awesome! i hope that my engine (after i build it) comes together as nicely as yours has

anybody ever do the conversion before? it would be interesting to see the outcome.

exactly

maybe a 12 step program would help

very good point, vicky. i plan on doing auto-x, so i think fi might be a little better for my plans. also, my SUs appear to be recently rebuilt, if not reasonably new (aka bad adjustments). however, carb systems are more straight to the point. my biggest beef right now is the dependability issue. i like starting my car in the morning and my carbs aren't doing that for me right now. i'm going to adjust my carbs today after work and i hope i'll get the problem fixed.

i don't have $$ to invest in new carbs, but i plan on tuning mine today. it's just that i have a complete L28 w/ fi and i was just hoping that the fi system would be a little more dependable (i.e. cold starting) than my SUs edit: BTW, if anyone local (san diego) has the ztherapy vid i can buy, i would gladly pick it up. (not that i don't want to give ztherapy my $, i just want it asap!)

i was just wondering what you guys think of fi vs. carbs. i have a 72 240z with all of the little inconveniences of the SUs (inconsistency, trouble starting, etc.) and i just got a wrecked 280zx. i know that FI doesn't hold a candle to carbs for performance (without shelling out major dough), but overall what is better? the reason i ask this is 'cause my SUs are killin me. i had to catch i ride to work today 'cause my carbs are jacked up again.. -jason edit: i DID do a search and i couldn't find a similar thread, but i could have just missed it.

greeeeeaaaaaaat.... thx

thx guys. i'll try adjusting it when i get off work.

thx for the replies, and it is the fresh air vents.... as for removing the heater panel, i tried it but it seems like it's stuck. are there some other things keeping it in besides the four screws? edit: oh ya, the reason that i need to get to the gauges is that my temp gauge isn't working. i checked the sensor and it's not that, and i was just wondering if there was anything else (electrical?) that could be causing it to not work (besides it being unplugged)

am i crazy? i can't seem to get my hood to fit right. it's about 1 cm up from the fenders (just in the front). anyone???

hey all... i'm a newbie to Zs and i have a couple questions. i just purchased a '72 240 and i was wondering how i can remove my temp/oil gauge and plug it back in. also, there are a couple knobs under the dash that i have no idea what they're for. they are on either side of the car (driver/passenger) and i've been scratching my head over them. i figured they were for air vents but i'm not sure....

y0 dawg! gotsa put dat phat azz body kit on y0! j/p that second coversion was pretty nice looking, but i'm gonna have to go with the stock style... much more purdee

just by looking at it it kinda resembled a stanze maybe?? i dunno, just guessin..
