Oh wow, a real show and people getting together to eat food!!! It's been too long... SOOO glad to see this. Thanks for posting.

Guys, I'm removing myself from this thread. Let me tell you why... Since I am the administrator of the site, I feel that it's my responsibility to stay out of sharing my personal views on subjects like this. Not because I think I am wrong, but, it's because I came to the conclusion that I really have no idea what is correct. I stated before that I don't trust most information I read on the Internet... so, why would I be here sharing my views about a subject that I know nothing about. It makes sense to know that all the opinions shared within here are not the responsibility or views of the club as a whole. If I'm in here sharing my views, it can be construed as such for the club and I don't feel it's good for me to put the club into that position. I do support questioning everything though... make any health decisions based on supporting yourself and your loved ones. Take care of each other. Mike

There's a nut you can loosen and the distributor will twist. Should be a plate on it showing approx TDC and you can adjust it as described.

Wow, nice list! Very thorough..

Great find on the Craigslist ad. But, holy @#$&... $1k ... wow.

Yep that's the process I used to determine it was off. Good luck! m

Sounds like you have your answer @Cruzzar... keep us posted and maybe send over before/after pictures?

I also had a strange situation with an old Z engine of mine. The process took me FOREVER to figure out and I was about to push the car in the river. Turns out the firing rotation was 180 off from normal. I believe it was due to the fact the guy who rebuilt the engine aligned it incorrectly during the rebuild. Could this have happened with yours?

I just emailed them asking for price..

Oh baby... anyone going for the 240z seats?

I'm having way to much fun...

Hey @Zed Head now you can say you've been meme'd...

Wow that is quite the road trip! A great way to bond with your son and should be a lot of fun! Enjoy the ride.. 😉

I haven't read your whole thread because I just don't have the effort to scroll through 7 pages. But, just curious if you've already swapped out the cap and rotor for a genuine Nissan product? I've seen stuff like this happen with the cheap Chinese knock offs. I'd hate to see 7 pages of debugging information only to find out that your cap/rotor combo are poor quality or maybe even the wrong part? Just throwing ideas, again apologies if this has already been asked. I've done a lot of work on engines in my lifetime to know that cheap parts only cost you money (and time).

Without seeing a rear or side view, I bet he's running pretty wide and deep dish. Those fender flares are probably installed over cut body panels. Offset it probably not zero if he's running stock struts. Then again, if it's a race car I doubt he's running stock suspension under that car.

Congrats on the new baby! I really like the BMW Z-series and it looks like you picked up a nice one.

Yeah, let's hope... Let's pray these current shots given to the masses will eventually turn into vetted and approved vaccines.

Who doesn't need a major overhaul? CDC also suffering from massive mission drift as well...

I haven't seen the Resident Evil movies... probably would be good time to catch up. I believe another one is World War Z..
