Serious thread drift..........

Something to keep in mind (if it matters to you):

I have seen that sytem used on an S30 but I've seen it on a coulple of 'hotrods' Here's their website which contains a video on the system: http://www.isispower.com/

You've never see dual downdrafts (DGV's) on a Z?

Maybe it would if they could read it. Hard to tell with the misspellings, bad grammar, improper terminology, .....starting to wonder if this is like the one we had a couple of years back that was just a 'put on' the see the reactions.

To the point of brandishing a weapon at someone......or even joking about it

If you are truly sorry then it might have been prudent to keep the comment to yourself since it adds absolutely nothing of value to the thread....just sayin'

There are electrical differences between the 77 and the 78 such as external vs internal regulator, fuel pump contacts in the AFM, etc. so the harnesses are different.

Or even a modern OEM system. It's amazing how many things can be programmed on my GTO. Keep in mind that improper adjustment can decrease performance and even cause damage. That's all I'll say lest we go furhter off topic.....

You'd have to define 'chipped' but they definately can't be programmed. There is no software/instructions/memory/storage etc. in them and therefore, nothing to communicate with and change/adjust etc. Chipping is what some some people are referfing to when they place resistors in the system at different points to 'fool' or 'trick' it, thereby changing a particular signal so as to effect performance.

There is nothing programmable. I wasn't equating "nothing but circuit boards" to analog but it's an analog circuit board. There are no microprocessors or anything else that can be communicated with. I should have been clearer.

It's analog, nothing but circuit boards. Think about the era it was designed/built in.....nothing 'micro' about the processors in use then and certainly there would have been no way to utilize any of that technology in an automobile.

Here's a pic:

Wow, Bruce! That is bad...at least most of us can spell it...........nyuck nyuck

Your English is fine but your photo links aren't set up right......

Being fuel injected, that engine will need some kind of engine management, either stock or aftermarket and the components that go with it like O² sensors etc., you'll need a fuel injection type fuel pump, higher pressure fuel lines, the various dampers, filters, etc. Look on Hybrid Z. You'll likely find more info on this swap there than here.

To adjust the carbs would actually require a lot of time. He'd have to remove the EFI and install them first......

Have you given any thought to the electronics/engine managenent that goes with that engine? Or the necessary modification needed to the car's fuel system.

Do lots of research......you may change your mind. The list of things you'd need would be quite extensive/expensive.....

I sold my 71 510 when I bought my 78 280Z. Very much like your description; 5 speed, L20B, electronic ignition, dual Mikunis, etc., etc though mine was blue. I really only sold it because, at the time, where I lived, I didn't have room for the Z, my wife's car, two Datsun Pickups (one for show (1964) and one for actual truck use (1970) and the 510. You'll miss that car if you sell it, as I still miss mine and, in a way, most of the cars that I've ever owned. If you don't have the time, space, money, even interest, in some cases, that they deserve, they're probably better off elsewhere. After all, to borrow a term from Arne, we don't really own them, were just their custodians.

Have you filled out the survey?

You guys are really buying into this?

Though not by much, the 77-78 pieces were a little better made, IMO. Mine were in pretty good shape when I got my car but I actually found a pair for the front that were virtually perfect in junkyard when I was refreshing the car.
