Re: Zed car performance enhancements

[andrew smith]

SST's in Perth ran a Rover V8 in a 260z.It was very well setup and very competetive.It ran 8 throttle bodies etc.It would have to be one of the fastest zeds in the country.During the classic rally a few years back it broke a throttle linkage and jamed fully open and bounced off the rev limiter for a few minutes.People were ducking for cover expecting it to blow.

I do note Ford has modern all alloy 4.6 litre.  Not sure if its up to the Jap design specs. though. ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Rudd To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 7 May 2001 22:12 PM Subject: RE: Zed car performance enhancements  What's wrong with that - It's a beautiful Toy V8 in a Zed, much nicer fit than a Chevy anyway. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Richard Clough Sent: Monday, 7 May 2001 9:35 To: Datsun 1600 Subject: Zed car performance enhancements   At grave risk of being excommunicated from this list I have just come across one of the neatest engine swaps I've seen in a Zed, or any car.  It is a Japanese donk at least.www.jps.net/zparts/showcase/engines/pages/eng_lexus1.htm --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
