  1. been sold for a lloooooong time sorry

  2. hey bro do you have still have the bumper?? if so whats the lowest youll go on them thanks..let me know asap??

  3. I havent driven the car on the stock efi yet, but the car does make good power up top. From reading the articles, it sounds like I cant get enough fuel down below, but my carbs are also pretty worn out. I believe I cant get enough fuel down low with the stock needles.
  4. I'm running a n42 with early 3 screw 44mm su's on a e88manifold with a 6-3-2 ehader. So far, I'm not real happy with them. The car is still setup for fuel injection, so I may end up going back, if I cant get any more power. Right now the car is pretty sluggish all around. I know there is a lot of tuning to do still, and possible modifying the needles. I dont think putting the carbs on will give you any more power, maybe even a loss?
  5. Works for me. Did a search and someoen said it was o ring like. I figured one would work though, just wanted to make sure since i cant find the gas tank in the service manual.
  6. mine seems to have disapeared during transportation. I was wonder if I will be ok with a o ring for the seal. It's the good black stuff we use on fuel injection seals n what not so I figure it should hold up for the sending unit seal?
  7. Can I get by with eliminating the vapor seperator hoses on the gas tank, or will this cause some issues with teh venting of the gas tank? If I cant, what kind of hose do you suggest to replace the oem stuff with?
  8. You would never forsake your car with the superior 4g63? Yeah, it would be a shame to toss in a better engine. as for other guy? I've seen as many 2jz get crankwalk as I have seen 6 bolt 63's The 7 bolt crankwalk is a dsm only issue.
  9. reliability a inline 6 will always have much less stress on the engine for the hp made equivilent to a inline 6. If you wanna stick with a boxer, screw the h6, put a damn porsche engine in it, they make much better boxer engines to begin with Would be much easier to start with a nssan chassis that isnt too hard to convert like a s14. If this is a bugeye, I dont know why you would ever want to do anything to that........ nm
  10. I sold my last 240z because I didnt want to deal with the wavy roof, and I knew I was never going to be happy unless it was straight. I just held out until I found a decent chassis wiht a straight roof lol. Nice work.
  11. I've been tossing around the idea for a while now. yes there are better singles out there, but they are spendy, and I dont have them sitting on my bench like I do have a pile of 14bs. I'm already in the process of having a twin 14b setup made for my 1jz. I'm thinking spool by 4k on that engine, but I really have no idea as no one has ever done it. The turbo im talking about is the 1st gen eclipse turbo 5 speed turbo. a td05h 14b. Spools rather quickly and has a great compressor map for a stock turbo. I've seen 300awhp out of one, but realistic, 260 is easily obtainable off one. They are cheap, easy obtainable, and abundant. I figure I have 3, buy one more and get a manifold made, then fab up some piping. Anyone of you guys ran twins, and how do you like em? Also, how muc room am I going to have for routing all those water and oil lines with a typical twin setup? I dont see many twin setups, and I sorta understand why with the limited space, but it just seems like a fun project. As for the stock l28, i am not sure how it flows compared to a 1jz, but Id think it could spool the turbos before 4k.
  12. Heres a biut more detail on what I got for 500 bucks. The car is a 1972 240z. It was converted ti a early 280z fuel injection setpu in 1982. It has a n42 l28, some nice looking 3 into 1x2 heades dumping into a divorced twin exhaust without a h pipe. 2 cherry bomb looking resonators, and thats it. The header was deburred according to the pile of receitps and notes I have. The car has steel braided lines all around, poly urethane steering shaft coupler. There is a fire extinguisher mounted behind the passenger side seat o_O autox car possibly? The car also has a allison electronic ignition, platic covers for the headlights, upgraded halogen lights of some sort from back in the day. Bilstien shocks, which probably are shot by now, Ronal super rare and light racing wheels in 14x6 with one spare and 2 wheel caps. It also came with a ton of misc spare dasun poarts, like original oem datsun radiator lines etc.. 280z seats, stock radio, ugly white interior yada yada. It's been repainted once, but the same datsun orange color, and it looks like it was taken down to bare metal for the most part. So far, rust isnt horribly bad, actrually I still think it's quite good compared to most I have looked at. Cant beat it for 500 bucks. Goals are zg flares wats, either a oem or bre rear spoiler, and the non vented front air dam, which I already have. So here is my progress so far. So, been doing a little work the last few days. When I got it. Yesterdays progress. The few hours I worked on it today. mm look at them speed holes in the passenger side floor board lol. So far im real happy with the rust though. I gotta get these god damn wheel locks off though. There is no freaken rust on my hatch at all, I just cant figure out how to get the rubber molding off. Too bad it had louvers originally so there are holes drilled in the damn hatch.
  13. So, I picked her up last night. I'm very happy with the purchase. THe car is much nicer than any of the other cars I have went to look at. Rust isnt very bad from what I have found so far. Comes with a ton of documentation and goodies. It still has the original radio, keys and ignition. The dash only has one crack, has white interior, and 280z seats purchased back in 87. The wheels are actually ronals, and it even coems with a spare. In 1982 a previous owner had the car converted to l28 fuel injection. The car has a decent looking header on it. It's 3 into 1x2 and has a true twin exhaust going all the way back. There doesnt appear to be any h pipe on it. THe documentation says the exhaust was made by Cyclone Automotive Products of north hollywood cali. The last owner put twin early su's on it, but they must not have realized you cant run carbs with a fuel injected fuel pump, and thats why they wouldnt get it to run right I'll be tossing the fuel injection manifold back on it. I believe the car needs a new mas air sensor as the one it has is partially taken apart. I also received a vented msa front spoiler, along with a stocker, plus a lot of spare misc stuff. The guy who did teh conversion paid 1600 bucks for the l28 in 1982 . The guy was very anal about receiptsm, as I even have gi joes receipts for wd40 and a roll of towls.
