Hello all, Some of you do Zs also, so hopefully I can get some help. I'm working on a 72 240Z that is having a problem that I just can't sort out. It accelerates great till about 4500 rpm then it jus
IMHO, if you do a proper job you will never be able to sell the car for what you have invested in it. That is unless you hold onto it and the prices rise over the years. Something most folks don't kn
I also picked up a "loud" 2 prong flasher at kragen's for $11. I can hear it clicking when the car is off, barely audible with the engine running. Forget about hearing it with the top down! I'm going
The grease fitting is a good thing. It means you can grease them and they last longer. You can tap them apart but a large vice, press or c-clamp and a selection of sockets make it easier. Make sure a
Hello all, Thanks to everyone for the tips. And the winner is......Cam advanced one tooth. When we put it together the first time we had it advanced two teeth. We found that and thought it was only o
Hello all, Anyone have any experience with the Feditco ignition tune up parts in the yellow box that have been sold on E-bay? I just installed a set of the points that did not work well at all. They
Interesting thing about venders. How do you think they got to be venders? They were not born that way. They saw a need and said, "Ya know, I bet I could do that." And guess what? We have another vend
Hello all, I currently have three sets of carbs and manifolds available. First, a 2000 set for the 68-70 cars. This manifold has the smog ports. Second, a 2000 set for the 67.5 with the vacuum fittin
Hello all, It would seem I have way too much time on my hands. Took the GPS receiver, laptop computer, tailpipe sniffer and a couple other things and went out and played around. Started by finding a
Hello all, sorry for the off topic question... I'm getting desperate. My sisters Honda Accord (1988) has a strange problem. Cold it starts fine. After running a few minutes it starts to hesitate off
The three ports on the top of the manifold can be plugged. They are BSPT (British Standard Pipe Threads) that the normal American plugs don't fit very well. I've got OEM Nissan plugs that have the c
Any good reason to not use the Z car 5 speed? I put one in my 76 and I know of a 72 with one. Bolts right in and much easier to find. keith In a message dated 2/22/2005 10:37:31 A.M. Pacific Standard
Turn your float bowl covers 90 degrees. Also check your float level, it could be a little low. Sounds like you are leaning out at the top. Try richening up the carbs about half a turn. If that helps
The Grosse Jets were a problem in the roadsters. Something with the vibration gave them fits. keith In a message dated 2/24/2005 12:22:43 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, slowboy@cox.net writes: The 70 no
Hello all, The problem of the service screw hitting the "valve return fuel assembly" (as Nissan calls it) came up a few days ago. The problem happens when the float bowl rotates on the mounting bolt.
There is a spacer under there that adjusts the bearing preload. It should be fine after you put it back together but after driving put your hands on the carrier nose. If it is getting hot then the be
Hello all, My experience with Nissan has been that some parts will show up as NLA then a while later they will be available again. Apparently NLA and temporarily out of stock are the same thing. It w
That's the vent. the fill plug is about half way up the back cover. The drain is on the bottom center. Hint, remove the fill plug first. Plenty of good stories about that, don't need more. I always
