Alain can drive my Z as long as he doesn't go all purist on us! LOL Let's Petition for a ZED episode....

Okay, sounds like a plan. I will use both drivers on Simultaneous as you say. Thanks, soon I will be paying you a visit up there in New Hampshire! Fingers crossed. Yup PWM is set off already thanks. I have read the manual top to bottom about 12 times already and some things I learned...but...I won't really learn it until I start turning the key. I still have some fabrication to do before the wiring. I have all the parts lined up. Three or four more days of fab. and about a week of wiring before it's ready to fire. I can only afford about an hour a day so I am moving slowly.

Okaaaay. Hmmm. So if I do alternating, single squirt per cycle. The single squirt will be a larger squirt. Actually double the size it would be at two squirts per cycle. That would make the ReqFuel pulswidth longer at idle which is better for bigger injectors. Right? I think it makes sense to do what you did then. EDIT: Okay back again! When I try to set Megatune to Alternating, 1 squirt. I get a message telling me that I cant do that with this number (6) of cylinders.

How should I go about wiring/programming my MS-II on my L28ET with 440cc injectors, high impedance. My gut feeling is to use simultaneous injection for all six injectors, 2 injections per cycle, and wire all injectors to one bank. (like Nissan did it). If I use alternating, and wire 3 injectors to each bank, then I will only be using half the flow capacity of my injectors?...no? I confused. Someone please set me straight!!

There is a tool built into MS-II for entering three point readings of a thermistor. When I enter the data for my ZX head temp sender, it generates data. Is it creating a data map for the values I entered and loading them to the ECU? Can I confirm that the proper values got into the ECU? There is no feedback that the upload was successful.

Well undoubtably you are going to jet each carb the same. So it would not be necessary to monitor each runner with an O2 sensor. Just monitor the exhaust collector under varying load conditions. The only mixture that will be different for each carb barrel is the idle mixture adjustment. You set that with the idle mix screw and pull the plug wires off one at a time to make each one behave the same at idle. Before you do ANY tuning, synchronizing must be done. It can be done well enough with a peice of hose in the carb choke while listening to the other end.

Well, it depends on the line, the filter, and the type of fittings required. Stock Z hoses just slip over nipples on the fuel filter. Measure the nipples of the G3 filter to see if they match. Why not just use a ZX filter though?

Mmmm, Japanese gold!!

FYI, when we picked up my friends stolen Z from the Police back in 1995, the hidden kill switch was still off. The whole time, the car was not driven. It was towed or flatbedded the entire time it was stolen! Nothing was even missing from it...except a quarter window.

I like the L28ET. It's the best "classic" inline six ever built. Tough as nails.

I would love to see a Datsun episode. He would have plenty of historic, successful race cars to drive. It's no where near the same line of history as a Ferrari or Maserati but from inception to about the mid 80's Datsun/Nissan had tons of racing success.

At least it's not the dude from Pinks! OMFG what a tool. Al-you-meany-y um! ROFL

Is "cold" injector behavior, distinguished enough to need a temperature driven "Opening Time" into MS? I will be using high impedance injectors. Would they tend to exhibit this more, less, or the same?

You can take just about all the car shows on TV and throw them away. This is the only one I will interrupt my life with. Here is the Ferrari episode. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7116413514154143395&q=victory+by+design

I got the chills! Awesome.

More sophisticated? No, but I had much success with a piece of fuel hose to my ear listening to the flow of each carb and adjusting them so they all make the same sound. Personally, I would skip the "high-tech" synchronizer and tune with a heated wideband O2 in the collector and a box of jets and emulsion tubes. I used to set the idle mixtures by pulling off the plug wires one at a time and observing the RPM drop for each cylinder individually. I know it's crude but it works and it's the way the old timer weber guys did it. Weber tuning is more about driveability and throttle response than efficiency. I just my opinion and yes, I like ol' skool.

Wasn't the most reliable Saab rated last year, actually a Subaru?

You'd be surprised they have better internet access than we do. I'm sure we will hear from you from Holland. I was there on business a few years ago. Oh the girls, oh the girls in skirts, oh the girls in skirts on bicycles! Everywhere! Have fun.

Yeah if you find it while it's "cooling down" you can get it back in one peice.

It's all going to come together when you lower it. That's all that's missing. Looks awesome.

Joe that really sucks! I hope everyone got out OK.

Nope, it's a JSK rail from my home state of NY. Came with brass fittings. Fabricated my own brackets.

It could have been worse. My basement is unfinished and the valuables were on the higher shelves. I may seem calm but I was pretty tense yesterday. I did the math, I pumped about 3000 gallons of water out in 14 hours.

Well at 2am this morning, I was standing on the Christmas tree stand in the basement, in my boxer shorts, with a squeegee pushing the remaining water towards the submersible pump. At 2:30am I called it a night and I think the dish soap trick worked fairly well. I still have the basement ventilated with a fan but the concrete is starting to dry already. I didn't lose the 80's records. I lost some old books, a box of holiday decorations, some sleep, and some brain cells from the kerosene vapor. Glad it's over! Now back to working on the Z.

Yeah tell us more about the process! Looks nice. I might just use some gray primer on mine to go for the ceramic look! J/K
