So I hear I may not be able to edit the original post after so much time so I will just keep replying with the updated list for now. Current Times..... drzed------------74 260Z--------3N71B-------------Turbo-------------11.15@120.8 wigenout-s30-----77 280Z-------240sx5spd----------Turbo-------------11.80@120 thehelix112 ------72 240Z---------5SPD----------- Turbo --------------12.834 @ 115 rdelat----------- 79 280ZX--------5SPD?-----------Turbo --------------13.712@106.2 Trumpetrhapsody --74 260z--------240sx 5spd--------N/A--------------15.196@89.73 flatblack280 -----78 280Z---------5SPD?------=----- N/A --------------15.712@83.92

I will be retorquing this time for sure....

Good run but gotta stay Z car and L powered.....

upon check in some of my bookmarks there seams to be some discrepency. Some show all Z31 to have 3.7s some show Z31 to have 3.54s also. However I have never pulled anything but a 3.7 out of the 50 or so Z31s that I have had.

If you want to include the date you ran the time that is fine but I dont think a BEST OF's list needs the date it happened. Just need the raw data to know who stands where. Also updated the first post!

no, get a new one

Z31 = 3.70 (always) Any mods such as port work, intake manifold Wigen?

Wanna know how awsome this one is to drive around town?? lol. Rated at 512ft/lbs I think. However the syncros do love it. Shifts are much faster and more smooth into each gear!

No worrys...I changed it up some.

Junkyard motor that was rebuilt. Thats how I got it out of the junkyard. Dont remember the overbore. maybe .020. ARP head studs. Torqued to either 70 or 75 ft/lbs. dont recall. Only 6-7 miles since the head was resurfaced. Head was put back on and driven straight to the dyno. They have a few hundred miles on them or so but they looked really good when we checked compression once the motor developed a missfire.

Got a link to vids and times for those?

After viewng the "fastest street driven" thread I really think us L guys should have our own little show off thread. So many people over look these little beastly motors and the potential they have. I am thinking set up a list of the fasted L-powered Z cars. You may be asked to prove you times with both a scan of your timeslip AND a link to a video of the pass. 11.50s and faster require proof. Example.... JohnDoe -------70 240z--------5spd----------N/A-----------14.5@90mph ^user name------^car--------^tranny-------^induction-----^time And this is all you should post. No comments or questions. Make your own thread or PM the specific user if you have a question about their build. So who is first up? .....

I would start with checking the timming. Set it to spec via the FSM. Then I would check fuel preasure under load. Maybe replace the fuel filter. Then if none of that solves the problem start looking at the AFM and all of the electrical connections on the motor. These cars are getting old and build alot of heat under that hood. Make sure all of the grounds are 100% also.

Make your own thread and give us some information we could use to help you.

WHOOPS!!!! Looks like I have been reading that wrong lol. $60.69 waiting for me damn!!! Just for some dumb RC Videos lol.

I think slowoldcar has a late L24 in his garage he wanted to sell cheap....

Use the current pos+ to trigger the relay. Run the constaint 12v directly from the battery, place fuse at the battery. Ground near the pump. Make sure all of your connections are 100%!!!

yes...

You need to tune them per the FSM. Also the Unisync is not for tuning but for balancing the two carbs. Also this should be in air fuel delivery I would think....

Run a dedicated relay and fuse on the positive side. Yes, you need 20 amps.

Then would should my next step be in trying to solve my HG problem?

gonna find out as soon as I get off work @ 4am!!!!

They always offer you less money because some people will just take it. If the body shop wants $2700 accept no less than That plus your time to deal with the body shop, your transportation costs to and from the shop. You have to convince them that your time is valuable. Good chance you could get quite a bit more.

Never said it was the gaskets fault. Pretty sure this is what I said....
