Nice man!! i was going to do the exact shifter mod, let me no how you like it?? I cant do the cut fenders they look great but i dont want all the mud flying up on me!!

 

[1988nissan300zx]

yeah some +2 arms would be nice. and PHANTOMLORD from the little bit of riding i have done so far i like the shifter, and i took for a little ride in the snow yesterday and with cut fenders snow was flying everywhere, but its worth it, to me it looks better.

 

[PHANTOMLORD]

Hahahaha thats cool dude they do look cool,, did you just bend the shifter and cut it off and weld it to the base?

 

[1988nissan300zx]

yeah i just cut the part off that allows it to slide on the peg and then got the bend i wanted and cut the excess off to make it the length from the peg i wanted and welded it on the piece that mounts to the shift shaft. but i welded it to the front of the mount piece. i can get a closer pic if you want.

 

[PHANTOMLORD]

yeah if you dont mind, i have a yz250 direct shifter on my 88 but cant get my boots under it right so on my 01 i put the factory shifter on it but would rather it be a direct shifter style if i can fit my boots under one..

 

[1988nissan300zx]

yeah i will get some up in just a little bit, and they way mine is i have enough clerance to be able to take it of and pump it a a couple teeth of the shift shaft splines to give a little more room for my boot. but when you have it cut a part you can make fit how you want it.

Moose steel folding Banshee shifter, and you can bend it to your heart's content.

 

[1988nissan300zx]

yeah i was going to buy a shifter and bend it to fit just figured for now i would modify the stock one and it didnt cost anything. but it actually feels pretty good, so i am just going to roll with it.

 

[Johnsonty1024]

i dont think they make plus 2 a arms

 

[1988nissan300zx]

yeah it sucks that they dont make them for first gens but they make them for second gens. so they would have to be custom made. Gen1Pat has some custom made ones on his that are pretty dang nice.

 

[Gen1Pat]

No they don't. But, were there's a will there is a way...

Ok so I know that the warriors are known to be noisy as far as valve train goes but I don't know what a normal noisy is and and one that's a litte excessive, so I wanted to see if you guys think it's about right or not. My valve lash is at .004" on intake and .005" on exhaust. Thanks!

Ok so after doing some riding and messing with the carb a little more i am now at 45 pilot still and back to 4 clip on the needle and 150 main but I think I am needing to go up on the main. Does the main jet mainly affect the WOT? Also what all does the needle affect. And my needle is a y218 don't know if that's a stock one or not.

 

[loui350]

That does sound a tad bit more noisier than my warrior 1988nissan300zx

Main is WOT, needle is mid range (quarter to 3 quarter) working with the main.

 

[1988nissan300zx]

Ok I know each machine is diff and elavation and all effect it but you have a simullar set up so what are you running to help give me an idea and a ball park.

 

[1988nissan300zx]

well i decided to take the nerfs off for a little just to change it up, then went out and played in the snow for a little!! so fun but at the same time so cold.
