Not sure I haven't really had a close look at it, I was thinking about getting the whole thing to use just as a spare/tow car, but it needs too much work to the body, will have to take a better look I think.

I started this to keep all the parts in one place also, so anyone that has bits from ebay they want to share with others please post here to save having too many threads would you like some beef jerky? thank you, come again Hilux calipers if anyone is looking for some here are some already removed for you http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Toyota-hilux-4runner-CALIPERS-BRAKE-UPGRADE-240Z-260Z_W0QQitemZ110326284254QQihZ001QQcategoryZ42605QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Ok who's up for a cruise this coming Saturday the 27th. It might just be your last chance this year to enjoy your Z in a family free environment where you can truly show your love and appreciation for the only other half that truly means anything to you

So what head would/did the Patrol come out with??

you woos that's still 2 days

It looks like one on the 27th might be a goer Lurch, seems many are regretting not going today so I rekn let's get an EOI

How different is the box?? mounts?? stick positioning?? or just gearing?? GQ is around 80-83 isn't it?? Or was that MQ???

Hey Lurch, we could always do one next Saturday seeing as it will be the last Saturday/weekend for 08, maybe even have a bit of a lunch at one of the local hotels in the area as a "last drinks for 08". Besides it sounds like more cars will be ready by then.

Just curious as to what differences if any there would be with regard to cam profile and spc between the different heads i.e. would an N42 cam be the same as an E88?? Also would a GQ Patrol 5 speed box be better or worse than a 280ZX or the same?? I'm asking because a mate is wrecking a GQ which I already said I want the motor from but it has a 5 speed as well so just wondering if this would be a good grab as well as the engine. As for the head I think I may have hurt a valve in my boredom over the last couple of days (semi retirement sux) but have a spare e88, just wondering if cams are the same as I would like to play around LOL.

Just saw Lurchs edit to his first post, I'm out as I have a few things to do in the morning, I had kind od hoped it might be an arvo run. Well have fun lads and get heaps of pics.

We might need a cameraman so maybe you should come along and take some shots, would be good to get some moving pictures for the history archives.

Dude I still have timing issues with mine anyway so you should be fine LOL, besides isn't yours a 2 seater turbz??

pretty keen ye

sorry hit quote instead of modify

Rev if you've been charged for ti then kindly ask for a refund of that portion of the bill, if they refuse then break there knee caps, I'm free at the moment if you need some help

Thought I'd ressurect this thread mainly as I want to look into sway bar options, so the question is what sway bar are you using if you have replaced yours with a stiffer unit and what did it cost?? Also what options are out their??

Possibly with one of the closed chamber heads, but are you running a larger bore or thinner head gasket or anything else out of the ordinary?? Just did a quick run down on the calculator and all of them except the E31 10.21:1, come in under 10:1 static comp, using the standard crank and rods just with flat top pistons.

Ye it's a good idea, this is what they do on the Ford forums, also though they have a youtube thread where all new links are to be posted.

So this isn't for everyone?? I haven't been to Syd in ages was thinking wow now that's a cruise

Semi retired as of last week dude. What did you need I can refer you to someone.

The rocker cover, inlet manifold and carby tops all look like they've been sprayed with an alloy/aluminium pressure pack paint, sorry but that doesn't say $35K to me.

On my calculator if you keep it all standard with a standard head gasket and bore size your static comp should be around 9.8:1 with a 60' overbore 10.1:1 add a 1mm gasket 10.38:1 with a 120' overbore 10.65:1 120' overbore and standard gasket gives 10.38:1 In fact the e88 and n42 heads give almost the same comp ratios
