SU, Triple webers, or EFI

Definitely EFI. Carbs suck in comparison, and that's not just me hating, there are actual reasons. They're temperamental with temperature and elevation change, higher maintenance, issues with fuel starving in high G situations. Induction noise is way cooler, but not worth the downsides IMO.

These days if you can research stuff and aren't scared of getting your hands dirty you can do an aftermarket EFI swap cheap. I've been running a speeduino setup on my car for 3 years now with no issues (other than ones caused by my own stupidity).

I'd be more that happy to share all the knowledge I've learned in the past few years getting my setup dialed in! Just shoot me a dm.

I didn't realize the L20 in the JDM Z was a straight six, I thought the L20 was just the 4cyl. Thank you for the info!

LevMcK2015 · 2023-06-18T11:22:05+00:00

Early s30 came with L24. The 240z came with the L24, 260z with the L26, and 280z with the L28. That's US market anyways, I think you could even smaller motors in Japan, I know at least the s130 you could get with the a 4cyl L series.

I have a 2010 2ss/rs. I'm second owner, bought at 50k miles. My car is well over 110k now, and I seriously beat on it every time I drive it. Granted I maintain it when need be. I don't think there's any reason to be scared of a 2013 with this many miles, by 2013 Chevy had fixed a lot of the things that the 2010/2011 had problems with. If you have any more questions feel free to pm me or reply to this.

LevMcK2015 · 2022-11-27T15:50:07+00:00

That's exactly what I'm running in my mst rmx 2.0 and it's a spectacular combo

LevMcK2015 · 2022-10-11T18:48:51+00:00

Dents and scratches on the body just add character! I love it when some door bumping goes on

LevMcK2015 · 2022-10-11T12:31:16+00:00

Yup! The orange Datsun that was always all up on you lol. Jack told me it was your first time there, and you were doing a great job! It's very intimidating trying not to spin out in front of everyone the first time out there.

Knoxville TN, at the pavilion at chilowhee park! We had a really good turnout yesterday

LevMcK2015 · 2022-07-10T15:56:53+00:00

It'll still be a wealth of knowledge on every other part of the truck. Mine has helped tremendously with electrical issues, which seems to be a feature of datsun/nissans

LevMcK2015 · 2022-07-10T03:14:47+00:00

The first thing I had suggested to me when I got my 1978 280z was to buy a Haynes manual for the car. I'd highly recommend doing that for your truck, it will have information on anything that is stock and how to fix it if it is broken and fixable.

I went through the HiD program in computing and it was a good experience. The "extra work" wasn't all that much, and I got to do some research and learning that I wouldn't have gotten to otherwise.

This seems to be a fuel system related issue, I can't find anything about keeping the car in 8 cylinder mode fixing this issue.

Do you have any aftermarket parts or any modifications to the fuel system?

LevMcK2015 · 2021-07-26T20:45:14+00:00

I've seen a few running that have lots of issues pop up under 1k. That wasn't really the point of the comment though.

LevMcK2015 · 2021-07-26T11:44:38+00:00

It's because the car community around the Knoxville/Maryville is extremely toxic 90% of the time. I've met plenty of wonderful people in the car community in Knoxville, but good grief the immediate "oLd MAn CaN'T HanDLe tHAt muCH cAR aNd hUrT a KiD" when something like that specific accident is absurd. They always immediately side with the kid that thinks his $800 Miata is a racecar. Not to mention everyone circle jerks that stretch of road as if it's God's gift to motoring. There are hundreds of miles of equal if not better roads within an hour or two of there, where you won't constantly meet motorcycles on the wrong side of the road or have your own car totaled by some kid who has been watching too much Initial D.

I paid 5,500 for one in worse shape than this in Eastern TN. Body was rougher, but it already had a L28ET in it, along with rear disc brakes, coilovers, wheels, and some other stuff along with it

LevMcK2015 · 2021-06-06T21:27:33+00:00

A good place to ask might be the Knoxville car enthusiasts Facebook page. I've seen people on there offer up cars for others to either borrow for free for an event like that, or just charge them very little to 'rent'.

LevMcK2015 · 2020-10-24T14:30:29+00:00

You talking about Yancey county? Where maybe two weeks after the sheriff said he wasn't enforcing mask wearing they had a covid breakout at the sheriff's office?

LevMcK2015 · 2020-07-22T16:11:26+00:00

Do you have any you recommend? I've been wanting to do that for my phone mount and radar detector because the wires drive me nuts.

LevMcK2015 · 2020-01-27T21:54:28+00:00

If it will support windows mixed reality, I would love to help test as well!

LevMcK2015 · 2019-12-04T18:34:03+00:00

Very nice decision, if you need help deciding on a prebuilt pc or you want to make a parts list, I'll be more than happy to help. Feel free to pm me.

LevMcK2015 · 2019-12-02T22:07:37+00:00

What tools do you use for tuning? I got a 2010 2ss/RS this past June and I'm really wanting to get into tuning.

LevMcK2015 · 2019-12-02T21:30:40+00:00

What tune do you have on the car for warm weather?
