Pretty sure there is a pod filter at the end of the hose leading into that intake.

I don't suppose you have more details of that engine? I'm assuming it's a custom part, but if by some small miracle they purchased it from somewhere I would be all over that.

Hey guys just confirming that the new date will be the 11th or 12th Dec as there is not enough interest for the 20th. Sorry Peter!

Yeah all good, was gonna text you tomorrow. Thanks anyway though! I don't have much planned for sunday arvo if you want to look at the gauge faces for ideas, I could come to yours though?

Well had a successful day borrowing a winch and bunch of gear from Greg that resulted in me getting the engine up on my stand. Thanks Greg, hope your knee operation heals quickly so you can get back on the road again soon!

I'm interested in the airbox idea but I'm not sure if its worth the hassle. I could have the K&N filters for normal use and if I'm going to a show I could bolt on some of the weber air horns.

Ah damnit! Sorry man I'm detoxing from the daily red bulls I was drinking during exams.. Well yeah then we only have four confirmed for the 20th. Can anyone else chime in with their availabilities to help us pick the date? I'm leaning towards December but really need more feedback.

Is there any type of air filter that doesn't hide the ram tubes? The ITG one doesn't quite gel with the highly polished look I'm going for in my engine bay. I'm thinking maybe the K&N? Anyone have any ideas? Edit: So Shaun just pointed out that the ram tubes are for race and show. I think I'm probably not going to replace the horns in a hurry and get K&N filters.

Yeah I agree Peter, but we just need to make sure we get enough attendees. So far we have 5. 1 Me 2 Shaun 3 Peter 4 Zac 5 Casey (Z) can you confirm this? 6 Stevefox? depending on Z? 7 Bobsyouruncle Who else?

Webers are 45's the original weber stacks are only $180 for six so I might as well get them (I'm after silver) Yeah Brad it's verry close but just slightly out on the speedhut face, which one would assume is based on the original face. I'll get an original face out to compare from the broken tacho I am using for the housing. What filters do other people with 45DCOE's use in their S30 engine bay? I'd like to keep the horns if possible but apparently socks kill airflow like nothing else.

If we do the 20th both BullZ and PeterT can make it, whereas the 12th Matt (PZG) can make it. If we do organise it for the 20th there isn't much notice.. How about this: If we can get 7 people interested in the BBQ on the 20th by this coming Sunday then we'll have it then, if not then we will postpone it until the 12th. Sound fair? So far interest on the 20th: 1 Me 2 Shaun 3 Peter 4 Zac? (bullZ) can you confirm this? 5 Casey (Z) can you confirm this? 6 Stevefox? depending on Z?

The flash is making them look shinier than they do in real life. The majority of the bolts and bits have rust or corrosion of some type, they need more than just polishing. I COULD just soda blast the carbs myself and take them apart to give to someone else for plating.

Just got off the phone to Recarb in Warana Qld (sunny coast). Quoted me the following prices to get the carbys rebuilt/restored to as new quality: Rebuild per carb: $290 Redline linkage full set: $149 New air horns: $180 for 6 So looking at around $1200 to get these carbs to show condition. I'm not sure I'll take this option as its pretty expensive, but its a handy reference.

The engine arrived yesterday, so it only took 5 days from Perth, which is pretty good. The L28 was strapped in very securely, as can be seen below. I pulled the tape off the extractors and they look pretty far gone. The HPC coating guy near me said he thought I'd be better off replacing them as the coating will have a pitted look if he used the old ones. I'm most likely going to end up buying a new version of them for $300 off ebay. The webers look pretty nice. I'm thinking that I'll take them apart, clean them, get the bodies polished and get the bolts/screws electroplated so they will look as good as new. The air horns on the carbys are a bit battered, does anyone know how much they cost / where to get them locally? I bought one of the 450 kg engine stands from supercheap, which I will mount the engine onto this weekend when I can borrow a winch off Greg. I received up a box of useful looking spares and the fuel line: In other news I also have the new tacho recommended by Brad. I'm a bit worried though, by my estimate if I put my speedhut tacho face onto the new gauge I'd be out by a factor of 5-6% (to go 6000 RPM the gauge would say 6300-6400).

Any engine bay pics? Just out of curiosity

Hey guys, Updated: "QLD Christmas BBQ Sat 11th December 2010 Time: 1pm - 6pm Sausages and salads provided. BYO any other meat and drinks Location: Kedron (PM me or sushi for address and to let us know you are coming) All welcome, z car or not. If you have a fold out chair, please bring it along"

I'm probably not qualified to look at it solo, but if you want company for the drive Shaun I'll come with.

I'm not sure if it was you posting about this previously, but have you seen pics these before? I was researching cable accelerator linkages too.

Looking back most of the comments in this thread are praising your car, I'm sure you'll get a sale eventually. Either way you look at it you are getting a heap of advertising by being included in a controversial discussion. Also this is a car forum, we will 'carry on' about anything, don't take it the wrong way.

Well I'm planning on putting it on an engine stand when it arrives and getting it cleaned up. So however long it takes to get parts coated, polished etc. Then I'll need to find a free weekend to strip out the old engine so I can get the bay painted before I drop it in. Once that's done I'll drop it to Jim Milner to give the engine a full inspection. Probably aiming for early next year. Can the block be painted while the engine is assembled? Could I just mask up the head? I'd like to paint it the original blue if I could.

Nice work Benny, i'm keen to see more!

My L28 is in transit from Perth!

Looks interesting. I'd also be keen to hear what people think of this product

Your complaint has no grounds... If I understand correctly there was hail forecast, so as soon as they knew they postponed the show and made a post on their original thread. What are they supposed to do?
