I'm not getting fuel to the carbs
""".... Where in the chain of events DO you have gas flowing??? Can you pull gas from the tank to the fuel pump inlet side? Can you blow air back through the supply tube into the tank?? Fuel pump: With the engine turning over on the starter put your finger over the "inlet" (look at the arrows 1 inny 1 outty) and see if that little sucker is sucking your finger tight to the tube. Now try the output tube. You should feel pressure against you finger. Just in case you have the lines reversed because the orientation of the new pump might be different this is also a good check to tell which is IN and which is OUT. This should NOT be this difficult!!!""" Provided you have two peaple.(or very long arms)

How much
Look at the car. If its not somthing you would need to use daily or anytime in the near future? If not then do you have the time, patience and know how to do it. Most likely you will have to do a full restoration to evan get it drivable. If its somthing you can tackle then go for it. If not then their are other Zs around you just have to look in the right places. It is possible to do. There is this saying-If man built it then man can rebuild it. Ps. somthing else to check is the brakes. Now on this car i donno how long its been sitting but mines been sitting since 95 (before i got it) and has no brakes at all. Just somthing else for you to look into.

Look dude you dont have to be driving fast to enjoy a corner. The one i was talikng about i havent taken it faster then 35. the limit is 45. A loser is a guy that points this kinda stuff out. ie. you! We have a life behind the wheel of our cars. Nobody said they where exeptional drivers. But if having fun makes a person a loser then what the hell is wrong with it?

1971 Hub Caps
I have found a full set near here. The guy put em on a 260z. This car has no trans no interior no floor pans. He was rebuilding it then he got tired of it. has a strong running 128 FI engine. I was sirusly considering buying this for parts (the body is shot) But $500 is out of my price range.

Whens the last time you cleaned the tank? There could be somthing blocking it up. Is air coming through the line from the tank to the cabs? Could be stopped up fuel line.

Have one of those corners?
There is a corner about five miles from here.Its one of those that doesnt apear to be that sharp. Its only about 45 degrees,but its a long sweeper with reversed banking. Many peaple have been killed in that corner....just the other day a friend of mine lost his 1974 or 75 porche turbo straight off the side into the woods. He wasnt injured but hes down to eight lives!

What is this?
I was digging around in my car today and found this strap. Its connected to the seat belt clip on the drivers side. Its about 6 inches long give or take. Reasinbles a chicken strap but it seems kinda strange to have that near the driver. Thanks Bill

There is a 350z in the AZCC. The 350z has a bar that runs across the strut tower in the back he had it rigged in the middle of that. It looked ok. Would have looked better in a s30. How hard would it be to put one back there? Im not going to try this anytime soon. Just a thought.
