  1. Got my calipers off the car - getting them cleaned up - getting ready for G2 caliper paint custom mixed for my 110 color. Should add a little color through the wheels.
  2. We all love our Z's because they are a part of our family............so, what are you getting your Z for Christmas? I'll getting mine some new chrome from Tri-County Plating on my front bumper and custom blend caliper paint from G2 to match my 110 body color. Merry Christmas to all!
  3. Just in case you have not read these two threads: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/carburetors-s30/41732-triple-mikuni-fuel-line-set-up.html http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/carburetors-s30/42045-wolf-creek-racing-mikuni-40s.html
  4. If you go into the Carb section (Mikuni) you will find lots of info - I would install one of these without a doubt just in case. Mounted my switch on the fire wall below the wiper switch. I did not pull the power from the pre ran wiring. Just in case I were to have an accident I wanted the power cut from the pump immediately! The Carter pump in a little loud at idle inside the car - but as soon as you go you can't hear it due to the music from the Mikuni's. Anymore I don't even listen to the radio - exhaust tone is the best! Google Image Result for http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/InertialSwitch.jpg/220px-InertialSwitch.jpg
  5. Mine is in the garage for the winter - wheels off - on 4 jack stands - getting ready to clean - paint - polish things. It's my second favorite time of the year...............naturally my first is the driving season! There are only 2 seasons per year, right? One is driving - and the other modding / polishing/ cleaning!
  6. Here is an interesting twist for cold air - a little stainless steel and a little fab time - could be a thought
  7. Just coordinated with the guys at G2. I gave them the PPG paint info for Red 110 for their custom color scheme if anybody wants to match their 110 body with their brake calipers.
  8. You could buy a 2 stage compressor - media blaster - nice quality sand and knock it out yourself for the upper end of that budget.
  9. Did you get the correct coil? Have you reverted back to points to see if the Pertronix could be faulty? Sounds like it was running before the Pertronix and now it's not. Keep digging - you'll find the culprit.
  10. Esprist - I was just visiting your e-Bay store yesterday - great items!
  11. It's snowing outside as I type - It's 17 degrees outside with the wind blowing 20+ MPH. I'm done for the year as well as the DOT salted the roads heavy today. Getting ready for winter projects after Christmas..............now the TV is rolling a Winter Storm Warning for my neck of the woods.
  12. Chris - Have you dyno'd yet - if you do let us know how they perform on and off - see if they make a difference. Do you have an AFR sensor? I have put my car up for the winter due to salt - if you still have yours out and know your stats let us know if these filters change anything
  13. Be sure to assume nothing - push out that old brake fluid, change all diff and trans fluids, personally I'd pull the radiator and have it rodded and boiled. Inspect the brakes and give it a good valve adjustment along with a solid tuneup. Start clean and enjoy the ride!
  14. Windshield wiper connection at the firewall is a must. Did mine a couple years back and now it looks brand new. Keep everything color coded and matching and it's easy as pie
  15. Chris - Great info and pic's. I'll grab a set of these on ebay and run with. My car only travels in great weather for maybe 2000 miles yearly. I'll keep my screens but for my annual trip with my son in our Z's this filter will be perfect - easy on and easy off.
  16. Chris Can you see any sunlight if held up to the sky on those? How dense are they? Did you order the 40 or 45 DCOE size? Thanks for the pic's. This may be the way I go on longer trips.
  17. Mine is Nissan 110 Persimmon red - light red/orange. It changes colors based on the light the car is under - bright sun brings out the orange - if it is a hazy day more on the red side. I wasn't sure if I would like it originally but now I wouldn't have it any other way. Tons of compliments anywhere I go on the car and the color.
  18. You can't go wrong with Dave Rebello in your corner! She is looking great!
  19. There is an important question here - are you working on this car to keep it - or - somewhere down the road you are planning to sell it for an investment? If you are keeping it since you have owned it since 1983 then do it the way you want to - if you are planning on selling it as an investment (I doubt this is the case seeing how you spent the $ on the body and paint - and the car is not worth that kind of money - much like mine) then make it the way you want it - be happy and enjoy every minute!
  20. I've been thinking of doing the same for easy on - easy off for go and show. Keep us posted with pics and feedback please. Is this the one that you guys purchased? 3 x Ramair Carb Sock Air Filters Triumph TR6 Wide Port 150BHP Weber 40 Dcoe | eBay
  21. Here is one with a cheaper price - interesting ducting on the pic as well: Datsun Z Triple Weber Conversions and F.I. Conversions
  22. Chris This may be the best route to take - I'm thinking seriously about one. I really like my horns showing, and the air flow around them but the micro dust is not very healthy for my engine. Air Boxes
  23. Have you thought about these - I only take 1 real road trip per year to Tail of the Dragon: ITG Air Filters - performance air filters for road and race vehicles
  24. GREAT video clip - every Z Car fan needs to watch this! Thanks for sharing
