  1. That elbow wouldn't budge for me but that's not saying much as I'm a weakling. You don't want to deadhead the rear of the cylinder head by plugging that elbow. I did and after much scorning and reading learned not to. Here's some reading for you. https://www.google.com/search?q=bypassing+heater+core+classiczcars.com&source=lmns&bih=545&biw=320&client=ms-android-americamovil-us-revc&prmd=vsin&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjc-Y60muPwAhVD0FMKHVtyDcUQ_AUoAHoECAAQAg#scso=_OROsYLK_FIOFwbkPhIK0YA24:0
  2. Appears to be that heater hose to me. You could bypass the heater core using one hose connecting the cylinder head nipple back to the lower radiator hose. You can buy those hoses new from Nissan still, not braided but new. Orrrr cut off an inch or so and see what it does?
  3. I bought a '76 that wouldn't go beyond idle. Spider web on the afm vane had it stuck. One of my all time lucky breaks. Probably none since then and that was '86, '87.
  4. I think the covid dead cat bounce is on the ground for the last bounce. Guys aren't watching BAT like they were and the game is kind of over now. Time to tighten up those belts finally. Mine been tight so long I have a bruise around my waist.
  5. Nipple, nipple nipple nipple nipple.
  6. Another shade tree trick is to clamp the return fuel line to increase fuel pressure and see if your problem improves. Best of luck and we'd like to see some pics of this car. Sounds like a super nice '75.
  7. I think the throttle switch comes off idle contact about 2500? It may need adjusting or cleaning of the contacts. https://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/tps/index.html
  8. It had nothing on the gauge at idle but it would come up with the RPMs. I got an N42 with internal oiling cam installed just about as soon as I got the car. The motor was needing a rebuild of everything so I got started on that pretty quick. I have one of those "change over" 280s. That odd N47 head and the sloped up rear deck. Oh yeah, I have the stuff to put together an E31 with a cut Nissan internal oiling cam and I'll use a spray bar. From all I read as long as I use a turbo pump it will be fine. The race guys did that back in the days. I run the turbo Melling pump on both my Zs now anyway. One has a spray bar and the other an oiling cam. The 240 with the spray bar pegs the oil pressure gauge when I'm driving. The 280 with the oiling cam just has good pressure.
  9. My 9/76 had an OE N47 with a spray bar and internal oiling cam. Looks like has an N42?

  11. If the valves were out of whack, some too tight,some too loose, you'll get some shiny (too tight) some darker (too loose) cam lobes plus the spray bar having uneven oiling.
  12. Pan in the arse for mr. Berk.
  13. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1990-nissan-300zx-twin-turbo-56/ $500,000.00 now, ends in 2 hours.
  14. Kind of like a girlfriend, no? Take you down then slowly bring you back to good. I won't get a haircut until she makes me.
  15. My timing light lets me set at the full advance, 34 I think is wherei have it, then I run it up to 3,000 and the timing goes to zero. Can't esplain it though. I do what the voices on my classiczcars.com tell me.
  16. Ah, so the SUs pulled ahead a 1/4 a second. I assumed it was Guy's quick mind ove Eiji's? Power beats the lights. I can't figure how to watch the video! Old arse laptop only plays sound.
  17. That's what monroe's book suggest, twist the pump a half a bolt hole to get it to set in perfect. Great job!
  18. Well, well well. Lookie here right on top of the Die Hard is the website for Schumacher under "patents". www.batterychargers.com
  19. Try moving the wires foward on the distributor, clockwise.
  20. Looks off to me and these pics.
  21. Says Johnson Controls sold to Clarios LLC in 2019 when Sears went down. When I googled who makes Schumacher chargers it says Schumacher Electric. https://www.batterychargers.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DieHard_(brand) I can't find anything saying for sure but who knows? Warren Buffet owns everything anyway.
  22. That's reaction time from the winner!
  23. Check this out. LED strips on the rafters, low voltage but super bright. I'll try it someday but for now I have four 4ft led hanging lights with a pull cord on/off. https://www.instructables.com/Inexpensive-Garage-Lights-From-LED-Strips/
