BTW.. if you really want to put some fuel into a tank of anything/any machine, i use the fuel for 2 and 4 cycle engines used in gardening machines.. they stay good a long time, are more expensive but work the best and keep things not getting clogged up with varnish! The fuel out of the tank i put in the car that i'm driving at that time. (Often the 240z as it's used round the clock and also can run on bad fuel or old fuel.. i always say if i pee in the tank he will probably drive on that as well! 🤣 )

The project farm guy... YES, he's a good guy, always testing stuff BUT.. I can't listen to him for more than a few minutes.. He talks much TOOOO EXITED!! he shouts it out!!! (And keeps on shouting!) Do you know where i can listen to forever??? Tyrrell's classic workshop, Iain can speak to me for hours, and i'm still listening after hours! The P.F.Guy.. i would kill myself after 15 minutes, so he could learn A LOT of the way Iain speaks on youtube! Take a look at his work he's really good! Tyrrell's Classic Workshop - YouTube

That would be nice, only give me a heads up, the meter uses one big 1,5V battery and the new one that came in the case with it was a bit...empty! Luckely it wasn't IN the battery compartment as it was well rusted haha! The battery contacts have never seen a battery i think as they are flawless! Dit keer lag het wél aan de VARTA! ;-) Translated : This time it WAS the battery from VARTA that was dead! Once there was a commercial in the Netherlands of Varta that said: it can't be the battery because that's a VARTA! ;-) but they don't hold for 40+ years!

The special meter.. (Never used? and 40+ years old..)

Happy ending on the 280z injection, well done Mitchel! Repair on these injection systems can be opening a big can of worms! I hope to put my engine back into the car in the next 1-2 years and hopefully it wil still run as good as it came out but one never knows for sure.. I got myself a injection test meter for these systems original from Nissan/Datsun! So if you want to test your system with this special tool we can do that some time. Which auction house screwed you with the rustfree nonsens? Greetings from Limburg, Mart.

If someone has the link i would appriciate it very much!

Nice, people can always PM me for it at €300,- (It's a clean unscratched clock the last time i checked, if not it will be less offcourse. And i send pics before selling.)

What would be the price for a unrestored clock like that with a single knob calendar clock that is in my "collection" and IS running fine? It's for sale..

It's a EX-mouse.. 🤣

Bruce, how many miles have you driven now as i got no idea, a 1000? In my country you can't drive 350 km, you run out of land! :-) Mart.(in)

I'm almost... say 95% sure that bend in that contact arm is original.. It's there for adding just a little more stability to the contactarm.

Repairing a fuel injected car can be a pain in th A*se..😭 I would before doing anything to all the sensors in the system advice to FIRST do a compression test on the engine so you KNOW that the engine is mechanicaly in good order! Very important as with the electronics on these cars many things can go wrong. (Buy a good compression meter not expensive.) Then also check every vacuum line and all the rubber hoses in the inlet system.. a small leak will throw the systems ECCS* (NOT A ECU, how many times do i have to say this... sorry.. anyhow..) the ECCS* get complete faulty readings when there is a air leak even a smallest one will ruin how the engine will run. Also, Cleaning the electric contact with a good contactcleaner, like they use in boating is a good one look it up! Cleaning contacts can be a temporary thing when you do it with a nail file, i would be very careful with those.. (At first the contacts will work but later on they will fail if they were silver or gold contacts.) A lot of contacts have golden or silver contact points.. Golden contacts should really be cleaned with contact cleaner (or alcohol) as also silver contacts (But not necessarily on silver) @Yarb ) Copper contacts can be cleaned up with a small (nail) file without a problem.) As a (ex) electronics guy i also know in audio there were a LOT of silver contacts and.. not many people i think know this: Oxidized silver conducts electricity even better than silver itself! Really! So cleaning the silver-plated contacts is completely unnecessary and harmful, because you're making the silver layer even thinner. Again, the conductivity of rusted (black!) silver is BETTER than of silver itself! Further, as we all know gold does not rust so that is not a problem, clean it with alcohol and a cotton swab.

He will wear a red white and blue Datsun CAP! easy! 😃 (i think i have some of those old plastic grits as well but it takes more than 2 weeks to get them over there..)

Both parts... NOPE not a z part.. jmo.

Yes crazy circuit, the JDM and euro are totally different.. much easyer.
