  1. A PHH Mikuni, DCOE Weber, Delo's, and others are just a pair of single throat carbs that share a float bowl.
  2. Watch out Michael, You'll catch a "Sunny" disposition. Trading your Z for a full JDM GX setup and begging our Aussies for a set of skinny bumpers. That's a 78, right? Is the VIN prefix HLB310? They sold this in the states badged as a B210, but elsewhere as a B310. Kooky Nissan keeps us guessing. I know I have a sunny in my future. 1200 or 120Y coupe (B210 fastback) .
  3. Michael, You are a frigging photoshop artist! That is so cool. The red wheels look better on the green car than I had thought. But, I agree with you, The Bronze TE37's do look agressive. although, You have to take in account, your photo retouch on the TE37's, look like the diameter is more like 18's, than the 15's I plan on. The grand saved for the real-deal Wats is another thought I had as well. But I can't find a importer/distrib in the U.S. I wrote RSWat, I wonder if they will reply? That 15'' S30 set up they have on the web site looks awsome!
  4. Keith, I like Panas, I really do. But what do you see at a Datsun Show? 1/3 of the cars in Pana's. Know what I mean? That's why I bought the Revo's for the Roadster. Couldn't stand to be "Just another Roadster in Pana's". It's nice to know there are alternatives. And compared to the SSR's and the Volks, Pana's are boat anchors. True, The Wats would be about the same, but they're Wats, so a little leeway is warrented.
  5. I'm hoping the mark III's do come in other colors. Here's how the pricing works out, delivered to my local rice shop. Volks $1,120 SSR's (both mks) $1,350 Wats (he's looking for a distributor) $ 2,000+?
  6. I've decided The new wheels are needed. Just tired of the 14X5.5 old school american wheels and looking for the the following Stlye Forged Quality Light Vintage look Soi far the choices are SSR MKII SSR MKIII Dio you think the Red Centers will go with my Lime green car? Or Volk Racing TE37

    Help!

    Do you want to look at mine? I could stop by tomorrow.
  8. this is a 1959 B110 Bluebird (Datsun 1000). 38 Big horse power out of the E motor to throw you back in the seat. It was cars like this one that convinced Nissan that they would have to increase HP to survive the american freeway traffic
  9. Spelling errors or no, it's still a good poll. I do both, at work and at home. And Bill, Never, Ever, allow any criticism (even light hearted, friendly jabs) discourage you from communicating. Your participation in this forum is one of the best methods to improve communication skills. The effort to make one's views clear is something no one ever stops developing. And, the learning is in the doing. The difference in your first post to this forum, compared to your current postings are evident proof that this is true. I am a pathological miss-speller. And, at times, my sentence structure is miss-mash. But, for the past 30 years, I've had to communicate in the workplace via memoranda and presentations. The more I do, the better I get. And, it never stops being hard, and always rewarding. Thoughts are not written words. They are more like images. It has never been easy to give someone else the same metal image you want to express.
  10. I'm afriad I had (and still have) the same reaction as Carl and others. If anyone is going to put in the effort to remanufacture ANY rare or NLA part, we should support it by purchasing his/her product and not undermining the effort to save a possible buck.
  11. No correction needed Tanny. You got it right the first time.
  12. Well you Can't expect me to actually do rithmatic, do you? You know I aint got 40 fingers and toes! I know some. The adds and the takes-a-ways and even some of the gizindas (4 gizinda 8, 2 times). I'd know more but, in school, Elle-May Clampet was always wisperin in my ear bout the swimin hole. Makes it hard fer a man to think bout anything except multiplication.
  13. Is that Bondurant giving the Thumbs up? I've never seen him. I know that Les built both cars for him, and did a fantastic job.
  14. I misspelt. My bad. it was suppose to read "If you put a 35mm spacer on a +40 wheel, it would be effectivly a +15 wheel when you finished." Instead of "or"
  15. For 14 and 15 by 7 inch wide wheel on a 240Z, offset of 0 to +15mm is best fitment. that means the mounting plane (that rests against the hub surface) is dead center in the middle of the wheel (for a 0 offset) or 15mm outboard (moving the wheel center inboard). The Hondas, and most FWD cars, use a 35~40 offset. If you tried to use this wheel on the Z, the back of the tire would be hard against the strut tower. To change a +35mm wheel to 0 offset, you would need a spacer 35mm thick. If you put a 35mm spacer on a +40 wheel, it would be effectivly a +15 wheel when you finished. By the way, on 16 and over wheels, a +15 offset is optimal as a 0 will rub the outer fenders on bumps. So if you bought some 17X7 +40 4X100 SSR's, the spacer offered by Modern Motorsports would be just about perfect.
  16. Here's a hint... My nickname is Shrek. Now can you pick me out?
  17. Bob Klemme has done the Roadster community a service by returning 00004 to her original livery and fitment. I have to applaud his efforts. I'm sure it was a lot of time and a great, giant chunk of money!
  18. Every body complians that the S130 is too slow... Betcha THIS one isn't!
  19. No, But they are very "period correct" arn't they?
  20. Why? This IS the Arizonia Z Car entry, that's why. BTW, I spoke to him in length in re his 4 barrel conversion. He swears by it and says that others, who have had troubles, did not set it up per his instructions. He also claims close to 30 MPG
