LeonV

I've got a Momo Race, and like tlorber says, it's more precise and more comfortable. Definitely makes it easier to get in and out of the car, especially with seats that have larger bolsters. The only demerit on this wheel is that low speed effort is considerably increased, everything else is great. My wheel is also 350mm (13.78"), what size is your Prototipo? New carpet and weatherstripping are on the to-do list...

There is no MAF on these cars, it's an AFM. Blue posted a great diagram on this site relating to how much enrichment each device provides and where it comes on and off. Found it in his tech tips site: http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/efisystem/overview.html BTW, that post was 2 years old...

That's easy. ZX 5-speed and 3.9 or numerically higher diff. That's it. I think a date would be more impressed by a clean interior, having all body panels the same color and keeping the exhaust fumes out...

I removed the blower fan when I did mine, made them much more accessible. Still had to lay on my back and twist around a bit. Helps to put a towel down on the rocker...

It's a common problem, I'm with Pete on this one. I bet there is voltage going to your solenoid (you may even hear the solenoid click in the engine bay) but there is not enough voltage available. As Pete alludes to, there are many terminals in which voltage drops will occur. I had the same problem in my 260 when I first got it. The PO wired in a starter switch to bypass the wiring, but had created a dead short of the dash instruments and turn signals in the process. Stupid move. I bought a $2 30A relay from ebay, wired it in, and no problems since. Starts on the first turn, every time. Here's where I got my relays: http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-PACK-12V-DC-30A-40A-Relay-Socket-SPDT-Bosch-Style-/221021666426?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3375eafc7a&vxp=mtr

Are you the same Fergus that helped Mike from Livermore pick up my old blue 240Z? I was curious about what ended up happening, if so! Sorry for the off topic reply.

Yup, great site. Been using it for years.

Took me a bit to get used to my Momo, but it feels fantastic now. Hopping back into a Z with a stock wheel now feels strange and somewhat ungainly.

Loose driveshaft bolts... just discovered that on my Z. Good thing I caught it in time, but it did cure my high speed vibration issues.

Well it is an addiction isn't it? In that case I'm already a drug dealer, albeit not a very profitable one!

:stupid:

Here are the seat mounts: http://www.zccjdm.com/catalog.php/azcarbum/dt/pd2118870/REPLACEMENT_SEAT_BRACKETS_

Totally agree. That Z deserves a ZX 5-speed and 3.9 or numerically higher diff. You've got triples already, there's no turning back!

Very cool project, you need to post on HybridZ.org if you haven't already! Oh, and that V8 is begging for some ITBs! Keep up the good work.

I see. We're playing the ego game. If Mr. Jones has a Ford GT or a 911 Turbo, you don't really stand a chance no matter what you do. This is not a wise goal or specification in a build.

The cam is where it should be. Maybe whoever put your head gasket on adjusted the cam as well, or it's simply an indication that your chain is in good shape.

Okay, then perform the tune up and see how it feels. I can have plenty of fun with a stock L24, let alone an L28. The things that make the biggest differences in driveability are not engine-related, IMO. First thing I'd do is a 3.9 or numerically higher rear diff and a late ZX 5-speed. Those changes wake the car up, more than bolting in little bits to the engine, especially if it's stock EFI. Tires are also on the list of things that completely transform the car. Invest in those things first, after a tune-up. Refer to Braap's fairly comprehensive post on modifying an engine with stock EFI: http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/95316-braaps-l6-efi-induction-advice-and-tips/

None of those are better than a proper tune-up.

1 fast Z aka Bryan Blake: index

Exactly! Go through the FSM and give every system a tune up. The results will far exceed those from throwing bolt-on parts at your engine. Answer: a resounding no. A bump in octane will help if and only if you have pre-ignition or detonation at MBT timing.

If the engine starts to fire but doesn't catch, then yes. You need to be more descriptive of your problem, a video would help.

Sounds like a vacuum and exhaust leak to me. Spray some ether or propane around the mating surfaces and other possibly exposed parts of the intake, to check for vac leaks. Exhaust leaks will sound like clicks and should be easily detectable once the car is running.

Did you replace the intake/exhaust gasket? You may have created a vacuum leak.

Really had to dig for this one: Engine Pull? Ignore the rest of the thread... ZC.com, enough said.

Engine hoist? I dropped mine from the bottom...
