Where'd you find this? I'm looking for one.. ?

Found some references you may be interested in reading. Information about a bracket to hold the electric pump and it applies to both SU's and Triple carb setups. They also reference a great write-up by Dave on his 1972 modification. Looks like he went with the Airtex. http://jarvas240z.blogspot.com/2013/01/electric-fuel-pump-installation.html

Unfortunately I cannot seem to locate the flow-rate requirement in the Mikuni manual. I'll do some more searching on the web. Some of the sites that carry the Nismo pump are saying it works with Weber carbs. Not sure if that carb setup has the same requirement or not.

I contacted Steve Epperly today (ztherapy) about switching out my fuel pump. He said Mikuni’s should have the capability to take higher compression pumps. According to him, a pump designed for a fuel injected system should also work. He did say the Holley I’m currently using is loud. He uses the Holley pump on his race cars all the time. But they just make a lot of noise. He didn’t have a specific alternative for me, but was extremely helpful in understanding my options. For the SU guys - He also mentioned the SU’s absolutely need a low pressure pump. You can’t give them too much pressure (definitely should not use pumps designed for fuel injection) FWIW Mike

Love those guys... they really know how to follow their passion.. My dad was like that too..

Thanks! I wonder what the Mikuni's require.. (russells around trying to find the Mikuni manual) Aha! Found it... Now I just need to convert it to PSI... oh wait!! 2.84 lb/in² - 4.98 lb/in² *IS* 2.84 - 4.98psi Now searching for something to reference the volume requirements...

I believe it's the Nismo 17010-A7601. Not sure if 1.3L/min @ 29kPa/4.2psi is enough for the Mikunis though. Not sure what they require, but I am liking the Airtex more and more due to its simplicity. Edit: Nevermind, the part number above appears to be for the HIGH flow version. Still looking for the low flow version for carbs.. m

I've been using the Holley Premium Red Electric fuel pump. It's a great pump, but, a bit too loud for my taste. I want something a little less noisy. I'm running triple Mikuni's, so I'll need something compatible. Not sure if this one will be any less noisy but I'm strongly considering the Nissan Nismo pump (if I can even find one). Zcardepot.com has them listed, but, out of stock. The K&N from MSA you listed above looks interesting.. Airtex is also a possibility... I do like the simple design of the Airtex. It doesn't stand out as aftermarket.

I made a call to Les Cannaday at CDM, he's checking to see if he has an extra that can be refurbished. FYI, I confirmed this morning that mine is leaking out from the large nut on the left side. Nissan couldn't have installed this thing in a more inconvenient location. It's going to be an interesting replacement project.

Hi Rill, thanks for the link! It looks like that one is for a 280z. The earlier 240z model has some differences. I appreciate the help!

Found this reference over at the datsun1200.com website. The same part number is used on other Datsuns as well.

Seem to be getting this a lot...

After looking this up on the Microfiche, the description shows up as ASSY-SWITCH BRAKE INDICATOR. Other posts on our site also suggest this thing really doesn't work for most cars (it didn't on mine because my master cylinder was dry due to a leak). It would be good to get it to function again, but, my main concern is mostly to get the leak fixed so I can get on the road. Here's a shot of the microfiche - Part number 46100-26100 or 46100-U5200

View Advert Brake fluid distribution valve Hi all, I'm looking for a new or rebuilt brake fluid distribution valve. This is the one thing I didn't replace during my restoration and it's time to do it. Unfortunately my current one is leaking and needs to be replaced before I drive it this summer. I did a pretty exhaustive search on our club site as well as other sites. Unfortunately, I don't see anyone mention a source to buy these rebuilt (or NOS). I want to keep the stock appearance and not really looking at attempting an upgrade. Looking for the entire valve, including switch. Can you please shoot me a message, or reply to this topic, if you know of a source? I prefer to have it ready to install because I just don't have the shop space to do my own work anymore.

Petrolicious does an excellent video about one of my favorite Peking to Paris teams.. Chris & Tjerk Bury...

I'm going to pick up a line (bleeder) wrench like this one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DHNAWDW/ref=crt_ewc_title_dp_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AMY4I718ZUBOU

What size is the bleeder valve on the front/rears? 10mm ?

I would think you could put one on the clutch slave. However, I don't know which part number to use. Anyone else know which one to buy?

Looks like I have to bleed the brakes on my 1971. Before I tackle this project, I'm going to buy Speed Bleeders to install on the front calipers and rear drums. Here's a small write up about what I've found, in case others want to follow this path. Speed Bleeders by Russell Performance: http://www.russellperformance.com/mc/speed-bleeders/import.shtml IMPORT CARS SPEED BLEEDER APPLICATION GUIDE One Person System Takes The Work Out of Brake Bleeding...Bleeding your brake or clutch line has never been easier or simpler! Revolutionary double-patented Speed Bleeder replaces the original bleeder valve in your caliper/wheel cylinder with a spring-loaded one-way ball and check valve design. This unique design opens to allow the old fluid and air out, then closes automatically between pumps to prevent the old fluid and air from re-entering the line. It's a real time saver!

I merged the threads on this same item..

Grab your son and give him a big hug. It sounds like he did some good things to try and avoid the accident. It could have been much worse. No airbags would have injured them a lot more if that other truck hit him head on. Let him know that speeding across a grating system (like the on on the Ballard bridge) needs some extra care. Lower speed and no horseplay. Buy the kid a used Kia because they will likely get into accidents as they are learning. My kid won’t get access to the Z until he has experience. ? Good luck with the rebuild or whatever you decide to do next.

Maybe just the windshield and part of the body?

Love it!! ❤️
