Video of my Z

http://youtube.com/watch?v=W2DOusqyFkk

I finally got a chance to take a video of the datsun running, there is still a little more work that needs to be done, like bleeding the clutch and resolving my coolant leak, which turns out not to be cause by the T pipe but rather one of the hoses connected to the pipe.

Anyways tell me what you think and if something doesn't sound right let me know!

Get rid of that stocker clutch fan & go electric... then you'll really be able to hear the motor better. And free up some strain on the motor.

Sounds like a pretty high idle. Sounds pretty smooth though.

burns 1 gal of 20x50 a week and it's idled up for winter, there's no idle control. or cold start. so in winter i bump it to 1K for early mornings. summer it goes back down to 500.

I just went with the MSA header's and exhaust I really wasnt looking for anything too loud, mostly cause i remember the days when i had the big fart can on my old civic and it drove me nuts that i could hear what I was thinking over the sound of the exhaust. I think it is slightly loader than before but nothing too outragous you know?
