I decided to try my own setup with 6 HSR45 Mikunis. I had previously run Weber 45's. I used the original linkage so that I could return to the Webers if I wasn't happy with Mikunis. Because of the shape of my extracters I had to add some extensions as The bowl of carb 4 was hitting the exhaust. Apart from that it was pretty straight forward with the carbs being quite straight forward to tune. The throttle response is very good and although I wasn't looking for it the mpg is much improved over the Webers.

Enkei Compe 15 x 8" 0 offset with 225 45 x 15 Nitto NT01 tyres for the track

A couple of pics of my orange '74 260Z with Konig 15 x 7 rims and also some Performance 14 x 7 rims, I think the dark/black centre and polished rim suits an orange Z!

Try some pads for a Mazda Series 4 RX7 they are nearly identical in shape and all you have to do is weld up the pin holes and redrill them sligfhtly lower. Only about a half hour job and you can get a better range of performance pads. I have Hawk and they are terrific if a bit dusty. Good for the track.

My 260 when it had 14 x 7" wheels with 206 x 60 x 14 tyres

Fenderbender02, If your 'relatives live at Shellharbour, you could contact Nick 'Nixcars' on the Classic Z Car site. He lives not far from there and always has Z bits. He may be able to help if you get desperate. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/search.php?searchid=397020

Dave You should check, but I believe one way to get more adjustment is to use the track rods off a 280 which are a bit longer (1/2 inch or so) The problem is that they are both rh thread, whereas the 240/260 is rh and lh thread. What you have to do is get a spare steering rack and swap the rh thread rack end fitting into your rack on the car. With 2 rh thread ends you can then use the 280 track rods on your rack and get some more adjustment.

Hi Richard, Have you seen this car, although it may be a bit expensive for you. http://www.1-2-free-forums.com/mf/zcarclub-about86.html

I have posted some pics in the gallery, I hope they help.

Oops, The pics didn't work. I will check things out and try again.

Kurt, I run 215-60x14's on the rear and 205-60x14's on the front with no rubbing problems. I run 7" rims with a 3mm positive offset. I wil try and post some pics Geoff
