June 9, 201311 yr comment_425174 Hi, I'm new to this brand.Welcome.New 260z owner I know a lot about cars...but old Chevys. I never worked on a datsun before, but I've always loved the car, so I finally bought one. The previous owner said it ran good, but had a leaky carb, so it got rebuilt. However, the problem is that he left the turbo carb exhaust intake all disconnected. I think I figured out how it goes on. The problem is that I need all the bolts and nuts to install everything. Is there anywhere you can buy them? In its stock configuration, a 260Z had dual Hitachi carburetors that were a modification on the Skinners Union (SU) design. There was no turbocharger. There have been many turbocharger kits on the market. Are there any sort of identifying marks on the manifold to indicate its manufacturer?Also I noticed it has one of those filter canisters that has a lot of vacuum hoses connected to it. Can I just cut that out and plug the hoses? I'll pass on addressing this.And I noticed the key I have only turns the ignition and driver side door. Am I missing a key and if so what's the best way of fixing that??Pay a locksmith.To learn more about your car, download a copy of the factory service manual (FSM). The link is below. It can help you identify what the previous owners have modified.
