    240z strut set and other stuff

    in Price Check

    Posted

    Oh, that makes sense.

     

    240z uprights/strut assembly. Like for someone to cut and make coilovers out of.

     

    SUs, dirty but functional. Came from running car and includes all linkages.

     

    P90a head, looks alright but may want to have it cleaned up.

     

    N42, basic shortblock.

     

    P79 head, off the same running car. Dirty but ran good

     

    4 speed, unknown miles but never had a hiccup.

    Engine Identification help (P79/N24) am I dyslexic?

    in Nissan L6 Forum

    Posted · Edited by JakeWard

    I know L series blocks are similar-ish, but I am just trying to define what engine I have L24, L28, or maybe some frankenstein combination. 

     

    -Car is a 72, with round-top SU's

    -Head is a P79

    -Block is a N24

     

    I googled N24 for a bit and only found a handful of people that essentially looked like a typo in an attempt to write N42. Maybe I'm reading it wrong?

    Brake Booster replaced: Reaction Disk missing?

    in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis

    Posted

    So Im fairly new to this but Ive done a good deal of searching, and will continue to after this post.

     

    72 240z, no brake mods

     

    First, I started having really tough braking combined with a hissing noise and idle speed jump. Searched and everyone says brake booster is the culprit. Prior to this issue, the brakes felt very normal ie. had progressively more pedal pressure depending on how hard you wanted to stop (like every other car).

     

    So I hunted for a reman'd 240z found one and ordered it. I got excited and put it in following instructions found online. Hopped in and took it for a slow test ride. Discovered very little brake feel until the very end of the throw then it was really grabby. Fiddled with the plunger rod and ended up having to swap tips (the old booster had a much longer tip), but still didn't solve the problem.

     

    Searched again and found that the "reaction disk" missing had very similar symptoms. The obvious solution was to grab the reaction disk from the old booster and put it on the new one. Low and behold, there's no reaction disk on the old booster..... go to check the new one and its missing too. Common?

     

    So now Im stumped because the old booster didn't have a reaction disk and brakes felt fine until the booster started leaking. 

     

    Im thinking of going to the JY and trying to find a reaction disk.

    Any ideas on what to do now? 

    Broken Alternator bracket need options ASAP

    in Gen I & II Chevy V8 Tech Board

    Posted

    I got this car in a trade and it was supposed to have a 327 in it. There is a metal plaque inside the drivers door that says its a 283 from 1963. I'm trying to figure out what the heck I am dealing with. I need an alternator bracket that fits (the current one is broken).

     

    I can take pictures if needed, but I really need to get this bracket issue sorted out before I sell the car. A slipping belt sounds crappy and a broken bracket looks crappy.

     

    The alternator was mounted above the valve cover on the drivers side.

     

    All help is greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks,

    Jake
