Parts are pretty readily available (road race and stock).

There is a parking lot full of spares up the road from me. But no room in the budget.]]> aj_johnson Buy, Sell & Trade Mon, 05 Dec 2011 14:04:19 -0600 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,58596,58692#msg-58692 Re: Sweet! 1972 240Z Fresh Build https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,58596,58692#msg-58692

I think Bryan Scott was having one built as well.

I thought Bryan Scott's 240Z was done in the early 70's Nissan factory team colors (orange body with black hood)?]]> MikeColangelo Buy, Sell & Trade Mon, 05 Dec 2011 00:23:56 -0600 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,58596,58684#msg-58684 Re: Sweet! 1972 240Z Fresh Build https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,58596,58684#msg-58684 heymagic Buy, Sell & Trade Sun, 04 Dec 2011 21:26:39 -0600 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,58596,58664#msg-58664 Re: Sweet! 1972 240Z Fresh Build https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,58596,58664#msg-58664

Yeah, talk to Healy about how shitty they are, and no fun to rally.

In the land of blind men,.......

Tony Fall's comments weigh more than Healy's in my book)]]> john vanlandingham Buy, Sell & Trade Sun, 04 Dec 2011 12:41:54 -0600 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,58596,58659#msg-58659 Re: Sweet! 1972 240Z Fresh Build https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,58596,58659#msg-58659 wvonkessler Buy, Sell & Trade Sun, 04 Dec 2011 12:05:10 -0600 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,58596,58642#msg-58642 Re: Sweet! 1972 240Z Fresh Build https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,58596,58642#msg-58642

weren't they quite successful at Safari? For us clubbie guys isn't reliability numero uno importante?

So was Peugoet 404 diesel.
Ford used Kent cast iron pushrod things in their Escorts.

I thought FUN was numero uno, and a vile handling thing with a not very reliable motor with a head as long as the block (LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG) which at the first hint of heat warp badly, not my taste.
Do any valve train mods and you can spend HOURS!!!! setting up the valve stem height right so the cam doesn't ram into the wrong part of the slipper followers. Not worth it unless there's no other choice.

And there's LOTS of other choices.]]> john vanlandingham Buy, Sell & Trade Sat, 03 Dec 2011 17:10:17 -0600 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,58596,58633#msg-58633 Re: Sweet! 1972 240Z Fresh Build https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,58596,58633#msg-58633 phlat65 Buy, Sell & Trade Sat, 03 Dec 2011 16:26:57 -0600 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,58596,58629#msg-58629 Re: Sweet! 1972 240Z Fresh Build https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,58596,58629#msg-58629

Yah Bob Sharp and BRE both just totally failed with those cars n TransAm back in the day...sure there are better platforms but looky at it it's just purty!

Oh sorry Jay, I forgot we were talking about a little sports car class in roadracing. You're right, just spend 20 times what some club guy ---in road racing in those days---and they did pretty good.

Who cars that that "sports" cars with shit weight distribution were emabarassed by cars with 1/4 the horsepower they had.
