Weber disaster

All good things come with a price. As did these Webers. I waited for 3 whole months for them to arrive, and when they finally did, they miss 4 venturis and chokes plus 1 out of 3 carbs were different, later series that does not fit to old 18 series.

Well i gotta say, i just love tinkering these carbs, its like playing with Legos again. Now im lookout for a third 18-series 40 Weber, willing to trade my extra 149 series.

But the karma had surprize for my, a unused 3-2 MSA header for less than half the price!

Dual ain't enough!

Well the project is going on slowly, as it is always, especially now that the temperatures have dropped way belove zero. Garage needs to be heated at least 2 hours before any repairs are done in humane temperatures. Engine bay is now primered but brake lines and fuel lines needs to be removed before final paint. I think i'll leave that to spring, not good idea to paint in cold garage. Instead im focusing on the engine improvements.

I got my hands on triple WEBERS... we'll see how this ends..

TO BE CONTINUED..

Operation: Going Euro

I just got VERY rare Z part, and with that my z takes a turn to Euro. Part by part my plan is to convert it to "EDM or JDM" standard z. European 240z's were equipped with 5 speed gearbox and non emission balance tube. I have 2 out of 3, 5 speed tranny is on the way here. Of course there is dozens of minor differencies that i cannot yet do (no rear marker lights for example etc. etc.) but step by step. I have been enjoying driving so the updates might not be that regular as they are in wintertime, but ya'll z drivers understand this.

Sunday driving


Polished the car and went for a little spin. Weather was nice and so was the Z, no more leaking exhaust! Turns out that the main reason for stinky Z was the non-existent antenna drain hole rubber.

Winter vacation

Not much have happened since last. I have replaced the valve, but im waiting for more parts. Living close to arctic circle is a pain in the ass thing, when all the parts have to be ordered half world away. This winter seems to be a lot warmer than previous 2, its almost +-0 all the time. Christmas is a time of ultimate money consumption, but i've decieded to be cheap ass, and buy only affordable gifts, and only to few people. Saves me more money to spend on Z! Japanese car bug has bitten me seriously, i have tons of plans for my B310..but rubbing my forehead with wallet helps me to forget them. For a while at least..
