Datsun 240z what engine would you put in it.

[260BC]

One page of the Sports Option catalog.

260DET,

OK. The catalog is the forerunner to NISMO .

Have you a link with info on the light gauge body info?

Best place to go to for historic Z info is here http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/f...-History-Forum

A couple of us were looking at compiling info with a view to getting approval for improved parts to be used in Group Sc. Most of the gun Z drivers are pulling out of Sc because they just can't compete with the upgrades Porsches are allowed to use. It could be done but would involve some expense because of the language problem and, realistically, no Japanese car is going to be allowed improvements in AU which will enable it to dominate the Euros.

JDM spec sheet for various models.

These are the droids you're looking for.

We have won WAs Marque Sportscar Championships with a 260Z really pissing off the Porsche Guys.

Winner, very impressive engine IMO. I'd even condone running one with a carb and dissy in an old Z.

Google tells me that Brian hartley racing (The Head Shop) in Palmerston North sells inlet manifolds and cams for these.

Only pic I could find of a VH4x with carb.

Isn't the L series also based on/stolen from a merc design too?

Nissan bought the Mercedes diesel and developed a petrol version, so based on would be correct.

[Supashake]

The L engine basicly came from Prince when Nissan brought them

Back in the day a stout short deck 289/302/347 Windsor was the default V8 for Zeds.

Dead simple, compact and cheap with easy doubling of the grunt over the L six.

Ive got "Missinglinks" 240Z here now with a fresh 302w with all the Good gear in it and the Arizona Z Track pac. Should be fun.

or was it.. vice versa?

^ after reading above about how dismal NA RB's are, have people done much with n/a 2jz's to much result?

I have an NA 2JZ with a W58 5 speed in a commodore UTE. 11.5 comp, extensive head work. And made 175kw to the tyres, no more. With a bit more aggressive cams may make an extra 10kw, to what end??
Just go turbo in what ever you use, unless LS1 or 350 SBC.....

I think you have that wrong, Prince 2 litre is a very different engine, need Lurch to clear this up

or was it.. vice versa?

That rocks, especially the Wats

You would be mad to put a windsor in any conversion instead of ls whatever. The amount I spent on my 347 to make less power than a ls makes one unhappy. Windsor does sound far better.
But for a 240z, I say itb injection or weber L six. They sound great and go well enough for some fun times. I've seen enough compete to know they can go well enough.
All comes down to what you want from said z.
