Zedrally

Thanks everyone for all your help. I never realised that there where so many devoloped over the years. I went digging for photo's of the zed last night and found these 3. This is what I need to replace!

God that took hours to downlod..... No, that's notthe one either. Front extends to far and sides are straight. Anyway at least where getting all the spoilers into one thread! [all except the one I need]........

Hi halz, It's pretty close, then again without seeing it front on it's difficult to see if it has the dimple? Any idea as to it's name?

Hi C, Sorry no photo and nothing left of the original. The best I can describe is it's very similar to the on 26th posted less the dimple in the nose and bolt to the apron rather than replacing it. MOM

Has to be an earth problem. Check the earth strap from the body to the battery. You didn't mention if the light circuit has been upgraded? If your running relays and have taken the positive directly from the altenator then you will experiance dimming lights. HIH

Can't see why not, might decrease you're capacity somewhat but I guess you're circuit racing anyway. Wouldn't reccommend it for Rally purpose or general driving. Best use would be motorkhana that I can see. If capacity is a problem look at modiying the fuel outlet to multi pickup, it is infinately easier to do than to baffle.

You would need to modify the tank outlet. Possiblly by adding a multi point pickup to the fuel outlet or baffle the tank or use a collapsable fuel cell.

Thanks for the link, I had a pretty thorough look thru it with no luck. The spoiler that 26th spotted is the closest I've seen. After a bit of thought I'm pretty convinced it would be a Ozzie AM spoiler produced by a company called Alpha Fibreglass. With the attachment to the front apron being more in the style of a BodyKit rather than a replacement for the apron, it suggests AM. Any one down here that has any more details, last I heard was that 1 owner got locked up and the other headed north!

This is close , the difference is there is no holding clips, the fibreglass just continues [flows] back alond the front apron so the spoiler when looked at from below is "V "shaped, one vee being the mount to the apron. Second difference is the dimple in the nose. The one I'm trying to replace has no dimple. Thanks a lot for your help, any idea of it's actual name? Maybe someone else can chime in here with further info as we are getting very...close.

Unfortunatley, doesn't show the type I'm trying to replace. Someone mentioned the name stone guard, anyone with any further info?

Depending on year, there are 3 differnt starting methods. 1. Models not equiped with electric pump. Pull Choke and crank. 2. Models equiped with pump. Turn ignition listen to pump, when the fuel bowls are full the sound of the pump changes. Then pull choke and crank. 3. EFI...Don't know as I don't have????? The 240[No pump] takes a few turns to start. I reason that this is due to fuel evaporation in the bowls after the last journey. It can be tempermental on cold mornings. The 260[Electric Pump], generally fires first time, I guess this is the best reason for adding an Electric Pump. No point pumping the accelerator as other have noted there is no accelerator pump! Hope it helps.

Does anyone have a collection of photos of ALL the different Spoiler Types used on the S30 series and derivites up to 78? MOM & Bar

That's one close shave, how did the rest of the rally go?

From your reply it's obvious that the choke is your problem. Whilst you can still drive without it being attached, I strongly advise you to either re-attach them or replace them if they are missing. This will also increase your fuel economy!

That's my next question. I must be a dinosaur as I have no knowledge on where to find these or create them?

Oh OZLIME, that Avtar:love:

Sorry to hear about your problem, especially if you had an un-cracked dash. The news that you don't want to hear is that there is no solution to your problem except to have the dash re-covered. One of the club sponsors offers an excellent service, click on the sponsors forum for more details. Good Luck

Might be the Uni's on the half shaft's.

Have you checked your chokes linkages?

Common problem, I've got the same on the 260. Reason being the manifold developes a warp [very slight] but enough to cause a leak. The solution is to use silicone gasket stuff [it's orange, can't remember the name]. This should be applied on the gasket faces. You could try applying it around the offending area without undoing the manifold. Let me know how you go as it might be an easy fix for a problem that I have.

Any suggestions as to which inserts would be better suited to mild dirt work. Forget about spending 6k, I could have brought a complete setup for 12K, logbooked complete with an impressive rally history if I wanted to spend that amount of money. MOM & Bar

Depending on what you want to polish, I suggest you try any Electroplaters in your local area or if you feel adventurious grab a angle grinder buy a mop and some tripoli and save some money. [Mop is a cloth wheel made togo on a tapered spindle]. [Tripoli is a cutting compound available in a bars]. MOM & Bar

Don't forget the Gold Gear knobs from Kal........
