This Z is nucking futs!!! -
thinking about it i prefer your trailer wheels wanna put those back on ? Gives you that drifter look -
did you put them on Sulio? or photoshop these? it's hard to tell but they look good a really good style on the Z. You should remove that pinstripe but for copyright reasons .
-
Weren't you going a gold color? Changed your mind? -
Yeah it's funny the Z looks very long because of it's bonnet but in actual fact it's not that long. By today's standards cars have changed and compact cars are common so the Z doesn't look that small but I bet in the early 70's they were pretty small cars compared with some of the yank tanks . -
Oh btw do you know if your running a points distributor or an electronic distributor?
-
I'd love a pair of externally adjustable illuminas does anyone know where to get them in Australia or wanna take a guess on shipping from the US? I'm guessing $300+ for shipping.

Okay well how old are the spark plugs in general? If those plugs have been dropped in the past or just old they would not work the same and could misfire etc.. How about the distributor cap does it have small cracks in it look underneath and check each point aswell are they worn down? Spark leads are not likely the culprit but that could be another cause get a multimeter and check their resistance. If they are the two lower compression cylinders then do a valve adjustment first if not improvement it's more than likely the rings are shot. Fill those cylinders with some oil and redo a compression test if you have an improved reading you know the problem.

You can paint the plastic ones and remove them at night time.

Hi there Carl offered sound advice but I don't think replacing the carb body is necessary they should be able to re-hone the are that the throttle linkage sits in and either find a replacement linkage or machine it to fit with no leaks. Were you referring to the balance tube when you say bushings? In terms of compression you might be able to adjust the valve clearances and that could correct the problem. I haven't heard of fouling caused by badly adjusted valves I'd say that's more to do with poorly adjusted carbs. What color are the plugs? Are they black and oily or just black? Let us know.

I don't have 1 spare . I found the Nissan Car Simulator game for PC in my archives but not sure if i should upload here as it would be copyright. Not that half the images on this site arn't already . It's not a good game but it does have old Skool Datsuns

sad to see I hope someone has patience and time and brings her back to life! -
There was a nice red 260z fitted with that kit for sale not too long ago maybe a couple of years. It was based in NSW I was considering travelling up to see the car and possibly buying it but it never happened. At least it's a subtle kit.
-
I wanted to attempt it myself aswell however i don't have the right equipment to get in and around the Nissan logo easily enough but I can at least practice on 1 of the 4 valve covers i have
-
The testarossa is pink though I'd rather see that destroyed
-
I really like the Compomotive wheels you can actually see the drums unlike my Superlites which dont' have long enough spokes. How much were these wheels and where are they from? -
Looks very smart now she just needs a lowering job . -
I'd be intereted in the 44's at some stage let me know.
-
Looks like it's in similar condition to number 27 hey Chris

which is vBulletin Version 3.0.3

I love it looks great i'd put that on my rear windscreen -
What are they ? They look like Watanabe's but not quite they could be minilites or Superlites but I guess that's why I'm asking I'm not sure what they are? -
They definately work on the Z. I bought some bullet mirrors off a mustang and I think they look great. -
Are you the new owner?
