Well firstly I'd introduce myself, my names Luke and I just recently purchased a 260z 2+2.
This is my first nissan/datsun/classic by previous cars have been a EB Falcon with a 347ci V8 (manual etc etc) and an XF. I used to be a Ford man but got turned with a lot of mates owning Nissans (majority R31's).
This zed came up for the right price and I snatch it up.
This is it
Giving a wash sure made a difference as it had been sitting around for a while since the guy I bought it off has moved interstate
Even though its a 260 it has L24 running gear in it and a top draught single carbie. It did come with twin side draught though
It also has a lever in the engine bay on one of the fuel lines. This is one of the many weird mods it has. As far as I can tell the owner two owners back was setting it up for rally. Is this a fuel shut of valve? what is its purpose. There is also a switch right next to the fuel filler as well. The fuel system has been changed too (I will get pictures) and it is running incredibly rich, so much so leaving a couple of litres of raw fuel on my driveway from the exhaust. Number 6 spark plug looked like this when I pulled it out
Hoping replacing that will help. Also suspect that the float in the carbie could have issues. What are peoples thoughts?
Not to mention it has a push button start
Some more pictures
As I'm new to these cars you'll probably see the odd stupid/obvious question from me, but that's the learning process. Never going to know if you dont ask.
Any help would be great, cheers
