    its completly easy to see if they fit though. if they do be prepared to stop!!!!!
  2. glad to see it went well. hehe wait till you get her dialed in with those carbs tuned, she should run like a monster.
  3. one most of mine they didnt have it or use a catch can. what id usually do is put a filter on the crank case vent as well.

    where it says enter and email and i tried to enter and well i had gotten no further:stupid:

    here is a list of things to check. suspension parts ie tie rod ends, ball joints, tc rod, bushings, wheel bearings check the tire for being out of round, wheel damage, balance, lost balance weights check your steering rack for play as well, and the associated bushings, and of course make sure your wheel is attached properly
  6. and ive seen them and wanted them on a Z as well. me personally i think they look fantastic and give it that little extra. i love em
  7. most use a k and n filter in its place plus it cleans up the engine bay. if you think you might need that or are concerned you could always hook up a catch can for the breather and the block. good luck and get some pics so we can see your new tri carb set up. hehe how do you like the way they sound, nothing like a set of tripples revving up the engine is there:love:

    your best bet on a stock or even more then stock motor would be the round top su's hands down. personally i wouldnt waste my time and or money doing that conversion. point being why would you want a down draft carb on a motor set up for side draft carburetors. if you do upgrade and go for more power ie boring and working the head and doing the cam, then go triples or beef up the su's stay away from the 4 barrel convert just my .02

    CRAFTSMAN!! i used to own a set of craftsman tools. they never seemed to fit right and i thought it was me. its not its the wrenches are made poorly. before kobalt changed theyre line i would have recomended them but now theyre new line looks just like craftsman. find a good set of wrenches.
  10. thats how ive always done it

    my money would be on the booster or the check valve. if you have a vacumn tester you can eliminate rather quickly

    yes i do catch a LOT of flack for the ZXT but hey i like it its fun fast and rides worse then a 240 on coil overs . love a car that rides the road like a tank and handles like its on rails now if i had a 240Z to put this engine in ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM:love:

    the lock nut is 14 mm and the nut you turn to adjust the valves is 17mm. its pretty straight forward from there. .08 intake .10 exhaust cold and .10 and .12 hot respectively

    inside and out except for two things one LEARN how to USE YOUR SCANNER!! :stupid: second and i really hate to say it because its such a beautiful car, but its just that its, well, automatic in any event its a great looking Z drive on:D
  16. ive seen that done to a 260Z :sick: :sick: now to a 280ZX, this is what you get when someone with to much time on there hands get to cutting and hacking. you might be a redneck if?????
  17. ZmeFly posted a post in a topic in Help Me !!
    just the best all around carb you can have for your Z
  18. ZmeFly posted a post in a topic in Open Chit Chat
    that i weighed that is, 71 240Z, weighed in with completly stock set up including spare tire and tool bag at 2280 with a half a tank of gas my 72 240Z, with spare, fiberglass aero kit, ZX wheels weighed in at 2350 with a full tank of gas
  19. from what i can see it is nice:love:

    threw the carbs means that they are running lean and threw the exhaust is runing rich what i would do since the carbs are very simple and easy to work on is take the domes off and clean the carbs out well. make sure your pistons arent sticking, put the lot back together. make sure that your floats are set properly, then start to tune in your carbs. also one other thing to do is check your timing and make sure that it is also correct

    it is counter clockwise and its 1 5 3 6 2 4 its easily remember by to young to old just right:D

    i thought you were warning the women to look out for you
  23. ZmeFly posted a post in a topic in Carburetor Central
    and like 2many said have a stock cam, stay with the su's. hehe but you know your just dieing to hear those 6 throats open up and give you that grin:cheeky: that only a set of triples can give you. stick with the su's for now. later down the road when you upgrade put those mikunis on

    and the mustache bar i would be prone to believe its an R180, they were stock on the 260Z us model but i dont know if that was different for the au model
  25. ZmeFly posted a post in a topic in Carburetor Central
    but thats me, and i have yet to see any car making real power use the 4 barrel conversion, i would either go with round top su's or if you have the engine, and the cams and set up for it go with the triples. you will never get the power you can out of efi but thats another subject. heres another thought, norm from north carolina, built and runs daily a 71 240Z with su's on his and i mean this very literally junkyard stroker motor and his best time at the track is 12.8 or 12.9 im not sure which but that is on ALL MOTOR and SU's. so take it from there. me personally i like the very simple and effective su's
