Unless you know EXACTLY where to start, and what angle, you can kss the 152's goodbye These Spanish made ones, then changed to the 152G, due to the "feedback" they got Experienced tuner shops will tell you to get the better ones! Jason89, your 40's, are they the 152's? If nt, they should have progression holes in right place, standard!

I dont get how Donut King Tony gets away with that Pink Z, at Historic meetings! He missed out buying the 280Z by a week!

Facebook search Jack Monkhouse, he may be able to backload? Or, ring James Flett at MIA Engines Dee Why Sydney, they use a bloke in Sydney that ranges up/down East Coast, very professional service, transports non-runners/race cars and some very nice mscle cars!

In the wet, its often wiser to NOT be on the "racing line"!loved the mve on Morgan, into 5 on lap 1! Be fun if every race was wet, the Z doesn't mind a bit of oppy locky! ( unlike the Germans,,,,) Yes the brakes drove me nuts as well, often! Pete Lang would lose pedal into T4, i'd lose it into T2. T1 is just more a "settling" dab

ots un-settling when it does that. Second pump would give half height redal, around 5-6 laps.These cars need a brake solution. They are a "workplace" and assuch should be safe for the requirements they are now being subjected to, which is far above the original engineering requirement when they were built new. Porsche -over-engineered, greater margins Datsun basic engineered, meeting basic requirements.

I can recall, as a youngster, my father, and my uncles, having quite a few USA left hand drive cars, including Pontiac GTO, Buick Skylark, Caddy Eldorado, Mustamgs, AMC-AMX, Corvettes, all had the blueish tint to windows along with the blue fading top of windscreen band. Must be a USA thing!

$1100 a set, located Brisbane North.

Third outright in Race 1 today!

15x9" in Neg 13 ffset, with 225/50x15" rubber, will give you better sidewall height, and better ride comfort, than say 16-17" rims with uptra low sidewalls. I have three sets of new in box Watanabe reps, in above size, that will ft under a ZX!

You go tell them that,,,,,,,!

Little birdie tells me she's upped the horsepower a bit! From 214 neddies to 245 + neddies, at the donuts! And its all through just a single factory stock throttle body! Ppffttt, who needs triples!

If that one you have, has had a bit of a rework, it may be an idea to run it up on a dummy assembled engine, just needs no 1 piston fitted, and chamber no 1 valves fitted, a degree wheel, and check its opn/closing angles at 50 though valve lift, and total lift. OR, send it off to a shop that has a cam profiling machine, to let you know what it is. Save ruining something, if its already good, with a fresh re-grind! Use a known stock cam, they can easily take a 68 to 72 deg type re-grind, and depending on how much valve seats have been sunk in, slightly thicker lash pads will have it setup nicely.

Nnnoooooo! Never!

You put different height tyres on! Screw up the sleeve, that'll lift it With your car, it aint gonna be critical

Got any other numbers on it? Nissan markings? ( could be a billet!)

A bit of a surface grind and Letter/Number stamps can come in handy!

Have seen far less rusty cars come back from restoration/repair shops, with bills of $25-30k, As bare shells, stripped, on dollies, finshed in topcoat. Yours would have to be well North of that figure.

They are a bit different! When you are chasing it, starting with the better base, then working it from there, is the way to go. The port runners, on all manfolds, flow unequal cfm, and vary widely, front to rear. Trick s to get them all with increased flow, and as close to equal cfm as possible. It can be done. Simple fix to TB, replace with a particular Ford TB. Also interrupting/corruting signals back to ecu, and fitting larger cc injectors, gets them working better!

Picture of its ID plate? Ex rally, or race car? Does it have the original CAMS logbooks with it? History of events competed in? ( in the logbook) If so, then it might be worth something, to the right buyer

Got plenty of orginal cams, suitable for re-profiling. $90 per

The factory built 260Z's also had the 7" wide rims fitted. These were for the European and South African markets. They were also a authourised Nissan dealer fitment, on new cars, that were registered for road use, not circuit racing specials.

Nah!Waffle heat shielding will fix that. The plug sockets look to be on a longish lead, bring them out to under the airfilter over to inner fender. Assuming the leads have a decent heat proof cvering, they'll be fine.

assuming hard mounted onto intake mani, they shouldnt go out of balance. Should'nt be too hard to bore them out, and turn bigger diam butterfly plates!

The big NISSAN ones are in demand, I recently sold one that was a bit knocked around, bit still OK, for a lot less than the silly Jap pricing!

Most mobile mechs can only handle the basics. It costs too mch to hold the diagnostic gear needed for modern cars. What do you need doing?
