WingZr0

Look here and you'll see out of all his 77 items only 2 have bids. http://motors.search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZxix69 Some of his MoPar stuff look good though. And look at his 2400 OHC engine/valve cover on this one. Poor Valve Cover.. :disappoin:( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-240z-1970-Early-Complete-Stock-OEM-2400-Engine_W0QQitemZ350010327594QQihZ022QQcategoryZ33615QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem ~Z~

About as rare as a can of spray paint ! ~Z~

Maybe..... some kind of splash guard?

Did some more fine tunning and got her running smoother still #4 Fuel Injector is still gone but new one will be in at NAPA in the morning. Beck Arnely brand was recalled BTW at NAPA anyway. Check for exhaust leeks and saw the EGR Tube was puffing white at the exhaust manifold so I tightend that up right quick! Everything else looks and sounds good. Ran a Compression Test also. Let the engine run about 5 minutes are so till the temp guage read halfway and got the readings of Clyinder/ PSI 1- 145psi 2- 145 3- 145 4- 150 5- 145 6- 145 I understand it should be around 170 PSI or so. Is my readings from not using the oil trick to get a higher compression reading or is the numbers I got OK? Keep in mind I only desconected the starter selonoid and went from there. ~Z~ one day at a time ....

Don't think I seen that style before, very interestin.

Ohh :surprised I was thinking along those lines but the little booklet they gave me said it would increase life and rain traction. But saftey on the otherhand... ~Z~

Here goes the Kelly Tiresz I was speaking of from Les Shwabb for $85 each. My Performance GT Gran Prix 215/60/R14 raised white letter tires came in yesterday and they look AWESOME , so still making progress :):) they're T rated for 118MPH but I'ma have them sypened for more grip ^^ ~Z~

Yeah, I was watching that Manswers show on Spike TV the other day and saw that guy who built that car in South Africa with that flame thrower on it Now that'd work. Jus like the narrator said, "BURRRN B*TCH" !! iN OTHER NEWZ I got the car with new battery as the other one gad a short in it. Smoked alot of white clouds with the gasket sealant which cleared up. Pulled all the wires off the Spark Plugs one at a time to see if all the cylinders were going. Number 6 now gets gas, all of 'em but #4. Made sure all FI Ports were free of gasket sealant before installing them so I know it's blocked (AGAIN ) Checked for spark and was getting spark. Changed #4 Spark Plug and still no difference. Changed the FI injector connector plug and still nothing so I believe #4 Fuel Injector is now fried :surprised Timing chain sound loose (rattle like). She however is running wayyyy smother and starts on one key turn and doesn't die when first turned on no more. Shes goes to 1,100 RPM and stays there with no hesitation. Still sound a bit rough so a complet tune up and check over gonna happen for to long afther tranny shop. Hopefully with good wheater I can do my comperssion check this weakend and know more with that. On better newz my Performance GT Gran Prix 215/60/R14 raised white letter tires came in yesterday and they look AWESOME , so still making progress :):) ~Z~

Rightoues Brother, Rightoues ! O.K., Now in an ideal world does anyone have a can of 611 they'd like to sell ROFLROFLROFLROFL

Good Man No other car it'll do than a Z. Like DATSUNZsRULE said, "Any car can get you where you need to go. A special car gets you there with a smile on your face"

Anyone have a paint chip for 1977 Wine Red Metallic theyd like to part with so I can reference it for a spring repaint? Is code 611 the right number or is it 51013 Sparkling Burgundy Poly?

Who on Earth would let a Z go from that, to that ?????????? !!!!!!!!

Heloo, I was searcing the forum and found no direct answer in regards to this specific question for a 1977 280Z Trying to see if a 14x8 rim with a -13 offset clear the front wheel well without rubbing or the need for fender flares. Also how will they fit the rear. I used a tire calcutar on this website here http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp with the above demision with 14x7 Zero offset on 215/60/14 tires for the first wheel on left which is what I have on front. And compared them with 14x8 -13 offset on same tires for the second wheel to the right. Specs show my rims are 4 inch backspace aswell as the 14x8 -13's. But my rims are 7 inches wide and stick out 3 inches from the mounting suface why the 14x8 -13 stick out by 4 inches. Will this incure any problems? Will I need a thinner tire sidewall (not so bubbled out like my Goodyear Wingfoots)? Thaynx again guys for any help once again. ~Z~

Yep Your Right. BUMS :mad: After I went through all that work now I gotta pay 3.69 a gallon :mad::mad:

She started up !!!! She lit with one turn of the key no hassles. No truckish sound at all that I noticed. She ran fine for about a second or so, very smooth and very race car like, when I got 1 Rev in and she started to knock. I looked down at my fuel gauge and saw someone had syphoned off my Half Tank of Gas :mad: ~Z~

Ahh man, I was jus going to chime in and say I like how they're dark in the middle with the light ring on the outside. Coming to think of it I think my lights are kinda the same :cheeky: Enjoy the drive :rambo:

Are you insane ! :rambo: Those look like Silver Knight Rider rims No really, those are cool though, I like 'em.

If you send in a spare set of gauges as a sample, they can copy it they say on the website.

Now thats a man who has his priorities straight folks If jaz dont pan out BTW, you can always check with Speed Hut. Only heard good things about them too.

OK! ! ! ! She's all back together now Boy it was a battle with that Fuel Preasure Regulator puting the new FI hoses on. It was the last part to go on so those of you in the know know how hard that can be trying to get those hoses to go in such a tight of a space :beard: Jus awaiting juice from my buddy tommorow who I think I have to bribe Other than that, YEAHHHHHH ~Z~

Hmmmm, thats very interesting. Mine are Matte Black like Sailor said, '77 280Z with a 10/76 build date VIN HLS30360104. But the Z I pulled the spares from was another 280Z who's VIN was almost exactly 1,000 numbers above mine which I thought was cool, (HLS30361XXX). I didn't catch the build date though but it was a Silver 280Z, Black interrior, 4speed with the Silver wiper arms, (somebody else already took the blade asseamblies so I don't know what color those were) All I needed was the retaining clip off one to replaced the one the PO failed to mention was jury rigged :sleep: :cross-eye ~Z~

What color are S30 wiper arms? The ones on '77 Ruby are black and at the Tow Yard, looking for replacements, all the ones there were Silver. Except a few 280ZX's which were Black. Are there other colors for the S30's or were mine painted? ~Z~

Everything went great so far considering I didn't finish up last night, but the entire fuel rail is back in place, Fuel Injectors hooked up, Smog Lines hokked up so on and so forth with just the Fule Preasure Regulator left to go last. There was more work than I initially expected with having to Man Up and fit the new FI Hoses from MSA into place which are a tight squeeze and rebending some sections of fuel rail into proper shape. That and figuring out where certain parts went to where, forgeting to bring my pre disassembly engine photo with me from home But I pretty much figured it all out and left the FPR last having to go to work by then. BOOOOOOOO :mad: All in all I spent about 3 hours of time on her with the first half hour drinking some Organic Larger Beer from Samuel Smith Left the car ingintion in the ON poisition by mistake Wedneday :lick: :tapemouth, so hopefully me aunt can give me a jump start with her Nissan SE. Other than that though everything is hooked up and ready for a check and tripple check before starting her up today I got those wire holders by the way Blake, Thyanx ~ ~ ~ Heres a tip for attaching the exuast pipe back to the Exhaust Manifold on reassembly. Lossing the middle hanger clamp behind the Cat Converter or Trans Tunel and that will allow the Y-pipe to move more freely and line up with the studs on Exhaust Manifold and connected easily. After that retighten the hanger clamps!

I don't know, that looks kinda CODED to me (As in done, dead, finished, longer in service, no longer among the living!). Viny; stickers is not my first choice really but my First set I got from Jazmaster was around 2 years ago when I fisrt discoverde Ebay :). And it was made of High Quality type Card Stock with a smooth "like vinyle" surface which was already precut to shape with pre punched stock mounting hole locations. And no logos also unlike those other makes on Ebay with big company names on them and untrimed edges. The last set I got from him was 4 months or so ago but they were vinyle but still made to the same exact standerds as before :rambo: If I was you I'd opt for the card type if he can make 'em still. That way you can take out your original gauge faces with out messing them up with sticker residue if you like to return to stock again. I also bought some a few of his red and blue light bulbs sets aswell which are also great! That guy who outbid you were'nt WATT180 by chance no? :nervous::tapemouth ~Z~

Get hold of a Cat named Jasmater on Ebay or email him at jasmaster1@yahoo.com . He's the guy I got my White Gauges from and he can custom fabricat the style your looking for. Last I saw though he did have both the 10 and 20MPH versions. He's a cool cat with great quality stuff who lives in Orgeon and shipping was pretty swift for me here in Califonia ~Z~
