Sorry to be so late getting back to you. I am fine. We were blessed in so many ways over the past week. My wife spent 6 straight days at the hospital taking care of everybody and keep the lights on and people fed their. I am so proud of her. I was home with our two boys making sure things were safe. With so many I know who lost so much, I am almost ashamed to say I had little to no damage from the storm. Our cleanup is all but done and many others have not even been able to start. THanks for the kind thoughts! I am okay. My family is okay and my little Datsuns made it okay

I love fuel rail topics.. I made one for my 'primitive carb' set up. You fancy smancy guys with your injected fuel..

just realized autocorrect changed Hardway to Hardware... sorry bud!

Hardware... I am going to be cutting up a heater hose this weekend!! That was brilliant... Now I wonder if their s a way to inject some hard curing silicone to accomplish the same thing. Some type of rubber epoxy maybe. Very nice!!

Very happy to hear it I Hope they make you smile every single day!

I have only had one experience with Paltech, as he refurbished the DCOEs on my Roadster. Car would not run after very well. He had installed one of the venturis in backwards... They do look fantastic though. As my old DCOE's on my Z are getting older and 'wearing' in, I think they could use a bit of a tune up. I may try myself, but we will see. I do love playing with carbs. Have not done a total rebuild on one since my Holley 4150 days.

I had no idea Mr. K loved silver. Makes me smile

careful buddy, LOL.. Sounds like you are tuning like a pro now. IN a year or so you will be giving advice. Just a word to the wise. keep these files and print them out with what you ran. It will really save time later and be a great bit of info for yourself and every other Weber Junkie.

I think he took apart a Z and took a picture of everything and spun a wheel for the price... I mean talk about a pick a part special. I think these will become more and more common as Z prices rise.

I saw me! Great video. So this is what a bird sees right before he poops on my hood.

Wow, amazing pics guys!!! Thanks for posting them. Those cars looks amazing as ever.

Wow, did not know this happened! Just goes to show you the love and respect the general public has for good old Z guys. Kudos to MIke as well for doing his usual above and beyond good service to all of us. I was perusing around facebook and noticed that during the banquet they had the winners and pictures of the cars on the big screens. Anybody get a shot of my name and my car on the presentation. I would love to show that to my wife and kids. I regretfully had to leave the conference before the final banquet. Spent the next day in an urgent care and had to get an epinephrine shot to get the swelling around my next and arms and face to go back down. After some rest I am getting much better. No idea what hit me so hard in Austin. Zup old buddy, it seems that my antenna and your tire were casualties. Good news though, I was able to take apart a couple of old rusty spare antennas and put a new mast together. I just need to get it installed back into the silver bullet. What a great time had by all.

I would be very happy to. I have a few more and I will add them as well!

Okay Try now.

I thought of instead of just searching for individual threads, I would put a catch all thread up in general. Here is a link to my flickr album with all my ZCON stuff loaded. https://www.flickr.com/photos/sdamico/albums/72157682607635543

Congrats guys you definitely deserve it I was driving my Z home through the second flooding of the earth could have swore an arc passed me in the left lane. good news is the old gal made it home and my wipers found speed In Those old gears they have never had before I think the Z gods were loooking out for old Zedy

Did somebody say racecourse!!!

I listened to his name many times as he said it. He says it more like A-jee

I just wanted to give Eiji a shout out. As you all know his hands built my engine. And as the show started I was determined to get to meet him. Well we certianly did over lunch, and then a ride back to the hotel a couple of time. Eiji even rode with me around COTA in the car with HIS engine build still going strong 5 years running. HIs humble nature and sincere demeanor is always a pleasure to talk to. His level of knowledge about the L series is staggering. We traded ideas and laughed a bit about when he built up my engine and how he remembered our ever phone conversation. Datsun Spirit is a first rate company. Guy, Eiji, had nothing but great things to say about you. As expected.

Agreed! It was such a pleasure meeting all of you. I feel Like I have made a whole new bunch of friends for life. Cannot tell any of you how much it meant to me to meet you in person. My fire for the Z is restored.!

Before you say you want to go, I have to drive 4 hours to Austin in 101 degree heat with black vinyl and no AC.. Oh it is going to get REAL up in there.

Getting ready for ZCON!

I am planning on heading out in the AM on the 20th from League city. Figure it will take a good 4 hours to get their. Will be going with a buddy of mine who just got his 280Z on the road. This will be his shake down cruise! I will probably leave between 9 and 10 am. This is the route I plan on taking...Pending traffic.

OH Mike, I miss those Texas 1000 roads. I was going to bring my route rally map from our event in 2012. So many good roads to drive.

I am going to try to run by the NASA store and get some stickers for all my buds here...
