Before the last race I put a fresh head on the car. Nothing unusual, just cleaned up, port matched and new seals. It was not plained. New plugs, wires, cap, etc at the same time. At the track the car was really down on power and was getting hot. It seemed like it was detonating although I...

I really need some advice on getting my car up and running again. I swaped the head on what was a perfectly running car and now have a car that barely runs. I have about 50 hours into trying to diagnos/fix this myself with no luck. So here's the story, the old head ran fine and a compression...

I drive an ITA240 and my obvious competition is the CRX. I finally have the car to a point where I am very happy with how it handles and brakes but I am getting toasted on the straights. Luckily there is lots of room for improvement but I need help deciding where to spend the pennies first. I...

I'm about to re-install a head that I had freshened up. It had previously been sitting, disasembled for years. I soaked the lifters in clean oil for a week or so but some do not want to move and most do not moved smoothly. Some move freely, about 1/4 inch and push back out on their own when...

I have an extra motor with a toasted bottom end but the top is fine. I figured since my race motor is a bone-yard piece it may be wise to rebuild at least the head of my spare motor. It will also let me get more comfortable with it since I have never rebuilt a motor before. Can anyone help me...

Anybody have any input on a streetable setup for a '90 2 door gold that will see frequent autoX, lapping days, and solo I's. Here's what I was thinking: - 8" coil-overs, 400F/275B. I have the 275s already so I'm trying to getting something appropriate for the front. Is this too soft, will it...

I have heard that Nissan lowered the compression ratio on 240's early in the first year of production. Can anyone verify this? My shop manual says 9:1, but a friend told me that they were produced with 10:1 pistons for the first few months.

I'm looking for some help from the 240 drivers in the US. It seems that here in Candada the 240 was never offered with crank windows but it was in the US. Would anyone happen to have parts to convert my car from power to manual that they would be willing to sell. Also I'm looking for a good...
