  1. The blue label is straight 20 weight and thats what nissan reccomends. Bought mine at Lowes.
  2. I've only used the blue label 3in1 myself. When everything else is working right I'm going to try different oils. Here's my short list, ATF, John Deere hydrostatic 20 weight, 10w30. I need to read more into it though as far what thickness works best for the weather around here. The 3in1 is working good so far but I don't know what to compare it to. If you're going to keep your carbs I'd spend $30 on one of these, ebay or amazon has good prices. Takes the guessing out of the process.
  3. After rebuilding the carbs you'll have to fine tune the adjustments. Here's a helpful write up from member Blue, if they are SUs. http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/39221-quick-and-dirty-su-tuning/ Hope that'll help. You'll have to upload the video to youtube then link it here.

    1st! Valve springs
  5. I wish I new enough to take credit for all he knows!! That is from the brain of a member that goes by Blue. I'm just the middle man and president of his fan club here in Alabama. President vice president and secretary. I fold up the chair after meetings too.
  6. Not too sure about the bottom bolt? Never tried that one. I think I would put a voltmeter on the battery and see what it's showing while running. Should read 14 volts or close. Cleaning all the grounds will help and doesn't cost anything. Cleaning the ground connectors is what I mean. Read through this, it's for fuel injection but you'll get the idea. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/electricalconnections/index.html
  7. Could be a bad ground? Was it doing it before you added all the new stuff? Check the battery's ground at the starter.
  8. If you do bend that cover like I did, you can take it to an upholstery shop and have them reinforce the backside with a thin piece of metal and adhesive.
  9. Here's the part number, that's all I got.
  10. Read through this too, http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/39221-quick-and-dirty-su-tuning/ Post #5 & 6 have some good diagrams showing where the adjustments are. Good luck.

    You are right, he could ask the owner of that car. http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/342533-rb-240z/

    That one is at MSA. http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic02a01b/50-1685 I like the urethane ones from Jegs too, and the free shipping. http://www.jegs.com/i/Xenon/456/3124/10002/-1

    If you're talking about zhome.com, yes it's legit. A member on here, Carl Beck is the backbone of that site's information. It's very informative.

    My Dad said "Drill Hog" was a good set of bits for him, American made too. He has a sharpener but has never had to sharpen those. Couldn't remember where he bought them though. Here's some at amazon.com, http://www.amazon.com/Drill-Hog-Molybdenum-Lifetime-Warranty/dp/B00W303I1I
  15. Never knew that Zed, thanks for teaching me something for the day. Now I can drink some beers and cut my yard.
  16. Thank you for the kind words, that means a lot to me. I've got 3 unrestored and only need 2 more. Like you, I have to add on to my garage first. We'll meet someday I'm sure. Thanks again, Cliff.

    That's what you call a "land yacht".
  18. rockauto.com has 10. https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php?make=NISSAN&ck[iD]=0&ck[idlist]=0&ck[viewcurrency]=USD&ck[php_SESSION_ID]=gv3q52jaue20u5l4f2jr4c8tv5
  19. Mine from amazon was/is. Here's the same p/n from another vendor, http://www.carid.com/aisin/engine-water-pump-mpn-wpn013.html?gclid=Cj0KEQjw9o-vBRCO0OLi2PfPkI8BEiQA8pdF4D510vY6639m1BhvtjBAIAbsGgCAkAJlK7Jo1W2cvi8aAhkI8P8HAQ
  20. This is the same, and best in my opinion, impeller design as the original. Amazon.com has the Asin for $29.99. http://www.amazon.com/Aisin-WPN-013-Engine-Water-Pump/dp/B008EEZ2XY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1441037491&sr=8-5&keywords=240z+water+pump

    Beautiful pictures of your car and the scenery. Is that a Riviera I see?
  23. I took mine apart when the dash lights went out. Cleaned everything the best I could, flipped those two plates over and now everything is brighter. Here's a write up I found that was very useful, http://www.kamikazeracing.org/dl/ZTech/Rebuild_240Z_combo_switch.pdf
