Administrators gav240z Posted June 6, 2018 Administrators Posted June 6, 2018 Yeah drivability will be much better, cold starts etc.. peak HP is another matter, but it is an N/A motor and I'm sure the limit is the cam and head work. Still a good result. Quote
KatoKid Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Agree, driveability will be the big factor. When I said I expected more, I didn't mean HP. I meant under the curve. gav240z 1 Quote
Cozza Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Me too Kato Particularly considering the AFR’s at the lower RPM on the baseline run were pretty wild. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted June 8, 2018 Administrators Posted June 8, 2018 Just goes to show that well configured Mikuni/Solex or Weber and the right ignition curve with electronic ignition can perform well. The Mikuni's on my 72 have a good progressive feel, not quite fuel injection, but compared with the SU's are like day and night. And yet we haven't really done anything to the jetting yet, I believe the jetting is configured for a standard L28, but could probably use some tweaking for improved AFR's. Ignition curve is probably slightly aggressive given that we do get some pinging under load. Quote

Administrators gav240z Posted June 8, 2018 Administrators Posted June 8, 2018 Hi Gav, What electronic ignition are you using? The 280zx E12 module (think they are Hitachi made). It's got a bit of shaft wobble I think. Slightly arc's on the inductor I think. I have 1 of those Mitsubishi ones to go on it instead, but want to recurve it to suit. Not sure if we should throw a bigger cam in it though! It's pretty quick as it is, but would be good to eek a bit more out of it. AndBir 1 Quote

CBR Jeff Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 Nice video of fellow Datsun enthusiasts enjoying their cars. Very wet but beautiful part or the America’s, the north west. some very nice looking Z cars. Jeff DreamZproject 1 Quote
CBR Jeff Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Not exactly my cup of tea but wow what a car. You need to watch this video a few times to appreciate all of the work and some of the very cool things that have gone into building this car. Only one thing that would make it better IMO is an LCR 3.5 aka the green hornet instead of the LS V8. Bet a very nice build with incredible attention to detail Jeff gav240z, RAP260 and Hokin 3 Quote
RAP260 Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Yea, I've actually been following this on Instagram for a while. As you say, the attention to detail is impressive. Will definitely watch. Rob Quote
CBR Jeff Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 I have seen these cars before and they are nice examples fo both models. Jeff gav240z 1 Quote
Cozza Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 I noticed the 6 2 4 of the firing order on the rocker cover had been sanded back. Somewhat a takeoff from the 432 nomenclature maybe? also noticed the front toe hook up on the strut top, I’ve not seen one there before. Quote
CBR Jeff Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 this is from a few years ago and may have been posted before but worth another look. Interesting rear under tray. Jeff Quote
Hokin Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) Looks like it attaches off the rear bumper bar mounting holes. Rear spoiler is a different look, not sure how effective it would be. Edited June 24, 2018 by Hokin Quote

Rear spoiler is a different look, not sure how effective it would be. Yes sure does mount like that. I think both the spoiler and under tray would probably start to work about 150 kmph. Problem is the exhaust would be dragging on the ground by then. Jeff Quote
