70-78 S30 model parts comparison and detail photos

Mr. Tenno: One main visual difference is the size and shape of the horizontal sheet metal piece that runs across the inside surface of the door skin, half way up the height of the shell. Earliest (70-72 US) 240Zs had a rather thin, flimsy looking piece of stamped sheet metal that mostly...

Guy 600N I have no doubt, from your comments, that you need to replace the window glass frame with that of correct type, but from other comments you made I am wondering what caused the frame to actually break and about what other likely problems you may have left over after you replace the...

The 82 Skyline had an L series engine in it? We did not have these cars in the USA so I am not well informed about them. In USA FI heads for L6 engines all have machined notches at top of port to make room for the injector tip where it projects into the port runner. If that is how your...

Yes, the 260Z "flat top" SUs are generally despised, but give "common sense" a chance and you may be able to trace the problem and possibly resurrect what most recommend to "toss" As most are pointing to, it is a fuel issue and most likely that of a mixture problem. Try some of these. 1...

I am unfamiliar about how the door changes evolved on European S30 models vs that of those in the US, but as a caution to what's been stated in this thread, let me note that in the US, 70-78 Z car models had a total of 5 unique door shell changes for the coupes alone. Unknownst to some, in...

Russ's Feedback Russ, Good points and concerns you brought up. Much of me agrees with them even though another part of me is intentionally heading another direction on the web from what I have created and maintained at ZPARTS.COM for the past 8 years. Yes, "EIGHT YEARS!" Can you believe...

Hello, Everyone Thought I'd take a moment to drop by to invite everyone "across the pond" to stop by to check out the the newest Demo version of my Z CAR SHOWCASE display project at http://www.zparts.com/showcase/zcsc/default.html Number of quality photos in the display has more than...

Russ I'll be most interested in your poll's results because I have been chomping at the bit for a long time to raise my website's design limitations from 800x600 to 1024x768 as well. When & where will the poll's results be posted? Here I check the web on an assortment of machines and...

Z Car Performance & Spec Project at ZPARTS.COM _____________________________________________ "Hi, Steve, long time no hear from Ya" I miss our phone chats of the past and am "Wishing You Well" from across the pond. Related to the subject of this thread I'd like to mention...

Quite a contrast in value and demand for 2+2 models you Z enthusiasts have over in UK compared to what I see in California. In the States, 2+2 models have been mostly regarded as not desirable Z car models to own, drive or fix up. Mostly for hauling an extra 5 year old around up to point he...

I have made inquiries about this Samuri car through other Samuri owner's that I am in touch with and just received one tid bit of info from one owner this morning which commented the following, "Eric I remember this car very well, the large rear wing created a vortex which used to...

Rebello Racing's Monster L engine As a reference to projects in this league some of you may find it interesting to review what Rebello Racing and Hoover Chan produced 3 years ago. That engine was eventually blown up at Sears Point Raceway during speed tests, but I believe it was rebuilt later...

Tony, I was wondering what you Z owners do over there when your gas tanks rust out? Have them welded or repaired or buy used ones somewhere? Are decent quality used 70-78 used Z car tanks reasonablly plentiful over there? Expensive or cheap? I ask all these questions because requests...

Rob, SUs are marvelous little inventions worthy of every bit of lost sleep and hurled epitaphs they generate. I love'um. All you need to tune'um alongside the road, enroute to your parent's 50th anniversary, is an unlit cigarette break, short length of rubber fuel line and a little bit...
