i still say if you can get hold of a Y40 ( apparently also fitted to Cedric - police version), putting one in just for the sake of it would be a cool experiment. The initial cedric of course morphed into the 260C, which had the L26 So that tells me that, in theory the Y40 would fir into the Z engine bay Surprised that no one in Jap has done one

i think 7 " is the max you can fit into standard guards?

what sort of tyres would go on those?

reasonable condition, with or without tyres couple hanging around the market at the moment, but not the right z offset, 114.3 x 4.5"

any more sources for standard steelies?

now, its easy to be smart in hindsight and marketing and customer segmentation has moved on in the last 50 years or so. this would be the layout that would have worked around the globe, with very little development cost 1. standard L24 - move along, nothing to see, economy version, fast enough to see off the competition of the day eg MGs, Triumphs. I find the 6 cylinder MGC a particularly humorous effort, even for the day 2. mid range - increase to 2.8 fit triple SUs. This would have been within reach of the e-type ( next level competition) 3.A introduce the twin head cam on top of the L28 - which they didn't do until the 80s. More $s 3.B one with the president 4L Y40 v8 197 hp/323 nm - for a beefy premium, this could have been the performance leader. the ex prince 6 was never going to cut the mustard and looking over the blueprints, it looks like an expensive to produce engine. with the v8, this would have been the queen-killer, ballpark with the e-type, mustangs and corvettes For this version, I would add discs at the back and the larger 260-size brake booster. And now would be the time to beef up the shell eg ,longer frame rails, thicker sheetmetal on the rear pillars this is the route that ford have done with the current mustangs, although they only 3 flavours - the 4 cyl, the V8 and the hot V8 So Enzo - #1 is the answer to the oil crisis problem

there are a couple of threads on the benefits of these for a standard L24 with the standard exhaust any facts on what you woul gain if made NO other mods?

weren't these block shared with other nissan cars at the time? like the lauriel? that would explain some of the gaps

added strip photo

that's a 4 hour trip, both ways

that's the only ones i know friend of mine regularly does drives to marysville in his ford focus rs- reckons its the best stretch of driving road. period.

Not sure this is the right place for this post, but I'm also in the Vintage Jap motorcycle club and they regularly organise club rides. While some are 1/2 day affairs, there's been a couple that were short and sweet. I was thinking surely we can get together 1/2 a dozen cars and do the mordialloc/port melbourne run, wrapping up with some fish & chips? I saw some homies in mustangs do just that today

Been driving the z for a couple of weeks and still reckon they're undervalued, even with the latest price rises The main reason for that I think is that it has aged much better then most 70s cars. Other then the E-type, Ferrari (not all), its pretty slim pickings. Lotus specfically went thru a tragic patch around that time Once you add the performance and the reliability factor, what;s there not to like? If I was the Nissan product development at the time, I would have defintitely upped the capacity to 3 litres, added one more carb and it would have been in striking distance of the e-type But then it would have been more expensive and not such a huge hit

set of 240z door interior panels/cards - poor condition, but can use for a pattern to make a replacement - FREE 3 headlight scoops/cones. 1 matching pair , one of which is sandblasted ,primed and rust free, Others needs work, but fixable. $150 for the lot REPCO brand battery.fits all Zs never installed. i got a larger size instead $50 Front window chrome, no corners, but has the centre connector, average conditions

did a couple of brackets for me. all great work

there's a place in melb that fixes and test these

couple of threads on this in the fourm whatcha got?

FSM has a number of diagrams, including all the pinouts. i think aus one matches the euro spec ( the one without the hazard lights) there's a link somewhere on the forum 4 relays all up in 71 - see my thread on this - I have a '71

what? is that some sort of left handed screwdriver talk?

thanks, will give it try tonite

got a new one of these from Nissan US and its on super-tight. can't pull it off i think its held on by a wire hoop and a matching radial groove i have read how fragile these and don;t want to rip it. any ideas?

my car is missing the jack and the wheel brace from what i can tell the only special bit is the 2 -piece handle, otherwise the same as this http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/Product/SCA-Scissor-Jack-1000kg/362693?utm_source=shop_search&utm_medium=search_results&utm_campaign=g_shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxoCI7aDY1wIV1BwrCh0cYgD5EAQYBSABEgJHcPD_BwE does anyone know which other jap jacks are compatible?

easy to pull out. mine was encrusted in some petrol by product. cleaned up with some acetone

got a set for the windscreen, less corners

This much for one of the world's crappiest cars? https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/carss-park/cars-vans-utes/1963-triumph-spitfire-mark-1-red-manual-convertible/1163139792?utm_source=criteo&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=LF-cars Its a ser I, which is a Triumph Herald in drag Surely any 2 seat Z has to be worth triple the $s Also, even 4 door 60s Alfa are propping up for over 20
