Help! SU carbs...(of course) idle is at 1800 can't bring it down....
I think you should find a good rebuild able set, buy the kit from ztherapy.com that comes with the DVD for general instructions. I love videos but the only way for me was the hands on approach. You clean them as you go, make sure and keep the parts separate to the front and rear, wipe them down with this stuff and you'll be happy. BTW, how deep have you already gone with the EFI? That's something to consider in my opinion. That's why I have a set of SUs mounted on the wall in my garage. I replaced my whole EFI system before I bought a 240 and fell in love with the carbs. I'm sure you seen this but I'll post it again.

Inexpensive Garage Lights From LED Strips
We use the LED "tape"? around cooler doors at the restaurant. Looks great too. Easy to apply.

COVID-19
I've quit worrying. My state is red one day and green the next. The testing yo-yos too much for me. I wonder how stringent the testing is in Alaska. Alabama, none.

Wow! That was a pita. I'm using my phone and forgot to lower the pics mb's. Anyhow I will get whatever you need tomorrow. I have to cook dinner then beat the dog. Cliff- Subfloor mounting method?

NippI'ma do a photo dump for now starting from the rear. This car is in a cocoon and of course the battery was dead so I had to get down in there. I can answer questions when this K4 kicks in. The 3 hinges are riveted on the foward peice and phillips head screws on the rear section. Those tool bins are not accessible on my raised deck 280 like my 240. You can see them under the board but I had to unscrew the cargo straps to lift the board to photograph them. There's a long piece of chrome trim that holds the carpet down above those bins.- Subfloor mounting method?
I'll get you loaded down with pics when I get home. About an hour?- COVID-19
Okay @Zed Head this is blatant sarcasm. No brains required. It's pretty funny. https://www.tmz.com/videos/2020-11-21-112120-brian-williams-4888195/- Subfloor mounting method?
I can add to your Hoover file. I remember the thread from @grantf in 2011. Here's his pictures that might help the OP. There's actually 3 hinges but a long piano hinge would also work. Any how here they are.- HELP!! 72 240Z + 280ZX CR TRANSMISSION + 88VLSD DIF = DRIVE SHAFT?
About half way down they talk about driveshafts and where to get one. https://www.datsunzgarage.us/borg/ Powertrain Industries Eh, that doesn't come up on mine. Too old I guess?- Subfloor mounting method?

Mine did that after I rebuilt the motor and put everything back together. I got the linkage flats beside the carbs in the wrong order. Shot up to 3K at start up. Here's a picture you can double check yours to. Good luck.- 1973 Rebuild

I used a black pvc glue on my console and was very happy with my results. I cannot say for sure for your problem but many have used the same. You have to stay on it as far as the texture and finish. I was happy with my work when finished. Hopefully you can get the same results.- 355-Mile 1976 Datsun 280Z Up for Auction on BaT!
I agree 100%. I just hope we can stay somewhat informed on this remarkable car. I don't know if Nissan has an American museum but this one deserves a spot for sure.- saturday night music thread
I've spent a lot of time at that track. My Dad carried me to the time trials on Friday, skipping school. When I got my license he could drink some beers and let me be the designated driver. That was funny! I raced at the motorcycle track down there we called Little Tally. It was the w.e.r.a series. I ran a gsxr 750 and won a couple but the crack dealers won mostly. More money, better bikes. I've done the ride around twice and it was like $100 each time. It amazed me how steep those turns are going in. Some back up driver with a passenger's seat in the car about 160, 175mph. When I was younger the infield was wild as hell. Unbelievable what they used to do inside. Dunebuggys, falling down drunks were everywhere. Amazing what a lawsuit can change. Those were the 200mph and over days. Bill Elliott was the king then.- saturday night music thread
You're a lucky man! Err...a hard worker. Nonetheless I'm jealous! 6 acres is a whole neighborhood where I live. Keep on keeping on! Oh about let's see a picture of that brown Z? I liked the cat with the nuts stuck all over it, didn't look like he did though.- saturday night music thread
I'll tell you Mr Racer, you're really digging deep into our forum. I got a LIKE from 2017! I appreciate that even though I know you're bored and quarantined but hats off to you for reading all the old stuff. I read as much as I can on here because these cars are close to my heart. My Dad used to take my keys away every time I looked at him wrong. Then I turned 17 and bought a '76 for $1,000 and put it in my Mom's name (they divorced when I was a baby) and gave him the keys to my Camaro and told him to shove them up his arse. One of the best things I ever did! He respected me a lot more after that plus I got bit by the Zeeee. Hang in there, Ms Racer will be home in......another month.- 355-Mile 1976 Datsun 280Z Up for Auction on BaT!
$140,000 seems about right to me, fair price for the seller and buyer. Congratulations @brunodoggy - Subfloor mounting method?
