my 240z

[kelloggman]

this is my first 240z and it is amazinghahah got alot to do but here it ismy current interior

The future:saving up for the l28et. ive found one that comes with intercooler for $500still debating to try myself or let the z car garage do itnew interior is neededa new coat of paint but its fine for now.couple of spots on the front and hatch with rust bubbles.

super excited let me know what you guys think

[mikeith]

looks like its in really good shape! good luck with your plans... i would do it myself since that swap is pretty much a bolt in upgrade

[evildky]

looks great, nice find!

[NSR_s30]

Nice s30!

[Perrenial Badass]

"Got alot to do"? f*** son, when my 240 looks like that I'll call my project complete.

[hbpignosePA]

i miss my z

even if it was rotted beyond repair.

"Got alot to do"? f*** son, when my 240 looks like that I'll call my project complete.

LOL

I was thinking the same. Great looking car.

[streeteg]

That thing is fresh. Nice whip

[breadbox]

Why can't I find good cond. 240z's?

[mikep1745]

very clean you could always throw an rb25det in there

[kelloggman]

way to much money to spend maybe later down the roadfrom wat ive heard the l28et is a beast ive just have to decide/find onestill debating the n42 block and head or f54/p90 so many choices

[bigred240sx]

perrenial i thought the same thing...thats a nice lookin z you got there.

[noobdrftr]

that Z is beautiful...looks like it just came off the showroom floor was it restored?

[ravera]

F54 block is the stronger block but unless you've got custom pistions the F54/P90 gives you a low compression ratio (7,8 unless you've got the flat top N/a Motor). The N47 head will bump your compression and spool a turbo a little quicker.

As for doing the swap, if you can find/rent an engine picker and have basic wrenches/jacks you can do the swap in a weekend. Hardest part is the wiring and there are plenty of diagrams around here and HybridZ that can show you just how to do it. And when you do it yourself you'll know where everything goes so if you ever get around to wanting it to go even faster, you probably will , you'll already know what to do

[kelloggman]

i bought things in the wrong order.i bought forged pistons without the engine.was planning on buying an engine but the guy posted an engine in a neighboring city but lived in a completely different state. im looking at buying a part car next week for 700 so im hoping it lasts til then

[kelloggman]

quick qhow hard is it to turn an n/a engine 2 turbo

i believe the n42 block is the strongest out of all of them ravera btw

[evildky]

the stronger block it a matter fo debate, the F54 was logn thought to be stronger, but only every other cylinder is siameased, ont he N42 al 6 cylinders are siameased

yes you can turbo the n42, then47 head is garbage, the n42 is the one you want, but you still need lots of partsoil panturbodownpipeoil "T"oil feed lineJ pipeafmharnessecuinjectorsdistributordistributor driveshaft

its' easier and likely cheaper to get a complete donor and if you get a donor you might as well use the whole motor

[kelloggman]

for the afm i can use the maf out off the 1st gen 300zx?i plan on using one of the megasquirt ecu.ive been looking for a nice donor but havent found one yet :'-(

im trying to line up a 280zx w/ a 5spd for 275 and i believe its an n/a evildky you are amazing btw

[evildky]

for megasquirt you don't need an afm. it has n on die map sensor, you can run the maf or afm but it just adds wiring and intake piping

[DORIFUTO_The Future]

Sweet looking Z my friend! Looks like it has been very well looked after or someone has spent alot of time/money/effort on restoring it at one point.

[kelloggman]

dumb question what does egr and non egr meanalso what is a dizzy

[evildky]

EGR= Ehaust Gas Recirculationbasically it's a valve taht under vacume open up and let exhaust gas back into the itnake, to reburn, the theory is that it mroe completely burns for cleaner exhaust, the 1975 model 280z had no EGR valve makign ti a little lighter and less cumbersome and you don't have to worrk about adding an egr port to say an aftermarket header

dizzy=distributor

[kelloggman]

ty for help again what is the difference between a turbo and non turbo distributor

on msa there are two metal hg the 1mm and 2mm what does the size difference do in regards to pressure and does it have a real impact at all

[evildky]

the turbo distributor is optical and uses a nuique driveshaft, the turbo distributir can not work wiht the n/a electronic's and vice versa

the HG thickness effects the compression ratio, stock HG is 1.5MM r there abuts, the thicker HG will lower your cr and the 1 mill will raise it it, it'snot much only about .5:1 cr difference from one extreme to the other IIRC

[kelloggman]

wat is an oil t exactly and wat does it do

[evildky]

it's a "T" fitting (actually it looks square) but is screws intot he oil pressure port, then the oil sender and turbo oil feel lines screw into it

[kelloggman]

is this my j pipe i needhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors....m245

[S130Z]

yea, that's the j-pipe you would need for the L28ET, if you plan on getting a intercooler, it replaces that pipe.

[kelloggman]

nice an0ther thing to take off my list

[s13420]

if you need any old z parts, im parting out a 74.5 260z, but have a large selection of parts 70 through 03. any year let me know. i have a 72z my dad has a 78 aswell . i just sold my 90 n/a and i have a 86 gll im fixing up and a 86 200sx turbo, and a 85 nissan 4x4 kind of like my nissans i guess. ur car looks good hope evrything goes well with the rest of your project
