Hey Mark, I have a set of 240z 51mm struts with hubs and discs. I'm searching for a set of 260 55mm bare struts, I'd be happy to swap if you have any?

Nice read Seems like you got quite a few bits from the late DL Potters wife on ebay? I got one of the water restrictors for tstat housing, works a treat the temp never moves even at the track!

Any more news on the sizes and offsets for the RKR's? The sizes seem to vary for different countries. Also the Kyusha's? They look hawt

Hey mate, someone beat you to it via PM sorry. It's a 4070 too I listed it wrong, whoops So, pump sold pending payment.

More pics

Hey guys I'm clearing out more bits that I have had for a while but don't need, I have the following..... 1) Carter rotary fuel pump used once for 15mins has been sealed and boxed ever since, has all fittings. $60 SOLD 2) Brand new Full Stainless bullet mirror. $50 3) Brand new 240z rear quarter badges. $50 4) Brand new trans mount. $50 5) *Brand new NISSAN diff mount $50* SOLD Will post at cost.

Numbers look good Roberto. I use a filter before the pump and near the carbs too. Does the back pressure from the filter after the pump reduce the chances of it cavitating?

Hey Mossy, can you fit the vents without cutting the holes? The cars aren't very air tight at all so it shouldn't pressurize when closing doors, it's also less chance of rusting out the hatch down the track.

Had a play with the welder yesterday, decided to seam weld the trans mount, add extra plating and fit poly bushings. The spare 240z diff mount (double cut out) was starting to separate in a few spots so that got the treatment too. Good news is my welding is getting better I also removed the old 260 mount with the solid diff mount, its served me well but was very noisey and I wa always a little worried about the billet aluminium failing. I replaced it with the technoversions diff mount and energy suspension poly bush..... Wow what a mission it was, it seemed to be a little too big for the trans tunnel as it required a lot of tapping (beating) to get the driveline properly aligned. I also had to pull most of the rear suspension apart to do it, I hope it's worth the huge effort and I'm looking foward to more induction/exhaust noise

Whoa, what a pita these are to fit!!! Have to be one of the hardest upgrades I've done, it better be worth it

I'm using my 6AL-2 for the bigger spark and the in built rev limiter, there's also a launch control function but I haven't connected that. I trigger it with a rebuilt scorcher dizzy (magnetic pickup). The tach I first used was from a 77 260 2+2 gap import and only had a brass bullet terminal for the coil trigger wire, this is the same tach I rebuilt to suit 10,000rpm and now runs straight to the msd tach (grey). If you connect anything to the coil it will be fried by the higher voltage the msd uses.

Merry Christmas to one and all, have a happy and safe holiday. Best wishes, Gareth.

260z tach will work I've used one on my car with the 6AL-2, worked fine. 240z tachs have the inductive loop. Get one Simon, the rev limiter is very good. I've buzzed mine a few times at 7200

I run the 6AL-2 and it worked without the adaptor on my autometer tach and also on my rebuilt 10,000rpm Datsun tach, should be fine.

Wow 255's thats huge Craig, you must be loving the power steering! I could be wrong with Gordo's size it's been a while since I had a look. What size/offset do you run and what are these special mods you talk of?

Thanks D, your the guru of all things Z

I run 16x8 +0 offset with 225/60's on my 240z, the guards have had the lips rolled. I know Gordon runs 245's all round on his 240 track car, not sure of the wheel specs though but he does have coil overs.

That will be a great Xmas present for the owner, perhaps you should deliver it in a Santa suit

Just looking for the correct type and size of screws used in the turn signal lenses on a 240z. The curved ones on the front lower corner of the car. I have new lenses but no screws to hold them on

At $800 a set it's a different story. If you could get a group discount then it's no contest, go SWM. And I thought Nissan Aus were hard to deal with....

I should clarified, the secondaries and merge looks a little rough IMO... But, the dyno results say everything when it come to headers. These are proven to work I thought they were $1660? and thats just mild steel on top of that you have ceramic coating at $300 approx, Thats where the Nismo headers become very attractive if you have the patience, you'll need it!

The Nissan merge collectors look much nicer to me, swr ones look like any regular cone from an exhaust shop, just my opinion and I have no idea with all this stuff I'd keep trying with Nissan it is Christmas too, so everyone is in slow mode.

Eeeeew that looks a lot more ugly than it did from the outside. Lucky the weld wizard is on to it Can't remember if I asked but can we get rid of the door mirror and weld up the holes? Pretty please....

I find most are posted in peoples build threads. Thats where I put mine

Nice work Scott & Gordon, Now I feel like I was there even if it was only for 8mins Looking foward to next years
