I paid a 71 year young man to polish this 42 year old paint. It's not perfect by any stretch of that word but WOW! Slick as a button and I won't have to get it painted for many years. He said it was like "cutting a new paint job". He tried to buy my car but settled on $250, lucky for me. Look how close it came to where the hood emblem has been.

Yes it is. Barely loosen the distributor hold down plate, put a golf tee in the vacuum hose off the vacuum advance and crank it. Turn it which ever way makes the valve train noise quietists then turn it counter clockwise about a 1/4" or so, if I recall correctly.

How old is the fuel filter? They're $15 at chain parts stores and always better than the one you have now.

Raising the needle leans it, clockwise. Richening is counter clockwise, turning the knob outward toward the fender.

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!

I used the 3M Black Super Adhesive from Autozone to hold the torn original together until I get new stuff.

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.

Mine had about a pound of rusty crud in the gas tank. Check your filters.

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)

In Alabama, narcotic officers would be waiting on you outside.

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."

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

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.

Have you cleaned your grounds yet? It really helps! http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/electricalconnections/index.html

OK, learned something new today. Thanks

I know where 5 280s are, an old junkyard, and every one of the AFMs are gone.

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.

Is the Maxima flywheel a 225mm, or something better? Just curious.

Bill Paxton as Chet! My favorite movie of the 80s.

That's my #1 tool, a hammer. If it don't work right give it a tap.

Yeah, DO IT! Park it at an apartment complex, they love rain.

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.

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.
