Well i don't know the years but i know the manifolds when i see them. They are good for porting out and if you fit them with bigger injectors they work really well. As I say im not sure which year is good i just don't work on ZX's often enough. There is also a really good distributor off a ZX which i'm still not sure what year it is off. I would like to find out for myself so I can get more of them. I don't have it handy with me at the moment to give a part no. Sorry i can't be of more help but I have seen a few people on Ebay in the US selling ported out manifolds and bigger throttle boddies and custom fuel rail kits that looked like they would work really well.

I respect the idea but since you already have F.I I think you should stick with it. There are certain year(s) of E.F.I on 280z's and ZX's that are better set up's than others and you can get your Z going just as well as on carbs if not better with F.I. There will be a whole heap of wiring you will need to remove from your loom and it could get very confusing very quickly. Just my opinion.

Great cars there Mike were you a member on zdriver.com? I recall seeing your gunmetal grey Z in the past. Could you enlighten me where the Gnose came from? It looks to be a good reproduction one of the better ones I've seen. I think the Sr20 in a C110 is a great idea to keep the weight down and it would certainly put some air under the ol' girls skirt .

Andy if all responses were as well thought and constructed as yours this place would be even better.

Love the suspension set up

I have not had a problem since it's funny but to be honest I haven't had a chance to take a look either. I will do shortly just been busy

It's 3PSI of course it won't work on F.I that would only be suitable to a carb'd Z. You definately need to return it provided you haven't damaged it and get your money back. I wouldn't accept that for sure but then again I never take what a retail monkey says as literal I am always skeptical about it and double check.

Im glad I held off posting. I could have said something vain . Seriously my Z has never been about the cost of building it or the money I'd get back if I "WERE" to sell her. It's been about completing a project and improving the car aethetically and mechanically and doing a job of the upmost highest standard. Then just enjoying the ride!

The answer is simple we need to all pull our fingers out and start putting our Z's into competitions and winning against these MGB's and Torana's. Problem is the Z did well in competition in it's day but not really in Australia. They raced a 2+2 at Bathurst then pulled the plug. Shame really but things are changing and Z's are becomming more sort after.

You'd consider swapping precious for that Toad! YUK!

I believe as owners it's our responsibility to set the mark in terms of price. I valued mine at $10,000 when i insured it but to be honest if I remove the rust in the doors I'll say it's worth $12,000. We need to start increasing the prices that's just it alot of people are getting into the Z as a performance car for rally events, racing you name it. It won't be long before the Z will increase and cost far more than any old XU1 piece of junk Torana yuk! Some of the Zeds in VicZcar are of exceptional quality and the more Z's like that around that are built to the same quality the higher these cars will start to demand. Alfa now is an ideal time to buy a Z while you still can on a shoe string budget.

yes great photos I'd like good copies of them all perhaps when we finally meet.
