Pretty sure they are in the warthog thread too but that would require actually looking. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hondanx250 Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Here the clutch pedal. Took a Assembly out of a 300zx and modified it DSCN4828 by thesegamaster, on Flickr 1 Quote Link to comment
dukerollo Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Rescued this guy from OKC. It unfortunately is super rotten, but parts of it will live in my old brown A10 that my friend has. The rear end is going in my 210. 3 Quote Link to comment

A10 was A14-powered PA10 was L16-powered HA10 engine was L20B for first two year, and Z20 for last two years. Only H type was sold in USA. I just got an 81 4dr hatchback with a Z20S motor, pros n cons??? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Z20S (carburetor) engine. Block and crank are the same as the earlier reliable L20B engine but with longer rods and flat top pistons and a totally different and re designed flow through hemi head with dual spark plugs per cylinder. The head is part of the NAPS pollution control system. It runs very well but it's head design limits it to highway speeds and it does not modify well for added power due to poor breathing as speed increases above that. It's very good up to highway speeds though and gives good mileage and reasonable power. I like the A10 preferably with round eyes like above. 1 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 My opinion is,, the Z20 gives you what seems to be, a tiny bit more seat of the pants take off "feel" than the stock L20b,, even Donovan seemed to think so.. Never drove A10 wagons enough to comment on hiway power,,,,,,,,,, and i think i used one of the coils in my Ferguson TO20 now. So there's that Quote Link to comment
Hotblack Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 ok so it's been a while since i posted any pics of my SSS Stanza, have done a few thing like installed a new stereo, new door cards, power windows into the front, Refinished the wheels and central locking through out. 4 1 Quote Link to comment

I've always wondered how an L20B and a Z20 would compare on a dyno. The Z20 valves are the same diameter and the valve timing and lift are the same. The more efficient flow through hemi head with and dual plugs (at least at slower speeds) probably makes this difference. Long rod engines allow the piston to 'linger' near TDC longer than short rods. I suppose the piston might have more time to capture more of the combustion pressure during ignition? 1 Quote Link to comment

Have only seen " Z20e" mentioned) not a wagon but a 4 door HATCHBACK, with legal elevation/emissions delete, aftermarket flattened cone dual element intake filter (hence the tilt in the hood..

datzenmike Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 S is Nissan 'speak' for a carbureted engine. E is multi port fuel injection. The only the Z20E was in the '80-'81 S110 200sx. The A10 got the Z20S Make the filter fit the car not the car fit the filter. Or get rid of the filter. There's no gains to be made from any after market filter made, unless you have EFI.... maybe. If that hood comes flying up, kiss that sweet car goodbye. Not worth it at all for ruining the looks. Quote Link to comment

DatSonOfAWrench209 Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Would I be able to/benefiting from converting to that e" intake man.? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 You would need the entire EFI set up including the wiring, ecu, high pressure fuel pump. Could be done if you had an S110 laying around with everything there on it. Advantages would be better starting in ALL weather, better idle, slight mileage gains. Quote Link to comment

There is a limit to amount of power NaperZ will make ,, the people that are getting real "power" out of them are usually running turbos,,, and that isn't financially sound advice. . Easiest ( cheapest) way to up the power is to get a NapZ 24 out of a 720.. your location says Californa,,,, can you even do any engine upgrades to such a new vehicle and still pass emissions??

datzenmike Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 '80 was a pivotal year. Start of the new 720 truck and the second gen 200sx. The 210 and the A10 moved to rectangular headlights along with the 720 and the S110. New Z20 engines in the A10 and S110. Last year for the L20B. The S110 looks pretty slick in black.... more like an S12. Still, too loaded down with creature comforts like the bloated middle aged S130. Quote Link to comment

I don't know,,, maybe the 77-78 Thalidomide baby style ,, but an 82 ,, while boxy as a mofro,, is not bad looking with wide tires and a little lowering.. .Problem i have with A10s is,, if you have one in the backyard,, they start multiplying like fuckin hobgoblins.. . .
