cgsheen Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Poly bushings on the compression rod? You'll need to replace the poly bushing on the back side with a rubber bushing - otherwise you'll probably break the compression rod. Ask me how I know... There are a fair number of thread posts regarding the issue. Edited April 3, 2019 by cgsheen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverdone Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Or he could just get adjustable compression rods with a rod end in it that allows it to pivot instead of trying to squeeze rubber to get its articulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Or a g-machine ball and socket setup. I'd say from down right stupid to ideal. Weld it to the frame, poly bushings both sides, modified poly bushing both sides, poly 1 side/rubber 1 side, rubber both sides, rubber 1 side/ball and socket, rod-end, a-arm style arm.

Home Built by Jeff Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 In this episode I fit a 123 distributor to the 680g to hopefully get it running properly once and for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winstonusmc Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 The hazard switch on the LHD 240z is to the right of the steering wheel, so I would assume it's to the left on the RHD. It is one of two holes, the other is the cig lighter. http://zhome.com/Classic/Restore/dash.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been informed since that Aussie cars didn't have hazard lights. Or cigarette lighters for that matter, which is weird as they have an ash tray?

seattlejester Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Interesting, maybe they stripped them down like how we have stripped down models domestically. Reminder to take another look at the TC bushings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home Built by Jeff Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 I finally sort out the running issues and no surprises it was my fault. We then tune it up on the dyno and get that final figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgsheen Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 We've found that most stock L28's dyno about 110 or less depending on condition. 150 RWHP in a Z makes a fun driver. Get it out on the road and enjoy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
