Ok so last week my 260z developed a crunch at low speed from second to first, it has now developed it up/down into third. SO loos like i have an issue, when hot you can hear the rumble of main bearings. So, what should i try first. Re-bleed the clutch as i change the slave some time ago Try some redline or automatic tranny fluid Then do a rebuild. Question is, how do i identify what tranny i have. The engine is an l28 and all i know in my 2+2 i can do like 55 in first about 100 in second before i even get into third. Is there a way to identify the gearbox. I found these guys who do ridiculously cheep kits http://www.americanpowertrainwarehouse.com/nissan-datsun-manual-transmissions/ So help please

you will find that if you can smell fuel its likely to be lower rpm running, at high rpm its hard to tell mixtures. I have the old BAX i would be happy to send for you to test, i think they arnt best shape but wouldgive you a good indication.

Hi Mate, if you find one can you ask for two, i have been looking to no avail

yeah but i dont know stock size i think its 14x5.5 14 offset so with a 15x6 at 24 its nearly identical

Assuming at +24 it would sit in more into the guard then stock?

OK ONE MORE TIME 15x6 performance superlites with a +24 offset, assuming yes but no dish?

Yeah the 17 thing is bugging me, i was after 15s

Another shit up hill question http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/bedford/wheels-tyres-rims/rota-rb-r-17x8-5-4-4x114-3/1076762150 i say no hope in hell?

I think if it was way out cam wise, then it wouldn't run like it does, its a unbelievably tractable engine, i mean even in 5th is just pulllllsssss

You and me both, never had a car that needed this, mind you if the cam is stupid spec then perhaps it would be part of the explanation.

Well i now run 25 deg and it goes even harder. Mechanical advance appears to be working, although i will check again tonight as i don't think i tested it with vac advance off. I have not had a chance to time in the cam, i guess over all until i do more investigation, i basically will run it as is and have a look into timing in the cam etc. I don't particularly think its the dizzy as i had a dizzy in it from an L24E and it exhibited the same issues. All other items like buttons slop in shaft ex are like brand new.

Well that is why I did a tdc test. I tdc the piston and the balancer and the marks all lined up to zero including the dizzy, crank, piston and markers??

Do you have the companion shafts to suit?

Well i just worried something is going to go BANG in a big way, bit DAM its nice, so strong with the new ignition, and the adaptive dwell control, YES PELASE

Ok So in previous posts i had a bit of a miss issues, resolved it twice, then decided to go to electronic points. Now the fun part, at the old timing setting 17 deg idle, no vac, the car wouldn't run well with electronic points. I have readjusted it, and it now sits at 23 deg idle no vac, and goes like a scalded cat, and i mean nasty. Unless i am totally deaf, no pinging or detonation. I have checked TDC and the lot, all lines up on marks etc.

this should help http://datsunzgarage.com/engine/

Wtf I miss out again stuff it

I win, my z has an original 1976 badly cracked and no use spare in the boot but its beaten by the 120Y which has is original spare tire dated 1973.... Ok where my prize.

Found this and i think it could be a sticky, it indicates all the different curves etc for Datsun dizzies. http://newprotest.org/projects/510/dizzy_specs.htm

Thought so, dam it have some sweet rims cheep. Buggerrrit

OK so one more question. 15x9 with -4, will they fit without cutting and flares? Or am i pushing shit up hill?

Do a search for my name under introductions. My 2+2 is painted one shade off British racing green and looks very nice.

Why doe it need to become a d++++++k swinging contest. LOL

As i said, i think i have some, not sure on condition will need to go to the farm to rape and pillage the old car. you can get just the clear indicators http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-240z-260z-clear-front-turn-signals-parking-lights-lenses-smoke-amber-/151568511040?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3A260Z&hash=item234a2ff040&vxp=mtr Black dragon Z is also good http://www.blackdragonauto.com/icatalog/ZR/full.aspx?page=62
