I have a 260Z 2+2 with 240sx 5 speed, that has whole bunch on new parts (read my sig) and I just recently got a TT so kind of being loosing interest in the 260Z. Rebuilt engine, 4 piston calipers in the fronts, sway bars, Eibach springs, Illuminas struts, new interior, etc. email me if you are interested (zolorin@gmail.com)

phantom, not sounding like a jack ass but you should have tuned your carbs a bit lean -- it does help. I am an aerospace engineer and I had 2 240Zs first one 73 -- with five speed (early) and 3.9 diffy going to florida and back to san diego I would compare mile marker indicators and my gauge (it would be off by maximum 2% i.e. 5-6 miles on 300 mile tank) I averaged 24-25 mpg going crazy (average speed of 80-85 mph) I got 28 mpg going 65 mph (there were two sections like that) second one is a 71 with late five speed and 3.36 I managed to get a 28 mpg going average 85mph from SD to San Francisco the odometer with within 1% error of the mile indicated by state (mile markers) Also I aways fill the gas tank to the same level --- 6 inches from the top of the filler neck -- can't get any more fuel (say within 0.1 gallon error) also there are 16 gallons in a 72 tank 1 gallon is unsuable period. 2nd gallon only if you are flat and level other 14 no problem and don't ask how I know, let's just say I have had enough expereince on that matter. My current one 260 2+2 is in high teens (work in progress)

I would not mind purchasing several of those as well email me at zolorin at gmail dot com thank you

It is 37:11 = 3.363636 so it is going to be fun, in transplanting the guts of one into the guts of the other muahhaha

Here in san diego there are very few R230 since cars don't die from rust so for the R230s to appear it will take some time. I did came across a R200VLSD (or I think it is) an Infinity with VG30de engine. The test that I did was spin one tire and observe the other and see if it rotates in the opposite direction, and if yes then it is open otherwise ask questions. So this one did not spin backwards which means that it could a VLSD. So the first question is, is it an R200VLSD? Second question is I have R200-3.36 (they do exist and 37:11 is a proof enough), I want to make it into the R200-3.36 VLSD. Is it possible to use the guts of the VLSD and stuff it into the desired ring and pinion say from my desired R200? What else do I need (halfshafts come to mind) etc.

Hey I may be interested in 87/88 mm bore gaskets, but can you tell me about what is so special about this company's gaskets?

No comment, what can I say the guy wanted to be drunk and got his wish.

hm 16 is a bit low I have L28 with E88 (domed pistons) with CR of 8.5 and with proper tuning it is possible to get 26 mpg at 80mph on average. in town 19-22mpg so 16 is not the best nor it is the worst. the slightly higher CR does not really effect the gas milage that much unless you went from 8.5 to 10.5 (then you are more efficient) and thus saving gas.

can't you give out the ring gear and have those holes overbored to accept 12mm bolts (drill and ream the holes to 12.0mm for snug fit)

I would be very afraid of that woman, she can probably eat nails for breakfast and arrogant bastards for supper

LOL that was good, but I like the reeducation twist of watching Nascar and drinking a domestic beer

Found it, this is funny but if Toyota can barely make it with two models then guess what all of the big 3 will not be able to sell a single car in California

can someone repost the article because I just cannot link to it but about time that automakers said enough to the comunist state of Kalifornia

Let me get this straight, the Declaration of Independence is not allowed is school, If I have heard that from my kids I would have risen enough stink to get that lady fired.

Damn lucky with 400+ cid engine talk about the sleeper
