Glad Sulio got a shot of this car i was meaing to when people weren't hovering around it but ended up forgetting it was a really well set up 510. 8-) -
Great to see this car in person. Jim the owner is a top bloke too :-D -
Great photo this one I think Sulio's Missus took it :-P -
As in no distributor? I saw a Z at the Nationals with it done, it certainly would help with your ignition curve your not limited by weights and advance mechanisms. I've driven Costa's Z before it was really smooth wasn't what i'd call undrivable except at that stage he was running standard brakes and they were not working very well. (Long story), he's since upgraded to Z32 Calipers and he was pretty wrapped about it. I think what affects drivability most is how far you go with port work and your camshaft profile. Your correct Simon's Z at www.240z.id.au is great however not within my budget. I always think that if your gonna do something you do it once and do it properly. I want to see just how good we can build an L28 N/A with tripple carbs and if I'm not happy later I'll build it into a stroker turbo :twisted: . However after the motor is done i'd like to do other things like an LSD , definately body work so i can install my bullet mirrors, a nice set of expensive racing seats . So yeah turbo's are a long way away for me. :evil:

Yeah that would be great Sulio as it will let everyone make plans early. Hopefully ill get my new Tokico's in the next couple of days so she's all fixed up for the next run can't wait :lol: .

I'm the one on the right with fluffy hair. it was a windy day okay 8-) i sure remember it was cold though. First time i met Nigel and Richard good cruise even if the weather was dreadfull. :shock: -
Well first off I've been in a stroker L28 powered Z and it was crazy . Other reasons are for insurance once they hear turbo they go silly. Especially being under 25. The stroker isn't a common build in Australia I wanted to do something different and I couldn't get over how fast it was. I had read years ago about norm's 12 second SU powered Z and though yeah whatever. However after seeing how quick you can build then on SU's alone i was hooked. It might seem expensive but by the time you've bought a decent turbo and ECU + injectors, ignition controller etc.. your basically looking at minimum 8k to build a decent motor. I also think the stroker will be more reliable and not so tempermental. I won't be troubleshooting an EFI set up. Which i am getting better with but I think a carb'd Z can only have so many things go wrong. The SOUND yes it's a key factor a screaming L28 over a wooshing L28 . How much neater your engine bay is , i like the clean polished look of the stroker vs the turbo plumbing etc.. I still might build the L28 Turbo but for now this is enough and it should yield enough power for me to be happy.

Just transferring this information from the old board.
