  1. Hey I'm not trying to burst your bubble, but I think you budget is not realistic. I would not personally let my car go for anything under $30 grand, and even then I would have to seriously think about it. Just to give you a point of reference. This is a link to a stock z http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Z-Series-/122034583640?forcerrptr=true&hash=item1c69d3f858:g:l6EAAOSweWVXeQxR&item=122034583640 its buy now price is $36 grand.  

     

    A 2jzgte with manual transmission is almost 10 grand.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/JDM-94-98-Toyota-Supra-2JZ-GTE-Twin-Turbo-Engine-6-Speed-Getrag-Transmission-BOX-/141951601218?hash=item210cf98a42:g:g9AAAOSwWBJXBXa-&vxp=mtr

     

     

    I wish you the Best of luck finding your car!

     

    EDIT:

     

    Just to add, here is a link to Hagerty values for the 240Z. I realize its for a stock Z but gives you a point of reference.

  2. My sr20det sprang a leak on the oil feed to the turbo. The car was running fine before this.  I got the car home.  I replaced the line.  During the installation i removed the intercooler piping from the hot side to get the lines on.  I took the car for a drive, everything seemed fine.  A few days later i tried to take the car for a drive and it hesitate and shook the car.  I was also not building boost.  I got the car home and removed the intercooler piping thinking it was a leak.  I very carefully replaced the the piping.  The car will now barely start. It will have a very rough idle for a few seconds and then shut off.  During the idle the Afr is 16 or 17.  I disconnected the MAF. It made no difference.  I noticed the fuel pressure was dropping as well. I removed the vacuum line to the fpr and had a steady fuel pressure of 43psi.    Any ideas . Thanks

  4. Im interested in some aftermarket pedals like www.srpracing.com and www.ultimatepedals.com . I'm wondering if the 1973 240z had slightly larger gas pedal than the previous years. I've noticed on the pictures on these sites that the 260z gas pedal looks larger. I know in the past I've ordered a heater core for my 240z and realized i have a factory 260z heater core. Does any one have any experience with this?

  5. I just installed the borg warner efr 6258 on my sr20det. I cranked the motor over until i had oil come out the drain. I clamped everything. Started the car and let it idle for 5minutes. I then went to take it fora quick drive around the street when i noticed it wont build boost and sounds like a siren. Im using the build in wastegate and a blitz boost controller with hks blowoff valve. Its on the stock manifold. Is my turbo faulty? Does it sound like a boost leak?
