So how about one of the next two that haven't been scheduled in Portland or Seattle since there hasn't be one in the Northwest? Rainier, the Oregon coast, great tracks, Willamette Valley, catch a Seahawks game, sounds like a blast.

Take the screws off of the bowls and lift the bowl off. You should then be able to gently take the cylinder off too. Take some carb cleaner and clean off the cylinder and the interior of the bowl. The needle attached to the bottom of the cylinder should be reasonably straight too. Hope this helps, I'm no SU rocket scientist but this is the gist of what I do twice a year as a form of lazy SU tuneup.

http://vsrg.org/enews/vsrg_en_0908.htm Looks like a blast if they have any tickets left...all the BRE big names are going to be there.

There might be some decent deals on 240s to be found in the UK, it would be cheaper than shipping one all the way from the states.

Try hybridz.org too, if you aren't there already.

Isn't that the car John Williams helped to build, he has a shop in Sugar Hill?

So how about an update, have you found a Z yet?

Hey, it's 80's styling, they're unique but not ugly...an Aztek...that's ugly.

Glad you got the magazine, Hanns Ruth is a member here and I sent him a copy as well.

Where's the Nissan goody bag opportunity? Is Nissan going to be out there with a booth or something promoting the GTR and the 370?

Maybe in Arkansas but they will fetch a pretty penny in the JDM world.

That's not good

It definitely sounds like a blast, I missed last year due to work and I don't think one will get closer to me for awhile.

Can't afford to make the trip.

They're gone.

I did not see your car in this issue. There is coverage of West Coast Nationals but all of the cars either featured or pictured are S30s or S130s.

I've got one magazine left, haven't made it back to Book Box yet.

I made it back, have 4 extras to let go (Chino 240Z, I have yours separate) that I would like to get $18 for apiece. (The magazine is $10 plus roughly $4 for USPS first class) PM me if you're interested, first 4 PMs get them. I'll take Paypal and will ship them first class next week when I return to the states.

I get eyeballed by the "Honda with a wing" crowd and the "Neon with a fartcan" exhaust crowd as well. There are a few 350's running around but on only one occasion did one ever recognize my car as an early Z. I'm tooling home and notice a 350 behind me at the light, no big wup, but after the light turns green, the car pulls up beside me and it's the Wing CC, a one star General. He says "Nice Z" then lays on the gas. I follow, couldn't pull on him but slowed the gap until we hit about 85. (I'm trying to figure out which of my kids band instruments I can sell to fund either the ITB, turbo or triple Mikuni transplant that is in my future to "close the gap")

I will try to get back down to the Book Box on Friday or Saturday and empty out their copies of the magazine. (I'm in Korea now) Doh itashimashta gozaimasu!

It's in there, you got alot of exposure! Kinokuniya? I may have one more day shopping in Japan that I can grab one.

Couldn't believe this when I saw it at the bookstore. A few I've seen before, the obligatory Rocky Auto car and an impressive write-up on Hans Ruth's Z-racecar. Might be available at Kinokuniya for you West Coast dwellers.

I would argue you need to figure out how much HP you're making now, how much you think you want to make and how much you're prepared to spend. The general idea I get is an N/A L-28 can get to 225-250 hp and be streetable, a turbo can get between 300-350 hp and be streetable. There are a ton of threads here and at hybridz.org that explore the pros and cons of a variety of options. The number one determining factor will be how much you're prepared to spend.
