  1. Those are kind of high. People have noticed that some of the aftermarket FPRs run high on pressure. It should be 36.3. Your pressure readings of 40 and 32 would make it a little bit richer. FPRs are expensive though and there's no guarantee a new one would be right. If you can find another for cheap, maybe on craigslist or eBay or here on CZCC, to try out it might be worth it. A little bit here, a little bit there and you'll hit the numbers. Forgot to ask about your AFM. It's a stock Nissan part right? Some of the aftermarket AFMs run rich.
  2. Weird that it has a 5 speed. But definitely worth a look. Better hurry, it's in upstate New York. Winter is coming.
  3. p.s. (prescript) - every connection along the path to the ECU can add resistance. So clean them all, even the ones at the ECU to make sure you have the lowest resistance possible. Don't miss the bullet connectors by the fuel rail. Take your measurement first though so you'll know if things got better after cleaning and you have a better chance at emissions. The shape of the curve won't change. If you're in spec at one temperature you'll be in spec at another. People have noticed though that some sensors run differently than other sensors. In other words, the whole curve is moved, so some run leaner or richer. So, if you find that your sensor is at the high end on resistance and you want to take a chance with $28 you might just buy a new sensor and see if it's leaner than the one you have. https://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic17b08/11-3450

    Stuff that should be on the news and in our minds instead of the "reality" show. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/california-wildfires-break-record-scorch-more-than-4million-acres-2020-10-04/
  5. I'm not cgsheen but I'm pretty sure the depth comes from the clear coat. Gives it that wet look.

    Of all people, this guy should be smart. Didn't want to look weak though. Now he's 66 and has COVID-19. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/02/us/notre-dame-president-covid-trnd/index.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_I._Jenkins

    There's a new guy on the list. Nicholas Luna, Assistant. They're not showing the president of Notre Dame on this list, since he's an outsider. I wonder how many donors and golf club members have it now. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/04/politics/trump-circle-covid-cases/index.html
  8. Koni's web site is surprisingly bad, as far as finding technical information. It doesn't even have a search function. Google says that there's something about bump stops on this page but it's buried in a question somewhere, apparently. Good luck. https://www.koni.com/en-US/Cars/FAQ/

    There's only one outcome that will make people believe that he actually has/had the virus.

    I hope that somebody is planning for what might happen. His meds are pretty serious. The steroids are drastic last measure stuff.

    Humor. Attendees paid from $40 for a single ticket to $500 for “gold host” status, which included two meal tickets, priority seating, and “special host recognition”, meaning that they would be hosting the COVID-19 coronavirus. Senator Ron Johnson personally infected each guest. https://www.thedailybeast.com/gop-sen-ron-johnson-went-to-oktoberfest-party-after-testing-positive-for-covid-19
  12. Congratulations. If it still has the old braided hoses you should change them all, especially the ones over the engine. They age and crack and split and squirt fuel. It's easy to do,the injector hoses actually just press on. Procedure described in the FSM. I had really good luck with the Airtex E8312 pump. No problems, about 30,000 miles, many years. Bought it at OReilly Auto. https://www.amazon.com/Airtex-E8312-Electric-Fuel-Pump/dp/B000DT7Y7K

    This shot from the news is amusing. Is more doctors actually more comforting? Makes me more nervous.

  15. Then bent shifter route is actually pretty simple. That would do it for you. You just need a torch, or take it to a shop and have it done. Here's an example.
  16. That is super-close. Don't do anything drastic. Have you been driving the car much? Have you given it a good hard run or two? Your first post in this thread shows that you've basically rebuilt the engine. The rings are probably not even seated yet, so some of that "richness" showing could just be oil burning.
  17. The earlys can sell for good money. Got any pictures? Check your serial numbers, numbers-matching means much to many. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-datsun-240z-126/

    Eleven important people got COVID at the same time, maybe from the same event, and only one is in the hospital and has already received two experimental drugs. Not sure what to make of that. Bueller...Bueller...Bueller... Just joking, but the theory is already floating around (it actually came across my mind before I saw the mainstream news). Nobody knows what's really happening.

  20. Did you try tapping on the pump while it had power? Sometimes they get stuck and you can break them free.
  21. The 260Z was carbs, the 280Z is EFI. The hoses are metric. Make sure you get high pressure EFI hose for anything after the pump.

    Here's where things could go for some of these people. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/30/politics/herman-cain-dies-coronavirus/index.html

    And another.

    No need for apologies. The urge is very strong. Here's another for the score sheet. I'd say you can't make this stuff up, but this story was written and waiting to be published. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/519454-trump-campaign-manager-tests-positive-for-covid-19
