  1. Hi sounds like a great time. The one day I got to spend at a track with my Z was one of the best days ever. Post up some info about your car.

    Jim

  2. Just got back from taking my 240Z around the Nurburgring. This is my second time to run my Z at the Ring. I ran 3 laps total as they are 25euro each. My wife was in the car with our luggage on the first lap and then she got out with the luggage for the second lap. The third there was a wreck so I didn't get a good time. Times Lap1 10:50.7 Lap2 9:57.2 It is the coolest track I have ever been on. By the way, I live in Prague and shipped my Z over so I could run tracks with it. We are moving back in December and the Z is at the shippers, going home. Has anyone else taken their Z around?
  3. Thanks for the helpful advice. I have some idea of what it might be. Now to the garage!
  4. OK. I hooked up the fuel coolers to the return line and installed a heat shield but I still have the issue. It will rev through the entire range slowly. It has a HUGE bog at just off idle on a quick punch and will not recover until I let off the gas. Any ideas? Pat
  5. Tony, Thanks for the additional information. That answers my next question. I have the "Terrible flat spot" on quick acceleration. I will try your idea. Pat
  6. Thanks for the reply. That answers my questions. Now to just install and adjust.
  7. I have triple mikuni 44's ready to go on my 240Z. They have the external float adjustment. I rebuilt them but have some questions about setup. On the bottom of the carbs are some plates that fit under the accelerator pump. One of these plates has 2 vacuum fittings (I think) on each carb. I can not find these fittings anywhere in the books or printouts that I have. Anyone know what they are for? The starter discs on mine are attached to a spring that holds them all the way to the left (looking from the carbs toward the intake). In reading, it seems that all the way to the left is full choke and that under normal driving (after warmup) the discs should be all the way to the right. Why would you spring something where the normal position puts pressure on the spring? Does not make sense to me or am I mistaken about the disc position. If this is covered somewhere else, please direct me to the right place. Thanks
  8. I apologize if this is covered somewhere else. I have Toyota S12+8 front calipers and bought a set of performance brake pads for them, but they do not fit. When I look at the Hawk site it seems that all of the ones for the Toyota's are 4.69" long but mine are ~4.25" long. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? Thanks.
  9. I have a 5spd transmission. The slave cylinder has a 70mm (2 3/4in) non-adjustable pushrod. My clutch engages right at the floor and the pedal adjustment is maxed out. My question is, what is the length of the adjustable pushrod that came in the early year Z's? I probably only need .25-.5in longer to correct it. Can any of you help? Thanks, Pat
