That is Zweet.

how do you feel your engine swap changes the character of your Z?
PLATA replied to thedarkie's topic in Non Tech Board
As mention , the LS1 with the T5/6spd on a Z is the recipe of choice IMO, CLASSIC looks with a modern reliable mill. My Z has lots of"character" in fact lots of it. -
Well the noise has vanished, yesterday after the ritual coffee and gas meet I did the customary spirited drive and now all is good, guess that the belt is seating were it should or the tensioner lost its virginity.
-
^^^ On my set-up the spot for the P/S is occupied by the A/C compressor, the noise started with the replacement of the tensioner and belt, prior to that no noise on display. As mention earlier I will do the OE belt(having a spare is a good practice) and go from there.
-
..... The GM old tensioner went to the trash bin with the reciept of the Gates belt,good idea though .
-
^^^ My set up has no p/s, I will swap the belt for an ACDELCO, and see if that will do the fix.
-
The belt was also replaced, not a GM but an AutoZone variety, I will keep a close eye on both and secure spares.
-
I replaced the belt tensioner on my Z, the original GM had too much play and the alternator was not happy. The replacement unit is made by Gates and it is making a high pitch noise , sounds like she has a supercharger ,kool sound but is this OK. The pitch noise is not a bearing/grinding type , is like a spool type noise, any info will be welcome.

A 72 just sold on BAT for 30 big ones, that is 30 grand, good luck on the 3 g`s budget.

^^^ Do a compression test , that might be a hook for a potential buyer. Do a video on engine and tranny condition.If all is healthy 500 + or - .

LS2 HybridZ 240 Sets 3 ECTA Records
PLATA replied to RebekahsZ's topic in Gen III & IV Chevy V8Z Tech Board
WOW, that is insane , Z`s are the true enthusiast car at all levels, be it an earlier all stock restored, a mild moded one , a full restmoded , a full blown drag specimen, they all bring smiles on every mile. -
More details will help, is this on a running car, carbs are easy to ID with a picture, hard to value with limited info.FWIW.
-
This Z is in the twilight zone, can it be registered and titled as a rebuilt car.
-
You are lucky that you did not post this on Classic Z, there you would have been ban, they take such alterations to the extreme, here we are a bit tolerant.:::::: BTW, pm me with your best selling price , but it needs to be realistic as this is a glued Z.
-
Not to come across as an AH, but to claim it to be a low # Z is a large not so true statement.
-
So in essence this Z is worth a lot of trouble, yes and no . The title age will bring some ease , but why was the body re vinded.
-
I wonder if this is a case of a vin transplant , interesting to see the vin tattoo on body .
-
I tend to agree that is not an early Z, the floor board picture on drivers side tells the story.
-
^^^ That is a very rare wheel.
-
That is a good question, I was on the site where I bought my JDM 89 300ZX and this little 1990 Nissan PAO showed up and did not resist and bought it out of impulse.This car is a lot of fun with the canvas top open on cooler days,an operating A/C for hot days, retro looks and 40 mpg, what's not to like.
-
Good to see my steering wheel on site members cars , if any out there interested I can put one together ,just pm me . ENJOY THE RIDE.

My new to me NISSAN PAO >>> in NIPPON now in the USA.
