Restoration Unveiled Today 08.17.2019

Hahaha... i'm happy it has a alternator so i don't need to charge the battery every time i drove the car! 😂 Yeah! I know what you mean! At the moment i'm selling a few things here local and.. man... how many times i've been to the cellar (my storageplace for half of my parts..) i don't know but many times..

Z's on BAT and other places collection
I doubt this is a 280z... It's a s130 chassis so it's a zx.. What's funny.. and seldom people see that.. the Z on the bonnet... eh.. hood is put back after paintjob upside down! 🙂 Also i think when i see all the mess inside the car it drove 172,000 km not 72000km... I bet the tag under the hood says: s130 nissan 280zx.. or it no longer has that tag.

280zx 1979 2+2 slick roof restauration
Haha.. These two parts 71854-64E00 and 71859-64E00 turn out to be... FROM A SUZUKI ??? I looked up the numbers on internet and they are shields from a suzuki? I wondered where they fit, they didn't.. not on a 280zx! Someone restoring a suzuki of subaru?? Hahaha.. I think my old painterguy slipped them in my box of parts.. not knowing they are not from a 280zx. (they are on the net for 17-18 euro a piece.) There are a few things i still have to work on.. Got some new gas springs for the rear hatch. and still have to install the pump for the rear windshield washer. and the newish.. rubbers from the front stabilizer rod need some grease.. scweaking noise.. does someone know whats best for that rubber to lube it with?

Euro Spoiler:Interested in your thoughts
Thats a plus for the RUBBER euro spoilerlip.. it does not brake very lightly.

Euro Spoiler:Interested in your thoughts
I drove 210kph on germany's speedtrack.. oeps i ment "the autobahn" 😉 And it was without the rubber part of the (euro) spoiler. The car ( 240z 1971 all orignal front euro) gets a bit light in the steering but nothing scary (to me..) I'm not sure but the rubber lower part was recommended by a testteam out of europe i think out of the Netherlands?? not sure but there was a recommendation to make a spoiler (front lower lip) to make the 240z more stable.. again not sure but i remember something like that.. I once had a 240z (dutch original.. so euro type) and it had such rubber lip.. it was not retrievable. Maybe i got some (paper..) pics of it somewhere..

The first job after school was at a importer from ReVox.. Studer-ReVox recording stuff/ audio equipment , so i've been in Switserland to learn how to restore Prof. taperecorders.. and stuff.. Tapes? i got a hundred for my ReVox B215 cass. player.. i gave that one 2 years ago a service.. and all it needed were two new capstan rubber pressurerollers and some oil.. It's still going strong after 34 Years !!! Btw, Do you have any pics of those little recordplayers out of a 280zx?

Air / Fuel Meter Recommendations
Get yourself a glas.. rinse it with water.. hold it upside down.. now after 30 sec hold it on 15 degree.. what happens the last drops fall off.. I think that's best.. can't think of any other reason.

Real Humor from eddy: Song Lyrics: My car talks, man. I got one of those 1982 Datsuns. You leave yo' lights on, the car say- *dooo* 'Lights are on'. It does. I take a girl out, I leave the lights on on purpose, you know? Get out the car, car say- *dooo* 'lights are on'. Girl say, "Did your car say somethin'?" I say, "Yeah, it did." I bought it from my neighborhood though, got a different rhythm to it. You leave yo' lights on, car say- *dooo* ("black" voice) "Say, man, you lef' yo' lights on!' 'I said yo' lights is on, man! What the f**k- you blind and deaf? Turn off yo' ******' lights!" I got in the car the other day, turned the key, car say- *dooo* Hey, man! Somebody stole yo' battery! I say we go get the m**********r!" ©1982 Eddie Murphy (Stavro Arrgolus)

loose Distributor CAP = Perfect idle
Basically all metal should indicate zero Ohms.. (you will have always a bit like 0.05 to 0.15 ohms or so in the leads and the contact you try to make..) Acceptable is a reading of max 1 ohm or so.. (if you close your meter cables you must read something like 0,1 ohms or less.. if more you can deduct the numbers.. example.. you close your meter leads together and it reads 0.8 ohm.. you measure between batt minus and the engine 1,9 ohms.. your real resistance between the engine and the batt minus is 1,9 - 0,8 = 1,1 ohms.. this is acceptable. Best is of course R= 0.01 - 0,2 ohms. If you make all the contacts very clean and spray some coppergrease you will get that.

Your talking inches right? then you mean 0.04! (in mm it's 1.0-1.1mm) so 0.04 x25,4mm is 1.016 mm is OK.

What do you see here?
YUP.. windshield was cracked right at the lower left edge . tried to stop the crack by drilling (and melting, see wires of glass at top!) but did'nt succeed.. A day later the glass was cracked in more than one direction.. well that was a bummer..

Sure it's a P not a K? wrong distributor? coul be... over here in europe it's the K version only.. (In serv.man. i see no part number because there are more variations) Number at the end is maybe not so important 02 or 07 .. i don't know.. Maybe someone with a 280zx turbo could chip in..

What do you see here?
When i was busy on a car i made this pic.. what is it? For hobby i "worked" (Were present! 😉 ) for a short time at a car repair shop, the owner got pic's of repairs of his guy's of cars he did'nt have a clue what was in the photograph's haha ... sometimes you have to see the "whole" picture to know what's on the detail pic.

😂😂 I also thought what a creative test .. 😂 You need to stop with unscrewing that cap.. it has to be tight on the distr. Buy some new cap ( for a D6K81-07 turbo distributor!) and leads (if not already done.) those are old.. Inj. 6 has no impact on engine.. you mean when you unplug it (while running) there is no fall in rpm's.. Then clearly something does not work properly (yes you sayd you saw it spraying.) But the compression is'nt high enough or the spark is to weak. The plug is wet because there is no combustion.. Did you check what type of distributor you have? you need a D6K81-07 distributor and.. i bet you have the wrong one on there.. type is on the side of it on the aluminium part/shaft..

Finally Got My Garage Mahal!!!
Uhm.. I don't have the space in my garage for another machine.. i got a GoldWing of over 900 Lbs.. (410-425Kg) !! And a 4 post is ideal for service on a GoldWing.. Would that dodge fit on my 4 post? it's over 5,5 ,mtr long. (that's over 18 foot long.. ) But i'm sure the roof would get in the way because i always lift low sportscars!

I think your already going (in your mind) for a 2 post.. I'll prefer the 4 post any time.. did a motor and gearbox removal.. they go from the top in datsuns and nissans.. as far i know.. and working on brakes a problem? I have none.. 4post.. 1 very stable, most can handle more weight also. 2 Much safer (ever seen one falling of a 4 post?) 3 extra parking spot (for future people who are looking for a lift) 4 You can also use it to work on other things like a bike or motorbike or lawnmower? 5 When working on brakes or the axle you have your working bench under it for the tools! (axle is in the air on a stand in the middle.) 6 changing cars on and of go's much faster than with a 2 post. 7 you get no damn dents in your car like a 2 post often does! 8 make an extra storage.. ( i have a side and behind attick in my garage resting on 3 of the 4 posts so it supports my extra (attick)space also!) GO BUY A 2 POST! just kidding, but seriously i would not trade my 4 post for 2 new 2 post lifts.. But thats only my opinion.. 😁

Oeps.. It's not a modern petrol car.. nor a diesel.. It sprays 2 times per cycle (of 2 rotations) into the intake manifold!

Finally Got My Garage Mahal!!!
I've got a 4 post lift, an overhauld one from a spanish brand Istobal.. 3 or 3,5 tons. I prefer a 4 post because it's better for the older cars.. you don't break those flooredges.. I can't think of things i could not do on a 4 post? tell us what it is please.. ( working on an axle you can put that axle on a stand and the lift becomes a workbench for al your tools i would realy miss that with a 2 post lift.. also a 4 post is MUCH more stable!) My 4 post is most of the time a place to store my other car! Now i drive the car that is under it and comes summer/winter i change then! (summer car on summer and winter car on winter tires!) Also, if your a bike guy (like me) you can put a bike on a 4 post... on a 2 post.. not so easy..

no. If inj.#6 works thats fine. Now you say #6 compression is 90 going to 45 psi..thats the problem.. smells like stuck valves..

Q1 - Yes.. non turbo has D6K7-02 OR D6K7-04 OR D6K8-02 And turbo has D8K81-07 According to my serv.manuals.. Q2 - If your CR is 130 Psi on all cylinders thats OK. You could exchange injector one of 1-5 and 6.. the problem is now in cylinder 1-5 ?? then the new injector is faulty.. get a new one. (i understand your sparkplug is, as the cable to cyl. 6 good/new..?) As i sayd before the new part can be dead.. it happens. You better test the injector with a small ordinary 9v battery.. with a 12v battery you could burnout the coil of the injector very easely.. the 9v bat can deliver just enough power to let the injector open.. maybe the new injector you put in cyl.6 is stuck.. put it overnight in a cleaner solution like injectorcleaner stuff.. maybe that helps..
