Runs rich and high idle after restart
If it just started the high idle, I'd take the AAR off and clean it. Your '75 has the older routing of the hoses and gets cruddy. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/aar/index.html Forgot to say you'll not be able to take it apart like in the tech tip, I used spray brake cleaner. Cleaned it right up.

help me find tokico struts for my 240z
I was thinking you bought those used! I would've went nuts when I unwrapped that front spoiler. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/body-paint-s30/51353-new-wheels-lip-spoiler-just-got-here-d.html

Sorry to be Redundent - Help
When I needed mine 20 years later, from back in the late 80's, I called my local Nissan Dealership and talked to the Parts Manager. He knew exactly who I was looking for and gave me the name of the garage he was currently at. Said he comes to buy parts all the time for our L motors. Or you could call an import auto parts store and ask who they would recommend. I hope we can help you figure this out on your own but you may need a valve adjustment and the timing set proper, not that hard but if you don't mind somebody else working on it then that'd be the easiest thing to do.

turn signal problem help
Look down to the fourth row of images, there's a connector shown there. https://www.google.com/search?q=280zx+turn+signal+problems&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&espv=210&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=JavfUrK-K4nMsQTw2oHABA&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAg&biw=1280&bih=620#imgdii=_

I un tapped mine for you to see. It goes in between the original Datsun connectors, one wire or side only though. If you do it like mine you'd turn it to the right or clockwise to add fuel.

The pot goes inline where the bullet connectors are about 8" from the thermostat housing back towards the windshield. If you make it just like the picture with the male end off the shorted ends on the right and the female off the left side pin it'll only work 1 way. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/tempsensorpot/index.html Think of putting 3 hose pipes together, the pot is the middle hose pipe. I hope I'm helping and not confusing you. Cliff I think Fastwoman has hers under the dash in the wiring harness to the ECU. I'm talking about plugging it in between the coolant sensor wire from the thermostat where the bullet connectors are.

Wow, 3 close calls, not in one of your Datsuns! I've always heard "it comes in 3s" so maybe invest in a grow light company.

Your 300 looks great! I hope you get more than enough for it too. That VW reminds me of one of my favorite movies, 48 Hours, they used a higher price named car but pretty much the same car. It looks great and I'm sure your wife loves it too.

I was thinking the automatic transmission is the first and worst offender! Bring back three on the tree.

1976 280z Fuel Injection Issues
I thought about that as soon as I shut down my computer yesterday, your theory. I remember the other Zs I've had with the cast iron exhaust manifold ticking and clicking after I shut them off from the heat.

The police aren't helping. They won't stop the small stuff that's so annoying. They like my 80 year old neighbor driving 30 in the passing lane, keeps everybody slow but not safe.

1976 280z Fuel Injection Issues
New Standard FJ707T injectors, $30 at amazon.com, ceramic coated 6 into 1 header with OE heat shields. Horizontal shield and the vertical one too, had to trim it for the header runners. Also have a vented hood. 1/2" in and out of the rail, 5/16" to the injectors.

1976 280z Fuel Injection Issues
I've never had that problem before. Actually the fuel rail feels cool to the touch when it's idling, cost $50 to make.

1976 280z Fuel Injection Issues
That's the universal FPR I bought only to find out it wouldn't keep the pressure. I almost bought a rising rate Bosch or MSD? like in the picture but tried the coolant temp tweak and it cured my problem. So I just bought a '78 model FPR and put it at the end close to the firewall. EDIT: My problem wasn't hard starting BTW, I had a mid range stumble around 2500 RPM. The higher fuel pressure made it better at the time I was trying to figure out the problem.

If you get bored try pinching off the return line with some needle nose pliers with rubber tubing pieces over the teeth, if you have a healthy Bosch OE pump it will hit 50 psi. Do it quick though or you'll get leaks at that pressure. You may have a slightly clogged filter but those numbers you've posted do not seem bad to me. It should run fine around 30 psi. Have you measured the vacuum at the intake manifold with a vacuum gauge? Auto parts stores will loan you one if they have one, pull off the big line to the brake booster and measure there, should be between 15 and 19 if I remember right and your motor is healthy. Good to hear your progress with this weather we've had.

Posting pictures on CZCC
So that's how you're getting those huge pictures up! I wondered how you did it on the timing chain install thread.
