    What happened to the 300Z?

    in 6 Cylinder Z Forums

    Posted

    anybody have any weight info on a stripped(from factory)ZX to say a later model Z.. hmmm like a 78 z vs a 79zx?? i know my 79 is a LOT quiter than my 77 z and it does a more sedate suspension.. i reaize that the early z was better handling but ive never upgraded my suspension in my ZX. it seems its more secure and less quirky because its a heavier car.. but now im a little curious but it has a much better ride... quality wise then my z. im not talking about roughness per se but the whole in general seems better. car is tighter and not as jittery. and its a lot roomier. so i always figured it was a much heavier car.

    Heres a few pics my Dad dredged up for me to scan in ... no race cars but definatly old school.

     

    His 61 vette that had the hard and soft top. had a factory hi-po 283 with solid lifters. My mom sold it while he was in Vietnam while it was on blocks for safe keeping to a friend for $200bucks... one of the reasons they are divorced im sure!! this pic was taken in front of a school in Bell gardens, CA in 67.

    and this was taken in 73 i think.. he wasnt sure on the date but this was his first SP11 and his fall from domestics to imports. His first Datsun!! This was taken in Muskogee, Ok where most people didnt have a clue what it was.

    Ported intake and Weber TB questions.

    I havnt a clue but it looks really cool! I love the color on your manifold, what color is it?

     

    Its a brake caliper color from autozone... dont remember the brand. Just wanted high temp so the paint doesnt melt underneath and near the intake runners near the exhaunst.

    Hate those pesky underhood fires while driving =0)~

    33 views and no responses... im starting to think im not loved =(

     

    no one has installed one of these TBs??

    i havnt found any info on this TB at Webers websites except for the possibility this was used in VW's for an performance upgrade since the z and the older VW's use a bosch style EFI. any other clues out there people??

    Here are some pictures of my n47 intake i ported with my dremel to use with the 60 cfm TB that was attched on a junk yard car. all that was there was the TB for some reason. All the linkage was gone and anything attached was gone.. was just the TB so i dont have any linkage or installation instructions.

    oh..it did have the reducer attched to the front so it will actually attach to the stock rubber inlet.

     

    i mounted the throttle body and used a felt tip to give me a close outline on the intake and got after it with my poor misused dremel =).

     

    i gave it a slight bevel in the porting so hopefully that will smooth the airflow but you cant probably tell with the cell phone pics.

     

    question 1. Is there anything else i can do to this intake to help with airflow? someway to smooth out the runners with just basic hand tools?? im not looking for weird possiblities just things that people have done to help. I realize that porting the intake around the TB is probably the only thing but figured it wouldnt hurt to ask.

     

    question 2. This TB is a 60cfl 2 4b . thats the stamping on the edge near the weber symbol. ive read a few threads that mention having this TB but does anyone of installation instructions?? or is there a installation exploded view online somewhere??? i cant find any other numbers on it to maybe call for instructions from weber. So can anyone point me in the right direction with installing this?? since it was already in a zcar im assuming it is the right type and has a TPS on the side already so it must have ran. but would really like to make sure to install this properly without a month of trial and error. it has outlets and inlet that dont match up to the stock TB so no real help there and im afraid so peices might be missing off the TB.

     

    hope you like the pics... that porting without air tools is a PAIN, but im very happy with the results.

     

    FIrst pic is a actual camera photo with everything attached. everything else is cell phone pic.

    TB as i found...this is the bottom if it was mounted on the intake...TPS is black blur on right.

    and a pic of the side where the linkage attaches but it different from stock?? wire maybe?

    Need advice on Really Nice Digital Camera..

    ever since the 10.1 mp cameras starting coming out... the 6 and 8 mp camera prices starting falling.. you can pick up some really outstanding 6 mp cameras now for a great price... amazon had some great prices a few weeks ago.. now that ive said that.. i just used my Bro's new Sony Alpha and man can it shoot.nice lens, simple, lightweight, and on action mode it can take some seriously quick shoots with almost no loss of quality.. good for kid shots.

    but it was around 800. my 6mp konica with adaptable lens mounts was only 349. and shoots just as fast but battery time is albout 3/4 what the sony is. just not as many options with this one. once again as mentioned several times .... it price vs function.

    Any World of Warcrack nerds here?

    bringing back the memories... i played some sweet modem turn based on my appleII lol way back in the day ..

    i didnt really get hooked until Unreal Tournament came out and then the frag fest started... i even ranked in the top 50 US players the first year they had the Eurpean/US tourny out of Vegas.. (TiVaN1) if anyone played onthe west coast tourneys you might remmber the head shots LOL ... then i got a corp job and just couldnt keep the skillz up.. sounds stupid but you do have to play x amount of hours a day to keep sharp.

    ive played EVE since beta until this summer and just lost interest and yep im another poor shlep who has lost his soul to WOW.. just started about 2 months ago. god help me

    i saw this on youtube a while back and I always question what mods that 260z had. Weren't they always known to be the slowest stock Z of them all?

     

    maybe the stig was driving it =P

     

     

    i was just ignoring that little fact =0)

    but could be the stig.... its a well known fact that what ever car he drives gains 100 hp from the heat of his buttcheeks....
