  3. i adjust the float somehow, and the car runs fine. i ordered new vavles from Ztherapy just in case. thank you for your help!
  4. my rear carb is outputting tou much gas, mixture knob is turned all the way in, but still a lot of gas in carb. i am not sure but may be the float is too high and gas pressure is high to output more gas than needed. if so, how you adjust it? or is it something else? thankyou

    FCR carbs

    i saw an ad of a shop who sell FCRs for L-series engine. the shop is in japan, and the price for them is around $2000.
  8. hi! thank you to everybody. i believe i have 73 240z e88 head. seems like i better buy L28 and not mess around with turbo engine.
  9. hi Lockjaw . i know there are two kinds of e88 head but i am not sure which one i have. how can i check it?
  10. hi. i am a question. i am not an expert this might be too stupid question for you but please help me. a friend of mine is selling L28 turbo block. i have an e88 head on my L24. i am wondering if i can use the block with e88 head and make L28. i am not sure about compression. e88 is higher comp since it is NA and the block has longer stroke and lower comp. to make it simple, it is possible to just put e88 on turbo block and use as L28 NA? thank you
  11. hi. this may be because of ignition problem. everytime i start my car for the first time of a day my car doesn't idle well. so i push gas, however, when i step on gas while the car is on idle i hear spark from under the dash. i am running on SUs so i understand the carbs need to be warm up. but still spark from dash is something i don't like. can't explain well. anyone had similar problem? any advise is appreciated!

  18. update: one of my friend in japan found a place where they ell fender mirror. crome ones are around $130 brand new. so i guess i will call them nefore i go home and get the mirrors as soon as i get to japan. so anyone who is interested in buying fender mirros let me know. email me at hirokinu@hotmail.com
  19. well, saitama is kind of close to tokyo. so if Owen can remember the name of the shop, i might be able to go there and get the mirrors. i already asked one of my friend in japan. i'll let you know as soon as i get back from him. Fender mirrors are the best match on Z. i have them since the begining of this year and everytime i see them i go, "what a sweet look".
  20. i found a pair on yahoo japan they are in good conditon but are not stock. and the guy is asking for 26000yen which is around $200. i believe it's over priced so may be we can wait until the auction ends and contact the seller if he can give any discount on them. here is the link http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e10520740
  21. hi. a pair in perfect condition is around $150, used decent nes are around $100. actually i am planing to go to japan in June. so if you can wait i might be able to bring mirrors back with me, that way you save a lot of shipping. email me, hirokinu@hotmail.com
