engine

Hi, I’ve recently pulled and stripped my 1971 240z l24 engine, it is currently disassembled completely, it needs new piston heads and rings, I can attach photos on request. Would anyone be interested in buying this as I plan to drop a different engine in?

Morning all, After some new PCV hoses for my 88 non turbo Z31, can’t see to be able to find them anywhere in the UK. Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Many Thanks Jake

hi guys, hope you’re all enjoying the sun ☀️ i’ve had an issue come up - i have a ‘77 280Z, been driving the Z every weekend over the past couple of months and have had no issues until yesterday. cranks and starts fine, idling is ok, every gear engages perfectly fine when moving, however when...

So I'm building my pile of bits before my car gets here, yes the rust first. I picked up some injectors today and the guy has an RB25 Neo he is selling. It's in Slough. No idea if its any good or not, he was starting at 2K but think he will take less

First off im new to the Z Club and have searched to see if i could find some answers but came up empty handed. So, I have a 78 280 with an 82 turbo engine that im running NA. I bought the car not running fixxed a relay and it ran. The distributor was bad so i replaced it and put new plugs...

Hi all, I have 1979 280zx, and i have an ongoing issue that has both my mechanic and I stumped. I noticed the issue last year, when driving the car in the morning, evening, or during the winter, it runs like a charm. However, if i have been on the road for awhile, or i start the car on a hot...

Hi everyone, Just a quickie, are the thermostats for a 260Z and a 240Z the same? I don't even know if the thermostat housings are the same. Cheers in advance. Matt

As the title suggests, I have a problem. When I first start up, it's fine. It goes through the revs ok and sounds fine. After a while, 5-10 mins perhaps ( but sometimes much longer), it starts to retard at around 3500-400RPM and won't rev any higher. After a while, the rev limit gets lower. Then...

Hello everyone, we all know that the most expensive oil isn't always the best and especially not for classic cars. So, just which oil is the most suitable for the older Z cars. I know there was an article in a recent/current Practical Classics issue but was interested in what everyone was using...

For the last week I've been trying to setup the carbs after an on going problem with stalling. The problem with the 260z beforehand is it would drive for about a mile and then would start stalling (power completley goes especally on hills). It would usually end up with me coming to a stop...

Header and triple carbs fitted. Features Dellorto DHLA40s - carb bodies hand mirror-polished (don't ask me how long that took me!), intake polished. Next jobs - fitting of Arizona Z Car crossflow rad, fit exhaust

Went in (engine and gearbox together) very easily and quickly - the fun bit was then fastening the gearbox tailshaft up!!
