I think I may still have a pathfinder manifold sitting around somewhere if you woiuld be interested in that.

Nice Z31 by the way! Ive got an 87 coupe 5spd turbo that Im trying to sell right now because I went to the dark side and bought a z32 TT

megasquirt.

Ive got a 1987 300zx turbo if you are looking for something RWD and fun. but it looks like you already have a z31.

I want to sell my 1987 300zx turbo coupe because I don't need it anymore. I have replaced it with a twin turbo 300zx. The car is in good condition inside and out, with minimal rust. The interior is in good condition with the exception of missing rear speaker covers and mis matched seats. The seats are burgundy while the rest of the car is brown/tan. The seats are still in great shape, they are just the wrong color. There are no cracks in the dash and all the digital gauges work. The center console is a little broken where the hinges for the flip top attach.

The car runs great and the turbo spools just fine. The trans is a 5 speed manual and the clutch is good and it shifts smooth. The car is showing 116415, but the odometer was not working when I pulled it out of storage this spring. The trip odometer works just fine, so I dont know whats up with that. It has new tires all the way around, new rear shocks, a recent tune up and would make a fine daily driver. Last year it made several trips to and from fargo without any problems except for the alternator belt shredding itself on one of the trips, so it has all new belts as well!

I am flexible on the price, and I am not really looking for any trades at the moment, unless you happen to have a k04 set up for an Audi 2.7t laying around. give me a call (any time after noon)or a text at 651 335 2797.

I live in the cities, yes, but I am coming up there (close anyway) to work WEfest. Here is a lingk to the craigslist ad, with pics.

check back through your phone records to get the guys number. most cell phone companies will provide you wiht a few months of back records. I can go on Tmobile.com and look at mine, up to 3 months ago, no problem.

EDIT: otherwise, you are screwed. Posession of stolen property is a crime, even if you had no knowledge of said property being stolen. If the price was too good to be true, well, you know why now.

when they arent too busy blowing headgaskets or walking crankshafts.

Honda sucks, ford sucks, chevy sucks, krypton sucks.

Im going to be selling my 1992 Sentra SE-R 5spd soon. not toopretty to look at, but has a new clutch and still burns the tires with ease. Asking $1500.

Caleb is a good guy, I dont think he is intentionally screwing you over. If he has gone through 3 headgaskets, it is possible, just not likely. Could be an extremely warped head or even a cracked head. those 7m motors had their headgasket problems.

Ditch it and get a 1jz. front clip aint that much.

that being said. just show up there whenever you have free time and bug him about it. 1.5yrs is a bit absurd. that being said, it is taking up room in his shop. I dont think he would intetnionally have it there for 1.5yrs without working on it. Even if he did, thats 1.5yrs of free indoor storage!!! gotta look at the bright sides of things every once in a while, lol!

so, I thought Id finally post it affter talking it up at the meet @ bennigans. here it is. the REALLY good pics are at teh bottom of the page. simply amazing.

VH45DETT powered 240Z

prettymuch the hottest car EvAr! Those fender flares are SICK.

yeah, I know those words dont belong in a sentance together, but I was wondering if anyone knew someone that does work on the side or something like that?

I had some dickless faggot hit and run my 280ZX in walmart parking lot down in phoenix right before I moved back up north and I need to get it fixed before april 20th, because thats when Im leaving for the MSA west coast car Nationals........

I USED to go to Jeff Mattson, he ran Mattsons auto was good and reasonably priced (hell, he was fucking dirt cheap!) anyway, anyone? beuhler? beuhler? beuhler?

p.s. its not major structural damage or anything, just pushed in about 3/4" just behind the rear marker light. probably wouldnt require major surgery, just some bondo and paint matching.

that sucks. moving back from AZ to the frozen tundra, that was one of the first things I did was to make sure the coolant mix was good to at least -20 .

arent those caddy motors a dime a dozen? I know one of my freinds bought a running parts car for like, $175.

just get a new engine, done.

at least it was only an 87, and not an 88. that would have really sucked.

EDIT: and arent those camaro V6's are 3.4L, not 4.3?

pic bump, and I have more!

hi there, I bought this car just so I could drive it back from AZ when my 1968 datsun roadster decided to sink a carb float and wouldnt make the trip. I have too many cars and I dont particularly want this one(roadster was going into storage), so its up for sale.

details details details...

1990 240sx hatchback, clean. few dings, nothing serious. NO RUST, ANYWHERE. was originally an AZ car and it just arrived here in MN last night. It is an auto and it is an SOHC. the auto shifts pretty hard into all gears except O.D. O.D. slips if you accelerate too fast on the highway. doesnt matter, because Im sure this car is either getting an SR, CA, RB or at the very least a 5spd swap by the new owner.

The KA is pretty strong and runs decent except that it sometimes misses around 2 to 3K. dont know what it is, but it cant be anything major because I just drove it almost 2,000 miles with no poblems whatsoever.

interior is in good condition, no radio tho. HAD a monster stereo in it, but previous owner removed it. heater works, A/C even works!! tested before I left AZ. it also has some white face gauges with blue/green indiglo type lights behind them, look pretty cool!

the car was originally black but was repainted bright ass yellow. its not in bad shape, looks decent! and it also has a decent sized wing on it, double decker of course as well as chrome hubcaps. thats all I can think of right now, pics are soon to follow. It has manual windows, no sunroof and no power options, LIGHT LIGHT LIGHT!

Im asking, oh, lets say.. $2350?

NADA average is $2100, NADA high is 2650, so middle of the road is good. plus, its rust free!!!******

95TsiAWD>>> I dont have a cardomain site witha lot of pics, just threw a few up there for hosting so I can link to pics in ads. I do have a bunch of pics that I scaled down to 640x480 for easy emailing tho. I emailed your freind with a ton of pics as well.

sorry, forgot to include a price. Im asking $3000 for it if you want to buy it in AZ and ship it yourself, or $3500 already transported up here. these are semi negotiable.

oh yeah, the old school Z is not for sale., its my friends car, its N/A and it runs high 12's. I could probably locate a rust free car in AZ for you if you are interested. price depending on condition.........

I know its nota sport compact, but I figured, what the hell.

It is a 1969 Cougar XR-7. It has bucket seats, center console auto shift, a 351W engine that recently had the top end gone through, with a relatively new Holley 600CFM carb on it (oem replacement part). the car does have some minor body damage, just around one of the rear wheel wells. I suspect that it blew a tire at one point in its life.

It starts and rund with just 2 pumps of the gas pedal, has new rear wheel bearings, new tires all around. The concealed headlight doors still work GREAT! All teh glass is in GREAT shape, the interior is a little mismatched and could use some help, but overall for a 37yr old car, it really is in good shape. at one point it had AC, and it has Cruise control on teh steering wheel (doesnt work) so options wise, it could be a rare car.

now the negative. the turn signals dont work ( I suspect a column switch is the culprit, as the person I bought it from SWORE up and down the sequencer was still good) and the gas gauge doesnt work. the aforementioned damage and thats about it. It is a ture dail driver/survivor that would be an EXCELLENT canidate for restoration! I have MANY more pics available upon request, including shorts of the trunk pan and the underside of the car.

the car is in AZ, but will make its way back to MN in late february. Ive got TONS of pics! like 30 of them, of all the glass, floor pans, trunk pans, EVERYTHING! lemme know if you want to see them.

damn my typing. yes, DIY is what I meant. I am not doing it completely by myself, but we are not enlisting the help of any machine shops, because my freinds dad owns one! All work is being done by either myself or my freind. Parts are being sourced from the junkyard an/or made out of modified stock parts.

A little history lesson is in order to tell you "how to do it"

The nissan L series 4 cylinder first made an appearance in I beleive the '68 datsun 510. The 6 cylinder came out in the 1970 240Z. The 6 cylinder is just the same as the 4 cylinder, except it has a 2nd pair of cylinders (#'s 2&3 of the 4cylinder motor) stuck in the middle, thus making it a 6 cylinder. It was kind of one of the first "modular" motors. This theory is proved by the fact that if people want an EFI manifold (which the L4 never came with in the USDM), they simply take an L28E (L family of engines, 28 displacement 2.8l, E for electronic Fuel Injection) manifold, , chop the 2 middle cylinders out of it, and weld it back together and they have a manifold that will bolt on to thier L 4 cylinder..

The L6 never really evolved much and became extinct with the 1983 datsun 280ZX. It still had its non-crossflow 12 valve SOHC head. although, there was a factory SOHC crossflow head made in VERY limited numbers, and there was even an aftermarket DOHC crossflow head made in even less numbers. the DOHC head cost about $15,000 in 1980 dollars, when the yen/dollar exchange rate was about 200:1, its now somewhere in the 100:1, plus you have to account for inflation. not a viable option.

The L4 evolved into the Z series 4 cylinders with a cross-flow SOHC hemi style head with 2 sparkplugs per cylinder. The Z series motor then evolved even further into the KA24E with 3 valves per cylinder THAT motor eventually evolved into what we now know as the KA24DE, with its DOHC pent roof combustion chamber and fiarly decent flowing ports. You can put a DOHC KA24DE head on an L series 4 cylinder motor (its been done), all you have to work out is the camshaft timing.

So, I one upped it and said "hey, if you can put it on an L series 4 cylinder, why can't I make one for an L series 6 cylinder?" So, I gathered a few KA24DE heads from freinds that had blown up their 240SX's or done and SR swap and cut them up. I cut one right in half and I cut the end cylinders off of the other one. then put it alll together, so if you were looking at the head, it would look like this... 1&2,2&3,3&4, the numbers corresponding t the cylinder head chunks I had cut up. then I found some cams that were actually quite close and only needed minor modification (gee, which nissan motor is a DOHC inline 6?!?!?) and i shall have it done by april.

I have to keep a few secrets, because we may plan on selling these once we get it done. needless to say, figuring out how to seal up the passages for coolant and oil inbetween the head halves (thirds?) has been a bear of a problem, but I think we have it solved.

p.s. oh and ot the question of "why not just use an RB head?" all of the water passages and oil galleries are completely WRONG, the bore spacing and cylinder head bolt spacing is spot on though... plus RB's are timing belt, KA's and L6's are timing CHAIN.

p.p.s and to the question of "why not just use a complete RB engine?"

1. I like to have things no one else has, and 2. parts...... everything on this motor, save for the cams, is readily available at any corner auto parts store.

does making my own DOHC head for my venerable L28E count as a DYI mod?
