Awesome!!! Imsa? Edit...Nah... http://www.jimcookracing.com/catalog/page13.html it looks a little different than these pics for some reason...

What would your compression ratio be with an HKS 1mm head gasket? I don't think you have to shim the towers for it since it is so close to the stock 1.2mm. I am guessing you want something in the 8.5-9:1 range right?

GT42R!!! That must be LAGGY on a 2.0!!! but it sure makes power!!!

and new roll pins I hope What happened to me was I was sliding out of a neigborhood and jammed into second gear at WOT. The shifter droped completely loose and I got third engaged somehow. Then the gear selector fell out of the selector forks so I was stuck in third. Oh did I mention I topped out the tachometer going into second and left a big black cloud behind me? there was also a small puff of white...I think that is where I made my very slight headgasket leak...30 year old gaskets and head bolts don't like 8000+ RPMS...

it needs the crossbar that conects the two manifolds...just grind off all the unnecessary junk and leave at least one NPT fitting so you can measure vacuum. and a L24 uses 5 quarts of oil...You really need to get a haynes manual...

It's 130.2mm From the "how to modify your Nissan OHC engine" book... But I agree with them^ ...they know what they are talking about.

hmm...quite an interesting idea there Mull...

evildky: The L24 is the P30 block with the 73mm stroke and 83mm bore. The L26 is the same P30 block with a 79mm stroke and 83mm bore. The L26 is just a L24 stroked with the L28 crank and rods. HMM...well I just looking the how to modify yout L engine book and it only lists 1mm overbores available for the P30 block. I know that Forrest is using a P30 on his turbo motor and he has at least a 2mm overbore to make his 2.7 liter w/ the L28 crank. I think Mike/2003z wants to use an 86mm bore because of the Nissan Motorsports pistons he has already. Mike! I want to talk you into using your L28 block! I'l take a set of calipers out and try to measure the cylinder wall thickness on my P30 block sometime today. It may prove difficult to do though with the way the water passages are. If you want some help pulling your motor apart let me know...I have don't work mornings but I work almost all nights from 5pm. My L26 is already stripped down to the block and crank pretty much and I need one socket to be able to pull the L28 crank out.

1000hp AWD S30Z notice how THICK the Intercooler is...

ah...but the L26/L24 block has an 83mm bore to start out with. The cylinder walls are thinner than the L28 block walls... The "how to modify your Nissan L series engine" book only lists being able to go 2mm over on the L24/L26 block. This is why I am looking for an L28 block so that I can go bigtime overbore for more cubes... Just some thoughts... And I have felt the thickness of the bores through the water jackets and it is not so thick anyways...

I see... Isn't a 3mm overbore a little risky on a L24/L26 block? You would want to have it sonic tested for sure and run a medium-light compression as not to push too hard on the thinner cylinder walls... low compression on a N/A motor isn't too much fun either as you have experienced. What about shaving the deck of your engine block? Of course that would mean completely undoing your motor's bottom end...

Why don't you use an earlier head to allow you to easily get more compression? Your P90 would probably need to have the towers shimmed with a change from a 1.2mm stock gasket. I have that late E88 I would let go away for cheap... but you don't want that do you?

It's not what you think...

Why don't you send him a message? We have private messaging here in HybridZ...unlike Z***.com...lol

if the motor is stock just do 10w-30...you can do 10w-40 if you wish...I have used both...

That is a great price for that 12 gallon cell! I'll probably end up doing something similar to what you are doing here. I'll sit back and watch.. Great project!!!

I'd say get your wrench up there with your wrench and socket and see how much room you need to be able to remove your diff cover. I know with the stock tank I can't remove my diff cover because my socket won't fit up in there.

Awesome X64z!!! craftsman tools rock!! Are those metric taps in the bottom left of the photo?

there was someone putting a front end styled like an Aston martin on the front of a Z... back in the summer. Search and you will find what you seek.

You need written permission to do something like that...from the original producer and the translator...

This is not a McGyver but... one time I blew a roll pin on a shift rod of my Datsun 4 speed and I got stuck in 3rd gear and the shifter was way loose. I could not select gears at all...I had about 8 miles to drive home in 6 o'clock traffic.

So how could we hook a SC up to the tranny without too much fab work? You could cut and weld your bellhousing and use the gear off of your old broken starter and hook a belt to the gear (which connects to the flywheel) so that you could change pully sizes. maybe a new thread on twin charging is in order... Mario: what if you mount your SC on the tranny to the input shaft or to the flywheel? That would be Uber cool... *edit* check out this web page about twincharging

BWAHAHA!!! Great quik fix there!!!

It got deleted...I forgot about the legality issue of posting copyrighted material...lol even though it is from Japan...

SAWEET!! how far is the front hood extened from the stock length? I have though about doing a 2 piece front end with a longer and wider hood and have thought about extending the hood down like that. The front wing is funny... Is that the lawn edging mod along the side of the car? I thought of that but had not seen it done before for a street car but it makes sense. I think a huge-ish BRE spoiler would look great on that car.
