    Having a converted a 240K from Auto to Manual, compared to Z's they are nothing alike.

    Stroker?

    C.A.R. replied to mick260's topic in Engine

    So that's a standard L28 crankshaft. I'm betting you've bought an engine with a standard L28 crank & you've measured the stroke incorrectly (which is easy to do). Can you take a photo of the con-rods just to make sure?

    P30 is stamped on production cranks - look for V0740 cast into it to confirm it's a LD28 crank. Look here to determine what you have: http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/7281-l6-crankshaft-id/ What sort of con-rods has it got in it? Custom items? The reason I ask, is that a standard stroke crank can be offset ground to increase it's stroke, but it would need different con-rods.

    Hi Andrew, when are you fitting the exhaust?

    Very cleaver tool Gav - well done! Dare I ask mate, but how does one access 'archived' photos on the carsales server?

    Hahahahahaha!...

    You'll probably have to charge more than that Gordon. Whatever the format & cost, I'm interested in a copy.
  9. C.A.R.
    Gordon, I suggest you look into publishing it as an internet 'E-Book'. You could still charge an amount for it, but you would not have the same costings associated with publishing a print version. Another suggestion would be to publish an e-book in large chapters - lesser cost for the purchaser up front, you can write sections / chapters & release them at your own pace.

    Media blasting should cost between $1500 to $2000 (incl. panels). Get it primed in PPG Epoxy Urethane - regular primer isn't durable long term especially if you intend to drive it. http://platinumpaints.com.au/car-paint/paints/2k-system/ppg-blue-black-d-g-3-5lt-detail

    Ahhh you used the 'small port' manifold - I remember having relieve that post to clear the thermostat on a customers Z. The Harada 'Big Port' doesn't have that problem. The top linkage arms are fine in use on the carb drop links, but you have to replace the one of the firewall with an EFi Hardware item, because - as you say - the supplied one doesn't have enough purchase on the rod, causing it to slip.
  12. C.A.R.
    Since you've come this far Andrew, I suggest you strip it to a bare shell, mount it on a rotisserie & have it media blasted. That way you'll find EVERYTHING that needs repairing.
  13. C.A.R.
    Well that sucks! It bolts straight in, in a 240Z fan housing.
  14. C.A.R.
    Which manifold one are you referring to Jason?

    I didn't know Malcolm Douglas & Peter Hall had come back from the dead for this event?!?!

    My 16" Simmons are off my Z atm Alex - you're welcome to borrow them if you like.

    Try these guys: http://courierquotes.com.au/ I recently had a head shipped from WA & the seller used that service. Freight price was very reasonable.

    I have one here with the downpipe / secondary pipe to suit. Free to good home - pick-up or you just cover the postage.

    Utter bollocks. It's got more to do with the contraction of the pressure plate & friction plate Vs how much it wears. Also yours is used mostly in competition, correct Richard? Bit of a different kettle of fish... For the 'L33' I just sold, it had Jim Berry build a 240mm 2600lbs pressure plate with a organic race '6 spring' friction plate. Les has used these before & apparently they are only marginally heavier than a HD unit. For the new build, Jim has somehow managed to acquire a magnesium Ferrari pressure plate...

    If you go to Bursons, you can get a new one from Kilkenny Mill - they aren't pretty, but are cheap & will do the job.

    From Gav, myself & whoever else helps run this mine of Z information that is AUSZCAR, we wish you all a festive Christmas and a safe & happy new year If you are out on the roads these holidays please drive carefully - remember it's not you, but every other d*ckhead out on the roads you need to watch out for...!

    I was really hoping that it would fit perfectly without needing modification
