WTB ARA a/c control housing
I may have one too. It had that huge Yorx compressor by the fuel pump. I'll dig it out tomorrow and post a picture.

Video of Jet Drop When "Choke" Applied
Get him to pull a steep grade, mountain. Do they have mountains in Panama? That's how I discovered my low levels. Ran fine on the streets around here but Alabama's highest point, Mt Cheaha, stalled it out only running off the back carb.

'71 240Z on eBay with its Original Paint?
Anxious to see what it brings. Very similar to mine but one year older. Thanks for posting that.

That's great! You came up with a good idea.

We have the same OCD. Obsessive COUCH disorder. I go to great lengths to stay in the a/c but then get up in my attic and go through storage containers instead of bringing them down. I think I'm just nuts, plain and simple.

SU Hitachi 2.0mm Needle Valve Assembly
Are those the early 4 screws? They look like it. Probably the best thing I have done was putting two same length rear lids on my '72 3 screws since I could no longer buy the longer front valve. No washer stacking BS anymore.

Putting SU Carbs on L28 EFI
I may be following you again with this. You and Rossi. I hate to lose/ waste $500 of new efi parts though but nothing like the scream of SUs. If that guy had only followed through with that "hell fire" programable ECU but crickets on that. 8^(

SS Bumpers from Vietnam
Futofab.com treated me good. Zero problems so far and it lives in a humidor. They came from Vietnam also.

16 oz I can wring out of my hair. It's humid as a mother up here in between the mountains. Very little air flow.

saturday night music thread
Shine on you crazy diamond is one of the all time best songs ever. I read that whole story about the one that went off the rails. Sad story but showed me mental health has no boundaries. I think I have problems. Bullshit! I got it made being involved with all you guys/girls and a "hovering Mom.

Mine too. I usually set on 2 hours every morning about 6am then once more after lunch. Fills the 2.5 gallon container everyday. Amazing to me how much water it pulls.

Oil leak near rear crank seal, but not rear crank seal
Sorry I'm late to the thread but those felpro "nail side seals" suck. I have the Nissan part number if you want it. One of the best tips I've gotten (hundreds in all) was from @Diseazd. He told me how to get the rear cap about 3/4s down then put the sides in, push them down then torque it. Works great. I use the black RTV for oil and fuel. Good luck with your task.

You don't have issues, you have solutions. Looks good to me!

Stage 4 cam, use it or sell?
You know that would be my adult video name should I decide to go down that rat hole. Don't worry, too old now but the girl I'm with likes it.

Stage 4 cam, use it or sell?
I sent Schneider an OE Japan stamped cam and they charged $120 to get what MSA calls a stage 3. However I made a special scratch on my OE cam and it was not the one I received from them. Looked great though but I guess they use the "core" trade out method. Thanks for your input Guy! Cliff, aka Alabama Jama. We're gonna have some fun at ZCON.

feedback on timing marks with cylinder 1 at aTDC
I was going by the biggest notch on the pulley, the deeper "V" cut as is shown in Blue's picture and my 240, without using a light to get TDC. You are right though, the piston stop would be best.

240Z Vintage Rubber Floor Mats AMCO
Seems like it but all the 3D printers I've seen use a harder plastic bead for reproduction. I'm glad this thread is still active, hopefully we'll get some floor matz.8^)

Stage 4 cam, use it or sell?
You should look for the "JAPAN" stamp on the cam. If it's an OE regrind with that stamp it's more desirable than Schneiders stock cams. I I have a 270 80 and read until my eyes bled about this and found out the OE regrinds were much better. The stock they use has a lot higher tendency to wear down the lobes. My research FYI. I'm sure there's someone who'll disagree.

this is a 280 but the same. The pulley turns clockwise from the front of the car.
