I trimmed the vinyl and now it fits ok. I removed the lock washer and used some high strength loc-tite. I will check on it after I drive it for a while. I think it will hold.

Thanks for moving the thread. I will have to try moving the vinyl out of the way. I am going to do some autocross this summer and want to keep things as planted as possible. What do you think they are used for drag racing?

I bought MSA's rear strut bar. When I went to install it there is not enough room to get the lock washer and nut back on the three studs. Not even enough for just the nut. I didn't have this problem with the front. Has any one else had this problem? If so what are my options? I have searched with no luck.

I'll have to check that out. i have some more that I need to block off also.

thanks for the reply.

Here is the picture. http://album.hybridz.org/showphoto.php?photo=18939&ppuser=20419 What do these hoses and contraptions(sp?) do and can I just remove them? My hose hits the MSA strut bar. I can keep it if needed, but if I dont need it then I want to remove it. Jeremy

Just a follow up of the question of the 0-60 times. I took the 240z to the track last summer and ran a 15.4 at 89mph. since then I have done a tune up and changed the timing to 36 degrees total advance. It pulls really hard up top now. I have to look into a new differential to go with the 5 speed.

I set the advance to 35 degrees which is 16 degrees at idle. The car feels so much better. thanks

Thanks for answering my questions. I will play around tomorrow and see how it turns out.

thanks for the response If i rev it past 3K rpm when adjusting the timing will it continue to retard the timing or will it stop at 3k rmp. Where can i find the vacuum advance hose?

Help me! I have a '71 240z with a 280zx E12-80 Distributor. I am trying to set the timing and am not sure exactly what to set it to? I have used the search but am still confused. I think that i should set it to 12 deg. BTDC. but im not sure if i need to disconect anything from the 280zx distributor. The car runs good I just want to make sure I am getting everything I can out of her before I move to a L28. My mods are in my sig. Is 12 deg. a safe place to be? Do i need to disconect anything from the 280zx distributor? How do I check the advance? Thanks in sdvance for all your help.

Whats That?

3.2 stroker from rebello

- mild cam - MSA 6-1 Ceramic Coated exhaust header - Turbo Muffler

I think so.

I finaly got around to using the $1000 my wife gave me for christmas. She didnt know what to get me so she just gave me money. here is what i got so far: S.U. Air horns Front Air dam(mine is craked) CF rear spoiler BRE style Center console Oil filter cover New Choke cable I cant wait untill they arive(sp?) I love my wife

That is some power!

This might be a better option. When I bought the car there was a evry loud tick. It has gotten better since then, but I think it need the valve lash adjusted. I will have to do some research first. I have never tried to do that before. I am slowly learning more and more.

thanks for the info!

Can someone please explain to me what "bwt5" means.

I will do that but it will probably not be untill this spring or summer.

I might have to do that in the spring when I get her ready to drive. I am just curious.
