the stuff leaking out might be synthetic. its a welded diff (spool). is it OK to use mobil 1 synthetic differential oil? 73 240Z. thanks! -james PS while im at it, how hard is it to remove the rear cover and replace the seal? ive rebuilt a couple of ford 8.8 LSD's in the cars so im familiar with the process.
porterfield makes a bunch of different pads. these came in the box of spares so that why i am using them. fortunately, the rotors look new. ill check out the bleeding instructions. why so much bleeding required? is there something about the construction of the brake system? thanks! -james
i just put a set of porterfield R4 pads on my ITS 1973 240z. the old pads were sort of glued on with this purple stuff. what is it and do i need i on my new pads? the caliper was quite different than on my other cars. no shims or springs, just those bars held in with the hairpin clips. thanks, -james
thanks for the great pic! whats a good book about carb tuning for that car? ive had EFI cars lately and never learned much about dual carbs. -james 73 240z ITS 65 FFR cobra thevenom.net
for a nice 240 you will be paying a slight premium for the 'classic car' status that comes with it. you can get it back when you sell it, of course. -james 65 FFR cobra 73 240z thevenom.net
any place of common failure to look? im new to z cars so hoping i can get some likely places to start to look. apparently they worked within the last year. thanks, -james
anything to watch out for? done LOTS of pads, but its been a while since ive owned a car with rear drums. its a fully prepped 73 240Z ITS road race car, if it matters. thanks, -james
my ITS 73 240Z came with both. the race floats look like the needle is shaved. whats the difference? and why use the street floats at all? new to z cars. thanks, -james
vic is selling his Z (two time solo II BSP national championship car). i raced in his class last season and that car is fast. beat him only once, and often a second back, even in my fast car. -james
