flashstang04 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I wish I could help you, but I can't even find out what mine is.....and don't expect an answer right away here BTW, very few seem willing to help, even if you try the search first.

Guest ON3GO Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 thats not cool at all.. but scarab, does the block say F54? The P90 head came on turbo F54 blocks and those came in 81-83 years. i forget when the P90A head came into play so i could be a little off. but did your head and block come as one? mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagz Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 .....and don't expect an answer right away here BTW, very few seem willing to help, even if you try the search first. Careful. That statement will rub a bunch of people the wrong way and, in my opinion, is completely untrue. This site is full of extremely helpful people that are always willing to help out. That being said, we all prefer that everyone use the search function liberally before posting because many questions have been asked and answered before. On to the question: Assuming the head and the block are original to each other, the engine is likely an '81 or '82. The block casing code will likely be F54 (look under the exhaust manifold, behind the motor mount for the code). If the head were stamped P90a it would be an '83. If the block is an N42, you don't have an original head/block combo so, it'll be hard to say what year it is. There is some info on castings/years at: Datsun Z Garage You might get more information at classicZcars.com or (I hesitate to suggest) zcar.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not saying that to be tacky or flame anyone, BUT, it is true that someone wanting to know something will get little response if it is a common question. Believe me I know how it is... I am on a mustang board and have to answer all of the same questions over and over (gears, tires,best tuner,headers, etc), but I also understand that sometimes people don't know where to look. So if it does rub people the wrong way...sorry,this is a board to help people.... thats just the impression I have received after getting very few answers. And regardless of how "true" or not it is as a whole, that's what has happened to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scarab73 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Thanks for the help! I have a N42 block with the P90 head, the engine came in my 240z track car and I know very little about it. I just ate up the head gasket, oh well... thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your first post was in the Non-Tech Forum...... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=100578 I am sure that I am not the only one that did not even read that post. If you have an electrical problem, post it in the correct forum... http://forums.hybridz.org/forumdisplay.php?f=68 Second, there are very few 260Z owners on this site to answer such a broad question like what are the common problems with a 260Z!!!! It would seem that if you have had the experience of posting on the Mustang boards you would act and post accordingly on this one......

I am new to owning a z. I didnt know there were specific forums dedicated to electronics, also, I was not notified that there were few 260 owners on this site. I dont know whether or not my electronics are different due to the fact that I found out I had a 240 engine (which is in the sig btw) The mustang board is not set up like this one, so, sorry for the inconvienience, if I had been told when I posted it what forum to post in, I would have "acted accordingly". Realize that guys that are used to domestic engines are sometimes starting over when dealing with an import. Especially one that is 30 years old. As far as I am concerned, the topic is closed. I will try to post in the right forums, and I am sorry for hijacking this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
