Knocking rod??

hsvblondie428 · Feb 15th, 2005, 04:18 PM

Hey! I didnt know where to look for this on here and I did a search and could not find it. I found a '88 300zx that is in fair condition. Enough for us to play with. But it said it had a knocking rod? No clue what that is. Someone please inform me! Thanks kids!

Tee hee kids

Your car is older than you too. So don't be going on and spouting like that

Naw just playin, BUT

Are you sure he said knocking rod? If that's so, a major rebulid is in order. Now if it's ticking lifters that's pretty normal.

Yea. My car is older than me. Im learning. Im only 17 and female. So I think Im doing pretty well for myself.

But yea...he said knocking rod. Thanks for the info. Thats prolly why he only wanted 800 for it. But me and a friend thought itd be an awesome fix up. I have a 83 280zx that I am in love with! I have a pic of it on here somewhere that I need to find. Its in wonderful condition with only

Thanks again

It would require a rebuild....or you could drop a VG30ET in it.

Big V8s with gobs of power. Get a ride in one and your prospective will change in a heart beat. Though I would rather have an SBC 260 or 280.

Take a ride in my Z, and your perspective will change. I've left a lot of V8s in my mirrors at the track. Including a 280 with an SBC.

EDIT: Sorry JamesZ, thought I was talking to Todd for a minute. Nevermind.

If I had a SBC in a Z (first it would be a 280) it would HAVE to be supercharged..

Line up next to my Z and ummmm oh wait line up to it when it runs again. Of course it is still going to be a VG30ET.

I'd like to pick up a slicktop and drop an LS1 with a T56 in it.

Well, you know how I feel about cross swapping. Remember that huge fight I had with wtf was his name.......

Yeah we do that sometimes. For the 280ZX I would just suggest an L28ET swap. For the Z31 if your not worried about power another VG30E can be had very cheap, and a VG30ET swap wouldn't cost much more.
