Representing The JDM old school!

[S30Mike]

Hey guys,

 

 

One of my good friends recently asked the owner of JDMST (JDM style tuning.com) about bringing back the feature ride articles for the website.

 

I offered my help, as he lives close by and i would be able to co-ordinate with him quite easy, as i had also being looking for a better way to contribute.

 

Anyway ill let the product do most of the talking, im quite proud of it, i hope you guys like it too!

[S30Mike]

Hey Mike,

 

Love the article mate! Photos look great.

 

However, having had two journalists as parents I've got to admit some of the sentences don't read too well. There are a few spelling/grammatical mistakes. Might be worth getting it checked over by outside eyes - it can be hard to spot such things in your own writing!

 

Your car is looking fantastic, you still planning to paint the airdam?

Hey steve,

 

Thanks for the advice, although the guy doing the interview came up with the questions and articles.. i told him it needed abit of editing but not bad i guess..

 

yeah airdam will get painted haha, when i get the flares on!

I enjoyed the pics, I relate to them Mike, mine is blue also but white interior (not leather).

It looks like the front needs about 1/2" to 1" of lowering with those fat wheels, they look awsome how is the steering when parking?

The only thing I don't like is the "boyzee rear big boy exhaust look" but just my opinion!!

I know the triple carbies look better but I am not all that sure they improve performance that dramatically to make it a worthwhile change and it is less easy to home tune as well as being very thirsty on a small fuel tank, they can bog your car down in stop start traffic useage as a daily driver.

I notice you mention the problem of choke and warming the car before driving this was part of the practice in the old days you made time to do this before driving off.

On a previous Datsun 2000 Sports I owned in 1969 it had a hand throttle you could lock in to keep the revs steady on twin side draft Solex's, similarly this was also on the first 240Z's maybe something of a simple modification to overcome your quick getaways on a cold morning?

Good effort I really enjoyed what you have done with the site I should inspire my self and do something similar Lynton

Thanks for taking the time to have a read, Its great to have been able to throw this out there and have some good responses and constructive critics!

 

Yeah my choke cable is made of bicycle wire.. so theres that problem hahaha

 

Yes it will be lowered to a better hight, its on my list of things to do when i get back from my overseas trip.. ill be pumping good money in to her starting 2010!

 

PS:I love my Zaust!! haha

nice writeup and pics. Always wondered about the rest of your car.

I run an equivalent zz'orst as you though not the n1 end.

I run triples in daily driver heavy traffic hell.

I get popping.

I dont care.

Performance gain is more than worth it.

Do it. You only have a little time before they legislate this hobby/past time/fun into oblivion.
