3RD STRIKE

I am from alabama so we dont have to have emission parts on our cars. But when i got my z it did have emission control on it,but since i use it to drag race only i took all of the emision stuff off of it and it runs fine. So if it is a daily driver i would put the emisions header on it, but if it is just a toy i would not use emision control parts on it. The choice is yours,either way it will run fine. The question is, TO B OR NOT TO BE LEGAL!!!

If ezzzzz isn't able to get you the part you need, give me a pm. I have one in the garage.

Hey Warren, I have read all the posts on your prob. ann the one thing i havent seen a comment on is the fuel pickup screen in the tank. I had a prob. simular to yours. First off I have a fuel injected l28. So this may not help you. But mine started starving for fuel @2500-3000 rpm,s. When i found the prob. it turned out to be the the fuel pickup strainer in the tank. I took it out & replaced and it worked fine. That is 1prob I had w/fuel sys. The other prob. I had was the exact same situation, I rebuilt the engine and it took me about a year to get it back together. When i got it running I had the same prob. again . I never really figured out what the prob. was that time ,but this is what i did. It had a fuel cell in it but i had took it out an put the factory tank back in while it was tore apart ,so i blew all of the fuel lines out,installed a new fuel cell, and a glass fuel filter in. Ichanged all of this at one time so im not sure what fixed it. I think it was the venting line off of the tank.

PM sent.

Check your fuel pressure to see if it is enough to run .Spray carb cleaner around carb base and manifold to check 4 air leaks. Also if your car has vent lines on the tank, you could have some thing in your lines that restricting your fuel, so you still even might be getting enough pressure but not enough volume. Is it possible the carbs need rebuilding? Remember if it,s getting fuel ignition,air, it should run. Ive had the same symtoms on my z, but it,s fuel injected so i dont think it will help you w/your prob, It was the fuel pump. I had two pumps that seemed to work fine, but i tested them and one was surging, I also blew all off the fuel lines out, and it works fine now. Its going to be something simple and stupid. Good luck. Let me know if u figure it out.

So how much hp does it take to run 200 mph anyways? Where the hell can you drive 200mph in a street car? I origanally thought it was a horse power issue. But now that i think about it, porshe made a 944. Any thoughts ?

Yepper,s thats the clip allright. I kinda thought that it might be a gtr or a knock off of the gtr. But i dont know that much about the new gtr, so i didn,t want to comment on it. All so i dont believe half of what i see on nopi. I have been to 2 NOPI events and it wasn,t that impressive. (they didn,t have the first original datsun z car,just one w/350 auto.) I was just curious to know if any one else had seen this or if there was an article of this b.s Thanks for the clip.

Is datsun coming back? I was watchtng nopi tuner vision last night and saw what seemed to be a 350z. But it had twin turbo,s-(NOT SURE IF THEY ARE OEM OR NOT) and it had Datsun and 950 z emblems, Also briefly showed what seemed to be window sticker of $100,000. Has any one else heard of this?

Quick ? If the header is leaking loud enough that u can hear it, Wouldn,t it backfire when u let off of the throttle? :stupid:

Thanks 4 the tip, How ever i do have a spare set. All though i dont care to use them. I decided to back it down last night. I did some testing with it and it and because of the humidity she fell of of the power band a little. I was still pulling pretty good @6,700. after that she fell on her arse. I have a little more work to do before i go back to the track. I promise i,ll try keep it under 6,000. Thats hard to do in this car cause its too much fun.

It ran well. Maybe to well. The suspension is a little to stiff, it kept over powering the track. Tried all sorts of launching from 800 rpm,s -3500 . Best et was 10.12 w/no traction. Last time i went to the track w/original suspension and motor was a little weaker, best et was 9.70 through the 1/8. Some thing else i noticed is that the track is a lot slicker than the street in front of my house he he. So sticky,s here i come!!! Gonna test out the supra next week!!

I have a few, It has a full flow tech exaust system w/flowtech header readies,aluminum flywheel,brass clutch,tranny swap,super coil,taylor 8mm. wires,I took the clutch fan off and installed an electric fan in its place,eliminated power steering, to take drag off of the motor and replaced the gas tank w/a fuel cell. And i replaced the restricted exaust manifold w/a big belly manifold. and also cold air. Thats about it. Thats all i can afford right now.

Not really, I had suspension issues and he car really strained when it hit 7000- 7500 rpms. How ever it would tack up a little more on a cool night. But I resolved the suspension issue and without doing any thing else to the engine it will hit 8000 rpms without a problem and still pulling pretty good. Oh yea, in case you are wondering, this is just a track car. I WISH I COULD DRIVE IT EVERY DAY! But the suspension wont allow it.

Thats about normal for this car, usually i push about 7,500-7,800. I replaced the rockers today and it seems to be ok. I did pull the head and there was no visable piston/valve damage that i could tell. Taking her to the track tomorrow, I guess i will find out if its fixed. I will post results.
