Tim's White 71' 240Z aka 570Z
RB30X:
Hi guys, here is some info and pics of my new Zed.
Build: 71' HS3010567
Engine: LS1 5.7L with a mafless tune, and block hugging headers (4>2>1)
Gearbox: 6 speed manual T56
Diff: R200 LSD 3.45 gears. Z32 CV shafts
Brakes: Z32 fronts and rears
Suspension: Coil over conversion, spring rates and dampner details unknown.
Fuel system: Alloy fuel cell, Carter lift pump, surge tank, Bosch 044 fuel pump, fuel reg.
Plans at this stage is to go over the car and fix up wiring. The dash isn't connected so maybe some aftermarket gauges for speed and revs might be able to get signals from the LS1 pcm. Maybe a new radiator, then there's nothing really stopping me from attending a motokhana. Re-install the interior as it was kind of all thrown in at the last minute. New carpets and vinyl. I've got a new weatherstrip kit from Black Dragon to go on. A rear spoiler. Still lots of things to do but certainly closer to being RWC than my other one. New paint job one day, but I love the white.
Hopefully one day it will look like this.

Very nice Tim, the shaved rear end and exhausts look great! 8) What sort of power does it put out?
Zedman240:

Tim, welcome to the LS1 brigade - I am envious. Believe you me there is a lot to be said for buying a project at this stage.
A couple of questions if I may;
Does it have the spare tyre well? and
Could you show some photos of how the fuel tank is mounted and the exhaust configuration around the tank?
Also, a photo of the gearbox mount would be appreciated, thanks.
If you want to add a bit of bling there is a mob in Brisbane who sell coil-less mounts rocker covers machined from aluminium billet. I have a set and they look terrific. I am relocating four coils to the area on the inner guards behind the battery (and four on the corresponding driver's side). If you are interested, send me a PM and I'll tell you how much I drove them down on the price.
Oh!... buy yourself a new gear lever but be careful with importing a short shifter, both zed240au and myself got caught with duds.
