I'll see what I can do to find the gears and if worse case we'll disassemble one and get the gears that way. I'll let you know the progress.

Is there a difference on the taillights? I think I'd have to modify the rear bulkhead to fit the different taillight assemblies. I will be glad to see if I can help on the diff. Now what I quoted is the entire hogshead/pumpkin/diff- I can see about finding the gears seperate if you or you know somebody that can put one together properly. You let me know which route you want to take. I also own a 1971 1600 wagon that I would be interested in taillights for along with any other items that were different between the Aust and US cars. As for the 200sx- yeah I think it is S13- 1984-1988? the ones here that were turbo cars came with 3.90 in the manual cars and the automatic had the 4.11 in 85 and I think 86- but the regular 200sx N/A had a 4.11 R180 diff in it if you can use the R180. Either way, you're lookinf at approx $200 Usd.

I'll hit two responses on here at the same time- (1) My Z is at the paint shop as we speak so as soon as it's back together, I'll share the aftermath of my blood sweat tears and several choice words along the way. (2) As for the R200 4.11 mine came out of a 85 200sx turbo with A/T Was it called a Silvia there? I paid $200 USD for mine. That's the going rate when you can find them here used. Are you willing to go used? I'll see if the one I know of is still available.

I was just reading this post and thought I might be able to help with info, etc on the 3.1 stroker motor. The way most are done here that I'm aware of is to source the parts used if possible. First is the diesel crank out of (in the US) diesel 810 and 910 Maxima both used a converted L24 block/head- not sure you had the diesels there or not; next is the 9mm conn rods from _/72- 73 240Z's (US) then the usual piston used is from the KA24E 4cyl 200sx/240sx/pickup/? in the us, the used cranks go for about 200-250.00, 100.00 for the 9mm rods; I was able to buy new pistons and ringsets (will need 2 sets of rings) from my dealer for 400+/- Nissan USA wants 1200.00 for the crank!!!! the 3.1 kit sells for 1800.00 here. Hope that sheds a little light on the subject. I've seen dyno sheets for anywhere from 150- 350 Hp on pump fuel, guess it would depend on the headwork, cam, etc.

I don't have an extra 4.11, but think I know where there is one. I can look into for you. Shipping would be a bugger, no? Be glad to help if I can.

Hello. I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself to the fellow zedders on here. I live on the east coast side of the united states in the state of north carolina. I am 35 years old and have owned two Z's so far. I have also owned at best count 9 510's/ 1600/ bluebirds and one 67.5 1600 fairlady. As for the Z's the first one I bought and currently still own/ will always own is a 1972 240Z US version- The car was originally owned by a Datsun/Nissan racer by the name of Jim Fitzgerald. He was teammates and best friend to Paul Newman at Bob Sharp Racing. This 240 was his street "toy". I have heard stories of engines run and blown up in this car just to be replaced with another. It is simply dressed with BRE style front and rear spoilers and had "Libra" 14x5.5 4-spoke wheels on it. I have since sourced a set of the magnesium 14x7 "LeMans" wheels which were used on the BRE Z's in the 70's. I have also purchased a set of Minilites which was fitzys' choice of wheel on his racecars. Drivetrain is stock L28 with '72 SU carbs, Comp header, 2.5" exhaust electronic ignition 5spd tranny R200 4.11 diff 4-wheel disc brakes Comp european springs with KYB struts. I have done more than a fair share of body work to get the body back in shape. The car has been converted to a black interior to match a set of Recaro seats. The car also has the euro style bumpers with shaved emblems, side lights, etc. I have parted out a couple of various s30 cars over the years to better what I had in most cases, so if you are looking for parts/spares for a s30, keep me in mind- willing to ship, willing to trade for non-us items, memorbillia etc. Looking for taillights w/ amber lenses (see ads) Thanks for your time and interest. Jim oh yeah, the other z was a 81 ZXT.

I have seen that they making repros now, but I'd prefer the real thing if I can find them. BTW- has anybody ever taken apart a taillight on a 240Z? I'm afraid I would break the moulding piece or worse the casing! If it's been done, let me know what you did. Thanks

I'm really interested in putting the amber taillights on my 72 240Z. I have a good amount of 240 spare parts here in the US I would be willing to trade/? for a set of taillights. Any help would be appreciated. jve871@yahoo.com
