March 18Mar 18 comment_675343 Looking great!!!!I have a very similar setup. One problem I have is the heat from the headers affects the brake lines causing other problems. I've looked for a heat shield for the brake lines but haven't found anything yet.Mike Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/58568-duffys-171-series-1-240z-build/?&page=88#findComment-675343 Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 9Apr 9 comment_675590 Very cool components, DBW should solve a bunch of tuning / drivability (cool start, idle speed and tip in) issues with the ITB's. Look forward to seeing the results.

April 18Apr 18 Author comment_675745 Here is something fun/ silly I have been thinking of and finally made. It’s a remote oil pressure distribution block made to look like the stock 240z brake prop valve. I previously had a steel T In the block, that broke off and then when I was using an easy out I cracked my stock block bung. I said never again! 3D metal printing is neat stuff. I had it tumbled to look even more cast. I run stock gauges and my ecu needs its own signal. This location allows stock wiring to also work.

April 18Apr 18 comment_675747 That's pretty cool! \What kind of pressure will it hold? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/58568-duffys-171-series-1-240z-build/?&page=88#findComment-675747 Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 20Apr 20 comment_675764 And a perfect spot to put it. After I did the alternator upgrade I used that spot for my headlight relays. The location ads to a "stock look".

4 hours ago4 hr Author comment_675970 I got my Datsun Z Car Series Oil Sending Unit Relocation / Remote Block done! I have only one for sale now, but more are on order. I am pretty proud of this design. Three outlet remote oil sending unit block. Metal 3D printed out of aluminum to look stock and mimics the 240z, 260z and 280z brake proportioning block design. Block has 3 outlets, all are 1/8 NPT. Comes with a custom length -3AN hose and one 1/8 NPT -3AN fitting and either a 1/8 BSPT or 1/8 NPT for the engine block side of the hose. Stock sending unit on a 240z is BSPT, this will require a NPT sending unit like this. [https://zcardepot.com/products/oil-pressure-gauge-sender-240z-260z-280z-70-77?variant=32184292737137](https://zcardepot.com/products/oil-pressure-gauge-sender-240z-260z-280z-70-77?variant=32184292737137)No sending units come with this order. Pictures of sending units are just for reference.
