[herrods]

Hey all

 

I have a 1979 L28 motor and 5spd gearbox for sale as I am converting my 260z to somrhting a little.... less neaturally aspirated

 

Details:

1979 L28 motor

- Motor was built 10,000km before I bought the car, and has done about 30,000 total now.

- Serviced every 5000km driven probably 3 days a week.

 

1979 Closer ratio gearbox (how it was described to me).

I'm no too sure on the details of this but I will grab the numbers off the side of the box when I get it up in the air.

 

 

AT THE MOMENT:  The car is still running and still being driven, which will continue for the next 2-3 weeks, so if you want to come have a look/drive it working in a car, then you are most welcome

 

$2500 for the lot, Dont want to split it up.

 

 

Contant me here or via PM for more details or with any questions

[C.A.R.]

What's your exact location, Herrods?

 

[Zedman240®]

Would you be interested in selling the gearbox on it's own?

I must apologise profusely.

 

There has been a massive response to this engine/gearbox package, and I couldn;t figure out why.

 

I made a typo, and a fairly consequential one at that.

 

The price to be put there was supposed to be $2500, which has since been edited.

 

ONO of course, sorry to lead you all down the garden path.

 

As I said it is driving, and I have reciepts for all the work with parts reciepts too, will go thru and find everything specific and post tonight

 

0425 387 633 - Please CALL if you have any firther questions or wld like to talk about it

 

Cheers

Hi there I see from your early posts that you installed and short throw shifer..

You say it's an option box  Can you explain this..

 

Also the Forged internals can you go into my detail..

 

                                  Sir ricer

 

 

[herrods]

In answer to your question Sir Ricer, I did say that I was going to pourchase a short throw, but never ended up going through with it.

 

As far as everyones questions about my "option" box, what I was referring to was that it was not standard, which is reflected in the specifics below.  I was not aware that there was a box made once called an option box, and apologise if I mislead you

 

Anyone who called me, if you are still interested please call me again, I had an unfortunate "phone meets water" episode last week on my trip away.

 

PICS TO COME ASAP!

ALL OF THE ABOVE INFO WAS TAKEN FROM RECIEPTS AND PAPERS PROVIDED WITH THE CAR UPON PURCHASE

[Sir Ricer]

- 6B1171-STD    ACL conrods          = std conrod bearings

- 6KRY2700        ACL L28 Piston kit  = std cast pistons (dished)

- 7M1172-STD    ACL main bearing    = std main bearings

 

Mate this is just a STD rebuild useing std off the shelf parts..

[C.A.R.]

Yeah I agree with the goof, above.

 

Sorry Herrods - it's a stock L28.

Without more in-depth details, it's too hard to tell whats actually been done to the engine though.

The gearbox also reads as a S1 280ZX - not 'factory close ratio' at all (unless I'm mistaken?).

 

HOWEVER, 2.5k for a rebuilt L28 & gearbox is still a very reasonable price

Rebuilt 30,000 km's ago.....Maybe the first post at $1,500 is more like it.

I'll keep looking

[C.A.R.]

That's only just run in!

[zr240]

I think the admin needs to edit this add title as it is clearly not a close ratio or option 1 box

 

Its the std 240z ratios. Its is a good box to have as they are better than the later 280zx boxes (as far a ratios go, not as strong though)

 

The option 1 close ratio box was:

2.8

1.97

1.47

1.192

1 to 1 5th

 

Still as lurch says as a complete setup its not a bad buy. to get a std 240z box recond and get the syncos its not cheap

I was going to say it sounds like the ratios of a standard 260Z gearbox with the 2.9 first. 280ZX had the 3.2 first. But agree, good price if your engine/gbox is rooted and you need a replacement.

You guys are correct - I got confused with what gearbox had which 1st gear...

Sir Ricer, although I dont know much, I would keep your pricing opinions to yourself, thanks for the clarification on parts numbers though
