Has anyone had any experience or tips for tuning these carbs for specifically for racing? I recently bought a ITS prepped 260z with the flat tops. All the emission stuff is plugged and the choke removed. The car has EGTs which show about 1100F at WOT on the straights. Last weekend we had a test and tune day at Oregon Raceway Park. The track is at about 2300ft elevation and the temperature was in the low 40 to mid 40's that day. We pulled the carbs and measured the needle at 45mm. We tried moving the needle to 45.5mm, 46.5mm and backwards to 44mm. EGTs still read 1100F except for the 44mm which was at 900F. Tomorrow we're planning to check the valves and do a compres…

As of Jan 1st, 2012, what is the latest permissible helmet allowed for SCCA autocross? You're allowed to go back 2 'generations' so I think it's 2000? Does anyone know when Snell will come out with the next set of helmet standards? It seems about every 5 years...

It took more than 7 hrs to sort out the 300ZT from the 280ZXTT parts, transport it to the garage and unload all this. Next stop California. The 280ZXTT and lots of spares is still available.

Does anyone have an autocross "logbook" or access to one? I have read about them a little, but the descriptions are somewhat vague. Can I ask for a sample of an actual document (a spreadsheet or whatever) or a picture of a page? I could probably design my own, but until I know what all goes on the page(s), I can only guess, and I would probably leave out a lot of important stuff. thxZ

This was posted on the prodracing forum. Even though it's about a Jaguar, it is Z-car related and perhaps you guys might find it interesting. Nissan of course dominated the SCCA CP championships through the 70's but 1980 was the first that got away from them. The article is a bit biased, but assuming the info is true, I found the "DH" claim to be appalling. Here's the original URL: http://www.jtc-nj.com/jagcorner/GTJNo19.html

I was hoping somebody here could help identify the manufacturer of the clutch that I just pulled out of my ITS 240Z. The pressure plate is trashed so I am looking to find a new one. There are no stampings anywhere on the clutch and the clutch is all aluminum. It kind of looks like the Tilton clutches I have seen but not exactly. Anybody have any ideas?

Hi guys, anyone one guide me in the right direction on obtaining either a pair or just one period late 60's or early 70's race harness? Something similar to these. Just want something more in keeping with the era than most harnesses out there. Doesn't have to be of a Japanese car specifically either.
