Went out to start the Z about 9:00am, battery was dead. 4:00pm battery was charged, but to late to take it out for a spin. Pulled it back in the garage,

Got my brake booster apart, to bad the diaphragm was torn up a bit in the process of restoring the thing.

Nothing!

A rare day indeed.')

Wrote up an analysis to the aforementioned dyno testing: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?43323-260Z-Dyno-testing-exhaust-system-analysis-with-pics-and-videos&p=372877#post372877

Also in the process of installing a header!

Learning how to use my Caswell copycad kit. One carb down one more to go. Blue, the write up you did on the carb dis-assembly and reassembly helped alot, Thanks.

Finished installing Nissan Motorsports header yesterday and today I drove to the exhaust shop 25 minutes away from the house. Loudest drive of my life and I forgot the ear plugs... :stupid:

The twice pipe exhaust that I've been waiting for is on the horizon!

Also, my hub adapter finally came in so I can finally mount my Momo.

How did the twice pipes turn out????

How did the twice pipes turn out????

It was like I was a kid on Christmas again, only better!!! They sound fantastic, not too loud for me and there's less drone on the freeway. It's got that distinct twice-pipe braaap sound to it, and combined with the induction noise of the Webers, the engine plays a mechanical symphony. Don't worry, when I have some time I'll make a thread on the exhaust build (with video of course)!

Leon,

Did you go with the twin glasspacks?

Yes, twins in the tranny tunnel and at the end, so that's two per each pipe. I'm really busy, but I promise I'll make a thread soon!

Took a leisurely drive to the fuel station. Topped it off & added STA-BIL. On the way home I was stopped by a neighbor who retores old Land Cruisers. He had not seen a 240Z in many years. Fondly recalled his years with early Toyotas and Datsun. Came home and tightened the negative battery cable terminal. Too hot to do anything else.
