lightmaster240z Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Yes I got a new one and put it in yesterday new record for me 5 hours from start to finish It go like a cut cat on hot tin roof. And it have have been a little bit of slip in second when it gave way Quote
620Z Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Well done Bruce. So we should see you at Thredbo then. Quote
luvemfast Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Yes I got a new one and put it in yesterday new record for me 5 hours from start to finish Was that 4 hours of looking for someone to do it and an hour of watching them do it? Quote
lightmaster240z Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Not this time. Lurch had to work the father inlaw was working on the 32 so he could take it out on Sunday leaving me on my own. I would have given you a call but I dint have your number Bruce Quote
luvemfast Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Nice quick turn around though Bruce Quote
peter mc Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 hi bruce come over on the weekend will have a look at the tune now you have done some ks Quote
peter mc Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 it Bruce's idea of making the 260 lighter Quote
luvemfast Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 whats this? :-) They're speed holes Quote
lightmaster240z Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 It time to let the inner pig out. Pete has got the pig on Monday for A much needed turn up. I look forward to seeing how much power I get from the old girl now that someone who know what they are doing is turning it. Stay turned for the next up date on Monday night. Quote
lightmaster240z Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Well the old girl got a bit of a tune up in the hand of the master today and it a different car than the one I left with him. There is more power than before and it runs like a puring kitten. Master Peter tells me that it has 120 Kw on the dyno now and I am as Happy as can be with my little old auto. Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted August 25, 2011 Moderators Posted August 25, 2011 That's a very healthy number to have. From memory, my last old stock L28 with elec ignition and 240 carbs only managed 91kw at the treads. Oh, did you get your console Bruce? Quote
luvemfast Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 That's pretty good figures for a stocky isn't it? Now to work on you about that transmission............... Quote
peter mc Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 yer not stock it has some port work ...and that auto is nice to drive i was very happy with the power delivary , but the carbs are worn out it was impossible to get the idle mixture right but on power side was nice . it needs new tubes for the needles to run in ... so cool to go driving a zed on the street, was smiling all day Quote
Agno Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Mine pulled a whopping 85.5rwkw 2 weeks ago on the dyno... I like Bruce's number more so I might have to go and pay you a visit once I rebuild the carbs Pete Quote
C.A.R. Posted December 29, 2012 Author Posted December 29, 2012 Bruce is enjoying his new 'Airflow Version' 240Z: More photo's to follow... Quote
luvemfast Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Great that Jay Leno was there to lend a hand! I think this may be the only build thread where the owner has actually done no work Quote
lightmaster240z Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Not true I held the Light so he could see what he was doing Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted December 29, 2012 Moderators Posted December 29, 2012 Wow, when you said it need a bit of work around the rails.................. Looking forward to seeing the finished job. Cheers PB Quote
Riceburner Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Great that Jay Leno was there to lend a hand! Hehehehe, I thought exactly the same thing! What's the planned repairs? Quote
lightmaster240z Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Repair under battery tray and rail where twenty years of acid has had it way. Eating it way down the rial and into to the new floor that was put in three years a go.So new rail on both side as well as I have managed to damage both sides. God know how I did that ???more rust repairs in the Dog leg. New back struts, new brakes routers, caliper,suspension rubbers all round,etc. That this week list for the big guy.Plus any thing Elise I can afford to do with in the tight bugget restraint that the boss will allow. I am sure that the Big guy will update this as we (he) progress. Bruce (J Leno) yea Quote
dat240z Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Haha. the dude in the pic looks a little like Jay Leno, minus the awesome chin.... Quote
