THE LONGER THE BETTER ! - Jeff

WOW! is'nt that something? Could I just bid on a wheel/tire assy. ? -Jeff

2Manyz's - one is just smaller than 1/2" npt and the other is slightly larger than 1/2" npt. so i wonder if it is a straight thread. - Jeff

I need to block off the smog fittings on the header that i just bought. they are threaded but i do not know the thread size - does anybody know the thread size? Or is there another way to block them off. - Jeff

I bolted a new header on today ! I put a 280 head on a 240 block so i'm not using the smog hook-ups. I need to plug the holes in the header. I tried 1/2" NPT in one hole - no go. The larger hole is to big for 1/2"NPT, but to small for 3/4"NPT. Any idea what size these two holes are?? - Jeff

Mike - datsunZparts.com has new window channel felt. see weather strip page. Sells for $39.00 - Jeff

See 'for sale' forum then click on 'need a Z??' Sounds like there might be a few good ones in there! -Jeff

OOPS!! -Jeff

Zvoiture - When mine squealed like you discribed I pulled the pads out with out removing the caliper - I ground a small lead on the leading edge of the pad so the leading edge did not have a right angle to the rotor face - squeal GONE - this allows the pad to set in as that lead wears off - by that time the squeal would be gone anyway. Oh- you still need the squeal shims mentioned by bambikiller and tomanyz's. -Jeff

The breaks on a 240 are not much differant than a VW rabbit. To remove the rear drums that are frozen/corroded on you may need some heat & a hammer. Heat evenly around the drum face then tap lightly and repeatedly all around the drum face where you just heated. Should come off - mine did that way. Congrats on the Z - Welcome to the club, good times for all! -Jeff

I need a electric fuel pump & fuel damper - If you have them for sale E-mail me ---- Lobbest@chartermi.net - Jeff

Greg - I want all the emblems - How soon can i get them? E-mail -- Lobbest@chartermi.net - Jeff

Jesse - Victoria British Headers start at $239.95 Then go up. Check your E-mail for what i have for you. - Jeff

Zoom - If you want to reduce under hood temps. & are going to buy a header - buy one with a ceramic coating - The ceramic does not transfer heat very well - sending it out the back. try this , hold a 6" square of floor tile in the palm of your hand, then blast the top side with a tourch - you will hardly feel the heat and not enough to drop the tile!! The ceramic coating looks GREAT for ever!! Never have to look at a rusty header again! One brand is ' Armor Coat' another is 'Jet Hot' Jet Hot is the coating that comes factory on Dodge Viper exhaust systems - they were having a floor board temp. problem - fixed it. - Jeff

Remember to look at the firing order picture close - two of the wires cross - that had me for a time. - same symtoms as yours. Let us know what you found. -Jeff

The Hazard that my Z has is the loose nut behind the wheel!! -Jeff

I'm putting the cylinder head & fuel injection from a '78 280 on a '72 240 block. I forgot to pull the fuel pump and damper off the parts car before it went to the crusher. Do you have a suggestion for an after- market pump ? Brand? And where do i get a damper - anybody have one for me? Thanks all !! - Jeff

That 350Z got knocked down a peg or two! Than does hurt to see --- Have you driven or ridden in one yet? They grab your butt and hold it still when you turn! - Jeff

Cool !!! - Jeff

Sean Dezart - Your friend needs to find out which temp. sensor tells the computer what temp. the engine is. Sounds to me that the sensor is reading low - and yes that would tell the computer that it needs to supply more gas to warm up the engine. If that is what is happening then that would explain the increase in emissons. Try disconecting the cold start injector and see if milage increases. The temp. sensor involved is probably located on the thermostat housing. (not the one to the guage ). I hope i helped. let me know how it went. - Jeff

Maybe it is a circut breaker instead of fuseable links. - Jeff

2ManyZs -- Perfect explaination - I sorta thought it worked that way - I understand about the fuel 'pulse' from the pump,even though it is a DC motor. If I can find a fuel pump that does not produce a pulse do i need the damper? Or is'nt there such a pump. Thanks for your input! - Jeff

Thanks Steve !! I'll look around and see what i can find to put out 35 - 40 psi - The 280Z 'owners manual' shows the locations of alot of underhood parts. One pic. shows the fuel pump ( near the tank ) and next to the pump is a thing they call a "fuel damper" --- Do you know what that is for?? And do i need one? - Jeff
