Got me too..

~Drivers side freeze plug is leaking. ~Nissan Comp oil pan gasket is leaking too. Bolts and have retorqued. Might have to put in a stock gasket. Oil pan is straight and I have all new hardware too. Picked up my new '72 brake booster yesterday. Getting close!!

That is great man.

Welcome aboard!!

There is no such thing as a stock internal 3 liter. You need to gather parts which will equal increasing the stroke. Try this: http://zhome.com/rnt/L28conversion/3031FAQ.html It is a good thing to do but you need another head assuming it's a E31 (not ideal for turbo app) you need an E88 or P90. Now if those will work on the L24 is another question you need to ask around. As far as "saving costs" if you cut to many corners you will end up breaking something and starting over again. Like I said have a plan, RESEARCH, RESEARCH, ask questions in the appropriate forum. You got a long way to go my friend, take your time and be patient. Think 8-12 steps ahead before doing something. I have been collecting parts for 7 years for my build. If you have any other questions email me: a240ztt@yahoo.com and if I can't answer you I can try to point you in the right direction.

L28, cam, Z Therapy SU's or L28ET and turn the boost up to 10psi. That will get you started. If you are talking about using stock internals, manifolds and upgrade turbo... yes. Just in comparison I have over that just in machine work and the bottom end ONLY!

You got it.. ITS RUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One problem. I need a '72 or later brake booster. I have an early 240Z (short booster rod) w/ combination '79 280ZX master cylinder. The '72 and later brake booster has a longer (adjustable rod) which will allow the rod to go further into the master plunger which will allow me to me... oh I don't know.. to have a brake pedal again. Now it goes to the floor and barely stops. Philadelphia PA is hoarding all 9 of them all but I will have one in the next day or two. If anyone has one in the VA area let me know. Thanks,

Yea L28ET in n/a form NOW for break-in. DD? Daily Driver. Well if you are talking a 3.0 liter stroker n/a or turbo is one thing. An L24 turbo would be neat both would be reliable but the stroker would cost more. Questions for you are how fast do you want to go and most important how deep is that bank account? Next what is your horsepower goal? This will get you started and start planning a realistic goal. 3.0 liter stroker and L24 turbo is only the tip of the iceberg. There are so many other combos out there for horsepower and reliability and it all goes back to the money factor again. Tell me about it shhhezzzz I would start by searching the website and if you don't find your answer then post it in the appropriate forum.

Davy, Thanks! It's called silver vein hammertone. Black and silver mixed in a rough texture. I did the exterior of the 280Z stub axles, M/M rear disc brackets to match the existing rear suspension powdercoating. Entire Z was Ziebarted, underbelly is still that way until paint.

Motor is in, OS Giken mounted, trans ready to go in next. I had to purchase a dip stick tube and oil filter threaded nipple they went MIA in my garage but found this weekend. Oh well... Keep you posted.

Que Bella!!!!

After watching the youtube video yesterday while getting ready for work this morning they had her on the Today Show giving her a chance to explain. They played the video and had her talk about the lunar eclipse too lol.

Not mine but taken in Okinawa Japan circa 1996-1998 north of Nago.

David, Do you have a wide band O-2 in the mix? This might help you as well.

Just got my tickets to the D.C. show. Row 6 baby!! I figure since they are appearing on the MTV VMA's and if a repeat of the '96 VMA's happen and they break-up again, or after the first show if they call it quits at least I'll get my money back.

Like these: Too bad they were loaners from dtsnlvrs.

I used cement blocks as a base, with (2) 2x6 nailed crossed together. I made (4) of these suckers as jack stand supports especially when I had to jack on the asphalt driveway to give the jackstands some base. I made a 2x6 floor jack support once the car is higher to make the jack go a wee bit higher. Here is a picture of the double stacked nailed together jack stand upper higher mount thingies. This worked perfect for removal and reinstallation of my suspension. Imagine 2 cement blocks 2 squares of wood and a floor jack will give you much height. I like your idea. Kind of reminds me of the miny-truck show days back in the late 80's when guys would show off there wheel wells and under carriage they would use a similar method and bolt a plate to the hub with a jack stand combined. Good luck and let us know what you come up with.

don't know if it's really him sounds credible: ______________________________________________________ Michael Anthony Blog Posting August 23rd, 2007 From: http://madanthonyblog.blogspot.com/ Thanks For The support!! First of all, I hope all of you are having a great Summer!! I want to thank everyone for all the support you're shown me during the past months. I'ts all been pretty crazy, and I just wanted to bring you all up to speed. Alot of you have been asking about the upcoming Van Halen tour and my response to it. It's not that I'm not touring with Van Halen because I'm going out with Sammy, I'm going out with Sammy because I was not invited to do the VH tour. Sammy told me that if I was asked to be part of the VH tour and decided to do it, it would be totally cool, and it would not tarnish our friendship in the least!! Well it's not to be, and life goes on. I'll still be out there with Sam, and I can't wait to do some partying with all of you. One last note from myself to all the Van Halen fans out there who will be attending their shows...Wolfgang is a great kid, so don't judge him too harshly. I'm sure he'll do just fine!!....See you all soon, Mike posted by Michael Anthony at 11:31 AM

Well I have been on the phone for the last few days with Todd. Here is what's going on: ~ Need e-brake L brackets for the 240SX rear calipers (ordered from Nissan $25) I guess when I got my cores from the j/y I remember unbolting that bracket and leaving it. ~ R200 diff in, but he had a bitch of a time getting the left CV axle in and then the right he said no f-in way. A quick email to Ross (M/M) and he called Todd and gave him the pointer of compressing the suspension while on the lift to make the axles go in easier. ~ Re bent the brake master lines to allow the ZX master to work. A side note: on the 240Z the front reservoir is for the front brakes and the rear is for the rear drum brakes. On the ZX they are reversed front is rear and rear is front. When upgrading to rear calipers first take the guts out of the proportioning valve in the rear as it is setup for drum brakes. This allows more fluid to flow for the rear disc brakes. ~ Euro pulley w/ SDS magnets on it was cracked from the key slot back. Todd said the crank bolt hole was scratched up leading him to believe the crank bolt backed out and chewed the key slot thus cracking the pulley at some point. I bought this used w/ the SDS system from Austin I bet he didn't even know it was cracked, not blaming you man. Using stock pulley until the motor is broken in and switch to EFI w/ SDS w/ Rebello single groove pulley or another Euro pulley if I can find one. Other than those few set backs the motor should be in today and after the 20 minute cam break-in session I should be good to go. He plans on keeping it until labor day weekend and drive it around to make sure there will be no issues with everything. Wish me luck!!

great looks like I need one of these since my euro pulley was cracked from the key slot back. Lucky I noticed before putting it on the new motor.

After this past weekend with some long hard days the motor is 90% done. New brakes are installed, clutch, and brake master cylinders, TWM ball joints and e-brake cables are in. All that is left is 280ZX alternator conversion, Diff is almost in, trans, OS Giken clutch and oil cooler. Thanks to Amy, Todd, and Tony. Here are the pics tell me what you think? http://www.putfile.com/240ztt/images/139271 Here is a taste:

Sweating this over nothing. Ross sent me what I needed wasn't hard at all.

Hose the internals down with WD-40 or something similar and double bag them. You should be fine.

Does anyone have the instructions. I have seemed to misplace mine and I am at the shop now. If it's in word format please email it to me: a240ztt@yahoo.com Thanks so much and sorry about the short notice I am in panic mode.
