cam gear wont go bak on!
"If the front of the car is 9 o'clock and the passenger front wheel is 12 o'clock then the dizzy should point halfway between 11 and 12 o'clock. (Not 100 percent on that correct me if I need it guys). " This bit is Absolutley crucial. i have a book at home that has a picture of where this should be at TDC. if someone doesnt beat me to it ill post overnight.

whoa this sounds like a bit of a nightmare, when you took the oil pump out did you put it back 100% on the right timing? one tooth out and the thing will either idle like a dog or wont start at all.

Help!!! I Cant Figure Out Whats Wrong
your throtlle position switch(TPS) might be sticking inside, you put your foot on the gas which opens the butterfly but if the TPS is sticking it wont tell the computer that the engine is now off idle and your mixture will lean right out resulting in a big hesitation until you air flow meter compensates and your mixtures return to normal. just a thought.

Fuel tank overflow problem
yeah it is a bit strange i know, i lot of guys fit the catch tank off the 260z, or run the hose up into the cabin so it doesnt leak on the ground ( a side benifit being that refreshing fuel smell). amazingly mines been like that since 1972 and never caught fire.

Fuel tank overflow problem
oh and datto-zed, is it definitley coming out the overflow? the start of the overflow hose is right at the top of the filler neck, the bowser should click off before it gets that high. if its clicking off you have a leak in either the filler neck, top of the tank or out of your tank return line.

Fuel tank overflow problem
Carl, Right hand drive 240's vent straight onto the ground. its interesting to see one go through a left hand corner with a full tank and spew fuel out all over the ground....

webber butterfly bypass?
its a custom system, have a look in my gallery. its been a bit of a pain in the arse but its almost sorted now, the injectors are mounted in the webber manifold. sorry im actually unfamiliar with the way webbers work as im only using them as throttle bodies,did the idle screws go in before the butterfly's or after? where are the progression holes? are these in the top of the webber?

webber butterfly bypass?
Hi guys, im in a bit of a jam, ive put on a custom fuel injection system that uses webbers as throttle bodies but i cant get the thing to idle below 1800RPM. even when the butterfly's are closed off it still runs at 1800. is there anything after the butterfly's on webbers where air could be getting in? ive take the fuel needles out as there are now fuel injectors down stream.

Wheel Size Question...
generally aftermarket coil over setups use narrower srpings and seatss, so there is a greater gap in between the wheel and spring allowing for a wider rim.

What's needed for an R200 4.11 differential swap on an '78 280Z?
Proxlamus, do you have an R200 open diff installed at the moment? if you do then its a straight bolt in, just check to make sure the flanges for the tailshaft and half shafts are the same as your original diff

new injection manifold
its a standard redline webber manifold with injectors custom mounted into the top. the webbers act only as throttle bodies. The throttle position sensor is bolted to the side and runs off the main linkage shaft. it will just be a matter of hooking up all the sensors, crank wheel, TPS, o2 sensor, air temp sensor etc to the computer and it should be going within the month

Best sounding 240/280 exhaust
