    Larger Anti Roll Bars - Needed for a road car?

    Some people I know use quite thick/stiff ARB but run softer suspension to get the best handling on there race cars, but then others run hard suspension and no rear ARB, I ran mine without a rear and a thin front for a while then fitted a thicker front and then a rear, to see what set up i...

    What did you do to your Z this week?

    A quick service on Friday of oil & filter, a check through the brakes & adjust the rear shoes, Then took a trip up the M4 to Esher in SE London the weekend to catch up with some old friends at a Volkswagen/Porsche show, I forgot how good it was for long trips cruising on the motorway...

    Triple Weber DCOE 40 Emulsion tube quest.

    Great news I know DCOE's can be a pain to set up right & most people never get them perfect, but when there right its great & especially when you do it yourself

    Carburetors; Webber 40s Again. Just to have one twin webber?

    By now most things have been tried out on L series engines but I haven't seen a single side draft on a 6 cylinder to be fair, It would need a special manifold and the outer runners feeding 1 & 6 would be pretty long & I don't think the float bowl on one DCOE would be big enough to feed all 6...

    Triple Weber DCOE 40 Emulsion tube quest.

    My car had F11's but was leaning out higher up the RPM so changed out to F16s's but then had to go up/down sizes on air correction and mains to get it just right all through the RPM range, I have one of those plastic organiser tray things now with a loads of spare jets, air corrections and...

    Engine upgrade time!

    I wouldn't use the Heritage kit , just the normal Jenvey's , there has been problems with the angle of the injector for the middle cylinders on L series engines . I'm sure some one else will chime in and know more than me , I have just brought ITB's for my 240z and am going the same route...

    What did you do to your Z this week?

    Thanks Rob, I did work it all out for the others on my engine, Intake length to back of valve, cam duration, RPM limit etc etc & these are just a bit bigger on the internal diameter to match the new ITB's instead of the 40mm DCOE's, So should be a good starting point hopefully

    What did you do to your Z this week?

    Designed some new velocity stacks to go with the new ITB's & 3D printed some quick protypes to see how they looked My titanium stash is running low so thought I would go a different route and make some carbon fibre ones instead, So modelled up a quick mould for them and ordered some carbon...

    Electric 240z......Late brake show....

    Interesting car been watching it for a while now & Will get more people taking about S30's that's for sure , I think theses EV converted classics have there place, mainly with rich people (that's only my opinion though :) ) because of just how much they cost, 50-60k I'm assuming that's after...

    What did you do to your Z this week?

    My ITB's turned up , they look pretty decent quality to & just test fitted one of my old trumpets , Will probably machine up some new titanium ones so everything fits inside the clear airbox I made,

    “Restomod” S30s - who’s got / built one?

    Here's my thoughts , My 240z has a tweaked L28 with triple DCOE's, S13 gearbox, Subaru R180 Quaife LSD, some R32 GTR front brakes and some oldskool bucket seats, I would call it a 'RestoMod' because its all 'under the skin' really and still looks pretty standard at a glance, but with modern...
