Dan has a Canadian Spec 240z but he didn't mention his Canadian Spec Titan Truck:

Charles you got me. All the time you all thought that Blue was the colour of my Z:

Whats on deck?

That early Canadian spec 240Z is very rare indeed!

Yes. I agree.

Do you think the meter's calibration was off for the 165/225 run posted above?

Overkill but it has what you want: http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/39668-77-280z-drum-brake-refresh/

Thanks. It is stretched out more in the higher rpm range so I fitted each side and spliced. It looks like the run was offset towards the rich side again.

It is like the air affects the low end of the Etube and the top end... VERY interesting

blodi is an excellent tester!

Once you get the mains sorted did you want to circle back to accelerator circuit?

Excellent data! Nice to see a crowbar at work and the high end raise! I agree 165/225 should flatten it and give ~12.5 +/- 0.5. You could then try 160 fuel if you want a tic leaner. There also seems to be a big change in the low end of the latest plot. It does not dive rich like it has done but instead it jumps lean. What is your A/F when you cruise at 60mph now? We may have to keep an eye on this region.

I can head over to Portland!

rats 6hr drive... if it was at end of my work I could do it.

I'll be working in Nedonna, Oregon for a couple of weeks, I may have some time off to travel within a few hours so if anyone wants to meet up, turn wrenches, eat food, I'm game. Philip

This should be interesting~ Hopefully the high end will rise nicely.

Looks like it dropped a bit richer or tester is offset. In previous run posted on July 9 you are peaking ~ 13.5. The last plot is the same shape but peaking ~13.1. Try drilling out unused air correctors with 3/32" bit and give it a run at 165/238. We need a crowbar to straighten that top end!

What are the head details? BMC did one with 3 sections of a KA24 head sandwiched together to make DOHC head for an L28. That was not enough so he bored and stroked it to 3.1... but that was not enough so he added two turbos. One of the most impressive engineering efforts ever by one person... I think he may have been in his early 20's when he did it.

Looks like the mirror has the day/night knob so the S30 is probably the L version. The steering column reinforcement metal plate is easy to see on the firewall.

Your collection is missing this one:

I love the silence Incredible collection! I only saw a Jag E coupe once around here. Beautiful car! My fav of your collection after the Z of course!

An S30 in the USA is rare. An S30 converted to LHD in the USA is even rarer. Just fix it up the way it is or sell it complete to someone who will. Parting would be a shame.
