Nismo280zEd

I've been very patient.. but i have not heard from the guy in over a month... and i really need my rear spacers that i payed for 2 months ago. -Ed

Ok, with numbers that quick you've got me convinced to go with the 40's, But i would like to know.. what size Main venturi's your running, what size main jet, etc. Since my source for getting these numbers is claimed wrong, or not street wise. Only book i have for getting these numbers is the HP book on modifying your Nissan/Datsun engine. This is where i got the 45 number from. Thank you very much, Ed BTW sourcandy@playful.com is my email.

OK.. so seriously.. when is the last time somebody had contact with Ross? Is he on vacation or.. ?

From what i've read in the books, 45mm is ideal for my engine. But most people claim... 40's are better. This car is a big play toy for me, and my father and I have had a long history of trying to out do each other. My z vs his 911. When I was running my EFI I was beating him till end of third gear on my 5spd. I don't wanna spend 1500 dollars or more and come to find out that i bought too small a carb. I plan on modifying the engine even more, swapping heads, maybe even a larger cam than i already have... I just want to have room for upgrade on them. Are 40's going to be able to do this? or should i get some 45's and just put in some smaller main venturi's? Or... are the 45's going to be too radical for the street, ie never being able to properly tune... etc. Ideas are very welcome -Ed

As many of you know my car was damaged in a freak fire accident. Since then i have aquired some parts, but can't decide which direction to take. Recently I have been pondering the idea of putting triple carbs on my L28 with N42 head. Does this sound crazy? The had has been ported and polished, harder valve guides, new valves, racing springs and cam. In my mind this sounds like a very easy and fun setup, but will I be looking at about the same power level i was at with my previous modified EFI? I was looking at the 40mm webers I started thinking about this as graphing a 76 280z wiring harness to my 78 engine doesn't sound very fun to me. Or rewiring all the EFI relays. Ideas anyone? -Ed

cheap ones are gonna be rebuilt injectors of which i am not a fan off... i buy new injectors only i don't care what people say.. but you can go to a boat store and get some good fuel line to replace the hose with... but if the injector is so old the hose has cracked sounds like you need new ones anyway. -Ed

mine used to do the same thing except under decel, but then again i'm fuel injected.

Yes parts are good! I really need a Master brake cylinder, clutch master cylinder, and possibly a brake booster, have to check it out monday when i have some free time. Also need Drivers side fender, hood release cable Mike kelly is generously giving me a computer, intake manifold with injectors and harness for next to nothing. THANKS MIKE! there is a God The car is a 78 280z 2+2... do you have the guys number or location? -Ed

hmm this give me an idea... relocate all those old relays into the interior of the car.. and replace them with new ones... for my 280z. hmm

Maybe a gathering if we could get enough people... mine just suffered form a fire accident so all i can bring is pictures lol -Ed

Ok, so whose better? Crane... or MSD..? for an EFI based car.

NA with a cam

Aight cool I'm living up on the NorthSide in the Woodlands. 281-367-1571 Sourcandy@playful.com

anybody there?

or you could just go down to your local performance shop and get a custom cat back system with exhaust for 200 bucks

I run a "street series" Magnaflow muffler straight through design w/ a 4" tip. I run hearders and 2.5" pipe and it's LOUD above 3k. But i love it

happened in mine 2 turned out to be the light switch, not the high beam low beam switch. Also make sure the "red" wires are FIRMLY connected to the light switch.

Thanx guys... i was getting worried that something happened to him... good to hear, waiting is no problem. -Ed

k thanx for the info i'm debationg on wheter or not to upgrade to Distributorless ignition or not maybe i'll just up the ignition system to a crane HI-6 or something.. thanx for the input -Ed

anybody heard from Ross lately? he still alive? -Ed

Ok, so i'm guessing you can buy steel or aluminuim tubing and use this "double flare" tool to make brake lines anywhere on your car? say... from a master cylinder to a proportioning valve? -Ed

Bastard... (cursing at my unfortunate fire incident) my suspension was to look like yours as well till my car caught fire last week ... now i have to go down the long restoration road again. But keep up the nice work! looks awesome! -Ed

who said anything about an L6 in a 911? I just need to replace the molten plastic blob that used to be my OEM distributor on my 78 280z. -Ed

What are you guys favorite Distributor for an EFI L28..? 1978 280z -Ed

POR15 is some badass shit... it holds up well against fire i found out recently 2. and hydraulic fluid doesn't do anything to it... Hammerite is great as well... but takes forever to dry and hydraulic fluid loves to eat it up, but it doesn't chip. -Ed
