Project Datsun 280Z

Stage 8

This is the part I like, the AUTOMETER gauges
are mounted. This is the drivers view, I placed
all of the gauges on the tunnel because I don't
have a clear view of them on the steering shaft,
also you never have the time to watch the gauges
during the run.

Hear are the same gauges from the passengers
view. I mounted a power outlet for my tow light.
The amber light will be plugged in and placed on
the roof of race car during towing.

It's simple, clean. and should do the job just fine.
It's all about a day of fun at the track.

Race day!
Well Project 280z did make it out to the track on
race day, it just never got unbolted from the tow
truck.

I arrived at the track first thing in the morning,
ready to get my ride running, only to find a lack
of hydraulic fluid in the master clutch cylinder.

My custom exhaust pipe sure looks large in
diameter, but it never felt the hot exhaust of the
engine on race day.

Many folks did walk by Project 280z to take a
closer look and made comments about the car
being "all business".

Yet being all business, or pleasure, the drivers
seat did not see any action this day. Clutch and
fuel problems would not allow the car to run.

Regardless, any day at the track, driving or not
was fun to say the least.

New 1-5 psi adjustable fuel pressure regulator,
installed just after the manual fuel pump.
