Where you located? If you go onto driftsales nsw on Facebook and make a wtb you'll get one 14 ones are generally more desirable cause they're newer, and come out of adm cars as well so better chance of them being maintained properly. You can pay upto $800 for a 14 box with warranty, I wouldn't pay more than $400 from a random with no warranty. If you wanna do the bearings and its obvious it just one of the bearings on the end of the shafts then that's easy, but when you pull it apart to do the ones in the plate you'll wish you just got a good condition box

I invented drift in 2006, don't know what you guys were doing

Yep, after over 50 silvias I need a change. Trying to get reg before Christmas, probs won't make it This forum is pretty good, like snsw, few old cranky farts that know stuff, you'd fit right in

Tmb from snsw?

Bump Still need these

Good read here(probably old news) http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/74718-new-dyno-numbers/ Dude's making 230whp(~170kw) with L24 1mm overbore, seems high but pretty serious head/intake/clutch

It will see high revs, I do a lot of driving. It will make it a faster car if it revs higher, and again, sounds sweet. Maybe I'll buy the gear; triples, ignition, decent extractors and run it on a cheap L28 and see how I feel about it, if I'm happy with the power/rev range(obviously big cam is going to change it a lot too), and go from there.

Yep pretty impressed with those numbers, gonna stick with the L24 block

At this point in time I don't really plan on ever selling it, I guess I just like the idea of having the original engine in there, feels a little more right. Again, if I'm only gonna get 2.5L out of it, as opposed to 3.0+ with the L28, and the power difference is significant, id definitely consider the L28. I was pretty set on dropping an RB26 in there, could have that in and running for about $3k(mate has running car), and make a million kw, but had a change of heart as its not really what this car's about for me. I want that notorious z roar bouncing off the rockfaces on the twisties in the middle of the night. The car is being kept original, just repainted original colour, stock body, that's why I'm in two minds about the engine. I'm not going for big numbers, it just needs to rev hard, sound good and be fast. I think anything over 120rwkw will be fast enough in a 1 tonne car

Thanks for the info guys I'll have to decide between something similar to acf321's build(maybe look into sleeves/bigger pistons) and stay factory numbers, or build an L28 Will update my build thread when the build starts

As I said, matching number block, so i'd like to try and use it if possible. Some people say you can bore it out to 86mm for L28 pistons with sonic testing, others say 85. I'd like to know how far it would go with sleeves.

Looking to rebuild my matching no. L24, little hard to find reading as most people start with a L28 block(which I may even do if the gains are huge) Currently running L26 with e88 head, mild cam, extractors and 240 carbs. Basically I want to build something that revs hard, 7.5k minimum(mainly for the noise ). Budget isn't a massive factor, around $2k on the bottom end, maybe $5k all up would be nice? Triples and forgies will soak up a bit though -How big can you get the L24 bore with sleeves? -What's the highest CR you can run? -What stroke/bore, cam/CR is gonna rev highest and how high? Thanks, Ryan

After 240 seats, ideally the ones with the winder. Let me know what you have. In syd, but will pay freight. - Ryan

That's so terrible, stealing a new standard car that most likely has insurance and can be replaced easily is one thing, this is very very low. If it were spontaneous its likely someone local to your mate, whether they stole it or called a friend. So it may still be local. I'll put the word out

I remember seeing that for sale, think the old owner was a panel beater What are you going to do with it?

Z32/33 are the same as 25 but usually cheaper Precision 6262 work well, 20psi at 4k, more power than you'll ever be able to use in a 240

Could use manual s13 ca18

Seems kinda silly to have a lhd jap car Although some japs have be importing zeds from the states and keeping them lhd, so I guess that makes it okay

Yeah that'd work, although I just put armor all over it, looks pretty good Some legend sold me the wrong gauges and i cracked the dash in one spot trying to make them fit, very frustrating

Not sure, pretty new to Z's but from all the other stuff that's different I'd assume it is too. I'll shoot you a pm if I find out its the same though Thanks

The question is, do you have them?

Ah I think I have them, there's two bolted to the firewall yeah?

240 is nearing completion, need some final parts - seats with rails - throttle linkages from the pedal, to and including along the firewall. I have from the carbs to the firewall already. Can provide pics - front bar brackets - fender mirrors - window regulators - rear bar in any condition - fan blower Can pickup in sydney or pay postage - Ryan

Yeah I'll probably leave it, be hard as a rock by then though Fitted front lip and starting on bonnet
