It's a damn shame when members feel they have to delete every single post they made when they want no more to do with a website. Same thing happened with classiczcars a few years back, so they modified the system so that you could only modify a post up to 5 minutes after posting it. After that its a part of history. Forums like this are an excellent source of information. Deleting that info shouldn't really be an option. Adding a follow-up post saying something like, 'this is all out of date, so take it as it is or leave it', instead of removing it completely would have been a better option, and maybe a bit nicer to the 99% of people on this site that didn't abuse the guy. Damn shame.

Yeah its got scam written all over it. I made this post before I saw this one http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=127842

Just a heads up Spotted this on Classic Z Cars http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=28768

Here's a few

I've seen a set of rings go for around $250 without the covers. With covers $500 and up depending on condition.

vlc <-- google for it. it plays just about anything.

Since you asked so nicely I'd forgotten too, so thanks for reminding me. had to zip it, pdf was too large for upload. Zoom Feb-Mar-1997-Skid-Row-240z.zip

The car doesn't have an engine. The ad says it did have a 327, but not anymore. Just make the guy an offer for the G-nose.

Yep. Its in the Nissan Competition Parts book: 99996-R8000 280ZXR Rear Wing Kit. Wing is made of molded rubber and is identical to the ones used on SCCA and IMSA winning 280ZX's. Instructions and and all mounting hardware is included. Will not fit 2+2 models or models equipped with rear wiper mechanism.

Theres a 240Z down under that has abs from a 300zx. I'll see if i can find the magazine article it was in.

Speaking of Y44's I saw this one on the weekend at a Z show in Western Australia. Its in a 260 2+2.

Yep, heres an AWD 260Z with a chev V8: and

So many different engines talked about in this thread, What engine are you talking about Dave, the H30 still? I have a engine service manual for one. I think it has specs in it. What do you want to know? Re: the H20 roadster thing. People would build hybrid roadster engines with the H20 bottom end and an R16 head. Theres more info about H20 engines at http://www.311s.org in the forums if anyones interested. Not relevant, anyway.

I saw an S20 for sale the other day on a website somewhere in Japan. hmmmm where was it... Not sure how current the website was though. It was just the block, head and a few bits an piece. not a complete engine.

I really like the look of this one, but have no idea where its from. http://jocke.z31turbo.com/pictures.htm

Or you could use a surge tank.

that may be so, but the RB25DET gearbox is not the same as the RB25DE gearbox. The 25T's got a stronger one.

Just throwing ideas out there: Would twin thermo fans be better than one large one? Some vents in the bonnet to let the hot air out. What condition is the water pump in? is it as old as the engine or have you put a new one in? Maybe one of those davies craig electic water pumps might help? http://www.daviescraig.com.au/main/display.asp?pid=47

That gnose doesn't look like its extends into the nose of the car as much as the original style 5 piece one does. The lower tray on the 5 piece extends all the way into the nose right up to the lower radiator support (or very close to it), stopping a lot of air leaking out under the car. I cant really tell from the photos so I could be wrong, but it looks like the gray part ends about 4 inches into the nose, and i cant tell what that white part is behind it. An original style gnose:

Did you hear they are making a Speed Racer movie. Should be out May next year. Ah Alan, causing trouble over here too. Mr C.

Chrism thanks for the very helpfull post.

Yeah, they are all nissan heads, so I'd expect them to look similar.

I'm over in WA. Yeah I was thinking that I'd put the RB in the 240Z and build the L28ET for another project - a heavier Datsun around the same vintage.
