  1. MSA says they weren't made properly and failed quickly. Now they have an "excellent quality" reproduction. Motorsport! Rear Deck Inner Weatherstrip, 70-78 240Z-260Z-280Z Coupe - The Z Store! Nissan-Datsun 240Z-260Z-280Z-280ZX-300ZX(Z31/Z32)-350Z-370Z Parts Lot's of weather stripping adhesive available, https://www.google.com/#q=auto+weather+stripping+adhesive. I used the 3M Black Super Adhesive from Autozone to hold the torn original together until I get new stuff.
  2. Koning Rewinds would make perfect nipples.
  3. From Blue's Tech Tips, "It should be easy to see that the resistance decreases as the engine warms up. It is also worth noting that the FSM says the amount of fuel injected decreases as the engine warms up." http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/tempsensorpot/index.html If they were loosely getting contact, air from the fan as Blue said, it would do what your's has been doing. Clean them, put dialectic grease on them and crimp them together tight. Take your phone along for an hour drive around the neighborhood.
  4. Mine had about a pound of rusty crud in the gas tank. Check your filters.
  5. On carpartsmanual.com the 16010-E4302 number is a twin carburetor assssembly for an AUTOMATIC, to August 1971. 16010-E4301 is for the MANUAL transmission. Those on e-bay are E4302, or the box is. Datsun 240Z Carburetor L24 (To Aug.-'71)
  6. In Alabama, narcotic officers would be waiting on you outside.
  7. What PSI is the "recently installed Electric Fuel Pump! So this should not be the issue!" set at? You know, the fuel pressure regulators that come with " I want perfect and powerfull flow for my car."
  8. That part number is still good, average price is a little over $1,700. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=16010-E4302
  9. I bought the cheapest kit I could at the time, so much money on the rebuild I was tapped out. I've read nothing but positive things about the OE Nissan kit so I put one in my Hardbody pick up and it works great. I pull a trailer with an Exmark mower on it, 1,500 lbs and it's super strong. I have a Findaza? aluminium 225mm that's going in with the wide ratio ZX 5 speed out of a 2+2. Winter's around the corner so all my projects are coming up soon, damn it.
  10. Have you cleaned your grounds yet? It really helps! http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/electricalconnections/index.html
  11. Read post #9 if you haven't already, http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/check-out-my-ride/53162-2014-year-great-zed-rebuild.html#post465133
  12. OK, learned something new today. Thanks
  13. I know where 5 280s are, an old junkyard, and every one of the AFMs are gone.
  14. I use a Craftsman motorcycle lift for my transmission work. It has 2 flat rubber coated lifting points that the transmission fits right down in between. Another helpful thing I've found is a rubber cap for the transmission so the fluid won't dump out all over you. That one on the shifter ears is for nothing, I put it on before power washing. I used an Exedy clutch kit on mine but will buy a Nissan kit next time.
  15. Is the Maxima flywheel a 225mm, or something better? Just curious.
  16. Bill Paxton as Chet! My favorite movie of the 80s.
  17. That's my #1 tool, a hammer. If it don't work right give it a tap.
  18. Yeah, DO IT! Park it at an apartment complex, they love rain.
  19. 91% alcohol from a dollar store or Rosonol Lighter Fluid. Goof Off is mostly lighter fluid, I've met the guy that invented it at a paint and hardware show in Atlanta.
  20. siteunseen replied to SteveJ's topic in United States
    Replacing the old fluid with Red-Line 75/90 made a huge difference in the noise mine made at highway speed. The old fluid was orange, like Sunkist. My Dad said if it wasn't hot it was OK but he was surprised too after the fluid change.
  21. Oh no, they're not that bad. I had to wait 2 weeks to install my 1st rebuild is what had my blood boiling. They're like the admitting folks in an E.R, we have to deal with them but when it's all done with you're feeling better.
  22. A Crown Vic to a Z? DON'T DO IT.
  23. I always call and talk to somebody with the name last Sorkin, Alan or John or close to that. I had problems with their online account too. Where you put in your email to look up your account it always comes up with nothing. I've spent at least a grand with them and probably 20 emails back and forth because they don't prepare their shipments for coast to coast shipping, double boxing would've been great. 2 ceramic headers were damaged in shipping. End of rant.
  24. Those pics Galaxybj posted show the "other side of the story". Maybe that's the reason for the URGENCY!!!!!
