Lol you wont beleive this, but the MR2 i now own had at one point a subwoofer in the boot... With an entire engine between it and you... :/

Yeah, I'm out. This has gotten to ridiculous. I may have written a couple of little errors, but those ones i did put a (?) mark next to because i wasn't 100% sure. I was just wanting to share around some of the work i guess.

These two could probably look pretty nice in a Z... Not 100% sure about fitment. http://b2b.eonon.com/details.aspx?pro_id=1557&product_no=G1311A http://www.pioneer.com.au/au/products/25/109/281/AVH-X7550BT/page.html

Good clarification Dimitri. This is the guy to listen to.

Lolz, yes i did.

You wanna see a couple do it in a Datsun? There's a word for that...

I know this is pretty basic and it doesn't 100% reflect all carbs, but i liked this video and thought it may be helpful for others who know very little about carbs (I'm sure not many on this forum ). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMAKyTvjqaQ

Sweet, I'll take em. Rebuilding them sounds like fun, I'll have to get other peoples opinions on re-jetting though. Mikey, if i don't see you on the weekend we'll arrange something else yeah?

I want the "Do it in a Datsun" one

Any potential problems fitting the manni up to the L28 I have (round / square ports? Or is that only on exhaust? ??)

Exactly my thinking. I will more than likely go ahead with this idea in the near future. If its too enrageing for you to reply, you really don't need to. Six shooter had me 100% covered and now the information is out There for others to view as well.

Whaaa what did I post thats wrong? I was completely telling him that there's very little reason not to go L28...

Sounds great, otherwise I'm happy to come pick up. I just want to get the go ahead or not from Lurch. I have very limited knowledge on carbs, so I'll take all the advice from those in the know. Otherwise I'll rock up this weekend with the cash.

completely agree cozza.

Interested. Are you going to be at the get together on the weekend? Otherwise, where are you located? I'm in the north east subs! (PM me with this if you don't want your info here) Lurch, these the sorta things you were talking about?

Just as a bit of an indicator, this is the sort of look I'm going for; http://www.speedhunters.com/2012/05/old-meets-new-rocky-autos-rb30-powered-fairlady-z/ The rims on these are the ones i like Volk TE37V. Shame they cost an arm and a leg, and perhaps another leg... It's a shame that its so expensive to get a vinyl wrap like the rocky auto one. Perhaps one day when my car has a little less of its soon to be put on paint on it I may opt for it. I guess by then it will be a standard practice for production cars even!

Acf321, surely you paid at least 10k to get that sort of power out of the L24...

Yeah, I thiiiiiiiink i have the earlier style (I'll have to go check the car when i can).

What the hell!??!? you serious!? What a strange world.

I'm a bit confused as to what is exactly in the wheel wells but its pretty think and slightly spongey. You think the blasters should be able to take that out pretty easy? Oh and do i need to remove all the fiberglass in the car? (I want it blasted gone ) There are heaps of little hidden spots of it so does it matter if i miss some?

Interested... I have the early 260z. Would this have the same pattern as the 240?

Hey guys, just a little update. I added a 3mm 50x50 square section to the rotiss, and added a little more boltage to the rotation plate (i was only using 2 bolts each end, now 4) and the car is heaps more sturdy. I have also now taken 99.99% of the parts off the car (with the odd bolt and clip remaining). It feels as though the car would only weigh a couple of hundred kilo's now!!! All that's left to do before the strippers take it away (I propbably should have said blasters) is remove the last few bits of body deadener from the inside of the car and the POR15 like stuff in the wheel wells. IM ALMOST THERE!!!

Yeah whoops, i did forget to mention the part that i bought my car half an hour after seeing it for the first time online. I wasn't even looking to buy one! This happened for me at the ripe old age of 20, while still at uni . If the passion is truly there then it's barely a question worth asking. Holy crap! rear ended 6 times!?!? How damn good are the brakes on that thing!??!

I think all of those comparisons are ridiculously biased... comparing a van to a semi sports car and a harley to a sports bike... The engine needs to have more tourque for these two because they weigh so much and have very little need for high RPM power. You can rev the crap out of an L28 if you wanna chuck a crazy cam in there... Cams are pretty cheap. I think its just a bit misleading to say that the L24 is superior simply because it revs higher. By this merit a rotary is the best engine in the world. Most people like hp and torque. I am in the middle and like hp. I really cant stand Falcodores and the like. They weigh a ton so they have limited handling characteristics, BUT they would be a ton of fun to drive simply for the power. 240's and 260's weigh near on nothing compared to cars these days and yeah, you're going to add a little more weight to the car putting in a L24, but surely it wouldn't be more than 30kg? I've heard people complain that a car might have heaps of power but it has no torque so its not so great for the streets, which i can understand, each to their own. I'd prefer more power over ease of driving. But to prefer more RPM over power is a rather unusual bias. I get it high RPM's are fun, i have an MR2 that makes diddely squat under 3k, has peak torque at 5k and max power just over 7k. Hell yeah I'd prefer this over a similar 2L engine that put out the same power at a lower rpm, but trading rpm for more power just makes sense. (When it doesn't add a ton of weight)

Just what I was thinking. Perhaps just make this a sticky? It also shows other people the amount of times The same question gets asked, and noone sticks around for the answer.
