I have some Skyline GTR Original Dealer Info releases for the first 3 years: They would look nice in that grey garage! I'm up for S30 parts to trade if anyone is interested.

Try cleaning all plugs with carb cleaner and brass wire brush then see how long it will idle. If they carbon foul again then you have too much fuel. There are a few causes. Give it a go then get back to us.

What do plugs look like?

Yesterday: picked up 280z firewall linkage and 280z oil bar at Zbarn for my buddy's 73 resto Today: Redline MT-90 , Clutch Fluid, Brake Fluid, filled. Transmission mount torqued (using yellow paint marker on torqued bolts).

Hoovered another HLS30-00007 off road picture for your viewing pleasure. Note the rubber rear bumper guard, and missing "D" in hubcap These early Z photos also had similar hub caps: HLS30-00008

I'm sure @Carl Beck would agree ?

I wonder where that place is?

I think this is @HS30-H's nice thread on an S20 rebuild: https://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/236658-1969-nissan-s20-twin-cam-engine-rebuild.html Very nice!!!

Here is a 1965 drawing from Mr. Matsuo

Just 50 year milestones.... nothing more.

Bruce also works on exhausts:

Check connections and wiring to coolant temperature sensor.

What do plugs look like? Soot?

Maybe a call to this company: https://www.stanleyengineeredfastening.com/fasteners/metal-clips

Watch out for the tail width and the bumpers. A 240z I restored had fibreglass quarters installed many years ago and they were wider than stock. The bumper fit very close: I'll have a look for clips.

They clearly belong in the thread about breasts!

2019 Wish: Hi @Sean Dezart, would you be interested in taking your header to the next level? If so, read the details below. I think it could be thoroughly validated by @blodiafter he completes his initial dyno testing. If all works out, you will have one of the best performing headers and we will have conquered the mid-range rich-dip. The solution is to add a simple piece in the hottest spot of each runner and transition to slightly larger pipe. Improving Header Design (content from Speed Talk): 1. So, what does an anti-reversion valve do? It is simply a one way resistor to delay the reversion effect and give time for the exhaust valve to close. 2. How does it work? Since hot exhaust wants to expand, we give it the opportunity to, but only in the reverse direction. 3. Where to put it? At the tail end of the largest pulse of exhaust, where the exhaust slows down. If your header is port matched, it is approximately 7-8 inches from the header flange. To be more accurate, you can map out the temperatures of the header pipe and there will be a temperature spike where the exhaust slows down. This spot will have the greatest affect. This spot is relative to engine displacement and not rpm. So, moving it higher or lower just makes it less effective. Top

GREAT VIDEO!!! You may wish to double check the fuel hose location against the carb linkage when it moves to its full excursions.

Heads-up @Lazeum A new 240z owner in your patch ? bonne année!!!
