Matt Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 did a come and try day at barbagallo this morning, entered into sprints and motorkhana. the car did better than expecting at sprints but it seems the car is quite a bit faster than me, really need more experience but i believe i did well for my first time. only thing i could really complain about was engine response above 5k, just seemed flat and slow but reading good on the wideband. motorkhana was another story, the carbs just drowned the engine in fuel and it died by the end of the run. a fair bit a cranking needed to try and clear the fuel to get off the finish spot, it really spoiled that event for me. also got to ride shotgun in an instructors r32 gtr doing a sprint, i found that to be quite an experience that shows how fast you can really go. all in all it was a good morning out, got to have some fun and returned home with the car straight and in 1 piece.

Matt Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 picked up a reground cam local, got it all in and just checking wipe pattern. not running off the pad, but its definitely not centered. worth while measuring up lash pad replacements or is this considered useable ? black marker lines taken from 1 intake and 1 exhaust on first pot with stock lash adjustment Quote
Brabham Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Love the presentation and color co-ordination of the rocker cover, manifold, carbs and filter, looks mint Quote
Matt Posted November 26, 2014 Author Posted November 26, 2014 been playing with the z when i can find time for it. finally got the carbs running nice after dropping the main venturi size from 36 to 34, huge drive-ability difference for around town. picked up a genuine bride bucket seat, just fits but its not sitting much lower. will have to get another set of rails to make a lower bracket, kinda just knocked the bracket up quickly to see where its at. also grabbed a set of cusco strut bars, fits well but not with my manifold. the bar sits too low and presses the carb linkage down on number two, may try ordering some shorter linkage arms and see if they'll clear. unsure how much shorter arms would effect throttle travel. modify modifications to fit, always the way. just grateful people are still making parts...
