Not sure. It was a Camel GT race.

Rainin’

Who’s Geoff?

Yes. Martin Schneider... The MS in MSDS.

Well, Peter Brock is an engineer and you argue with an engineer at your own peril. So if he says don’t do one without the other, you should listen. Pic of my front BRE for fun... it’s glassed to the valance. I have the original design rear, also glassed on.

Believe it or not, the company that manufactured the Datsun Competition Header is still around and the owner Marty Schneider is a friend. I can vouch for the quality too. I have the Datsun Comp headers on my Z and his 914 headers on my 914. Marty told me he can still build them. MSDS in the LA area...

Seems easier to just get a Harbor Freight hand pump and throw it out when you’re done...

My ‘73 has it. I’m certain they were stock.

Reduces value only at the upper end of the scale...

It’s Showroom Stock class...

A ZX in the lead. ‘81 CSPRRC Road Atlanta...

If it fits, I guess...

Steve, I have a new set of OEM studs in the E31 head. Help me though, ZCD?

Are you guys using anything special for intake/exhaust fasteners? I’m using a Datsun Motorsport header that has been on my car since the 70’s and a non-EGR L28 intake that has been extrudehone’d. The EFI will be controlled by a Haltech Elite 2500. I was going to just order some new fasteners from the ZStore but I thought I’d ask here first...

Sad one...

Everything properly maintained, the Z engines don’t run too hot. This doesn’t include racing. 1/2 an hour of WOT will cook anything that isn’t properly modified and maintained. I think the F54 was designed for the turbo but used for everything. That’s just smart. Turbo engines just run hotter. Having owned Z cars most of my life, they are plenty entertaining without monstrous power. Jeff has 200hp and I’m sure he falls asleep with a smile after race weekends. I’m using a Rebello built 3.0 which I dynoed at 276 at the wheels. My kid who drives a 944 Turbo is afraid to drive it...
