as per title rising rate fuel pressure regulator for carby setup. Apparently need one of these suckers for my twin stromberg suck through carby turbo setup. kinda explains my carby pissing fuel problem. may have had one at some stage and than someone took it of and now full pressure from pump is flooding the carbs. apperently needs 3psi on idle and for 2Psi more than desired boost pressure. there fore needs to be adjustable. i got an efi 0-100PSi but i dont think it will work well under low settings. but ill try anyway. but if someone has the right one ill be interested.

Yeah im interested as well love to get it running. Try it out than improve it. Dont like the adaptor not symetrical plus they bashed the tower to fit it. Thinking of moving the carbs slightly forward. cold intake pipe infront of grill and single pod filter. But first see if it runs how it runs and if worth trying that path. Time is not on my side. i play with it for a day and see what happens. I hope it works great as that be the quickest solution. I guess we find out tomorrow when other parts arrive.

im assuming no idea. never seen it before or even pulled it appart. got the plugs leads cap and rotor arm on order so we see when ignition is all up to scratch. than look at the carbs once the motor cranks over. got new clutch master and slave hilux s12-8 rebuild kit and new pads. Also 15/16 brake master to upgrade the brakes on the beast. than start working on the rear hatch and few other parts after work. indicators brake lights horn , parkers all work. no low beam for some reason need to check it out and havent checked the reverse lights yet. not too bad. cannot wait to get it all going.

Put fresh fuel, found some better plugs, tried it again and all i get is fuel poring out of the carbs. Any ideas. I did recheck the spark, does spark but doesnt look that good. Going to get new leads, cap and rotor arm and new spark plugs. See if gets any better. Drop some fuel into the manifold and see if she comes to life. If does remove the carbs and get them sorted. And hopefully all works than.

Haha i did that as well on my rb install. Wouldnt start. Got puzzled had spark had fuel it ran before fine out of jerry can but now wouldnt run out if it own fuel tank. Thought blocked line checked that was getting fuel but... Than realised i was geeding the fuel into engine fuel return line. Swapped it and she came to life. Nice work by the way. Looking very schmick.

Hmm bit of bad luck with the housings and bolts Mick. But those triples look awesome.. Any work on the limey??? Diff updated?

Tripzi you sure are spending big. Nice collection so far. It be very cool 2+2. Keep up with the progress. Looking good.

That is some serious gear there. Cannot wait to see it in person.

I hope so. Im bit unsure of the l24 e30 combo with that turbo. Just hope some internals have been upgraded. But not pulling it appart if it starts and runs. Dont have time for rebuild or even engine swaps. Nah this console is cracked and drilled for bush mechanic style choke leaver. Im only salviging the lid and rear ashtray needed for the jap one. Im looking for a new one anyway so if you not in rush jdm will be available soonish.

Wow bit of history there awesome. Cheers for the info. Mick fastest capuccino deliveries in adelaide. Dont laugh when its finished. For all you 4 seater haters will be drinking your words made by my coffee maker at the back of 2+2 Alex sorry color not staying. Been thinking about a lot if i ever get a 2+2 what will it be. It was, i have that and that oh bit this and that hmmm that looks damn good. Anyway stay tuned for updates. As for turbo setup. I try see if i can get it going. Has alll the goodies to be a fun daily. Why wouldnt it work.... Dodgy wiring crap everywere, stale fuel, who know. Previous owner had no freaking clue. Pulled stuff of had no idea how it goes back on but have spark does flood but no boom. Suspect crap fuel. Been busy with weeds today grow like crazy so was whipper snipping than helping missus with the paint preping te doors than decided to pull appart the siezed l28 i have. N42 Head looks good taking it get it tested and cleaned up. No corrosion so should turn out well. Manages to save te crank no idea what to do with it looks nice though. Pistons were corroded so well that even a 5kg sledge wouldnt free it so took what i could dump the rest. Next few day will be trying to start the beast again. If it work take it for a spin. If i come back with a smile than ill just pretty it up and leave it in there till it dies. Than we see. Though cant wait to go for a drive. Been almost 4 years since ive driven one. Even on a trailer today in shoddy body condition it still turns heads like you wont believe. Got to love the Zs

Turbo setup is as genuine as a 'factory' sunroofs on s30 cars. Mate heres the info. You see what i see. British cd carbs turbo unknown, external wastegate unknown, tell u what now i want to get this sucker running just to see how it goes some one at some stage spent bit of coin on this. as extractors and all look reasonably good. Got few ideas im going to try and see if it comes to life. #1 fresh fuel lol #2 if dont start scratch my ead and start pulling it appart and fit efi.

Well 180sx is giving me the you know what. Its takin lot longer than i ever intended to. Since the rx7 died and sold on we were sharing a car between us me doing the extra driving. Has been ok saving on rego and fuel. But that wouldnt be possible in 4 weeks as our jobs are on opposite side of the town. I had an add here and few other sites looking for a 260z in need of some tlc, as i wasnt planing on driving the 180sx much due to money invested in it and work. Want it to be clean and away from possible accidents. Finally few days ago i get a sms saying: "Got a 260z factory manual turbo interested?" Hmm my first answer "yep" followed by is it "2 or 4 seater and how much?" Hoping it be 2 seater reply was "2+2 , come have a look and make an offer" Oh well cant win them all the time plus at the back of my mind i secretly did want a 2+2 to follow my previous plan on my last 2+2. So went had a look made an offer guy accepted it and i gave deposit. This morning its home. Though looked a bit worse initialy on the outside as po owner semi striped it and attempted at "restoring" but was way out of his league. In other words no idea when he started telling me how he planned fixing rust with newspaper cardboard fiberglass and body filler. I just looked at him and reply was HELL NO! Ive cleaned it a tad put it back together so it looks bit more respectable while on the road. It is regod. Body as usual rough with typical rust spots. Though structuraly is perfect no rust in rails or floors. Also a first z witho no sunroof. Bonnet is junk, rear tailgate is rusted, console is cracked, lucky have all the spares waiting for it with few jdm goodies looking for a home. Anyway 1977 260z 2+2 Engine is a 2.4 from a skyline unknown what has been done internally but does have copper headgasket extractors with top mount turbo, twin british god knows what carbies. Interior aint that bad besides console and carpet need replacing. Dash has a dash cap and looks presentable at the moment. Seats are good and rest of trim. Oh has an old school turbo timer. Plan is pending on time i have to work on it still 180sx is priority one at this stage got two weeks which will be concentrating on engine, suspension and brakes. Got some 4 potters comming in for quick upgrade and getting rid of those carbies and turbo setup and replacing it with efi system I got sitting around. Maybe turbo if this can fit with 280zx manifold. Bout from looling at it dont think so. So turbo and carbie setup will be for sale soon. After that will be fixing things as time goes. Engine bay respray carpet replacment, bonnet and tailgate and finally complete paint job. Than rear wing, flares fender mirrors and fairlady z badges oh and fat rims. Stay tuned.

I think there maybe few fairlady grills badges etc... So keep an eye out. Trade embargo has been set at the moment with japan due to my minister of finance. So be loong time before i get more bits till the account gets rebuilt again.

See Jarrod what you done posting that link. An outright war lol. I started the z scene with bang for buck and went rb route. Did i give a rats butt about nostalgic or original? Nope. Now bit older and over 10yrs exeprience in z cars things have changed somewhat. Would i pay 80k + for a 432 with s20 oh hell yeah. Would i pay 30k+ for s20 maybe not unless i have a ps30 shell with s20 missing or hako gtr. Would i pay 15k+ for worked L with 300hp well hell no. Would i pay 15k for rb26 with 600hp+ in a z hell yeah. Would i pay 20k for us iron with 1000hp hell yeah. Like d3coy said everyone to them selves. I love hi-tech i love classic and i love original. Cant have all in one car so you buy few and have all.

Hi Ryan, I got one at home 432 one with ribs and got another one comming next few weeks. I cannot even recall buying the second one but i have Also few other ones i didnt think i won is a 240zg carbon fiber one and another set of flares. All comming next few weeks. Though im bit fond of the 432 as i was going to put it on my zg and the other one for my future project. But ill keep hunting. Though have at least $300+ for a second handy one. By the time it lands here I got a realy nice bre one brand spanker but was thinking installing it on the early girl with bre front lip that sitting next to it.

Pics of the japanese 260z console. Ima ssuming its 2+2 as has rear ashtray. Also note no choke slot so it was from a efi model car ie l28 or l20 efi. Do have ashtray and the liwer broken bits. Otherwise very straight and clean console.

Yeah bit pricey for engine alone. Seen complete cars with s20 engine for less than that. Genuine 432 with s20 semi finished for 48k or complete rebuilt car for 80k Though s20 parts seem to be available just alightly pricey but than again its all relative expensive car expensive parts Anyone want 432 magnesium alloys for 10k or solex complete setup triple carbs for 7k. As Alan said s20 is the king regardless of power. Having that in engine bay craps all over anything else. even if it only makes 1/5th of even a stock l20. Thank god it doesnt but.... Its just engine porn. Like jarrod said one day

Hi Linton, Sorry mate head and block has been promissed to a member allready. Hes waiting for me to pack it all ip for him. As a ball park you looking at $25-30 for a head to a depo nearest to you. I do have another l28 n42 n42 but i dont know any history of it or condition.so going to keep that one for my use and if its stuffed oh well my loss.

Ok hopefully this clears few things and spares me answering same questions multiple times. For people wanting long stalk fender mirrors s30 ones be prepared to pay. They only come in black. New ones fetch close to $800-$1000. So unless you prepared to pay that much don't bother asking. Second hand if available fetch $350-500. And these are all non comission no postage prices so add another 25-40% pending xchange rates and postage costs. The short stalk chrome ones are for 510, skylines and few other cars from same era. They are not reproductions copies or whatever but genuine oem old stock that few japanese bought out from nissan. They are sealed in nissan boxes with evidence of long shelf time. Here are the pictures as detailed as possible. I only opened one for photos other one is still factory sealed. Fender mirror square type rubber mounted not spring like bullet type. Only one set Fender mirrors bullet type chrome short stalk. (10mm shorter than s30 black ones) only one set left and not bringing any in unless depo paid earlier for a set. Door mirror left side brand new Second hand door mirrors x2 Thanks

Anything is possible to help out a fellow z member. Yes can work out some lay-by type of plan lol. As long as it doesnt take 6 months lol need space and missus getting bit upset.

Ok few bits arrived Webber/solex manifold japanese made as pictured been machined as pictured $280 thats what cost me was bidding on these and solex tripple carbies. Didnt win carbies but won this. And not doing tripples changed my mind again. 280z badges 2x new one second hand again what it cost me. $ 175 for all three And pics of spare set of flares and 240zg spoilers Flares local made (same what zzzzed mick has on his 240) need triming $150 Flares japanese made $230 cost me $270 Rear wing second hand $80 Rear wing new from japan $200 Fender mirror type 2 new $ 315 pair Door mirror left side new $100 Will be adding few more bits as they slowly trickle in. Also have few s13,14,s15,r32 parts and nismo gear like suspension and gauges clusters for those that own these type of cars.
