Hi Dave!!

 

I ran a custom intake with dual downdraft 32/36 on my L20b in a 620 truck. I liked the response, but not the fuel economy.

 

Here is how it ran..

 

 

 

I personally like the round top SUs.

[Radiator swap for L24?]

[Japanese classic cars fun ride/cruise II ..pics are up]

I love those classic car shows! Thanks for sharing.

 

[Painting my wheels opinions/ideas]

I like this idea the best! It adds a little dimention to those wheels.

 

[240Z roof cracks]

Ha..I have them too. I was curious why, now I know. Thanks

[Cheap Rust Preventative Maintanance for the Floor Pans]

Nice info!! Thanks, I have some work to do with my floor and I was wondering what to use. Thanks!

[Why am I constantly being asked to abide by posting rules?]

If that system were automated, I think it would be a good system to implement. Especially in the classifieds. It seems that NO ONE reads the rules in there.

 

What?? What rules??

 

The forum here is run pretty tight as is. There are many restrictions and guys are forced to toe the line and I like it that way. Keeps the playing field level and everyone on the right track.

 

No matter how hard you try, you will not make everyone abide by the rules let alone read them. That is what the big ban hammer is for.

[spammer in my PM box]

I changed the message throttling options for new users, they can only send 1 PM to 1 recipient every 30 minutes.

That should turn them off quick enough.

Ha! So that's what happened. I was a little taken back by this new wierd restriction. I tried to send a pm and was told NO!! lol I had to wait for 30 min.

 

Well, at least now I know.

Hello, I just aquired this wonderful 1973 240Z form a guy looking for a trade on CL. I traded my 1973 620 truck in a strait trade. I thought is sounded like a great deal for me. I have alway wanted a Zcar and now I finally have it!

 

Pic of my truck...... This was a two year project. http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=3393

 

 

 

The 240Z has all the rust in all the usual places, but it is workable. The L24 smoked, the interior is decent, the tranny has been gone through recently nice and tight and smooth shifting, flat tops YUK! I have to get started on transforming this baby....so here we go

 

She has new struts and control arms, a small amount of rust in the usual places.....but it is a Z car. I have wanted one for ever and now I finally have one. She also comes with a set of round top SUs and some other stuff. I WILL need help from you Z car guys...since this is all new to me.

 

Here are some pictures....

 

Out side body.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the interior....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The engine bay......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other specifics.....

 

 

 

The rust......

 

 

 

 

 

 

First things first....I had to make her a Hybrid Z car, so I went for the swap not even 8 hours after I got her. :burnout:Thanks to Skib this was a smooth but time consuming swap.

 

Say goodbye to the L24

 

 

 

 

 

 

Say hello the the L26....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a start up video with the L26

Thanks Ed...email sent.

[Need help with flat top to round top SU carb swap]

Hi, I have a 260z with hitachi flat top carbs and I put on round top SU carbs and kept the 260z intake. I had to modify the linkage but your swap will be pretty easy I think. I got rid of all my emission stuff as well as the water that runs through the intake as well as the idle compensator with no ill effects. I can send you some photos if you like. I no longer have the carbon canister or egr hooked up and swaped out an early non egr top piece to bypass it altogether. I ran an exhaust manifold that had the heat yubes removed and ends plugged.

 

Hi,

 

I would like to see pictures of your swap. Thanks.

[Well aint this Neat]

hows the "Fair-lady" ?

[Well aint this Neat]
