Ledge Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 I agree with everyone else, it definitely needs the wing to 'complete' that rear end I've also been looking for a wing and have been quoted ~$255 for a 432 style wing from Japan delivered (fibreglass). Would definitely like to know of a source locally. Hi Adam, Is the 432 style one like this with the ribs and if so could you let me know where. Quote
adam Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Hi Adam, Is the 432 style one like this with the ribs and if so could you let me know where. http://page22.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/l160462628 Doesn't appear to have any ribs unfortunately.. Edit: Sorry, I thought it said 432 in the description somewhere too but it doesn't. Quote
benny Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 I think I found my missing hp. The boost gauge line had a big crack in it right near the manifold. It has now lost its overly large torque hole. This thing is going to be nuts once I get the 4:3 gears in it. good to hear... need a video soon mick!! Quote
lightmaster240z Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Com on Mike where is my lunch time viewing. It been a week or three. Quote
zzzzed Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 Yeh I know. I forgot to video the dyno run. My bad Quote
zzzzed Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 Here is an update on my future plans. I am going to build an rb24det motor for my zed. There are several reasons why I want to do this One being is that I already have an spare Rb20det To build it from. Secondly, it would make it a true 240z again. Thirdly, just because it's different! From what I have read, To build one you need and Rb26dett crank and rods With 4ag pistons And a little machining to get all to fit This Will not happen for a year or two yet because I have to sell my Datsun 1200 first. But in the meantime I will be doing research and collecting bits for the Job. Quote
Rat1314 Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 *looks for the 'like' button* Sounds like a great idea, will be interesting watching it all come together Quote
Ledge Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Hey Mick, You should go NA with triple webers aswell Quote
zzzzed Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 Yeh that would be cool but I love booooost!!!! And my 2 seater 260z is N/A. Quote
nizm0zed Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 May as well make up some custom rocker covers to give it that 'classic' look to match the triple webers Maybe look at the S20 as inspiration? Quote
zzzzed Posted March 16, 2013 Author Posted March 16, 2013 I put my 4:3 LSD in today. Ohh my Lordy Lordy lord. Now it empresses me. I still can't get the smile off my face. I need to get this thin to a track where I can rely try it out. Quote

luvemfast Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Would love to. But I just bought a second investment property so I bit broke at the moment Dude. That's what investments are for........... Making money to play! Quote
Fairlady Z Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Awesome Mick, told you 4.3 will make u smile. Just dont drop the clutch hard at 6000rpm from stand still they tend to do almost instant 180deg turn if not quick enough. "I bet he will try that now lol" Quote
zzzzed Posted March 16, 2013 Author Posted March 16, 2013 Already tried it last night Johny haha Simon yeh that is true. However I am in a low spot because I spent my savings to get the new property. Now I need to work my way back up again. I will benifet in the long term Quote
luvemfast Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Ok ok I'm coming to the nationals Jeeez....... That was easy Since you're making the trip down. You need to enter the sprint! Get put in my group and we can play Quote
zzzzed Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 Jeeez....... That was easy Since you're making the trip down. You need to enter the sprint! Get put in my group and we can play I don't think I will be doing any sprints because I can't get my sneakers running right. The zed is staying home. I will be coming over with Paul Quote
Ben Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Have fun you kids, Mick the car's looking fantastic, you should be proud. (and I'm jealous that my old girl has been in the shed for 6 years!) Quote
zzzzed Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 I thought it had been longer than 6 years Ben. I have had mine close to 8 years and can remember coming to see you not long after I bought mine and yours was out of action then Quote
Ben Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Nah mate, she retired hurt with head gasket failure in June 2006... (Self inflicted - boost > fuel delivery) BUT... the engine is back together, with a fresh P90, and the R200 LSD is in too. But I digress, this thread is about your top effort. Keep it up and I look forward to a ride. Quote
zzzzed Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 Arr ok. Any way after taking my zed out on the freeway I think I might need to have my diff rebuilt. Under acceleration it is fine Deceleration it has an intermittent grumble. Free rolling with the clutch in it has a constant grumble This all happens at speeds ubove 80 kmh Might check the wheel brings first because my old diff started doing it last time I took it or but not as loud So maybe it's not actualy the diff but a bad wheel Bering. The LSD does have a slight bi of back lash though. Quote
