My 240z is busted...

**mushroom_toy** · 02-13-2010, 04:42 PM

Well no pics yet haha, but found out from the po that the reason that it was parked was not the freeze plug, lol turns out theres a fist sized hole on the intake/exhaust side of the block.

So im debating options now. Dont know whether I wanna use the msd box and stuff out of it and go back to stock or maybe drop a 350 in it. hmmm.

**Scotsman** · 02-13-2010, 04:45 PM

**quickdodge®** · 02-13-2010, 05:04 PM

Stay Datsun or Nissan. Don't defame that car with another brand engine. Later, QD.

**Machado** · 02-14-2010, 02:05 AM

Stay with Nissan

**mushroom_toy** · 02-14-2010, 10:03 AM

Ill prob. end up with a l28 for now. Gonna use the stock wiring though and might use the msd 6al on my car for now.

**DVSRX-7** · 02-14-2010, 10:16 AM

L28 sounds good with no exhaust!

**mushroom_toy** · 02-14-2010, 10:21 AM

Ive got two l26 exhaust lol 4-1

**Elbow** · 02-14-2010, 10:59 AM

KA24E with ITB's.

**mushroom_toy** · 02-14-2010, 11:22 AM

IM talking about the cheapest option right now lol....im not gonna be dropping any money on this for a while lol. Have 3 other vehicles to finish first.

**Elbow** · 02-14-2010, 02:32 PM

KA24E is cheap, every 240 kid sells them or gives them away for a SR.

I got a L28 pulled out of a running car but the fuel pump went bad, so the owner abandoned it at my dads shop. the engine has been pulled for 2 months but it spun freely the day it was pulled. $150.

Any trades? Maybe for the wheels in my sig (either set), or a clarke arc welder, or td05h turbo in one of my for sale threads? Not looking to spend any money on the car right now since I have some other stuff to finish first, but if you might want to trade for something Im game.

**Glides** · 02-18-2010, 12:30 PM

My brother has a 280 sitting in his yard that was stored for the past 12 years in an Airplane hanger. He wants about $1,000.00 for it. May get it cheaper.

Got an engine coming tomorrow prob.

I think Ill mainly just need parts...frame and most of the body on the 260 is in great shape, so ill mainly need small things...not really looking to spend anything on this car yet either. Have a lot of other stuff to take care of first.

**HypnoToad** · 02-18-2010, 04:43 PM

KA24E,you can grab em for $300 all day on 240ATL.

**mushroom_toy** · 02-18-2010, 05:21 PM

Eh. Im pretty sure I got a L28 coming tomorrow...so gonna try it first. Gonna be running the 240 Sus. Might swap the l26 E88 head on it...dont know yet.

X2, Nissan makes too many good motors to choose from to go throwing something else in it...

**mushroom_toy** · 02-18-2010, 05:43 PM

Lol thanks guys. Yea the car is wired up funky, so Im gonna use the other stock harness, and run it. im gonna take the msd 6al out, and probably remove the emergency battery cutoff too, as its probably not gonna see any hardcore track time anytime soon.

**mushroom_toy** · 02-18-2010, 09:40 PM

**greengolfbal** · 02-23-2010, 12:46 PM

Push button ignition in a 240z??? What the hell??? Don't put any american motors in a jap car. You destroy the heart and soul of the car itself.
