  1. Awesome, thanks Rob! See you all there.

    Welcome Nic, Z looks great! I can tell you've been doing your research.
  3. That's a great video!
  4. Stwike him Centuwion, stwike him vewy wuffly!
  5. If you take a picture of the trans, near the tail section, underneath the car we should be able to ID it easily. Nice! My 240Z is HLS30-22344.

    AFM can be: Air Flow Meter: device used in stock L-Jet EFI to determine engine load. or Air Fuel Meter: a gauge that outputs an 02 sensor reading from your exhaust stream. Totally different things.
  7. 280Z trans may have 2 "ears" with slots for exhaust hanger mounting, instead of 1 (located on the bottom of the trans, below the shifter) Speedo pinion retaining screw is at the 12 o'clock position on 280Z, 6 o'clock on late-ZX 280Z shifter has different shifter bushings than ZX 280Z trans has fill plug on the left side, late-ZX may have it on the right 280Z trans has a larger spread between 2nd and 3rd gear, and 5th is very close to 4th (500rpm drop 4-5 on a 3500rpm shift on 280Z vs 900rpm on the late-ZX) I believe the boss that needs to be trimmed when installing that header is only on the late-ZX trans.
  8. I'm totally in, that would be awesome!!!

    Right.

    It's for the fresh air vent, just as TM said.
  11. That's what roadside assistance is for! I always keep my AAA card with me, I figure the 100 free miles of towing will either get me home or someplace where I can fix the issue.
  12. My thoughts exactly!

  15. Nope, the 18 has 3 holes as well. They might be located and/or sized differently, though. The 151 has the aforementioned advantage of being able to balance individual barrels, but I'd go for whichever set is in better shape.
  16. I noticed the same thing. I can take off from a standstill in 2nd gear, as if it's first. Nice! I should hopefully be meeting with Keith next week.

    Taken from: http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/pascal-laws-d_1274.html In other words, the pressure within an enclosed volume (e.g. the balance tube) is equal at all points within that volume. This means that pressure remains the same no matter where on the tube you put that hose barb.
  18. There is a check valve in you master for the rear circuit. It was needed for the drums but not so for the disks. Take it out and you should be good to go.
  19. Awesome, I've used similar crimpers at work ($300-$400 ones) and realized that I'm crazy not to have a set, but prices tend to not be friendly. This is perfect!
  20. Nice! Your setup sounds more subdued and refined than mine, not as raspy nor the interior as squeaky. Thumbs up!
  21. Download the FSM at xenons30.com and look in the Fuel System section. Now that I look at it, it's a bit blurry, so you might have better luck with the '73 manual. The carbs are similar. "Round top" SUs ('70-'72) are different.

    Lucky you!
  23. Thanks for the heads up on the crimper! I've been looking for one just like that, that doesn't cost hundreds of dollars.
  24. It's a great tool, but might take a little practice to use. Dip it in and out of the fuel a few times and look inside the center of the PC tube. You'll get the hang of it quickly, it's an awesome tool!
