I've heard cut-down Chevette springs do the trick...
-
Any and every 2- and 4-stroke intake design works like this. Valve opens, air starts moving, wave propogates away from valve, wave hits end of runner, opposite wave comes back and hits the intake valve just before it closes (at resonance).
-
Longer runners drop the resonant point lower in the rpm band. With 40degC IAT and 248deg valve duration, a 26" runner will hit the 1st harmonic around 11000RPM, nowhere near 4500RPM! However, the 2nd harmonic will be around 5500RPM and a 3rd harmonic close to 3750RPM. I've written some detailed (probably TOO detailed) responses about intake runner tuning, which can be found in a search: http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/105783-ideal-intake-runner-taper/

Great thread, TJ! It should be sticky'd. Awesome links, nice photos of the process, and clear explanations of the logic behind it. That's going to be one sweet-shifting tranny! Car sounds great, BTW.

Too true and would work in the Bay Area as well...

Sounds like a hydraulic problem. Have you checked the fluid level in your master?
-
-3 is definitely not 0.093" ID. More like 0.156".

Holy SH**, the guy wants $265 for a freakin' crossmember... wow.
-
To triple-check, is this what you're looking for? http://www.zcarsource.com/front-differential-mount-crossmember-240z-70-73-used_8_56443_50504.html
-
Doesn't sound like he wants an RT mount, as it doesn't hold the fronts of the control arms in place. I have a stock front diff crossmember from a '71 lying around in my parts hoard that I can sell you. Is $40 shipped fair?
-
I'm a bit confused here. Do you need the actual rubber mount or the crossmember? Sounds like you need the crossmember, but I don't think anyone fabs their own unless something custom is going on. We need some more info...

If you want to make sure, send the flywheel (and clutch setup for that matter) to a shop that does balancing. It's an internally balanced engine, so if the engine is balanced and the flywheel/clutch are balanced, then the entire setup is balanced.

Euro 240z tail light conversion, and series 1 hatch on 280z

I guess I'm the only one who prefers the 260/280 tails, dash, and hatch! -
I am in awe. This project just keeps getting better, that is one clean Z!!!
-
Nice job! I faced both of those issues during my MJ install as well, it's a common theme. Can't wait to see it running and on the road!
-
Thanks Glenn, can't wait to put it back on the road!
-
Just donate $20 to the site and you can post all the FS ads you want!
-
Cool project, keep up the good work!
-
If I decide to sell it, I'll let you guys know!
-
That is sweet, Clive!
-
Fantastic looking 260! It'll be a nice change of pace to have a nice, quiet, non-stinky Z!
-
Is this anyone we know? I think Leon's car is in a pic
Leon replied to BluDestiny's topic in Non Tech Board
Oh wow, the one with Panasports does look JUST like my Z before I put a front bumper on. Not me, but might as well be! -
Party time!!!

Drive-drive, pass.
