Say WHAT?? 😃 Now Zed is hyperbolizing! (exaggerating) hihi.. 😅

C O , ( Don't be offended! I see this A LOT in American texts.. ) ... That's a big.. what we call a double denial! So you've seen a LOT of them? So funny how americans often use double denials.. It's like saying: i never had no problems with my sportscar! In our minds that sounds like you had A ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS with the car.. ( in Dutch.. Ik had nooit geen problemen met die auto.. dus.. er was altijd wel iets stuk!! Heel veel Nederlanders maken ook die fout hoor. Ik eet nooit niks... klopt , ik eet altijd wel wat! ) (In English I never had no problem with this car.. so.. At any time there was something wrong with this car!! Lot's of Dutchies make the same fault. I'm never eating anything. It's true, i'm always eating something!) Correct to me.. would have been: But i don't think i've EVER seen that bracket! OR: I think i never seen that bracket! Anyways, like i said long time ago, i;m also here because i like to keep on practicing my english language! (Like now i wrote this out of my head and only checked the word : practicing, and... i wrote it correct! nice!) @Mike and again, when i was writing this i could NOT use any of the smilies? Not available? (Gif's, yes, but no smily)

If something in the dash is gonna rattle on your first test drive, that's your first clue where this part is for.. Are you sure the part comes from inside the dash?

Yeah! THE TABLE !! 😀 Your a funny guy!

I would NEVER EVER... put a head like that on his valves, not even for a picture. Why? There is always a valve that's open and can get bend. You can now go and check for bend valves.. Only if the camshaft is not in.. then it's no problem. Always lay a head on his in/out or sparkplug side! If you want to make a pic. like that use some pieces of wood under the ends of the head.

And is the front left the caliper that is fed by the line on the front of the mastercylinder? That would suggest that there is a fault in the mastercylinder .. maybe a rubber cup was installed in the wrong direction in the cylinder near the rear and other (R) front lines on the cylinder? (But on the other hand.. would it work well if that was the case also only a small amount of time?)

I think you MUST have a leak somewhere.. as without that there can not come any air in a system that has a hard pedal after bleed.. Did you test it at the end by staying on the brake hard and feld no lowering of the pedal? If there is the smallest leak it should go down very slow.. Also i trust you started the bleeding with the rear left then the rear right and final the front brakes (does not matter witch first) Use a liter, say a pint of brakeoil and pump it through the lines so your sure there is only oil in the lines (1 pint for the whole car offcourse.) Do you use the brake pedal or do you use a vacuumpump at the claws to get the air out and oil in? At NO point of filling was the brake master cylinder empty i trust.

My Z-cars at the moment. The 240z is sold nov. 2025 as it was to much work for me to restore it again after 25 winters! of use.. (The 300zxtt is my summer car and has in 34 years NEVER driven in winter.. I bought myself a Little Mazda2 for the winter.. Maybe one day i will buy a restored 240z again, let someone else do the job! Haha..😉

That's the first thing i saw. to high.. but it can be adjusted so not a big problem, i think it's only flaw..

At 12 min.30 sec. 240z..

A update.. One month later i'm feeling good, a bit tired offcourse but that's how i felt for over 15 years now, as the doctors don't know what is wrong with me after i had 6 times cancer that went away every time! it came and went after a few month's ... strange.. There were 3 hospitals involved and not the average ones. The Radboud hospital Nijmegen (Netherlands) have a lot of knowledge in this field and can't understand what is wrong. Back to the operation i had last month, everything is healing well! The last year i had a LOT of help from my Ukranians friends i made and one of them did my gardening work and another painted my pool that i had not used for over 12 years! I installed a pool water heatpump, these things are amazing.. you put in 1800 watt and at 25C surrounding temp. it gives 16000! Watt of heating energie to the pool water! With my pool it heats up half a degree Celsius every hour! I also have a sun heating system that is restored yesterday of 500 meters of 5/8" Matt black tubing on the roof!) And guess what? Last saterday i swam for the first time in my own pool again! AND.. 2 Weeks ago i drove my 300zxtt on the German highway and at some point i had no traffic and got it to 159 miles per hour (256km/H. it was)! Because of trafffic i had to back off .. (Top speed so far known is 265kph) Just WOW! My car is now 34 years old and running if it's a year old! So.. i can say i'm doing well so far.. just have to live with small steps at the time. THANK YOU Guys for all the Likes!

Your ENORMOUSLY patient... AND FUNNY !!! 🤣 I gave up YEARS ago... But applaus, you finally got him so far to listen! (and act!) Hats off to you!!

I don't know for the USA but overhere the 280zx became standard around 1980-81 this blower to cool the injectors, On a hot summerday you could indeed get vaper-lock, this blower could prevent this. This was for the non turbo and Turbo engine. As in europe the Turbo came much later and they all had this hairdryer as you guys call it! Personally i once had a vaper-lock on a 1983 280zx non turbo on a very hot day (36C) and it's not fun, i had to let it cool down and then it would start again. The hairdryer was working but i was low on fuel at that moment and the fuel became hot because of the rapid circulation. SO i learned DO NOT DRIVE WITH LOW FUEL WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOT!

And i bet it was a beautyful and good car? It's a pity that 2+2 cars are not as wanted as 2 seaters.. why is this? I want a 2+2 because of my length 6 foot 4" so i need a seat close to the rear seats haha!

GO, find a zed 2 seater or 2+ 2 with less than 10k miles on the clock Right hand drive in this condition.. (It's in Australia and thus in Australian Dollars)

I asked last week the time, and ChatGBT answered something like it's 05:45 AM, i was talking Dutch with him and he can do that good! But the time was 22: 34 (PM) hahaha, so i told him, héy.. your talking Dutch so i want the time overhere in the Netherlands! He didn't get it! I always say a computer is even dumber than the rear of a pig! (A rear of a pig knows when it... has to go to the toilet! )

Before i started on my 280zx restore with a L28/N42 engine and N42 head i measured the compression and after 1-2 years of standing still it was a good 10-10,4 : 1 so... This was on a original euro version 280zx. (For use with the high octane fuel available, leadfree offcourse.)

Didn't read all.. Just wanted to ad, use a self made copper head gasket, you can use them over and over!! read: Copper Topper | The Ins and Outs of Copper Head Gaskets - DSPORT Magazine

The Ohm's difference is to big is my first thought. I would strip the resistance wire off the new one and careful unwind the wire from the old one and put it up on the new unit in a way that the unscratched wire is not on the contact side of the strip.. hope you get what i mean. (The old wire will have some flat points and you don't want them near the contact that is gliding over it.) What you also could do, take a ohm meter and take the new wire and measure yourself a part out of it that measures the right amount of ohm and put that on the new unit back!) Lots of succes and... take your time, make strait nice coils!

Hi, For as far i remember, the glove box can be put in from the front, for the 240z. For a 280zx i'm 100% sure it can from the front! I believe you have to take of the door.. it's probably in the serv. manual. I can't believe that there are people working on theire own cars, sometimes.. for over 10 years... and still don't have the service manual. i never work on them without one.

HI GUYS!!!!!!!!! Thanks to you all for the care. Just 24 hours ago the surgion took i guess a few 100 cc bloodclod away and even 12 hours later yesterday evening i could walk again!! It's a fabulous unbelievable feeling to walk again after a lot of brain to muscles disconnection due to unbelievable pressure to the brain.. SO HAPPY to be home and walk again!! It's the simple things we have to appreciate more! Martzedcars@outlook.com thedutchzcarguy
