I clicked and really expected to see something gold, there's no gold there, maybe the lawn around the car...

So initally it was hooked to manifold vacuum, then that's where it should stay or it will see odd things like unusual vacuum spikes, moving it back and fitting a check valve should fix that. the ones used on the vacuum advances here were something called a vacuum delay check valve, so that cause issues, I think the delay was in releasing vacuum, but not sure, so those might or might not be a problem...

$150 was a worst case price, I think I paid somewhere around $100 -150 but these are jacked up los angeles prices.

yes take the 210 perch off the 210 strut weld it on to the other strut at the proper height, use the 210 spring and top.


the 280zx turbo has the biggest rotors, the non turbo's are a bit smaller, then the S13 rotors, then the smaller non vented 240z ones...

you'll need 14" wheels to fit easily, but Z wheels are cheap and plentiful.

That'll give you about 2x the braking power you'll ever need.

there probably is a factory turbo for the H ( 2.0 liter ) as it's an industrial engine and are still made, supposedly there was a fuel injection for the A15 petrol forklift engine, but never tried to buy it.

any of the non 210 brakes are better, there are ways to do it using 240z struts, stanza ones work ( with a bit of futzing ) S13 works, 240sx works

you can use the 280zx brakes you don't have to change them out.

doing that is pretty cheap, get 81 280zx turbo struts from wrecker $150, change spring perches to fit 210 springs. away you go... could be done easily under $500 and probably less.

all the parts are available in the us, I didn't have to order anything for my strut conversion anywhere out of the states.

It's probably an H, there were A15 forklift motors, and yes they're pretty much the same as the vehicle ones.

Here the tax status of road use LPG is very ambiguous, but I think most of it isn't paying any road tax ;)

Which is really odd, but its not used very much as a motor vehicle fuel here.

I'd like to hear Rallytwit's take on the leaf spring thing, since he's had a racing 1200 for a while, and had good luck with the suspension which uses 280zx / wilwood calipers on the front and has leaf springs in the rear.

I think his car has a reversed leaf. ( I don't know how or which one ) I know nothing about these crazy leafsprings.

I've gotten the impression the leafsprings are a better setup than the 4 link in some cases.

nice tank size I have the 34 lt tank and it's too small. remember lpg is like 80% as dense, so you need a bit more volume to be equivalent. The comparisons are kind of interesting, when you look at density and btu content between petrol and lpg.

I went to get lpg tonight, still $2.80 /gal, and i looked up and 92 octane petrol was seriously $3.95 / gal! Up $0.30 in 5 days!

Too bad I need gas and couldn't wait till morning to get it at $2.25...

With 200HP you'll want to head directly to the 280zx / Wilwood brake upgrade...

I know I always say that, but i stopping is more important than going.
