Hardway Posted July 11, 2014 Share #6 Posted July 11, 2014 Congrats JPW and welcome to the club! That is a great looking Z you have, especially for your first one. I see you are in Little Elm. The Dallas area has quite a number of classic Z car owners so lots of opportunities to network and make new friends. What is the story on your Z? Where did you find it? We love pictures so show us more! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/49614-new-member/#findComment-451427 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjr45 Posted July 11, 2014 Share #8 Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Very nice first Z, I really like the color and the front spook looks similar to the one on my 75.

We love pictures so show us more!Well, my dad has always been a Datsun/Nissan lover, I guess I just followed in his footsteps. He's owned almost every Z. He had a 240Z, 280Z, 280ZX, 300ZX and a 350Z. I always liked his 280Z the best, he never had a 260, so I set out to find one. I bought it off a guy advertising it in Paris TX for $9,500. He agreed to meet me halfway in Sherman, and took $6,500 for it. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/49614-new-member/#findComment-451456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpw58165 Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share #12 Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) I forgot to mention it has a 350 SBC V-8 and 5 speed manual with Edelbrock 650 Thunder carb, Weiand intake, Spectre filter Thrush glasspack and Turbo muffler. I also had a wideband gauge and O2 sensor installed. I got it tuned as good as I could, I do miss electronic fuel injection, calibration is a pain. I do manage to get about 16.5 mpg in the city, no idea what it gets on the highway, I am guessing around 19.5Here are my air/fuel ratios +/- .1:idle - 13.1 (spot on)cruise - 13.9 (too rich)partial - 14.6 (too lean)WOT - 12.4 (spot on)The cruise and partial throttle are backwards, don't have the necessary jets right now to correct it, Edited August 24, 2014 by jpw58165 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/49614-new-member/#findComment-454024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
