Trying to put all parts into a 71' 240z. I am looking at running a l28et with a t5 out of a 280zx turbo and then an r200 diff out of a 280z, will I need to modify the trans mounts to run the t5 still? Also will I want the driveshaft out of the 280z or the 280zx turbo? I am trying to setup something with the least amount of fabrication required. -
I am in need of a new tank to replace my 240's, rusted beyond repair, fuel tank. I was reading post's about new fuel tank options just a few days ago. Someone posted the name of a company that offered a new tank that was reasonably priced that included an in tank pump and a return set-up, etc but I have been unable to find that post again. I believe the company name was a first name than the word "tanks", like "johnstanks.com". Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Here is the last dyno run we did to tune the car. It is a blast to drive. There are 29 pulls on this zip drive. You can just look at the last 3-4 pulls as they are the final tune. 225hp with 255 tq on the dyno. Think I am conservative enough on tune for longevity. Still need to work on decel, and initial tip in. Had multiple issues to deal with at the dyno. Kept losing power to the TPS(was the connection being loose on the spade to fuse panel). Blew coupler off did not know it for first 10 pulls. Pulled the power to 3 injectors by accident while closing the gaps on spark plugs. H

This is not a how to,It is what I have done. Mesuring the 240 rack I came up with 24.230" from center to center of ball scokets (iner tie rod pivot point) and a travel of 5.125". The pinion is 7.5" from the center of the housing. The Miata rack's I reviewed are from a 92 and 97. The 92 has a vavle body cast with the gear case and is held togeather with C-clips. This makes it harder to modify. The 97 has a vavle housing bolted to the gear case and the end cap screws into the housing. This is what I will cover here. The Miata rack is 26.040"center to center of ball scokets wi -
Just wanted to throw this out there. Which would be the best s30 model to invest in? What seems to make the most money? or get the most attention? Is there a good year or engine size that came out and everyone went 'That's the one to have' Quite ofter the very early cars seem to be the ones people want to collect? Quite often the company sorted out all the problems and by the end the cars were the best of the lot! Take the e-type for instance though, and the early 3.8 roadster series is a GOD and the later v12 is a train wreck in my opinion. I am new to th

I want to try to do an engine swap in my 280z, hopefully to a vr38dett from a nissan gtr.. Does anyone know if this is possible? The engine is a 3.8 v6 if you didnt know. I havent seen anything about anyone trying it before. If that doesnt work, id do an rb26(i6), or an ls1(v8). Opinions:thoughts/knowledge is appreciated.

Hi everyone, I have a 72’ 240z that I bought 4 months ago, and have put on the road since early February and recently I’ve encountered a problem. Problem: Backfiring out of carbs under load in the med/high rpm range. Issue is absent with the choke on. Points, condenser, cap and leads replaced. Issue has got progressively worse after ~500 miles of driving since buying the car. N58 needles used with a slight ridge formed due to wear. Once the problem became severe the oil was found to be at the minimum level. Suspect valve clearances or needles to be potential cause, but it's probably a carb

Hi All, Had a seller drop out after many months of waiting sort of patiently and am on the hunt again for a 240 with a SR20DET swap. I was a passenger in one and the balance blew my mind... I've always wanted one, but this was the "must have" turning point. What I care about: A car that is solid mechanically. I do not care if the interior is crap and/or only has one seat. I live in an apartment and don't have a garage, so doing my own swap or heavy installs is unfortunately out of the question. Budget: ~$13,000.... That's the top end, but if you have a car that has been stri

So I am well aware of the fact that the Inner Tie rods for the 240/260/280 are NLA from almost all sources, but I am wondering if somebody has found a solution for a worn out inner tie rod! Seems crazy that either everyone has perfect tie rods, or is living with crap ones. I've had a couple of ideas, but none of them are easy/require lots of machining. Looking for a good solution!

Hello, I am looking to buy a 240z in the Wisconsin area or as close as possible. I would like it to be a project, so it does not have to run but would prefer all the parts be there. I have been looking for quite sometime. I am really only able to pay at most 1500, which i know is not going buy a whole lot of quality but i have just fallen in love with these cars and want one so bad. Thanks!
