loose Distributor CAP = Perfect idle
So the new one is also a defect one? change pos 5 and 6 injectors, now the problem is inj cil.5? you have a new dead injector.. I took a good look in my electr. inj. book i got for the L28 and the injectors have 6 different lines from the controlunit, so it appears to have different timing on them when to inject.. on the other hand.. how does the electronic controlunit KNOW when to inject? Answer.. (out of my serv.man. EFI) The injectors are fired twice during a complete cycle of the 4 cycle engine! It does not know where exact and it does not need to know.. every cylinder sucks it's part in when it needs fuel/air mixture. So EFI does fire the injectors at the same time and in 2 steps.. There is an air/fuel mist all the time in the intakemanifold..

It would not be the first time.. check,check double check.. As sayd.. do a compressiontest. Also i would look for a airleak.. that can do strange things to a engine. Did you know that these injectors all 6.. fire at the same time each time? Long ago i thought they fire just before the intake opens but that seems not the case.. I hope i'm right if not please chip in!!

Stainless Rear Plate Between Engine and Transmission
The plating did'nt fail on my 280zx plate.. It's the same plate for 280z - 280zx then.. As it's a daily driver this was good enough for mine.. (If i had preped it a bit (sanded) it would have come out perfect.

Bolting in Seats
As i'm tall i used 4 (2x2) from those big plastix nuts there are used under the seat, to lift the front up.. if you then put the seat in the front position it's also easier to do the rear nuts. i used a flat ratcheting wrench.

12/70 on eBay - Barn Find
I'm not at all!! If i needed a 240z i like this one.. As i have several drivelines from engine to diff and stuff.. no problem to bid 10 grand for a almost rustfree car! Yesterday i sold a original NISSAN frontwindow rubber in it's orig. plastic bag for 450 euro.. It layed 20 years in my cellar and was like new.. still.. This is stuff people really WANT!

"Brand new" 280Z
Totally agree. I don't know where the car was stored in. but if it's in a moist envirement i think you better get new oil every year. if it's in a very dry storage and not runs for a long time a 10 year period would not be a problem.. the oil stays clean like it would in a canister.. i think.... I run my 300zxtt onlt a few months a year and use synthetic oil every 2 years, (regardless of the milage (or few km in my case)) it's stored in a heated garage so i think thats safe.

"Brand new" 280Z
I'm sorry if mentioned before (i did not read the whole story..) But.. what is a 350 miles car doing with a FRAM oil filter, that was'nt standard on a new delivered car in the '70's or was it? FRAM was'nt used by nissan??? and a first 1000km or 600 miles (or so) check was'nt performed either so i ask myself where does the FRAM come from..?? FRAM is a ... i've been told.... a useless filter with paper in them that after some time starts to disolve and gets into your engine.. or is it old news very old news?

Distributor Springs. You’d think this was easy...
Many years ago I HAD THE SAME... I knew the engine ran fine with it and only one spring.. so i left it that way and ... till today it's running with one spring. 1971 feb. 240z. I often wondered could it be that it runs better with just one spring? Never experimented with it..

They think they are.. Years ago i was looking youtube on my big screen and high end stereo.. A Braun commercial cept comming through.. Then it is simple, i have made a promise, NEVER EVER BUY SOMETHING FROM BRAUN!! If we all do that, when a commercial is so damn interfering, there comes a time it will stop.. 😊 Another brand that came very close was Bosch.. so next time a Makita? hahaha..

Stock Valve Cover Finish
I think.. someone bought a new engine (with the message: no oil in this one) and installed the cover of the replaced engine and now the new engine's cover was obsolete.. and has that sticker still on. Aitoku is a firm that deals in engines probably? btw. my 1979 280zx has also a yellow flaky valvecover, it's still original.. nothing done to it yet.. (if you ask me these were coated with some blank paint)

240z head gasket replacement
Maybe you can take off the front cover without taking the head off.. there are some spots were oilpressure is on it.. put in some new (selfmade of paper) gaskets.

Remember When?
USED... I got a set NEW IN ORIGINAL BOX.. bought them in a package of many parts years ago, they are now worth the price of the whole package.. there where a lot of bodyparts like fenders and trunklid/hoods in that package. 10 years ago bought a 5 speed gearbox for a 280zx, they are now selling them for 20 times! the old price! (really, bought one for 75 euro and now they askt 1500 for them! used!!)

Parts Wanted: WTB analog quartz clocks
I was looking for one for years.. they all have the same problem (i have 2 now) .. They all need a very small (11 teeth?) gear.. sitting just in the middle of the clockwork. But where can i get these damn small gears.. the old ones crumble between your fingers.
