  1. Just purchased a '71 240Z with a Holley blowthrough (or is this a drawthrough?) set up with a Garrett AR 50 turbo and a large intercooler and adjustable boost set at 10lbs. New member, and any additional info on this set up or any members personal experience would be appreciated. Initial idea was to do fuel injection (probably Megasquirt) but the car drove really well on a 100 mile freeway run from the Bay Area to Sacramento, Still have to drive in back to Los Angeles at the end of the month. few things to take care of first including bleeding the brakes. Car was a non op since 2010.
  2. New member, Just purchased a '71 240Z as a project car. Growing up in Scotland a family friend had one of the 70 odd Super Samuris built by Broadspeed cylinder head ace, Spike Anderson. http://zhome.com/History/BigSamIsBack.htm http://www.sportscarmarket.com/columns/profiles/race/4834-1973-datsun-240z-super-samuri The car was purchased in the Bay Area, registered as a non op vehicle and has been in storage since 2010. Most importantly it is solid with only minor areas of rust, the floors have their original paint (which is more than can be said for the rest of the car ). Currently a very faded silver, previously black and originally Sunshine yellow. Engine, manual 5 speed gearbox and R200 diff from a 280ZX turbo. Rear disc brakes and Dana wheels. Induction is a Holley "blowthrough carb: with a Garrett AR 50 Turbo with intercooler. No surprise that the PO included a spare clutch No headliner, cracked dash (spare dash cover included), mismatched race seats and no heater. Rubber trim cracked and dried out same for all suspension bushings. Missing bumpers. Stops in a straight line, brakes work but there is a lot of pedal travel.
