[LS1 oil pan/pickup/dipstick/tube/filler]

I have a new take off LS6 Cadillac CTSV pan with windage tray and pickup. Will not fit in a Z.

[16x8 rims in 4x114.3]

http://www.diamondracingwheels.com/ makes a 16 X 8 in that bolt pattern. You might also try http://www.centerlinewheels.com/. They don't list them, but they will make them up fo you

[is thread locker on rear stub axle nut ok?]

The old style staked nuts should not be reused. The new style ZX locking nuts are P/N 43262-W1200 from your Nissan dealer. I just bought some from Courtesy Nissan for about $5.00 each.

[240Z 5 Lug Conversion? Anyone?]

Techno Toy Tuning offers spacers/adapters at a fairly reasonable price. I have no experience with them. I just know they have them.

[Stub axle nut help]

Part #43262-W1200

 

That is the pert # for the correct nut. They cost me $4.78 each from Courtesy Nissan

[Stub axle nut help]

After the third try, I finally found someone at Courtesy (Steve) who knew what I was looking for. He said they are no longer in the parts book, but he can get them. Apparently you need to know the secret handshake. I don't recall the price, but I don't think they were very expensive. When I get them, I will let you know if they are the right ones.

 

Jon, You should consider keeping your extra set. If you pull your stub axles occasionally to check or repack bearings the nuts should be repalced at some point. I think the FSM says to use new nuts every time.

[Stub axle nut help]

I need to get my hands on some of the 280ZX stub axle self locking nuts. I ordered some from Courtesy Nissan and they sent me the ones you have to stake to the axle. I called them and they told me this is all they have available. The part # for the staked nut is 43262-21000. It said this # supercedes 43262-21050. I need the part # for the self locking ones, or can someone tell me where I can buy them. I am not necessarily in love with stock Nissan parts. I only need something that will work as well.

Thanks

[Ethanol Z]

As you know' date=' anything above E14 will require that fuel system mods be made. You would need to have things like nickel plated fuel lines, specal injectors, hose, etc., to resist the corrosice properties of ethanol, espealy at E85. Look at places like Brazil that use ethanol.

 

 

Of course, E100 has something like 113 octane, so E85 will be very high as well.[/quote']

 

This is correct from my research. I checked with engine builders and carb people and E85 will require the same fuel system components as any other alcohol. We have an ethenol plant here and they verified the corrosive nature of the fuel.

 

E85 is 104 octane. and fuel mileaage will be about half. Get a bigger fuel tank.

[cometic head gasket]

Whens the last time you tried to order one from them??

I got one from them in September. PN/11044-91MM1 for the 1mm thick and 11044-91MM2 for the 2mm thick gasket.

[cometic head gasket]

HKS makes a head gasket comparable to the Cometic. I buy mine from Courtesy Nissan. I believe they will work up to a 90mm bore and come in 1mm and 2mm thickness.

[Where to get better intake and exhaust studs?]

ARP has them in their sport compact section. M8 X 1.25 X 45 should work. They are stainless steel with nuts and washers. You should own a caliper anyway if you are working on your car.

[Flywheel Bolts, good source for new and strong units...]

If you really need them

 

ARP kit is 203-2801 (8 Toyota bolts)

 

I needed them for my setup. The heads are too tall on the stock bolts for my setup and it needs the short 12 point heads on the ARP bolts.

 

Are the ARP bolts long enough? I measured my old ones and they measured 1 1/16" (27mm) long and the ARP website say theirs are 1" (25mm) long.

[Super Trap mufler on a 6 cyl Z..]

I am running a 4" X 12" Supertrapp on my 240Z with 6X1 headers and a 2.5" exhaust. I run 6 discs when I sneak to the track (pretty loud). At the track I have been experimenting with anywhere 8 discs to baffle only with 0 discs. The ability to tune these is what makes them so great. I have one on my big inch Harley, and was able to tune a great torque curve just by adjusting discs.

[HEI style dizzy cap]

I don't think so! Just standard caps! Why do you ask?

I like the way the wires snap in. I have had trouble in the past with the push in wires working loose.

[HEI style dizzy cap]

Does anyone know if there is a cap that uses HEI style terminals available for the E12-80 dizzy?

[cometic head gasket]

I would be interested in two of these gaskets, depending when they are available. I am building two L28 +.080 engines. My engine builder would like to use the Cometic gaskets instead of O-ringing if they are available soon.

[Who Makes the 4 bbl intakes that work on L-6s]

I put a lighter secondary spring in. I had to play with that a little to get the right one. I used the stock jetting and it worked fine. This was on an otherwise stock L24 with 6x1 header. I am now working on a built L28 so I am sure I will need to change jetting for that.

[Who Makes the 4 bbl intakes that work on L-6s]

I did a forum post at Zcar.com about installing an Arizona Zcar manifold on my 240Z. It has all the part #s frrm Jegs to make this install painless. I really like this setup. The car starts and runs great. Filter on my name as the author.

[R200 rebuild. Help!]

I need to rebuild an R200 for a swap into a 73 240 with a R180. I have the factory manual for the 73. Does anyone know if the rebuild procedure and setup is the same on a R180 and a R200?
