Re- your cold starting issues What carbs are fitted ?- if they are Hitachi SU type then no amount of pumping the peddle will help as they have no accelerator pump, the carbs rely on manifold vacuum to draw fuel and air into the cylinder......you need to use the choke which pulls the primary jet down and enritchens the mixture- if fitted then it probably needs adjustment - If not fitted then you may need to refit one to solve the problem. If you have triples fitted then your accelerator pumps need looking at . How is the warm start ? cheers Al.

Without sounding to harsh .............PUT THE STOCK AIRBOX BACK ON ! it has been proven on the dyno many times over that the stock 240z airbox is by far the most efficient and best performing induction filter system period...........The filters you have installed just make noise ..............fact. The tuning problem sounds like float height issues......Put the box back on and get it dyno tuned by an expert with Hitachi SU's Once set correctly they should not need returning again for many years..........if ever PM me and I'll put you only an expert who knows these carbs inside out and has a chassis dyno Al.

Josh I have a brand new in box genuine complete combination (indicator/parker) lense Right side These are NLA $150 Can post cheers Alan

Redline water wetter could be the go....never tried it but heard was better at heat transfer

PM - number sent

Guys From personal experience the EPA are red hot on crank case and rocker cover vents to atmosphere, catch cans are out as the crank case gases must be reburned...........ie you must have these plumbed back through an airbox. The other issue is induction noise........yes we think it sounds brilliant......but not the EPA I did offer some years back to get the Prince GTB box (modified to fit the L series triples as fitted on my Zed) produced in C/F but could not get enough committed interest. I have since sold my Zed however I may be able to get my hands on another air box to use to make a plug........if there is enough interest that is. Al.

Guys The NDSOC are hosting Dyno day New and prospective members welcome $50 for two power runs on a FWD dyno go to www.ndsoc.com.au for details cheers Alan Fildes Life member NDSOC

Autos do not have the metal pedistal welded on to the firewall The easiest fix is to glue a thick rubber door stop onto the firewall, Clark rubber has plenty of options for a couple of bucks.........just cut one to the correct thickness to stop the peddle before it bottoms out on the master cylinder.

Thanks Dimitri...........no probs

Get the stock brakes working properly..........cast iron Hilux calipers weigh a ton, increase unsprung weight and once hot- take longer to cool. Talk to any group Sc zed driver who races on stock brakes...........my 2c Al.

Relisted due to being messed around..........sorry I do not have time to package up and ship interstate Price has increased due to me checking what they actually cost me ..........and yes they are $500 cheaper than the SW motor sport headers and marginally more than HM headers with ceramic coating. $750 firm..........no offers, no bids......first in best dressed Pick up only from Moorabbin PM me regards Al.

Bump price drop $800 ono PM me if interested

I think you'll find that SWM headers are $950 + HPC coating (another $350) plus lead time to manufacture

Arizona Z car L6 extractors brand new and used with HPC (ceramic) coating. These are the fabled six into one extractors far superior to the standard HM stock usually available, near impossible to get here due to huge shipping costs. $750 Al.

Might give the new Datsun 370z a run.........seems a good way to run engine in BTW The NDSOC are the feature club of the round so "touring" laps are being offered over the lunch break to prospective sprinters......behind a pace car of course.........but still a great way to experience a couple of laps around the PI circuit. cheers Al.

Go see Ash and Moorabbin Auto Spares- they used to be available (OEM) for < $100

Yes the new Zed has all the mod cons............pity they don't spend more $$ on the exhaust note.......in the words of Jeremey Clarkson "I'd rather listen to me own firing squad".......so it's off to have a new exhaust system fitted later this week .......surely they should sound as good as they go

Well my Zed has made it safely up to Sydney and the new owner is stoked. To help cope with the seperation anxiety I came home with a new 370z the next day...........I told 'er in doors that I just had the green car painted white.....I don't think she bought it cheers Al.

Like any club .......what you get from a club is proportional to what you contribute. The Grand prix display is often short notice and final numbers confirmed at general meetings, by the time it goes out in the monthly mag it's usually too late

You need to get along to meetings, first in best dressed with these events and priory usually goes to regular event attendees

Was at PI today, a few Zeds running in regularity Gorgon Lovegrove was really honking Rob Crighton and one other driver unkown

NDSOC has a club display Tickets available for display cars (must be Nissan/Datsun) , meet at Bunnings Cranbourne Sat 7.15am Al NDSOC

Green seems to have a resurgence in popularity !

So what is your budget ?.........that will give us a better idea on what you will get for your $$$ . BTW - I must be one of those "Greedy" sellers as mine was "restored to the nines" and slapped with a greedy price tag of $35k..........hmmm maybe I was not too greedy given that is sold within days of offered for sale Alan
