so anywho... i gots a early style 260Z. im eliminating all emmisions garbage. but i still have the stock SU carbs adn any who. my problem is. it came with almost no original hoses. and some cut. so all the little hoses around the carbs and balance tube i have no clue as to what they are and where they go.. im gonna snap a few pics for the mystery hoses. and wondering if people can post pics of how the vacumme system is routed on these cars and the other hoses that are aroudn the carbs. i jsut dont want to do the wrong plumbing and hurt the car. or it doesnt run good you know? thanks for all who help.

Browse around the 260z pages on cardomain... or search through google & msn images.... or buy the Haynes manual.

ok here is my nightmare... aka my only problem till the Z is done... i think. so pics of this assembly right here would be soo appreciated.

these two metal connecter on teh side of the balance tube (is it a balance tube that runs across teh top of the 2 intake manifolds cause thats what ive been calling it)

this metal connector at the bottom of the right manifold

these 3 hoses on teh passenger side (i think i know what they are but i want your input)

these 2 hoses on teh side of each carb (by floats is one or both a fuel line? thats why im confused)

this random hose on top in th middle of it all

this little connector on top by this diaphram guy

this random *** long hose

these 2 metal guys at the bottom on the other end (left side) of the intak manifolds

these 2 little connectors only on the right intake manifold

these 2 tiny connectors.. one on the bottom of the diaphram the other on the side pointing towards you on some cylinder dudad

and finally. where the other parts of this T off the vacumme advance go to


sorry aboot all the pics but yeah.. i need help. and thank you all

That is a nightmare.... buy a Haynes manual.

thanks for that awsome assistance lol... ugh.. i dont want to buy a manual if people will be awsome enough to take pics for me and be like.. this goes here that goes there (on there car of coars) but if it doesnt happen i guess i will. i got a microfiche CD rom for this car and the s130 but.... it skips out on this section.. hard to decipher the limited section they have on the vacume system and that intake area

holy crap nismo.. i didnt even see the pics you posted before. thanks. that might help me out a little bit

well then... turns out i already have a haynes manual.... lol... but i still want your guyses help. post some close ups if any of you have eliminated all your emssions and have a differeent plumbing setup due to that... however i know most of you are from cali... and they are emissions ****'s... but hopefully thereis someone out there.

ok ok ok... looking threw the haynes... and the car its self... i learned... that all those lines are pure ****... lol.. they do nothing benificial.. most of tehm are the EGR lines if not they are manifold heat lines... and the water supply for the manifold heat is already blocked off on my engine block. i have a header so no EGR the only thing useful that i dont understand is the throttle opener diaphram and rod set up... like.. i got the vacumme set up for it.. i just dont know where the pusher rod connects to on the bottom of the diaphram. GAHHH... also.. where to hook up the rest of that T from the Vacume advance dizzy line... the rest though is crap crap crap crap crap......
