  1. That's a very interesting solution. Thanks, Jim We will now return you to your regularly scheduled programming...
  2. Jim, before we return to our regularly scheduled programming, can you post a picture of your gauges? I don't totally understand...
  3. Love it!! I would do that all day long. Bookmarked...
  4. Wasn't California recently considering moving the date up to something like 1979 for smog? Sorry for the "thread jack"...
  5. Have you checked the timing? The popping or dieseling when cutting it off could be timing related...
  6. Antifreeze has antirust properties. That is why it is important to not run straight water.
  7. Congratulations. There was a lot of rust under the car.
  8. I have ordered several things out of Australia. It is normally not a problem if you are prepared for the freight charges. You gotta pay to play...
  9. Mitchell If there is a next time you can use mine. I might even deliver it,,,
  10. That picture was perfect Cliff
  11. I like the muffler too. What is it?
  12. What are you valve clearances? Could you have lost some adjustment and not be getting good valve sealing? I would think it would be noisy with less lash...I would redegree the cam and see if it meets spec. Also Zed may be onto something with the ignition route. If it won't start with ether I almost always rule out fuel. also your AFR was reading fine, so unless it is bad too?? That would also rule out fuel. Can you verify your afr is reading correctly somehow? Swap to another race car or one of your cars?
  13. I don't know. Just send them an email and ask...
  14. Patcon replied to s13drifter's topic in 240K Skyline
    That actually looks ok...
  15. The standard rear crossmember hits the finned cover. You have to get something like an Arizona Z car rear crossmember to clear the finned cover
  16. Is it an open diff or a Limited slip? That would be my first suspicion for why it was changed. Jack up the rear of the car and turn one wheel forward. Does the other wheel turn forward (LSD) or rearward (open diff)?
  17. The 81d C is right about where it should be. Look for a short somewhere in the harness or behind the temp gauge...
  18. If you can't source the hood are you gonna be good if I make you one??? I will check on a hatch...
  19. Bruce, I understand, totally...
  20. Take the interior panel off the hatch. The push button just has a metal tab that sticks out to one side inside the hatch. When it is unlocked it hangs out over a release lever, when you push it down it pops the hatch. When it's locked the lock is rotated 90d so it is no longer over the release lever. Reach up in the hatch from the inside and find the release lever. Trip it by hand. A small mirror and a light might be good too... I hope that makes sense...
  21. These cars will take hot weather. I have run them hard in the deep south of the US in 90-100dF temps. I would think if she doesn't like high temps there is another issue somewhere...
  22. I would not do what he did. Have you contacted vintage air about recommended installs for a 240Z? Look at "240z air conditioning" and "240z AC" for what the "stock" evaporator box looked like
  23. Let me get this straight, your opinion on whether a product is good or possibly the best is whether the cheapest parts suppliers in your area carry it???? They carry what is cheap because people want things a cheap as they can get them. That doesn't mean there isn't a better product out there. It's hard to sell a more expensive product if people don't see the value... but many times you get what you pay for... No offense intended.
  24. Love the sound but have to view them sideways...
