rturbo 930 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 CZCC = classiczcars.com Good on ya for sticking with an L series. Too many people ditch them for something else because they assume it's a bad motor because it's old. Or that they have to have 600hp to have fun with the car. Foolish. What about doing a stock rebuild yourself on the L24, and getting an L28 to send out for a performance build? That way you can stow away the stock, matching numbers L24 in case you, or another owner, ever decide to put the car back to bone stock original.

Stokked240z Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 I'll check out that other forums! Thanks. I've noticed, especially with the L24. People just throw it out the door. And I can't count how many threads I read where someone was building one. And every comment was to abandon the L24 and their build ideas. Seems everyone is stuck on needing to go turbo. Yeah, so that was kind of the idea. I think I'll probably go with an L28 built by Datsun Spirit and after I get that all sorted out. I'll probably do a stock rebuild on the L24 in my garage as a learning tool. And then keep it stored away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkaw Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 So are you planning on doing any of your engine work or just contracting that out? Displacement and rpms are king with NA, so most move on from the L24 unless restricted by rules of racing or something . Or your like me and you what to learn and practice on your 24 before you spend bigger money on a 28! I am currently building a L28 and have a stroker by Rebello in the works. Hopefully I make most of my mistakes on the 24 before I get to the 3.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Yes, there is nothing like the sound of an N/A L28, I just love it. But I went turbo because it was bolt in and no internal work needed. Still sounds nice, and the torque of the turbo helps me get over my lack of cash and engine building skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokked240z Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 I'll probably have Datsun Spirit do a stage 2 STR L28 long block for me. And then I'll assemble all the other external parts and pieces. Then after I have a running driving 240. I'll start my L24 in my spare time to learn internals from.

(goldfish) Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I'm not really aware of any "good" L rebuilders local. the Z Owners Of Minnesota ( ZOOM ) Facebook group may have better insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
