Hey guys, Just wondering if theres any 260z owners out that would give me some input if my car is running right. On a strait away i can barly get this car above a 100mph...I know somthing is deffinalty wrong B/c when you open the glove box u see the tire pressure Recommendations ... Over 100 and under 100../.. yea this is Definitely tellin me somthing is wrong.. In the car im runin a L28 engine out of a 280z with a 4 speed tranny.. as for the carbs go i have an earlyer set off off SUs out of a 71' 240z...Also as in regards to Mpg.. im getting under 20 mpg. Is that normal? i know this car needs a tune up... Thanks, Steve Z you later...

hey I know where i can find a fairladyz emblem , but where would i find just a fairlady emblem? also what about the side fenders behind the front wheels? im thinking the datsun script of of a 240z ( where is says datsun in a slant... those look way better then the 260z emblems... thanks, Steve

kk that helps. I think i'll just go with the fair lady z... thanks, Steve also,, im trying to post pic.s but it wont work.. i hit sumit and nothing happens bit it goes in to the 'ERROR 'page

i have the holes there . Im just wondering how it went or how it read ? llike Datsun fairladyz underneath 260z .. is that right?

howdy, I have a 1974 260z and it currently has no fender and rear emblems. I love the name of the fair lady emblems and i was wondering the correct placment of it... as in the rear deck lid. Any help would be great! Z you later, Steve

hi.. im putting on a set of webbers on my 73 " 240z.... old ones went bad.. what do i do with all the extra the vacume lines and vent lines. that are still there...there seems to be a main water line underneath the carbs..my cannon intakes have no unders piping to link the hose with the other side... theres also a ton of other hoses.. thanks,, steve Long live the Z

hi,, i i wrote a post earlier about parts for the dual webber conversion..i have all the parts but my only problem is what to do with all the old hoses and hookups that went from a the engine to the Su's and visversa ....it looks like theres hoses that run through the carbs and off to the other side..do u cap those or link them together,,, also what about all the link up ports along the intake manual. All the help i could get would be great... thanks, steve Long live the Z
