What are the best books for L6 Z performance? I have the one from Frank Honsowetz How to Modify Your Nissan & Datsun OHC engine. While it was informative, it can be very vague in some sections.

 

Also are there any good books out there for suspension/handling for Zs?

(Probably out of print now but worth the effort to get. Covers all aspects of modifying a Z car or sedans for autocross, IMSA and other road-type racing. Known as "The Bible" amongst old time Z nuts.)

 

I managed to find all of these at my local library through inter library exchanges and copied them for my personal use.
