v80z

I found out that these are a set of carrera struts valved 100/300. Not sure exaclty what that means.

Ron Thanks Looks like I am running 275 front and 300 rear 2.50 diameter. I guess that is an all out race spring setup. My main purpose for the car is a street car although I will go to HPDEs in the future. I have raced SCCA and NASA in my old zcar. This is my 2nd car with a v8 conversion 76 280z. I guess the best thing to do is get a set of street springs and then change them when I go to the track. What would you suggest for a street application 175/225 seems to be a common recommendation from the searches I have done. Also I need to identify the struts I am running. I believe they are tokico brand. Not sure of the model. There is a large nut on top and it has a large slot like a large flat head screw driver on the threaded portion. Joe

I want to make my car be a litle more forgiving on the street. Right now I have sectioned struts and eibach coilover. Not sure of the strut package. I am sure it would be great for the track but when I drive it on the street I feel like a need a mouth guard. IT has a very rough ride and bounce alot oln the springs. 1. How do I identify which pound springs I have? 2. Is the rough ride a function of the springs, struts or both? 3. What is a good setup for a street machine with a few track events each year? Thanks

Dude that was awesome Looks like you jumped him good at the start then I guess he got spooled and caught up some. Practically the same mph but 3/10s less et. Awesome.

Well after cutting my fender wells and installing the ZG flares I lowered the car on the coilovers. I guess I lowerred it too much because I torn a CV boot. Where can I buy a new one ?

Good Dealings I bought an oil pump that had been modified to allow for external adjustment of the oil pressure for me old L3.0 racer

Anyone running the 3.364 rear end behind there v8 z? Impressions?

Thanks Fellas Well I got a holley 4160 750 cfm vac 2ndaries coming. I run a manual tranny. I went all the way to the rich end of the cal chart/kit. IT runs decent on the primaries but no where near as well as when you get into the 2ndaries. I am gonna put the holley on and go from there. BTW any V8 Zs running a 3.364 rear end? Impressions? Thanks

Well I almost got the edelbrock making power. I am sure there are a few of you that are familiar with them. I bought the calibration kit which gives you several jet and rod options. I studied the lean rich application chart and decided to start 1 step rich for both power and cruise. Nothing. Stumbles and falls. I decided to go to the very extreme step 29 which was at the very right hand top corner of the rich/rich chart. Took it out. OK now we are getting close. Blipped up to 5k rpm in 4th with very little trouble. I still have a Holley 4160 with vac 2ndaries coming. Also I got a 3.364 r200 shipping today should have it soon. God this thing might make it down the front straight before running out of gas. With the 255/50 16s and a 3.364 rear end. Cammed for the high end and a 1:1 4th gear at 6500 rpm gives me around 150 mph. Hoping I dont sacrifice too much grunt for getting out of the corners.

Paid for have not recieved it. Should give me a speed of 150 at 6500 rpm with 255/50 16s

I have a 4 speed with a 1:1 4th and a 3.90 rear gear behind a sbc 3.364 rear gear? camaro t5 ?

Well I 1 Went up 2 sizes rich on enrichment rods. 2. adjusted the pump linkage for a bigger shot 3 Went up one size stiffer, more vacuum, on the enrichment springs That may have been the wrong. Waiting for a test rides. Gotta get some exhaust collectors and gaskets. I will let ya know.

icewtr YEah Say you are one of the few running the 3.364 rear gear. Man I would like to get one of those. Where did you find yours. Is it for sale? R200? Want to trade for a welded 3.90?

Well Itook off the 041 casting stock heads and replaced them with World Prodcut Sportsmen 2s. Out for a open header test drive. Watch the F^(K out. This thing is ready to eat. Of course the lady on the corner had a migraine so I had to hear it from her at the bustop. Anyway I got to go through the normal carb tuning exercise as she is stumbling going to open throttle. 355 sbc .508 lift 250 at 050 so almost a 300 duration. 4 speed 3.90 rear gear. I guess that is all the pertinent data. Inital timing with vacuum is 20 advanced with mechanical ~38 Edlebrock 750 I have the cal kit and procedure. With the stock heads I had it running and making power over the whole range. Now when I step on it It acts as if it isnt getting enough fuel. Smaller enrichment rods? lighter or heavier enrichment rod springs? I did not know what a difference going from a 160 runner with 1.5/1.94 to 200 runner with 1.6/2.02 would nmake but it will require a whole new tune. Being Ignorant sure is interesting!!!!

Do you want to sell one?

Great Job JNJ. BTW. Thiose video files are huge!! Can you convert them toa WMV format so that they wont be so big?

Well I got one of my vehicles sold today. Looking for a pickup. Late 60's Early 70's GM. I am activley scouring the web. The ultimate would be one that has had some restoral with a big block transplant. PM me.

Now I see the difference between the before and after. Thanks for the explanations. You have raised the wheel in relation to the car. This effectively lowers the car. Correct?. The first impression I get is that it becomes more difficult to raise and inside wheel in the cirner. Correct?
