Haha yeah, I would imagine they're relatively short! It's something I'm actually thinking of doing in the future when I start to become really serious with the engine. Funny enough, I found myself grabbing a complete E31 head not too long ago. Still deciding whether to hold off the head for when I acquire an F54 block, or just slap it on my existing L24 block. Decisions, decisions.
On that note, I'm living a lot closer to you these days. As a matter of fact, I just live a couple of minutes away from Yoshi, and I see him nearly every week. So seeing the car is actually a pretty good possibility

Oh my, having the intake manifold pinned to the head, and that port match is just absolutely stunning. If I didn't know any better, I would have thought the intake port never ended!
And that's a good tip about the difference between the L24 and L28 HG. Would come in handy in the event the wrong HG is sent to me, and I have something like an E31 on an F54 brewing.
Question about the head cap screws for your intake manifold pin, it's not *that* deep into the head is it? Guessing it's something like just a few mm thread lengths in, or somewhere similar? That pin definitely piqued my interest, if it means that the ports would be aligned with close to 100% certainty

I could finally follow your build, aside from IG
Lookin' pretty good! Those T3 stacks look the business -
Oh my goodness, she sounds good! Haven't been on the forums since school started. I comeback and I hear your RB crank over

Filthy and dirty engine bay. Expected for a car I drive nearly everyday

I plan on staying with the stock tb and intake manifold for a while. ITB's are definately out of my budget at the moment but I love the idea of it. winstonusmc has a really nice itb set-up on his rb25de.
They're definitely high up there. I've seen some ITB setups around and they're pretty sweet. I actually just took a look at his, and it's definitely a cool get up.
Aside from that, thought about doing both paint and wrap? I've always thought about doing so, rather than just using titanium wrap, doing both, I would imagine, makes it so that any moisture trapped will be held in between the paint and the wrap. Wouldn't have to worry about rusting out the headers, then again I don't know how you'll be able to cure the paint though, and I've only ever thought about it, without much more thought.
-
Extractors came in today, will need a fresh coat of paint, or maybe header wrap them?
Now THAT'S beauty.
Since you're sticking with NA, are you going to stay with the stock RB25DE TB setup, or go all out with an ITB setup?

Blackhawk Cars & Coffee in Danville. Sounds like it's a morning thing. Have you been before? Curious what is the best time to arrive.
Been there more than I could count. Ideally, you would want to be there early. My friends and I usually get there by 7:15 am. Earlier if you want to get into a premier spot, but then we're talking about 6:30 am, already at Blackhawk

As long as I'm not on vacation, I'll probably be at the June Cars & Coffee BlackHawk.
My son and his friends had a great time at the show. The Zed got a bunch of attention, since there aren't too many of them. The Orange color helps as well.
Peter Brock signed my Ash Tray cover....
At least a done up Zed get's attention. Nobody really notices mine since it's pretty rough
Maaaaan, I would love for him to sign my glove box door.
-
Tardi to the party, but it was good meeting both of you guys! Hopefully I get to see you both at the upcoming cars and coffee in June. I'm trying to get my buddies from the swap meet to come with.
I'm sooooo jealous you get to meet Peter Brock! I want to have all the things signed!

I've been trawling through Japanese websites about S30s lately, and surprise surprise, I came across people over there struggling with the old pilot to main jet stumble. From what I gather, they blame the OA style jet blocks and replace them with different ones. May I present to you the "Wako SPL Jet Block" from AS Watanabe!
Pics stolen from this link:

Looks interesting.

5000 yen is about $40 USD each.
Good find! They look similar to Weber Emulsion tubes.
I also learned recently that there is another type of Mikuni/Solex jet block, Type 8. They have interchangeable bleed pipes inside the jetblock to change the characteristics of fuel atomization(Quoted from my PHH service manual. Swapping bleed pipes and modifying the holes is similar to swapping Weber E-Tubes.)

Never would I have thought of using a vacuum to check for a bent throttle shaft/knicked throttle plate(s). Good thinking! Now I can steal this trick for any future Sidedrafts that I come in contact with
Out of genuine curiosity, how did you open up the gasket ports? -
Oh man, that Wideband gauge looks sweet! Never knew they made a stepper motor style. I'm slightly tempted to find a used one to swap gauges hehe.
-
Awesome! I find myself in Pleasanton almost everyweek, so the next time I'm over, I'll definitely come and pop on by
-
Looking good! And you're pretty local! You're just a stone's throw away from me

Got most of the (hopefully) correct size lash pads and the rest are on the way. Had to get .190", .210", and .220" pads. One of them will stay .205". Four different sizes, yeesh...
Also, my birthday present to myself finally arrived!
Oh man, that Comp wheel. So envious

The first drive I took it on it ran hot and the radiator sprung a leak. I changed it out for an extra one I had laying around and it fixed the overheating problem but then it was running to cold. Found out there wasn't a thermostat at all. I put in a thermostat and it stays right smack in the middle now. Drives nice, suspension feels great. Upon breaking the car pulls slightly to the right but overall a fun ride for just getting back on it's legs again.
Took it for it's first drive out of the neighbor hood on an extremely rare snowy day. Next up getting the exhaust welded up Friday hopefully.
When I parked to take this picture a group of young kids around 14 were walking by and one asked, what kind of car is that? I told him a Datsun 240z. He told his friends "I told you so!" Another kid, " I thought it was a Ferrari".. Another kid, "I thought it was a Lamborghini"
It's a Jaguar!
In all seriousness, she's out and about! Making great progress
I was about to say "SoCal.. Snow?" Then I realized it snowed yesterday/today. Had the hint from a buddy who lives in Temacula, and she was building a snowman down there haha.
-
Ahh I see, I'm a fan of both. A buddy of mine has a color scheme similar to the Z432R, it's pretty sweet.
Regardless, I'll be following your progress! Can't wait to see how she goes -
looking good, is that the color you are going with?
I would assume so, getting that Z432 scheme
Question: What mounts are you using? McKinney mounts or self fab'd mounts?
-
Very nice! Good to see her waking up

Cobra Imola bucket seat in a 240z. Centered. Shoulder bolsters hits the doorcard slightly (really really really small. The outer cushion goes in by 1-2mm)
-
Josel,
I'm hardly ever on here now with social media making everything so damn accessible. Much easier to search for #240z on IG and look at cool cars. So car is back up and you're back on the road now right? I looked at your build thread and didn't see the updates on the carb rebuilds.
Yeah, my car is back up and running. And as for the carbs, I forgot to document everything step by step, I ended up just taking some artsy pictures for IG, and moved on haha.

Looking pretty good! I've finally seen your build thread haha

clockwise to raise float level, counter-clockwise to lower float level.
If you use the OER sight tool, you stick the tool inside the orifice of where the emulsion tube sits, you put your finger over the hole on the tool, and pull the tool out. Observe where the fuel is sitting, and make adjustments accordingly.
