Obviously as we are all aware Tripple Webbers can be the best and very powerful and Sounding sport as. But also tricky as we'v written on in another post. Instead of using 3 pairs on our cars is it possible to put just one twin webber ? Can't see why not as the old SUs ran 2 carbs. Will...

Hi all I am looking to fit SUs back on my car . I’d like take off the nearly new Tripple Weber 40s and out the SUs on . I’ve seen some from a 240 and I think they are the same as 260s

We know that new fuel tanks are expensive. Would you fit an alloy fuel cell ? If so it looks easy but is it ?

Hi all. I’ve taken the rocker cover off to see if the chain was loose. It was, which was strange as we put the new chain on a couple off month ago. Anyway I decided to move the cog to number 2 . Struggled like hell to get the cog back on which we have and the Chains nice and tight. But still she...

Set the timing on the chain as it should be per manual and previous experience but still not firing right . Have it full advance and still spluttering all over the place; misfiring . Oil pump lined up as should be . Dizzy as it should be. Maybe the dizzys gone dizzy ? It’s the electronic type ...

It’s with a heavy heart that I have my 260 Z for sale . £26500 . It’s on eBay if you’d like to see the description. A very nice car with many sympathetic upgrades . All new nut and bolt resto . I have the original wheels and restored engine. Drives perfect . Solid no rust car . Uk RHD many...

Hi on my 260 I have triple 40s Webers they are tuned correct but I am having a fuel starvation issue. Starts up fine and fuel coming from the pump. As soon as the engine gets hot it splutter and runs out of fuel. This is normally only after about 15 mins of driving. I know we can get heat...

Been a very long time since I'v written anything but now I need to get my 260Z up to scratch. I will be visiting more often. I am just thinking out loud on how so many Datsun Z fans want to change so much on their beautiful cars. I have fallen a victim of this. Now I wish I'd had an original...

Has anyone fitted the Leather dash they have advertised on ebay. They cost 299. Obviously you'd have to take the dash out but the big question is are they a decent fit and has anyone done this? Thanks

Hi it's ages since I last came on here. Been moving house and loads of other stuff. When I fitted the triple webers I did not use the return line I think I read it is not needed. But as I am getting my Mojo back to work on my car and get her to another level I think I will put one on the end...

Hi I have a Datsun 260 Z and I have been running a Pertonixs ignitor. I have triple 40s Weber carbs on the engine without any vacuum advance connected to the carb or manifold. I also have the 0.03 ohms Flamethower Coil on. The car has been running fine up until last week where the spark was...

Hi all. How much can I sell my reconditioned engine for? 260 Head and Block. It just needs the top end and new timing chain put on and front water jacket; oil gear. I will do that. The engine is running perfect in my car at the present; it is just Iam putting the original engine back in...

I have the dreaded knocking sound in my diff. I have a 1974 260Z rhd . So not sure what the model of the diff is. If I could re-condition would be great but if anyone has a spare that is in good condition or an upgrade, would save a lot of time. Kind Regards and happy new year Eddie

Hi All Merry X Mas and all that Jazz. Where on this planet can I get a set of front vented discs for my 260 I have the Hilux w13 pads on and they are working with the old solid discs ok! But finding something good to fit is becoming a daily choir. Can some one please point me in the...

I think this has been done before but I am looking for some fresh opinions as to getting a decent system and easy to fit! Nothing ever is. The ECU for example what would you recommend ? I see the crank sensor sprocket has to be the best way. Gets rid of loads of crap like the dizzy and...

Hi all I 'v just bought a second hand reconditioned engine and head. The head came with a nice looking cam that read e30 and a number 7 on it. I am installing it into my 260Z. Long story but I won't go into it. The head has been cleaned and shaved but it has not been installed and the guy...

Hi have fitted these carbs and after a lot of tuning still; as you can guess ther's issues. There was a lot of popping to begin with so changed the factory set idle jets from 45s to 50s and much less popping, just now and again. I think there is an electrical fault between the dizzy and the...

Hi all; in a bit of trouble, lost 2 Collets and brought some replacements from Concept Tuning. They do not fit. to small. My car is a l26 these are labelled L24 but I do not understand how they cannot fit. I'v tried other places to buy them but no luck. I cannot finish the engine build until I...

Simples what does the RL mean on my S30 260 Z And I'v just read an article from Top Speed were the writer says! the 260 did not come to the UK until 1979 I think she is misinformed. The 280 was produced then. Is she on crack?

Not sure what to go for Triple Weber 40/45s orthe likes of Solex Minuki 40s . Basically sick of tuning my old SUs to death .
