Onion Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 My 100k mile van doesn't even leave a drop of oil after idling it for a while. I can't argue about the Z, it only has 20k, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedCrazy Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 My 100k mile van doesn't even leave a drop of oil after idling it for a while. I can't argue about the Z, it only has 20k, lol. My 220k truck doesn't leak a drop so i don't know what y'all are bragging about. Love this car btw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 This is with absolutely no traffic. There's never no traffic here. I'm not gonna drive over an hour just to get some cheap oil. If I want cheap oil, I'll just buy it on Amazon. It comes out to like 5 bucks a quart if I get it from Walmart, Mobil 1 comes out to about the same on Amazon IIRC. And if you want expensive oil not really designed for driving on the street...you buy Royal Purple. Also, if you haven't started watching them already, go watch Mighty Car Mods. Awesomeness. I can't really just run any oil in the Z, it needs high zinc otherwise the valvetrain just annihilates itself. As for street driving, my street driving is more spirited. I love Mighty Car Mods. What a fine automobile you've made Nissan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a fine automobile you've made Nissan Any head with tappet valve will have this issue, which is basically all classics. Back then, oil was high in zinc, so it wasn't something people dealt with.

Onion Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Because one meme wasn't enough. Because two memes weren't enough. Because three memes weren't enough... Speaking of carbs, though, I really need to tune mine, I'm really down on POWAAAAAAH. And retard my timing a little, its pretty much all the way advanced. My brother and I went to a tint shop for his car, and I led the way. When we got there, he calmly stated "By the way, your car randomly makes a really loud pop sound and I can see your exhaust light up a little. Is that normal?" Who knows how terrified anyone behind me must have been these past couple days when my car actually backfires hard, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Trying to decide what to put in this car when the engine goes. L28 turbo stroker? RB30? SBC? LSX? Maybe a rare 4.6 modular? Or a Nissan 3.7? No idea... But a swap is imminent... Keep an eye peeled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il_napoletano Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 RB26 or RB30!!! Motor Trend did an episode called "Nissan Project 370z vs '70 Datsun 240z with RB26" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVIYTH0S Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 I'd swap out if only to remove the carburetor lol The 3.7L's been done successful?? That'd be badass lol, probably the most expensive though so maybe not the best choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
