Steve's got himself a Z32. https://www.facebook.com/revvmatch/videos/715395905324074/ Youtube channel here. https://www.youtube.com/user/PlanetStivva

I have 12... but they are almost impossible to find now... How long are FJ20 rods?

Let us know how you get on, I've only read the thread but not attempted it yet myself. I've found my fuel pump (on the 72 240z) to have Atsugi on it instead. It seems to keep up with the Triple Mikuni's fine. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/50679-rebuilding-the-nikki-fuel-pump/?do=findComment&comment=509423 I have to check the others I have though!

#958 was previously wearing a black vinyl wrap. Sold or year or so ago and has already changed hands a couple of times between. Last time it was for sale asking price was about $19k if I recall correctly.

This page could be useful for those looking at replicating works parts. http://acqua-garage.com/NISSAN/Meter/index.html

If retaining the original pump is important look at this. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/50679-rebuilding-the-nikki-fuel-pump/

Might be a better option for you! http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/14558-the-ebay-thread-2-post-ebay-parts-here/?p=200260

True, but the only reason they run SU's is because they have to. If they could run Triples without limitation, they wouldn't even bother with the SU's.

SU's... VS Weber 40's (too small).. Pulled from Youtube Description.

Cheap L28 running for sale. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nissan-mq-patrol-280zx-260z-240z-280c-240k-skyline-l28-6-cyl-engine-hear-running/302601970061 Probably want to change cam specs though!

LOL still debating the length of that string... My L28 (standard bottom end) has an early E88 head (72 240z) with N42 size valves, some port work (no idea how well it was done, no CFM figures etc..) and mild cam (specs unknown), it has electronic ignition, lighter flywheel and flat top pistons (so we're guessing around 9 or 10:1 comp ratio). It was previously running twin SUs (unknown needle sizes) and would feel flat after 4000 rpm. It's possible it was not fueling enough for the L28 and part of the problem. Switching to Triple 44's (haven't even checked jetting) but guy I got them from on eBay over 10 years ago told me they were set up for his L28 (stock), as mentioned has transformed the car, the way it drives, it's progression (thanks to accelerator pump) and top end power (spins to 7000 rpm without question), it feels significantly quicker than before and sounds 100x better. I would NOT switch back to the SUs, the car drives night and day different to before. The previous owner had Triple Dellorto's on the car before he sold it (not sure on size), but I am guessing my engine was never intended to run on twin SUs (by whomever built it), and putting the 44's back on has uncorked it. We still haven't tuned the Triples yet, and the ignition curve could be improved but it just drives so much better now than before. (Other changes also made include close ratio gearbox and exhaust system change). But by far the biggest factor to the way the car behaves now is the installation of Triples and I would never willingly go back to SU's. I know they can be made to perform, but they are a far simpler design (which is a good thing), but Mikuni/Solex are more sophisticated but the pump jet (accelerate pump) set up is brilliant in terms of progression etc.. and the tune-ability is far better with Triples. There is a reason they were a Sports Option catalog (option), they are just better... but you can only really judge that when driving a car with SUs and then comparing with Triples. We can debate HP all day, but each engine set up is different (as I tried to convey above with my own set up) and therefore gains in power will vary depending on what you're doing..Like I originally said you can't provide a figure easily as each car will be different. Thing is when doing engine mods at some point the SU's are going to be a restriction and limitation. In cars I've driven above 5,500 rpm it starts to get flat and they run out of breath. At some point we will get mine on a dyno to tune and I'll be able to give HP figures. There is a tiny flat spot at 4,000 or so rpm which I think is because we haven't done fine tuning of jetting in the Mikuni's etc..

I'm interested in p90 head will send PM.

HLS30 cracked $100k USD..(not the first, but worth pointing out). http://bhauction.jp/search/lot15.html HLS30 05811 Google Translate.. Price estimate: 8.5k - 10k yen. Sold for $107k USD This appears to be 1 of the Nissan North America restoration program cars from the 1996/1997 years...

Yeah that's great, I was thinking of doing similar but only thing I'd change is some white letters on the tyre walls like "DUNLOP" or "GOOD YEAR" for that old school racer look.

It's a Fairlady Z-L from what I can tell. 75 model with L20A. I believe the MCM boys have an RB26 in the garage..

It will take 2-3 months I'm afraid via sea. Unfortunately not many local options. A skilled panel beater could hand form them however.

If we can get a group buy together then it can be shipped via sea for significantly less. As in probably closer to $40 a piece. But there is also likely some taxes on this end.

Tabco in the US of A sells wheel houses and fender sections. Can be an issue getting them to ship outside of North American though!

Looks like an August 75 onwards part no..

I've got a few nobody wanted them when I listed them. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/15266-260z-fender-badges-nla/

It might be the same as a 240z 1. The part no. is stamped on it. Can you tell me what it is? I'll check parts manual.

I can't recall seeing this style rim on AU market s130s, I do recall the Iron Cross wheels, but not these or the snowflake ones. I could be wrong though of course.

HS30 00365 is back for sale. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/Datsun-240Z-1970/SSE-AD-5184814?ret=search-alert&utm_source=internal-carsales-notification-centre-search-alert&utm_medium=email

Damn didn't get a chance to save the photos or look up potential chassis id.
