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...

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...

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...

I have bought Clive Standish's 240z which has a tuned rover V8 in it. I am very happy with the car and intend to make some further improvements over time. I noticed on the run from Phil Hyatt's who I got the car from to mine that it was running hot. Not worringly but above average. I thought...

Has anyone seen the Sam spec car on Pistonheads? How far does that Sam spec thing go is it full car or just engine? The reason I ask is I have heard differant views and thought where better to get the thing sorted out once and for all than on the original Z site... Like RS escorts used to be...

I went to pick up yet another part for my 240z refurb the other day and in the exchange I got chatting about this site and for one thing how useful it is and some of the projects. Then this guy was telling me that he had heard someone talking about putting an Audi V8 (alloy engine) in their...

I am trying to find out if a 240sx and a 240z steering wheel are interchangable? or should I say will a boss for one fit another? Anyone know!!:conf2:

:conf2: I just bought those some wheels & tyre's off a very nice man. When we tried then on my 73 stock height 240z they looked great but for one thing! Due to the back wheels being wider they were wearing 245/ 50 tyre's (on a 16" rim) and the fronts are wearing 215/50 tire's. This has the...

Hey I keep seeing these Ally radiators in z's. Where do you get um, are they custom made? they are obviously lighter. Better cooling too?:conf2:

In an attempt to refit my 240z I am wondering if 2+2 doors fit 2 seaters? I feel its wishful thinking but thought I would ask......:conf2:

So say I can find a 280zx doner how much of the running gear is interchangable? engine & gbox obviously but brakes Diff?:confused:

I was just looking at the galary and saw a photo of a (I think) 3 litre motor V8 turbo from a 300zx. Now my curiousity is this people are always wanting to put Rover & chevy motors in their 240, 260z why not this motor? Surely this is a more convenient motor from the same breed. Does it lack...

Does anyone know where I can get louvres put in my 240Z Bonnet ideally pressed in? simular to the ones shown in the gallary....:D
