I'm the one in the middle, This is my other hobby I can't afford - racing sailboats

I think I'm going to go another route, and don't need those for the time being, thanks to all for your help!

I have to interject something here, first off I don't like the look of the az Z intake at all, it looks like it is allways going to lean out the front and rear cyls and it could have been designed much better. But I don't think that is the main issue. If his motor is smoking he may have bad rings or a valvetrain issue and he needs to get that straightened out before worrying too much about his carb situation. even with that Az Z manifold he should be doing better then that. He needs to get a leakdown test on that engine lonnnng before putting $1700 worth of tripple anything on it. Just my 2 cents.

My wife is very flattered by the compliments on the pictures! Anyway, we'll take some better pictures, maybe something at the park, after I get the car back together. Bw

What did I do to deserve her? Absolutely nothing! Don't any of you blokes tell her that, I have her fooled so far!!! I think she would love to be in the z hotties gallery, she just wants to take some nicer pictures first. Don't forget that she was the one who gave me the Z as a present. I must've been a saint in a previous life.. Bw

Heres another one. See I told you she was perfect.

The Wifey just got home from work and we didn't have time so these didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, they really don't do justice to how attractive she really is. We'll take some better ones later.

A quick conversation with Rebello Racing or a copy of "how to mod ify your Nissan OHC engine" would be a good place to start.

Just got busy and forgot!! Had the motor out of tha car and parts everywhere, got the motor most of the way back in, hmmm, maybe something by the rear of the car where you can't see the hood is off... I'll try to get something tonight, she's definately up to it. Bw

Hey TexasZ, we always seem to meet like this... Have you had the chance to replace your u-joints? I am suspecting I may need to do the same and want to know how it went. I swapped in my spare motor over the weekend, It was pretty str8 forward. I have not reinstalled the FI etc as I have a sheared exaust stud and subsiquent sheered easeout to deal with... Looks like I'm just going to have a head job on my old head and kill 2 birds with one stone rather then worry with trying to drill that easeout out of there, so It'll be a while before I get everything back together. I'll let you know how everything goes. And I need some radiator work too....

I couldn't find anything in the archives so if there is a thread on this just shot me to it... What are you guys paying for head work. I am considering sending out my spare head to have it redone and wanted to know what you guys are paying for a basic upper end valvejob/machine work. Bw

A lot of that spookiness and excessive roll is often due to worn out bushings, bad shocks, or both. All of the negative tendencies of the Z are compounded greatly if thats the case. Have you replaced any of the rubber bushings with poly?

Anyone have a spare copy of the rebuilding Nissan OHC engines book I can Borrow buy or trade in Dallas?, Mine didn't come thru now I just have the factory manual (pull engine, rebuild, torque, replace) and this forum for my rebuild which we are starting this weekend. Bryan

That only helps if you own your own machine shop...

even with the overfenders the 235s won't fit? or you just don't want to drill the holes? I'm running 235's on my 14X7's and the fit is fine except I get a little rubbing in the pass. front on my msa airdam, I think If they were 60 series not 70 it would be ok.

I'd be interested to see top speed posted also. I did 125+mph with 5 psi compression on cyl 6 and 35 on cyl 3 w/ 4:11 gears and a 4 speed so I figure some of you 5 speed non-broken engine guys have really pushed it...

I have the same arrangement sans resonanator/ no tip. - Bigger gorrilla, longer drum solo, same basic concept

Michael, did you not have a set of these? anyone? BW

Did someone have a rebuilt L28 for sale in Texas a while back? I seem to rember someone had one for sale. I have a modified L28 in my car with poor compression and a stock 77 on a stand that also looks like it will need a rebuild. I am about to rebuild one or both, but I have some resources coming up that would make a full swap easily possible if I had a solid doner that I could stick in for a season or 2.

1. You are not married or at least have no kids. response - am married, 1 kid - he's a heavy sleeper 2. It is your birthday. response - It's allways my birthday! 3. Your partner wants something and feels the need to blackmail you. response - she wants something but its not blackmail 4. You are making it up... response - nope 5. Or you are the luckiest guy on the planet.....and we all hate you response - not only do I have nothing to complain about in the bedroom dept., she bought the Z for me as a present! Fell free to hate me bc know I have the perfect wife (and she loves to cook!!!) she wants to take a sexy pic on the hood of the Z, so the proof will be forthcoming...

Nope, just scared of a bunch of Ozzys (who may or may not call themselves 'Banana Benders') talking about there erections! Esp. frightened we might "Come a Gutser" and you blokes might get angry and "Give us a Gobful" considering the context... Bw In Texas Ya'll - "the other outback"

might be something wrong with the way it links, I can see it, hmm http://www.zparts.com/ads/wheels/wheels_fs.html on the 3rd row down, its marked nissan 14x6 but doesn't need to be that color thanks BW

the lower ones in the post

I have a nice set of 14X7 turbines with blacks centers on my 75 (see my gallery) I am wondering if anyone in the north Texas, US area might have a set of decent Iron cross style wheels they would like to swap for them. have these: want these: color unimportant-

, You betcha.
