Idle woes
when i was cleaning up my engine bay i disconected and recondected all the hoses are wires (cleaning connections/tighting clamps ect) then i went back and tryed adjusting the carbs again but with some help. Either way it idles solid at 900. I have to do a full tune up(cap roter plugs ect) so after im done with that hopefully ill be able to fine tune it a bit more. Thanks for the help!

Idle woes
Since I ordered the Ztherapy rebuild kit i've been tinkering with my carbs. I cleaned up all the old parts and put everything together. But i'm having an idle problem. When I turn the key on a cold motor (even a warm one) it needs some help.* Once I’ve revved it a few times till idle pretty good at 1400. The problem is when I adjust all the settings to have a bit lower idle it wont stay. I have the Ztherapy video and I pretty much know how to tune it but its still giving me grief. I checked the float and jetting both are set fine and not sticking. Its driving me crazy because it revs fine it just wont idle right. Any ideas? * I don’t have a choke cable or any of the stuff for that. I know that will fix the problem of helping it start. Until then I have to open my hood and pull them with my hands.

The car is getting painted yellow with black stripes doe sure. The air dam and spoiler are getting paint black for sure. I would like your opinions on whether I should add the reverse yellow stripes on the air dam and spoiler.

I decided to get rid of that ugly bumper mount, indent, and even the side markers. its not done but its getting there. Before: http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/6204/10kj.jpg After: http://img107.imageshack.us/img107/4360/p21700159hm.jpg I got rid of the front markers too and the other side is the same i was just too lazy to take more pics. P.S. Sanding for a few hrs is a real workout!

Carb install
I bought a SU rebuild kit. I took the carbs completely apart cleaned everything. Put on the new parts and put everything back together. The pistons move at the same speed. The needles and the seats match up perfectly. The pistons go all the way down. The floaters are parallel to the lid. So there ready to be installed right? If not what’s left? What fluid do I add into the top part of the carbs? How do I know if they’re both functioning the same when I put them on?

Running lights
When you have your running lights on that includes the front turn signals right? Are they bright or dim? when you click on the turn signals while having the running lights on dose the bulb go from dim to bright or bright to dim or bright to off or what? 74 260Z

Headlight/Turn prob
so i spent the entire day unmolesting the wireing. time well spent i got the headlights and running lights working fully. the only thing not working is the turn signals but thats because i dont have the entire center console harness (including the hazzard switch)so once thats done im 95% sure all my wireing is exactly how it needs to be.
