Z Cars at the 2021 Mitty: Friday Edition
The Z car count seemed to be down in the paddock and infield, possibly due to Covid along with the forecast of rain on Saturday, the most popular day for the Mitty. Here are most of the Z cars I saw today with a couple of Skylines and a 200SX thrown in for fun.

- A gorgeous green paint job
- New SS brake & gas lines
-New electric fuel pump
- Refurbished booster
- New rear drums
- New front disc brakes & rotors
- Refurbished heater
- Some interior work
- Dash installed
- Engine installed
- Trans and rear installed
- Fuel lines connected and tested electric fuel pump
- New wheels & tires from Bigwheels.net
- Brake fluid added and bleed brakes
- Lots of plumbing work done to eliminate all the pollution controls
- SU's installed & connected
- Roger made custom fittings to simplify and make the lines look great
- Ready to fire the engine. Had to go thru some gyrations to get the oil pump to start pumping oil.
- Fired up & it purrs like a kitten
- UV joints for half shafts installed
- All systems go, its now a running green machine.
- Back to the Body shop for the installation of the fenders, doors, windows, bumpers & hatch.
- Took some time to get all the parts back on but on Oct. 9 I took it out for a spin around the block
- Well the good news its all together, the bad news springs were installed at the wrong locations.
- So back down to RB Import to remove all 4 struct housings and swap the springs.
- RB welded the tailpipe extender in place looks good
- Well more news the left rear toe is off. Currently working on a solution.
- Sure does look pretty.

My “barn find Z”
We had to knock down a wall to get it out. The Z was put into storage in California in 1982 by its first owner, a military doctor. The doctor died and 13 years ago the car was retrieved by his nephew who stored it in his shop with a goal to get it back on the road. Life happened and the shop was expanded, the Z ended up walled in as a garage door was never built. Zero rust. This thing still smells new inside. The suspension bolts still have oem cadmium plating on them. You can still see the ink stamps of the factory inspectors from when new. This car is a true unicorn. I’ve never seen anything like it. It is as if it just rolled off the assembly line and into this guys workshop. It wouldn’t surprise me if this is the lowest mile mint original Z outside of an auto museum. The Car was too long to get it into the storage garage with all the rest of the items in storage and so the bumper was removed to shorten it a couple inches. It was stored due to the car developing fuel system issues. Mileage is 10383. ? . Vin RLS30-016834

280z project "ready to start sucking money"
This one will be a challenge to say least.
Lots of rust and a tore apart engine to start. Wish me luck, I'll need it and help from this village to make her one again.
cheers

I know a few people were following along on this- been a while since I last posted here- but finally all came together!
Mounted up and running strong! Still a few details to work out; but runs good, sounds good, feels good on the initial pulls. Super happy it worked out!

Well I decided to go for it -
Went with 42's and a TWM manifold. Still lots to sort out, but Ill start another thread on it somewhere and link it back here. Rought calculations hopefully put it in between an OER setup and a Mikuni PHH setup $wise.

I would probably do them in pairs, then each pair goes to a common shaft.
-
Part of running a single shared throttle shaft was for a super clean look- like how datsun_tokyo linked above has it.
I also still haven’t decided on the manifold- but was planning on the TWM one- seems to be the cleanest and allows me to run without all the linkages.
With that said I’m interested- I’ll shoot you PM.

I have common under mount bar mount I could sell you, with either teflon or brass bushings. You would need arms, but it would be the best for actually balancing them. Just a thought.

That car is one of the main reasons I’ve even considered this. I have been in touch with him- unfortunately the language barrier is tough. Might need to recruit an old autox friend who is in Tokyo now to translate. The owner of that car did express that he much preferred the HSRs over OERs and that he was never able to find the right tune with OERs. Looking back through his thread he had PHH 50s on there at some point - but that is a very built engine - 3.1 I think with custom head etc.
Did a little more digging and thinking on this last night - I think mechanically the hardest part will be the common throttle shaft - it looks like each carb has 3-5 holes on the shaft. 2 for pins for to hold the throttle stop and accelerator pump levers; at least 1 maybe 2 for the return springs; and the main threaded one for the slide lift. With some patience and precise measurements it’s shouldn’t be to terrible, but not a cheap if you mess one up and have to start over on a new stainless shaft.

For the sake of keeping this in the same thread. I found a little more info on the car in the photo- unfortunately it seems the owner passed away last year.
But this post on hybridz says he replaced his Weber 45s and actually saw better gas mileage and great throttle response
https://forums.hybridz.org/topic/64666-mikuni-hsr45/?do=findComment&comment=1229737
“I decided to try my own setup with 6 HSR45 Mikunis. I had previously run Weber 45's. I used the original linkage so that I could return to the Webers if I wasn't happy with Mikunis. Because of the shape of my extracters I had to add some extensions as The bowl of carb 4 was hitting the exhaust. Apart from that it was pretty straight forward with the carbs being quite straight forward to tune. The throttle response is very good and although I wasn't looking for it the mpg ismuch improved over the Webers.”
This of course does not help my decision process… on one hand it says to me it works! But on the other hand it makes me wonder if I should do 45s? I do believe it was a “built” engine but to what extent I don’t know.

Gave them a try - says they haven’t done a 6 pack on a Z. But need to follow up with a few questions
