1973 240z. I will go start her up and take her out today just to make the point. About time though as the weather + work is keeping my 240z (g-nose V8 hybrid)garaged more than on the road.

Lpg was my intention for the beast but when I looked into it it would cost more than the thing cost to buy.Take over 3 years to return the investment and not be CC exempt. Shame really I would have liked to convert it but the figures just don't work out.

Fork Lift? Well its not a diesel it is definatly petrol and it does drink it too.

I guess you would only use the engine as the rest is to mate to 4 x 4. Its a straight six so I thought it might be a variation of the original engine. Haven't really had much time with the thing yet but if I find out more I will post it.

Hey I just bought a nissan patrol 4.2 straight six as a work horse. It crossed my mind though that it may be related to our beloved 2.4/2.6/2.8 zd's. It only develops about 170bhp but I bet it would tune up a treat and it would surely be an easy-ish transplant. Anyone heard of it being done or...

:) Well thats a relief. Thanks for the help

Hi Guy's I was checking out the drive train on the z the other day and while I had the car rear wheels up on props and the engine running at idle. I noticed that one wheel was spinning! It had a reasonable resistance when I treid to stop it. Now out of gear I was under the fundimental idea that...

BET ITS GOOD TO BE BACK HOME MIKE , Hope you can relax a little and put you feet up. Best Wishes to you for a speedy recovery. :thumbs:

I think the car looks good it is just too pricey. At least for me, If it sells its good for all classic Z owners The U.S. indicators do look like they belong as aposed to an afterthought. Each to there own.. Personally I hope its as good as it looks and someone buys and enjoys it.

Not sure whats up, but wish you well and a speedy recovery Mike, Best wishes Austin

I will leave you two to it. As I am sure this will now turn into something else. Thanks for all the input I have come to what I feel will be the best for me and the car Regards Oz.:)

So to recap! If I want to get an improvement via LSD I need a R200 diff from a 260 Pmac, Are you selling some, one? If so how much? You can email me you should still have my email. Thanks for the input Mike I wouldn't have known it was a R180 and would have presumed it a R200. I think I am...

I just heard from a guy who knows abit of the cars history and he said he thinks its a Diff from 280ZX auto and was I think the 3.54. It dosn't wine either so that is probably fine. I will check all the bits you mentioned and I love the look of the arazona stuff and will consider it later...

I hear you and once the car is ready I will be bringing it out to hopefully claim a place.. I am away this early Sept too. I gather that R200 diffs are hard come by? Do you or anyone know of a diff specialist who could maybe sort out the ratio's too?:) I'm in South London

Thanks, I feel that could be the cause myself I will look into the prop in the mean time. Saw your 350 in your Gallary. looks cool! Keep thinking of getting one but might find it hard to have a good reason for another car...

My first problem is I have a bit of vibration on the drive coming from the rear of the car under excelaration and what sounds like prop clonk. I have paperwork which suggests the car has over 200 bhp at the wheels and 276bhp at the flywheel. So if it has a stock 240 diff and being a 71 car there...

Does look the nuts and great for temp reduction. I have just spoke to a very helpful guy there who says prices haven't changed much. Also that MS is fine so you don't need to go to the expence of SS

Thanks Sean, Your concerns are noted, and the pics would be good to see when you get chance. The original invitation for suggestions were more in a 'how to improve' rather than a 'Oh my god the wheels are falling off'. Before anyone gets too exited the car drives great. There is no contact...

I will come to you for some advice nearer the time Sean as I have noticed from previous forums you seem to know your onions as it were. Anyway thanks again for the input. Pic of Baby Blue car coming up....
