www.google.com and type in weber carburetors or redline and you will find a wealth of informantion

but very limited to what the carburetor can put out. its easier to do with fuel injection and worth the work. i definetly wouldnt be doing a carbed turbo. its just not worth it.

i dont think you could have gone wrong. like the others said, if its what you like then hey its great. i like the turbo ZX's. someone in here had said something about the snowflake wheels and it is true they were only for this model year and really rare you may want to hold onto them. good buy to me

the best fit would be 215 60 14

and i need facts and something to back it up with ie something to site. ok here is the scenario 78 280Z stock trim. 90+ 300ZX stock trim both running in optimal condition. both cars are n/a cars what would it take for the 280Z to beat the 300ZX how much hp and what would have to have been done to make this happen. oh btw the 280Z is using SU carbs.

but i did have dell ortos really nice carburetor easy to adjust and work on and much smoother them webers

well i was having hell of a time getting my car to run right yesterday. so i decided to go all out today and get it straight today so what i did was take both carbs completely apart and just went at it cleaning and getting all the gunk out cleaning every lil bit of the gunk on the outside of the carbs at the adjusters turned everything back to square one. adjusted the float levels which were really out of whack well guess what put it all together . made a very small adjustment and voila shes running like a scalded dog agian. woo hoo well all is well in z land again. oh and i finally get my car well start to get it fixed this coming monday yayyyy

you know everyone says how easy these are to tune la di da di da. well i tell you what. i want a set of weber DVG's again. i never had this much hassle out of those. well anyway now that im done ranting. all i did today was use a lil bit of good ole carb cleaner on my carbs to clean them out. well now its running like ****!!!! i dont know why i didnt touch anything but the filters to shoot some spray inside. well its running really bad lots of popping out of the exhaust at hi rpms. pops out of the intake at low rpms. WTF!! i got it running a lil better. timing is dead on. pulled the plugs rear 3 plugs heavily fouled i mean black soot. #5 is somewhat fuel fouled 1 and 3 are good???????? well i was wondering if anyone could help. and give me a base line setting that i should start with these carbs to get them right. the idle screw ?? at the bottome of the carbs how many turns out to start from. enrichment screws on top i figure start out at 1.5 turns?? anyone i would really appreciate it . thanks james

if that were true then the car would be right hand drive. not left. and the second one a original 3.0 straight six thats just to funny. poeple really dont realize what they have

look at this one RARE factory sunroof huh????? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1853941685 i didnt know that you didnt have to buy the big bore kit from msa. just get yourself a 260Z is that why they were so rare 3.0 straight six original engines?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1853242862 i hate to make fun of other Z cars but this is rediculous. its more that the people that have then dont really know what they got sad actually:tapemouth

nothing special

i used to part time at Advanced Auto. we have the same tester guess what that thing is a piece of ****!!! doesnt really give you any definitive results. if you have an advanced auto parts in your town go to it. they have a really nice battery tester indoors that will charge the battery and retest it. they also have a real alternator tester inside. i agree with most when they say that it is the alt and reg have them checked it doesnt cost anything and its easy to do

thats for sure. not sure about the 240. big probs with width in the 240

going from la i took 40 most of the way. keeping your eyes open and ready for the road is the biggest problem. the main thing i think it is, is my love for driving. you must stay refreshed. thats a big thing. whenever i would feel tired, id go to the next rest stop. stretch a bit. go in wash my face and refresh myself. my favorite thing to have for some reason i guess its like a religion is drinking sobe drinks. from 40 there were small inbetweens then to 70 on home. i drove only about 6 hours the first night. the next day at 6am i left out to drive 17 hours each of the next two days. sleep time was about 4 hours a night max. i just dont really know. when i get out on the road like that i get supercharged. driving across country isnt for everyone. me though i love it. made a couple of trips from way down south florida to pa in 19 hours eheheeh. i guess i just get pumped up for the drive and go go go.. like i said its not for everyone. i would just feel funny with my car on a truck and worrying about it the whole time its coming home. i did ship one car threw a carrier to a individual i sold it threw on ebay. he said the car arrived about 7 days later without any problems. so he had a good experience . personally on that note i couldnt tell you.

hehe enough said Z me :stupid: fly

from la to pittsburgh 2547 miles. trust me its fun easy and no other better way to enjoy your car. plu you said 4 days???? it took me 44 hours over 2 and one half days. dont worry be happy enjoy it and do it.

here we go again. dont put a german made plug for german cars in your japanese car. that bosch plug is the biggest joke on the market one electrode and 4 tips. well geuss what, you only get one spark. to go to one place each time that plug is fired. you could have 20 tips it wouldnt make a difference. all it is is a gimmick to make you spend more money. plain and simple you have two choices of plugs NGK or Denso Iridium no other period end of it. if you want to use bosch parts get a BMW

18 inch wheels and the Z31 R 200 rear please contact me

if you know what teflon is or what it is commonly referred to as PTFE, just do a google search on the subject or that and internal combustion engine and ptfe or teflon. it is something that you dont want in your car. unless you want to take the chance of ruining it. me never use it never will good oils in my book petroleom(sp?) based, castrol, mobile synthetics only one that i use or like is mobile one oh i almost forgot your trusting the parts guy:finger: never ever trust the parts guy, he is there to sell you the highest priced part he can. not necessarilly the best for your car. i used to part time at a parts place. its funny how many people you see buying plugs that dont match there car. ie Bosch in mitsubishi's or nissans, autolites in toyotas, (though i think they make a good plug), its silly. NGK's were made for your car. split fires are a joke and do nothing for your performance or gas mileage. i had them in the Z i bought in cali, as soon as i got hom new NGK's. guess what nothing changed except it ran a little better and my mileage did not suffer. always remember this. a spark can only travel to one point at a time. thats why i think Bosch's +4's are the biggest joke on the market. but hey thats just me. people will glady throw away 5 bucks a plug just because someone says there good.

especially when you know you can beat someone. im not going to lie i have done it. im not alone or am im not to be called just as stupid for the same reason. i found the hard way out from a friend that met the side of concrete bridge because of the guy he was racing decided he wanted to pass in on coming traffic. car was coming and he cut my buddy off. luckily all he had were bruises and scratches. he could have been dead or threw the window. i takes control because i still want to race every now and then. when i still had my V8 Z, i did take it to the track and embarass a few individuals. my best run was 12.95 @ 105.75 mph. i guess what happens is you grow up see whats happening around you and realize that your not immortal anymore.

number one. drag racing is stupid period end of it. nmber two. castrol syntec is not sythetic oil. it is highly refined dyno oil. number three. SPLITFIRES:stupid: tell me you didnt say that. remove that garbage from your car before it spits them out at you. get NGK!!!!!!!! number four. you bought wires at wal mart???? now tell me what possesed you to do that.???? sorry about ragging but man o man. learn that your car deserves better.

i have to say that i do want the car and i was going to get it, but we have someone in our midst that is Zless i just cant see getting another Z when one of our brothers is without. it just brings a tear to my eye. so i will do my best to make sure that coastgaurd Z finally has one and gets to change is signature. :classic:

http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze3pqx7/rothm/index.htm 1000 or best offer. guy needs to get rid of it this weekend. i was thinking maybe if no one takes it i could snatch it up for about 850. it hasnt ran in over 10 years though:cry: but it lookes to be in great shape for the money. hehe get it running and resell it for my 71 r just start over again tell me your opinions. hey 2manyZ's you got the tow dolly ready ?????

you talked abou points of surface area i like this one because how much surface area do you think your getting at the inlet of your carbs or the inlet of your fi system it thats what your running. big hint no more then what is allowed in the engine from the intake side of the car. so i would guess that the carb inlet being about 1.75 inches in diameter at tops is all the surface area your getting. then your mentioning that foam may be better see carguyinok's post. foam sucks!!!. i had a 87 supra, got a hks foam filter that i paid over a 100 bucks for. guess what it took 3 weeks for that thing to get flithy and i mean filthy. wanna know something else. only took 2 months for it to fall apart and that was noticing this from the outside of the fliter since the HKS incident i have run nothing but K and N filters on all my cars. no one that i know that runs them has ever had a problem. that is ever. ive used them for eh bout 7 years now. i havent had one problem with them at all
