I've been tuning my '72 L24 with Triple Weber DCOE 40's for some time. I have successfully used my wideband sensors to read the air fuel ratios at various loads and throttle openings. Idle mixture, Idle jets and main jets are working well. My issue is the lean zone at mid throttle. The...

For the last month or so my '72 would not turn over for two or three tries. Then it would. My wiring has all been replaced as well as the ignition switch. But sometimes there's not enough juice to fire the solenoid. Yesterday I put in a 40-amp relay and connected it directly to the battery to...

I can't believe this one exists. One amazing find. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-nissan-fairlady-z-432/?utm_source=dm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2024-01-17

I was happy to get the air box parts in the mail a few months back. After some head scratching, I decided to replace the base with a 6mm thick aluminum plate. Lots of measurements and sketching later I was ready to do some metal cutting. I milled 3mm deep slots for the clips to catch. I found...

I've had Toyota Forerunner calipers and solid front discs and Lexus rear calipers for 2 years and have not been all that happy with the braking performance. I finally decided to jump in and install Wilwood 12" vented/slotted/dimpled rotors with their 6 piston calipers to make things better. My...

I attended the monthly Pistons in the Park last Sunday. This street style rally car showed up.

Last Fall I met another Z enthusiast at a monthly meet in North Austin Texas. At first glance I appreciated his ground effects and nice wheels, not knowing that he had owned this car since he was 18 or so. As I got closer, I saw no L24 valve cover but instead two Chevy LS coil banks, fuel...

I ran across this gem today on one of my rare visits to Facebook. Yes, I'm shocked and saddened to see an S30 turned into a dirt machine. This is Texas and you just have to try and understand.

I have '72 240 with a Pertronix Igniter II magnetic points replacement with their .6-ohm coil. I later added the Pertronix Digital HP multi spark ignition box. It made my L24 with triple DCOE 40's run great. But the tach signal was very flakey. As in none for 20 minutes then a bouncy needle and...

I received a mysterious envelope yesterday with a customs declaration sticker on the back. I didn't remember ordering anything from across the pond. I was surprised and delighted to find a nice 2022 Datsun Z calendar, key fob and Z Club card and window stickers. Now I feel more like a member. I...

I just ran across a YT video with a nice way to replace and old Z gas tank. I found the place in the UK actually. All aluminum with many options available. https://www.proalloy.co.uk/collections/fuel-systems/products/datsun-240z-fuel-tank My '72 tank has been repaired, cleaned, coated inside but...
