I was under the impression it did because the air was thinner and the carbs needed to be run a little richer to compensate. Ztherapy asks if you live above 6K ft elevation when they rebuild your carbs...not sure exactly why but I assume it's so they can change something in the configuration of what they end up sending you. Another option may be to replace the fuel filter. My tank probably needs a good cleaning and when the fuel filter gets plugged up, less fuel makes it to the carbs.

I had a problem with heat and elevation causing vapor lock in a 260 I had, bigger fuel pump in the engine compartment separate from the one by the tank fixed the problem.

I'm happy with the '73 I have. Factory color I wanted plus a few little conveniences. People complain about the bumpers and the carbs but those are easily remedied and overcome.

I saw a 280 at the Mitty that had what looked like a TB setup. I'm going through the mental gyration of Ztherapying my SUs, getting triples or exploring what the options might be in a TB setup.

Anything like this or better available commercially for an L-series engine? http://www.twminduction.com/ThrottleBody/ThrottleBodySU-FR.html Would the setup designed for Weber applications be able to be directly bolted on? http://www.twminduction.com/ThrottleBody/ThrottleBodySU-FR.html

So what's wrong with my SU settings when the back one misfires? Is it timing, mixture, both, or neither?

2 X DC to Missoula MT, once over New Years, once on the 20th of Dec. Took my 260 the first time, had to stop at a gas station next to the Corn Palace and put every stitch of clothing I owned on because the heater couldn't generate hot air! Same time of year in my 240 and the heater worked great???

I can't believe how clean this thing looks. Someone may get a steal on it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1972-DATSUN-240Z_W0QQitemZ260130951003QQihZ016QQcategoryZ6187QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I'm assuming you worked at the ROCC at Tyndall?

This is hilarious! I can't help but wonder how many pages we would have gone through if they had been crushing Chevettes and Pacers instead of Civics!

Cold Lake eh, went there for Maple Flag once. If you get a chance, update this post with your trip adventures and how your Z and your wife fared.

Thanks for the info fellas, I really appreciate it.

I live near Macon but am looking for someone who knows what they're doing and can put a VLSD in the R200. Any idea how much this might cost?

Hopefully I'll be able to get this dubbed somewhere. http://www.bestmotoring.jp/HV/087/

Count me in!

Looks like a good deal if someone wanted a resto project. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/54218215_W0QQitemZ190118885253QQihZ009QQcategoryZ6187QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Man, I've got to take the plunge and get a set of triples.

Aaah another of Smokey Nagata's Frankenstein projects. I wish he would run one in the Silver State Classic with Dai.

Awesome!

Few choices in life worth making are easy, no reason to look back...right?

I'm sure someone would be interested in it, it's just a function of whether or not they'll give you what your interest is in it. It would be a shame to see so clean a chassis go to the crusher or worse.

Go to hybridz.org, register and do a search or just cruise the L-series forum, there's a ton of info there on different turbo setups for L-engines.

I'm curious to see if it goes. There was a Roadster up for auction at the Mitty, don't know if it sold or not.

Link no worky.

No one bid on it, wonder if it will get relisted.

No bids with 7 hours to go. Wish I had $15K I could put into it.
