rossiz Posted August 20, 2015 Share #517 Posted August 20, 2015 nice! where did you wind up w/timing? any obstruction to intake will affect flow - you can tune for some of it w/afr but it will always be there. i've spent quite a bit of time w/motorcycles on the dyno and every little bit counts. unless you're on the track you feel a few hp a lot less in a car than on a bike though. i was shocked at how much difference a set of screens made on the intake bellmouth, but if you think about it all screens have a % open area spec and even a fine wire mesh with large openings (filters out bugs/rocks but does nothing for dust & grit) will choke out 5-10% and that's a direct reduction to intake. end of the day, for street driving the filter effect will be essentially negligible and your bores will thank you...

Purie Posted August 20, 2015 Share #518 Posted August 20, 2015 Yes I got most of my M8-M12 bolts from Fastenal. The M5-M6 bolts I got from ClipsandFasteners.com. The specialty Datsun hardware I had plated at a local plating shop.Thanks, appreciate it. Awesome build.Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/49193-my-datsun-280z-rustoration/?page=44#findComment-476101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaZmatt Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share #519 Posted August 20, 2015 Not sure what we ended up with timing. I think its slightly advanced. I will be running the filters on the street and normal driving situations, I was just curious to see what the difference was.

Darrel Posted September 12, 2015 Share #520 Posted September 12, 2015 Just got done reading the thread. Great read. The car really had everyone fooled at the show and shine last month. Almost fooled me when i saw the brackets for the 280z front signals. You did a great job on the build. The car looks great. Are you going to the cussler collection tomorrow?

Looks like about two inches on the rear, less on the fronts.... I would like to duplicate your stance eventually....

HaZmatt Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share #528 Posted October 1, 2015 I had to cut the strut housings about 2" from the bottom. I ended up having to trim a little more off so the coilover would sit flush at the base. So about 1 15/16" 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/49193-my-datsun-280z-rustoration/?page=44#findComment-478303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
