The higher the elevation, the less dense the air, and the more compression you can get away with for a given octane rating. FWIW...

Both of those pieces look fantastic, and for a really good price to boot. Nicely done, Dave!

I've done it and it wasn't easy. I ended up drilling out a couple of fittings to get the job done but it worked out in the end. Soak the fittings in good rust penetrant and use flare wrenches so you...

What a deal! Those seats look very interesting, any info on them?

It sure could have been.

Check your brake booster.

Nice, wheels look just like the ones I had on my first 240Z, Shelby 5-slots painted black with polished lip. :)

Many modern air bags have a 2-stage deployment, based on seat position.

Every dyno result you see is likely from a chassis dyno (to the wheels), unless it was on an engine dyno (e.g. Rebello).

It's also completely useless to compare numbers from different dynos....

Dual Weber DGV carbs are inferior to the original SUs. Now DCOEs (what Ermish is likely familiar with) are a different story. If I were you, I'd track down a set of round top SUs, or triple Weber...

Sounds like a vacuum leak/tuning issue.

Martin never implied the rod on the left would have a shorter throw, where did you deduce that from? I think you initially confused the issue when saying that the shifter on the right will have a...

I highly recommend going to a lightweight flywheel while you're in there. The Fidanza is a nice unit, well worth the price IMO. I'm using a 10lb Fidanza and OEM-replacement clutch behind my L28...

Martin is correct, the rod on the right will have shorter throws.

The shift rod movement required to engage a gear is a constant. The longer arm will move the shift rod more per degree, thus the...

Yes, that's the gland nut P/N. AJUSA was able to source them for me and were awesome to deal with. Another HBZ member recently bought the same stuff and they were able to get it all for him. Hurry,...

I'd love to do 128 sometime, I wanted to take it on the way home but it was not in the books. Thanks for the tips, Dave!



And it still is! The roads around Petaluma are fantastic although some...

I recently got new P30-0032 Bilsteins (VW Rabbit) for my Z, along with new gland nuts that fit. Search HybridZ, the info is in there somewhere. I know I posted the part numbers and source in my build...

Nice, Hwy 20 is a blast! That is, if the slow movers pull over or you go at off-peak hours. We camped at MacKerricher a month or two ago, it's a beautiful area along with the rest of Northern CA.

Nicely done Captain!



Damn. That's why I've always used scissor jacks underneath metal ramps if I'm ever working underneath them.

Yet another great idea! As long as I have some momentum before hitting the wood, I typically don't have issues getting up on them. With that said, rossiz makes a good point, and most of the time I...

Awesome find Steve and Captain!

Exactly! I have to do that with the Z and even my bone-stock S2000. It just adds one step to the process, you get used to it. :)

Some chunks of 2X4. :)

Welcome! Good to have another SF Bay Area member. ;)

You can do a leak down test but those compression numbers aren't awful. I bet some valves are just not sealing as well as the others. If your oil consumption isn't the rings, it could be the valve...
