AFR? Are you good after your pilot screw adjustment?

Why are my mikuni's backfiring?
Sounds like the intake may not be on tight - it was tough to get my short Mikuni intake onto the head. Might be worth a recheck.

Engine will only run above 4000 RPM. Carbs or timing?
Unplug the vacuum advance / fuel pressure 3 psi (+/-.5 lb psi) Check your fuel filters to make sure there is no debris in them at all - I run two - one in the back before the pump with a metal filter - one inline in the engine compartment. 1000 RPM @ 12-14 degree - base setting 3000 RPM @ 36 degree - do not exceed 4000 RPM @ 38 degree - do not exceed I set my timing at 3000 RPMs - I only use the 1000 RPM setting to get the car running - you must unplug the advance hose. This is my timing with my Mikuni's - this setup came from Rebello Racing and it was dead on the first time - give this a shot and see if it helps

How do I install new Brembo (Corvette c6) 4 piston brakes on a 76' Datsun 280Z?
I think I would ebay those out and start with tried and true mods...........keep us in the loop. By the way - the Datsun S30 brakes are more than sufficient for our cars. A clean brake fluid flush - some good Porterfield pads and shoes - make sure everything is working (ie pistons and and cylinders). Bleed your system and your good to go.......unless you really just want something for show. Check this out: Brake upgrade FAQ - Brakes, Wheels, Suspension, and Chassis - HybridZ

Retrosound troubles again?
Call Retrosound - there is a reset they can walk you through if you think that will help. Are all the buttons working on the head unit? If so, you may not need a re-set.

Do you have the vacuum advance hooked up? I do not have that connected with my Mikuni's.......

I had my SU's with a L28 for several years - worked like a charm once you get the balanced and set.

diff. questions
4:11 will give you more bottom end - be care if you opt that route - some of the sides are pop in and not bolt in - you will need to verify with the seller what type he is selling if you are going to make a purchase.

diff. questions
What year is your Z? I have the exact same set up for transmission and diff - it bolted right up, I did replace all the seals. If I were to do it again I would opt for a 4:11 diff.

Help! Freshly rebuilt SU's leaking!
When I was running SU's I always kept (and still have some) a few extra float bowl gaskets - once used, those things curl up like a pringle potato chip - anyway, did you replace or reuse that gasket?

I would have to assume your triples have a jet set up (much like my Mikuni's). What is that setup?

Strut Bar Opinions
I have Cusco front and rears - sandblasted the blue color off and repainted the body color to match my car - firms up the suspension nicely. Works great for mountain twisty 's.
