Fuzz260z

ive been looking around for some coilovers for my s30. ive found a few kits on the net, and recently found this one on ebay. im not so sure about it, it dosent say any specs and dosent even look like it would fit. im just wondering if anyone has bought one of these kits and installed it, or if anyone knows about these kits in particular. cheers http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Racing-Dual-Coil-overs-Coilover-DATSUN-240Z-260Z-70-78_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33586QQihZ013QQitemZ230177830196QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

cheers mate! much appreciated Fuzz

hey, was wondering if somone could tell me exactly which rims are on this s30, im thinking about getting them for my project. cheers

'77 260z, L26 stocky

hello, i am currently entertaining the idea of buying am a 280z(non turbo)for a few hundred (aussie). shes pretty rusted and dinted, but im not worried about that, im sure the engine is still strong. i also have a 77 260z, and my idea is get the 280 engine running sweet, turbo it and all that jaz, then drop the new 'L28ET' in the 260(with new drivetrain obviously). my quetion is, will the old 280 motor be able to tolerate the boost and compresion as well as the L28ET would? would it give the same performance? i havent seen the egnine in the 280 im going to buy yet, but im assuming it dosent have the f54 block or the p90 head(it may have the f54 block actually now i think about it). anything u guys might no that would help me is much appretiated.

please dont insult me with the thought of putting a commodore engine in a 260z.

sweet guys, this is good info, giving me plenty of ideas! tell me olderthanme, do you have a 280z, electronic ignition system, or still running the old points? and yeah i think your right 'Z cars rule' if i want lots of power, easy and fairly cheaply, sr20det would be the way to go, but i want to keep an ammount of stockness to my engine, somthing about the L series i just love. and it seems that new shocks and springs are the first thing ill do, after that, i think ill go new carbs, then cam, then porting the head. ive been reading a litte on the bored 50mm SU carbs, apparently they are good for 280hp on a stroker engine, id imagine they would be good for 200 on mine, but would they fit on the stock intake manifold? thanks for the replys and info, keep them coming!

doubt i could even buy a l28et in australia, i never even seen one for sale.

righto after sifting through all the info and alot of searching(cheers stony), ive decided i want to get the L26 up to 200-250hp NA(200 horsies at the wheels would be nice but anything over 200 flying would be good) and dont want to spend too much over 3 grand. now im not going to pretend that im a pro or even a mildy good mechanic, but i am handy with tools and dont mind spending weekends working on my car. my car is currently 164hp at the fly with the good old stock SU's and the e-88 head. is it possible to get my car to this goal with the amount of cash i mentioned? if so wheres the best place to start(porting the head seems a good place to start am i wrong?)?

cheers fellas!

hey, i am relatively new to Z cars although ive always loved em. ive had my 19977 260z for about a year now and shes pretty stock, except for some extractors and a 2 and 1/4 inch straight through. i want to get a little extra performance out of the old girl. if i had enough money id just drop a L28ET in and work it, but i dont have that sort of cash. I just wanted to know what the best thing to do first is, for example, im currently running the e88 head, should i swich to a p90 or a n42? or should i stick with the e88 and put a 460 lift 270-280 duration cam in? stick with the old SU's or put a set of tripple webbers? anything you guys might know, that i can do myslelf reasonably cost effectively. any advice is much appreciated.
