inline6

I found a few minutes to mock up fitment of the new radiator. This one is made by Griffin. It is three inches thick with 2 rows (1.25 wide each I think) in the core. Size-wise, it is a pretty good fit. This will be replacing the JTR setup I had in the car previously. Before the engine blew up in August of 2015, I recall seeing the temperature needle on the stock temp gauge going slightly above its normal position. This radiator should achieve an improvement with regard to that issue.

Thanks Rossman. Work I plan to do before I start this engine: Installation and hookup of a full set of Speed Hut gauges Installation of a larger capacity aluminum radiator Installation of an electric engine cooling fan to replace the clutch driven cooling fan Installation of a dry sump oil tank Making and installing all of the lines associated with the dry sump system Installation of a smaller battery (perhaps lithium) to facilitate the installation of the dry sump oil tank in the engine compartment I've kept busy for the last five years with a 240z restoration project which I have been posting about over at www.classiczcars.com. That one is currently awaiting paint - literally, as in nothing left to do but spray it. My Z project cup runneth over.

Nearly 8 years later, I have a replacement engine, which I received today. Not much to see, but here are some pics: I have a lot of work to do before it can be fired up in the car. So, it will be a while before that happens. This motor is very similar to the one I destroyed. Changes are 89 mm bore, (now a 3.0 liter vs. 2.9 before), Intake valves are titanium (vs. stainless before), crankshaft this time is not lightened and knife-edged, and this engine will utilize a dry sump oiling system. I have shelved plans for a 3.4 liter. May never get back to that. If I had it to do over again, I'd go with something much more "standard" and pay one of the L-series specialists to do it per their recommendation. If this engine blows up, I will pay one of the well known L-series specialists to build a reliable replacement engine. Here's hoping this one doesn't go boom.

Sorry for the delay. I will pm you and we'll figure out final price with shipping.

I still have them.

Sorry, the fender was sold.

Cam SOLD

Hi Rich, Just seeing this. I still have the cam. Let me know.

Anyone have a set of 6 titanium valves for an L-28? Let me know.

Did I get back to you on this? I don't think I did. Fender is still available.

Bump - edited to remove rear sway bar which is sold. Reduced price on the Porterfield brakes.

Resurrecting this one and reducing price to $200. I have a stock cam which is in excellent condition - different than the one in the pics above. I used the one in the pics - I sent it to Isky and had it reground. Price is $50 - I can ship directly to your cam regrinder. Let me know if you want pics.

Bump - and status update: Hood #2 is still available $300 Headlight housings (metal left and right) are still available - reduced to $80 each Fender still available $250 - see update pictures with sandblasted lower corner. Sold one hatch and I am holding onto the other one for now (I may need it after all). I have had pretty good luck shipping large items via Greyhound - much cheaper than FedEx or UPS.

Hood #2 is still available.

Hood #1 is spoken for... Hood #2 is available. Sure, send me a PM.

I have a pending sale on one hood. The other is still available. One hatch sold. Other hatch no longer for sale (for now - I may need it). Headlight housings are still available - price drop $80 each. Fender still available - $250. I will sandblast the bottom where the rust is soon and post pics, then protect with some primer.

I still have them.

$100 each. I'll do free shipping for you going to MO. They are rust free, mounting studs and threads nice, no damage. Nice OEM parts. Can take more pics for you if you would like. Garrett

Updated original post - basically one hatch sold, one hatch no longer up for sale, everything else still available.

Updating with some pics of the hoods - this is hood #1 from desert climate - not even surface rust inside the front structure. The mounting holes have been slotted by someone which I didn't notice until taking pics. I have come across that before on another hood - it's an easy fix (mig weld and file) - $300 *** edit SOLD, and pics removed Hood number #2 - very straight, some light surface rust inside of frame. Acquired in Virginia in the early 90's from a 1972 240z and stored inside since then. *** $300 and still available

Based on looking online, the Nissan hatches are the same from around mid 1971 to 1978. https://zcarsource.com/hatch-240z-260z-280z-71-5-78-coupe-used The thing about hatch number 2 is that the defrost grids are vertical. From more researching online, I believe hatch #2 is from a car made between 1/1971 and 1/1972. https://zhome.com/History/New71Late.htm https://zhome.com/History/DesignChanges.htm Why don't I take some more pictures of it and get back to you. You can compare to yours and see.

I have the following for sale - these parts lived in a dry climate and have been in storage for many years: Two 240z hoods. Both are OEM and in very good condition with no rust. If you would like more pictures, I can get them for you. ***Edit many more pics of hoods below. These are both available (11/7/2018) hood 1 $300 *** Edit - SOLD and pics removed hood 2: $300 *** Edit - SOLD and pics removed Two 240z tailgate/hatches. Not aware if there are any aftermarket versions of these - these are OEM. Both of these have the original Nissan glass as well. Tailgate/Hatch #1 (slight damage to rear edge) $150. *** Edit - Hatch #1 is SOLD (11/7/2018) This first one has horizontal defrost lines. I do not know if the defrost grid is functional. The lines look to be in good condition. The glass is in excellent condition. No significant rust anywhere. One piece of stainless trim has a mark: Tailgate/hatch 2 $250: *** Edit: This one is no longer for sale for now - I may need it for my car (11/7/2018): This one is complete with original Nissan glass, stainless trim, and a white inner trim panel. This hatch came to me via the Denver area, and has no rust. I can get more pics. 240z fender - passenger side $250 - OEM part *** Edit - SOLD and pics removed Straight, very little rust (only in the bottom corner): This part came to me from the Denver CO area - no accident damage. Does not come with the headlight housing which is currently attached to it in the pictures. That is also for sale however. Headlight housings - metal (left and right) *** *** Edit - SOLD and pics removed All mounting studs straight and intact with nice threads. $100 each: Again, happy to provide additional pictures.
