hmm sure talks the talk, will drop it off next friday

thanks lurch, will give it a shot

i don;t have a private tuner person or a dyno - just me anyway, took the tops of the float chamber and found that the gap on the rear carb was too small eg too much fuel in the chamber. this looks like the primary cause at this stage. reset to1.4cm from float to surface, blowing air thru the inlet for a reference point on valve close also found some petrol residue around the knob which i think its been leaking over the top of the mixture tube

from where ? how many turns of the adjustment knob should i have?

actually isn't rob @ zfactory a gun at this sort of thing?

i was driving at night for the first time ( new rebuilt L24) and noticed that at past 3000 rpm, I'm getting an awful lot of what looks like badly combusted gasses billowing from the exhaust. It is NOT oil, as it doesn't have the blue tinge or smell, but more grey/back Checked the timing with strobe and its spot on When I pulled the plugs, they're really black ( but not oily), which leads me to conclude that i'm running way too rich. The car runs fine otherwise and has plenty of power i know that there are threads on setting the float levels and the mixture knobs, so I set them knobs to default 2 turns http://www.teglerizer.com/sucarbs/techtip6.htm is there someone in SE Melb suburbs with a C02 analyser

this could be the drive. so from the triangle, up the mountain and then down to croydon by 6.30pm?

surplus to requirements - have now put a 240 distributor in my L24

well, don;t keep us in suspense some of us fold with stock brakes may only handle 20 mins on hills driving before the brakes smoke out i think i drove that run in a stock 180b a while back. nothing left by the time i got to the bottom

i'm not much of a hill person but looking at the map, what about ferntree gully-> sasafras ->boronia ->back to ferntree gully not sure how long that would take?

i see the mustang boys doing this along beach road every w.end and it cheeses me off that i never see any z's in groups

in spite of your new mexico location, looks like you;re in melb s.e suburbs now that you got your plate, why don't we pickup a few fellow z'ers who have mobile wheels and go for a spin around the south suburbs? lurch reckons its butt boring, but i say we built the cars to drive them

take them to officeworks? the do the scan and the print might work

1970 Datsun 240Z vs. 1970 Porsche 911T- Back in 1970, $3,500 was real money, about the equivalent of $21,000 today. $7,000 was closer to $43,000 in 2016. That’s what the Datsun 240Z and Porsche 911T cost. It’s not very debatable that the Z was superior to its immediate competitors from Great Britain and Italy, but how did it stack up against a Porsche that cost twice as much? Pretty well as it turns out. The 911T (or “touring”) was the lowest spec 911 in horsepower and equipment with 125 hp from 2.2 liters of air-cooled flat six. It was good for 0-60 in around nine seconds. The Z with its husky 2.4-liter straight-six making 150 hp could run 0-60 in either 7.8 seconds or 8.7 seconds depending on whether you were a Car and Driver or Road & Track reader. Top speed on both cars was about 120 mph. In terms of reliability, the two were pretty closely matched, both cars were carbureted, simple and fairly well sorted. In built quality, it wasn’t close. The Z was clearly built to a price with lots of cheap plastic and tinny, not well insulated sheet metal. The Porsche was well, a Porsche. But with long hood 911 prices officially crossing the insane threshold and early Z prices simply moderately eye-popping at the moment, the Z over 911 argument is just as compelling today as it was in 1970.

not convinced? https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/camden/cars-vans-utes/porsche-911t-1971-sunroof-coupe-australian-delivered-project/1175706737?utm_source=criteo&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=LF-cars really? a 240 in that shape would not fetch more then 20k ( like the green one that was on eaby) this bloke spent $25 just on body and paint the 911T (cheapo model) and the Z would be neck to neck in performance

best offer , gotta go, need the room beadlblasted and in excellent nick

have you got one you can trace out for me? i can't buy these bastards anywhere, so i'll just cut it of a stainless .5mm sheet

no seller id nissandatsunparts on ebay?

don;t buy that entirely. if there was a proportion between outright power and value, then E-types would eb $20K US. Plenty of medium power cars eg early maseratis ,,, and of course the skylines and the 2000gt just to complete the scan

ordered for AUS $17. bargain

i'm finding that when its really hot , the oil pressure drop very low at idle. when starting and revving, goes to 1/2 way, but then drops away fresh engine what shd be the range?

try ferntreegully blasating found them to be just as good, but cheaper

any way the PS30 vs S30 arguement is an argument within an arguement. clearly more $s because of the scarcity factor. Still the Z.

why would nissan take on an ex-Toyota Crown block when they had the s20 engine in their pocket? identical arguement to the 2000GT engine - its just too expensive too produce for the price point, otherwise we would all be driving the PS30s right noe the idea of car manufacturing is to make a profit, not just halo cars
