the article was from zhome.com: http://zhome.com/ZCMnL/tech/TripleSUs.htm what the article states is that it causes "flow reversal" because of dead usage spots...... it's in the article...

i heard somewhere (don't remember but i know it was a reliable source) that the triple SU setup was not very efficient, and the benefits over a twin SU system were miniscule. the reasoning was because of the setup of the standard I-6 engine. because the firing of the cylinders is set-up the way it is (i don't know the firing order off the top of my head) the usage of both of the twin SUs is equal and regular. when the third SU is thrown in there it offsets the system and causes irregularities throughout the entire intake system. basically you get uneven and irregular usage out of each of the carbs.

sounds like you got a lot of work ahead of ya

i should have been more specific... i can't afford a WEDDING... not being married. there are far more financial advantages than disadvantages in being married. anyway, we have the date set to when we can afford it: next year.

^haha, living with my fiance..... i might as well be married; and i would be if i could afford it...

hey, he's local to me. should check him out.. haha

hey! my name is jason king, at present time i own 2 72 240zs. i am 23 years old and i'm a customer sevice manager at office depot here in san diego, california. i'm pretty much married and have a 3 yr old son named matthew. i've been into cars all my life: my dad started me off young. he was from the "muscle car" crowd, and for most of the 80s had the fastest SBC in san diego. don't let that fool you, though, i have been into datsuns forever. my first car was a 69 nova; it wasn't till i decided that i needed a car with better gas mileage that i was fully hooked into japanese cars. i bought a 95 civic coupe (just to get around reliably, as my nova, well, no va). i souped it up a bit, then it broke down on me. this was all over the course of several years, mind you. i was able to borrow cars throught my family, driving a 79 chevy malibu classic, 01 astro, 97 geo prizm, etc. my civic sat inoperable in the driveway for a couple years, then i finally got rid of her for $1000. needless to say, with money fresh in my pocket, i went car shopping. picked up my grey 240 and knew i made the right choice. searching around ebay for parts, i discover a little vixen in san jose. after some budgeting and borrowing, i end up where i'm at now: i just purchased another 240z (original lime yellow) with a decently built N47 L28. original plan was to sell the grey one and start over with a more solid platform, but if i can afford it, ol yeller is gonna be my daily driver and grey is gonna be my SCCA racer.... we can only hope!

23 here... and i have 2 street '72s..... one may either be sold, or if i can afford her, she will become a track whore...

^^hahha...... what exhaust is on the orange one? trust? also, that silver one is dead sexy as well

those are all very handsome wheels, even a bunch of those GOTTIs are attractive....

saweeet! bout time sony caught up with the sega gt in datsun usage.... still waiting for them to do the roadster and 510 though. would be awesome to have an old school driving game.... you know, nothing after 1980 or so.....

thank you for that link! it answered a lot of questions.... i just spent the last 20 mins enveloped!

^^yea, a couple of mine already split on me...

i'd be interested in some red interior pieces possibly, also the wndshield wiper motor..... .... does seem like a lot of $$ for a car with extensive rust, though

i don't think those are the appliance wheels, but i know which wheels those are. at first i thought they looked like the appliance ones, but then i remember seeing the initail wheels on zs before. at any rate, i believe they are period correct, and if you decide to get rid of them, let me know.. EDIT: upon closer inspection, i am sticking with my original claim: the "wire" part is much finer on the mounted wheels, and the distance from hub to "rim" is shorter in the mounted wheels.

does sound a lot fishy.... the car is pretty nice though...

my japanese is bad..... took me a few minutes to read the "engine" "suspension" and "wheels" portion!

lovely works car..... anyway, i think those rims are very nice......... has anyone checked the japanese tuning books for fairladys?

i'm interested in those as well.....

^^that's pretty sexy...

not too shabby me brotha

right now i have bad religion "all ages"..... i don't have very many tapes: can't wait to get my mp3 player....

it's a graphite-ish color.... and the one in that pic appears a bit too light

that sounds about right. that way you know they're gonna get the job done RIGHT.... no cheap arse chop job....

^^haha, i bet! you can paint me green....
