I split this to a new thread because it was hijacking the intent of my original post. But, I will look for the code to see what changed. HybridZ is using the same software (thanks to yours truly) but they are still on the old version. They will likely update that site. I suspect there is a cookie policy change for guests, meaning the new 'internet' GDPR rules won't allow us to store cookies until someone accepts the terms and conditions. The old software did this without requiring strict acceptance. In order for the system to know where you left off, a cookie must be stored on your computer. Otherwise it has no idea who you are and where you were at during the last visit.

Without it, a person has to find the place to click and click multiple times, plus scrolling to the bottom of the page, to get to the new post at the end of a multi-page thread. Going to the first post of a three page thread is pointless if you've already seen the three pages. If you're on a "phone" it's swipe swipe swipe, touch, swipe swipe swipe. It's why the software developers created the "X hours ago" link. That is its purpose. Go directly to the new stuff. It's odd that it doesn't work on CZCC. You were using the same platform as Hybridz. You can jog over there and check it out. https://forums.hybridz.org/discover/

The only option that guests can click is "Topics Last 24 Hours" which is shown here. When I click on a forum post in that list, it does look like the link takes me to the first post in the thread. I'll have to do some digging into the code to see what changed and provide a possible fix. Why do you think this is an important feature?

I have one that is not installed. Let me know what pictures you would like.

Click on X hours ago - go to post that happened X hours ago Click on title of thread - go to first post in thread This how most other forums work, across the internet. This is how CZCC used to work, logged in or not. We've all become used to this format. Something changed when you started customizing.

What do you think it should do?

Just stopped by the site not logged in to see what's up. Clicked on the "1hour ago" link, took me to the first post in an 18 reply thread, clicked on the "18 replies", took me to the first post in an 18 reply thread. This is most likely the major factor in the big drop off in activity. You can see from the main page that most people don't stay logged in. There's only five signed in right now. But 135 others (don't really know what that last one means) who also can't easily get to the new stuff. Just trying to help. You can try to change the behavior of the masses or you can make the site easier to use for them. Carry on...

I had it connected and it was working, but it malfunctioned twice (after the engine was warm), causing the engine to "idle" at like 2800 rpm. So, I took out the adjusting screw, which keeps it from operating on the linkage. Perhaps I will hook it back up again and troubleshoot the issue. And I noticed that the on blip, the AFR "nearly instantly" went rich. That is certainly good, as it shows the carb is working like it has an accel pump circuit. That tells me I could experiment with a higher weight oil than the 10W-30 I have in there now.

I really got into following the Peking to Paris Rally when Chris Bury and his father built a car for the rally.

A great link to the cars located at the Heritage Museum in Japan. INCLUDING many safari cars. https://www.nissan-global.com/EN/HERITAGE_COLLECTION/fairlady_z.html

Wanted to share and archive this great article from The Gentleman Racer. Datsun 240Z Rally CarsbyMichael Satterfield 6 years ago 2 mins read We stopped in to visit the Datsun 240Z Rally Cars at the Nissan Heritage Center in Japan; for more from our visit to Japan, CLICK HERE. In the early 70s, Nissan wanted to make a splash in the international sports car world with its new 240Z; while famous road racing teams like BRE were becoming a force in SCCA racing, much of the world saw Rally as the ultimate test of a car’s endurance, so from 1970-1973 Nissan backed factory rally teams in some of the most grueling and prestigious races in the world. Rally had been dominated by European cars like the Volkswagen Beetle, Peugeot 404, Mini Cooper, and Ford Escort for over 20 years. However, Nissan and their Datsun 240Z Rally Cars would be the first Japanese manufacturer to challenge the old guard and win. Nissan’s first overall win was at the Safari Rally in 1970, with the Datsun 1600 SSS Rally car driven by Edgar Herrmann and Hans Schüller. They repeated their success in 1971 in a Datsun 240Z rally car. Nissan would be the first manufacturer to win back-to-back victories in Over-All Victory, Class Victory, Team Victory, and Manufactures Championship at the Safari Rally. In 1972, Mitsubishi won with their new Lancer 1600 GSR, but Shekhar Mehta and Lofty Drews brought home the win again for Nissan in 1973 in a Datsun 240Z rally car. While East Africa is hot, dusty, and wild, Monte Carlo is a completely different kind of rally, teams start from nine different European cities for the first stage headed to Monte Carlo, from there the stages take the teams from the coast of the Mediterranean into the hills of the French countryside. The final stage is a 12-hour overnight race through the icy roads of the Alps. The ice and darkness make it one of the most difficult stages in the world of rally racing. The first year Nissan finished 2nd in class and fifth overall, in 1972 Nissan saw a podium with a third overall finish, and in 1973 the team finished ninth overall. It wouldn’t be until 1990 that a Toyota Celica GT-Four ST165 would bring an overall win at the Monte Carlo Rally home to a Japanese manufacturer. The Southern Cross Rally ran from 1966-1980 and was held in New South Wales. Australia was an important export market for Nissan and the factory had been supporting motorsports since the mid-50s, so it was no surprise that the Datuns 240Z rally campaigned Down Under. The rally started in Hyde Park, Sydney, and followed the coastline towards Port Macquarie. The bulk of the stages were at night with just two daylight stages, the total distance of the race in 1972 was just under 2,000 miles. Dan White has an amazing album of period photos, including lots of great shots of the Datsun 240Z. You have to check out HERE. While Nissan 240Z never won the Southern Cross overall, in 1971, Datsuns took fifth and sixth overall, and in 1972, the team took first in class and second overall. 1973, the best a Datsun 240Z rally could muster was an eighth place overall. Nissan later dominated the Southern Cross from 1977-198,0, winning overall victories with the Datsun 710 and Stanza rally cars. Today, many of the original rally cars are kept in the Nissan Heritage Collection at the Zama Operation Center in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. The collection can be visited most days between 10 AM-12 PM and 2 PM-4 PM, and there are only 40 visitors at a time. You must make an appointment to tour the collection.

Oh, and about that short rich spike when you blip the throttle on a downshift? I see that as your dampers working and doing exactly what they are designed to do... Provide a short term enriching of the mixture when the throttle plates are opened. Just like an accelerator pump would do.

Carbs do unusual things (and typically unwanted things) fully closed at high manifold vacuum. The typical thing the SU's do is go very rich though, not very lean. So how about you put a vacuum gauge on it and drive around a little with it connected? Maybe you are looking for a vacuum leak. And... Do you have the throttle opener device installed, connected, and working? It's only job is to prevent the carbs from doing unwanted things at very high manifold vacuums.

Thanks @Captain Obvious - little late is better than never I guess! But I did check the springs yesterday vs. a spare one I have and I checked the dampers. Both of the springs appear to be original and in good condition. They are the same free standing height as the spare one I have. I bought a carburetor rebuild kit from ZcarDepot a while back. The diameter of the brass barrel on the old dampers was not measurably different from the one of the new dampers that came with the kit. Interestingly, the barrel heights are shorter on the new dampers... and the distance they move on the stick is larger. And the new sticks don't have oil height marks. I choose to stay with the original dampers and springs. I changed the oil from straight 20 weight to 10W30 because I have that on hand and then went our for a few more AFR checking runs. Here is what I am looking at when letting off the throttle. This is cruising in 4th, then a rev match downshift to 3rd with throttle completely shut shortly thereafter for decel. From around 14.7 at cruise, when I blip the throttle to rev match, the mixture changes to around 12, but with the throttle plates shut entirely, after a second or so, the AFR starts to climb quickly, spiking north of 22. Unsure what that drop in AFR is at 9 seconds - I may have touched the throttle briefly. here is a lot of popping out of the exhaust during any overrun like the above. It seems odd that with the mixture looking pretty good under idle and cruise, and not far off under power that I am experiencing this. I will check for leaks at the carb manifold next, as maybe air is bypassing the carbs under high manifold vacuum conditions.

Obvious questions of course! ;)

Other than that anomaly in third gear, I think the numbers look excellent. My understanding is that you WANT to run a little rich at WOT, and from watching the engine experts on "Engine Masters", I believe that 12 would be great. In general, the it seems the desired conditions are: A little rich at idle (because engines never want to run at idle, so you reward their good behavior with a little more fuel). A little lean at cruise (because you can, and gasoline is expensive). A little more than a little rich at WOT with 12 being just about ideal (because the extra fuel helps keep cylinder temps down which helps prevent pre-ignition). I'm no expert, but that's what I've gleaned from listening to people who claim to be. Now that anomaly in third gear... That's concerning. I remember asking a bunch about fuel delivery earlier. And just to be annoying, I remember asking about dampers and springs earlier as well. Haha!! 😄

I’m looking for someone who may have a hand throttle cable. I would like to reproduce one but hoping that I could get some detailed pictures and would really like some measurement's of the outside housing length and inner cable length. Let me know if you can help….thanks

Thank you, yes that is what I was looking for

Is this what you're looking for? Here's a couple more pics
