I once cleaned the valves and they were not even dirty or so.. i think they have a bit of wear.. I will check the fuelpressure when i can and then i know what parts i need to replace, Thanks Mark!

I have a question regarding these old pumps, i got a 50 year old pump on my 240z and i asked myself.. now in this pandemic i use my cars less and less and the 240z starts right up and then after a few sec's suddenly stops.. i then need to clear the carb needle valves (just blow some air as the carbs are vented to the airbox) and the fuel gets in the carb and the car fires right up.. (after a few weeks same story again..) Can it be that i just need to change my fuelpump.. does anyone know what the pressure should be of such an old mech.pump? I think to replace the pump anyways as it's antique! Or are my carb needle valves getting old and need new ones? If i drive the car once a week it 's no problem... also asked myself if that damn "good" fuel 🙄 we have these days is the culprit? (no lubrication in the needle valves.)

Wow.. you have a lot of work there, is that undercoating on the plastic fenderliners? I just needed to clean mine with a pressurewasher.. Most of the paint in my engineroom is still there.. i just need to sand it a bit clean and paint it.. The engine is ready to go in.. Haven't made any pics yet.. now 2 month's pause.. i'm not motivated and the heater in my garage is broken.. so as it is a bit cold i'm even less motivated unfortunately.🥱

And??? 😁 DID you get one?? Use a plastic gauge to test the gaps that way you don't scratch the panels.

I always start at the rear and work to the front.. as there are the most adjustable parts.. a rear part (rear wheel fender is part of the chassis) Then the gap is always smaller on oldtimers than on "modern" cars.. I measured gaps of/between 3-4 mm on my car, that's nice.. i think.

The head of the engine.... or the head from the driver ? 😁

Yes it wheel... eh.. it Will! Just kidding Bart! Yeah as Zup already said: a tabco panel is only 125 $.. but now it's also 1000$ for the paintjob and welder.. at least..

When you use that, first make a test spray on something.. before you do it on your car. Then you know if it's still good and mixed right! (Maybe your wheelbarrel needs a new paintjob! 🙂 )

Very Nice indeed! And these can be used up side down also! (as normally the lower leg of the Z symbol is longer than the top one.. a lot of people don't notice that..) Once a buyer from my 300zx made that mistake.. He changed the Nissan sign for a Z... And.. this one is upside down!

Haha, Yes i have seen the new advert also and bart @bartsscooterservice alerted me on the fact that it was the same one we had seen.. In March or so 2021 , i spoke to the owner on the phone and asked him if he did see something wrong with the rear fender.. i then carfully told him what was wrong.. he then told me it was not so bad.. but i think that he now wants to get rid of the car.. Still a nice car though.

I would place it a foot more to the right.. then you can walk around the post and still drive a car next to the lift.. Have you seen the lift that "hoovie" has got in his garage? It's Hoovies garage on you tube.. haha crazy guy.. with... to much money! 😮

@motorman7 Very nice Garage! But.. did you put cardboard under your 4 post and no bolts in the floor?? I would at least make a construction to the walls just to be sure that the lift does not fall when lifting something on it, like when you lift one axle on a car your working on, it will be very dangerous to work on a car on a lift thats not attached to the floor.. ( If you have a heated floor and can't drill holes in it? always make (detailed) pictures of the tubes before you cover them with concrete. (write the dimensions on the floor so it's in the picture. ........yes for future people that read this.)

Congratulations.. you have 30 followers! must give you a extra boost to plow on!

Just a thought.. could it come from lose (rusty) dust from a compressor tank? Is there a airfilter on the system? I also can feel your pain.. i once had to paint a bike (motorbike) and i had terrible problems with silicone in the paint... after 4 ! times i was happy with the result... pfff... 4 x high gloss black..

I think your to late for those prices.. i paid 200 euro a piece.. years ago.. Yes a flattop can be had for less.. but then. they are a Pain in the "you know where"... to get working right! In Europe we have other prices i know ... but if you gave me 1000 euro for a complete 240z (roundtop) carbset with inlet and every right bit on it that i could bolt up to a L24... i would say no thanks..

Double post.. use other one...

One tip i have.. Take your phone and go into the camera's "adjustments" put focus from autofucus on macro.. then take a picture from the connections insides and you can see MUCH more of the sealing surfaces.. Many times i have seen things this way on a picture that was not visable in good lighting with the eyes.. When you make a picture sometimes you have to "click or tip" with your finger on the screen just to let the camera focus just before you make the picture! You be amazed what you see this way!! Don't forget to put it back on autofocus later on.. and put that all revealing pic on here!! 🙂

I got many sorts of felt washers after a google.. google "Felt washers" 🙂

I had some airhorns on my 240z... by the time this old compressor came to live.. the danger was long gone HAHAHA.. I now have a normal electric horn.. I Miss my airhorn! Oh well.. some day....

I'm sorry i forgot to look yesterday.. i got a nice set but they are for a car with electric windows (a 2x3 inch opening on the spot where normally sits the handle for the window to open..) If your interested you can pm me. ( I can send them to you but again the shipping will be rediculous expensive.. )

Yeah i thought it would.. there was just a short time they had the baskets.. I will look at my stash and let you know in an hour or so but i don't think i have them both.. and.. last but not least the shipping is unbelievable expensive ofcourse.. 🙄

AH... Your just a 100 miles from my home! 🙂 Yes in germany they are like the germans on anything.. very strickt and precise haha! If there was no covid i would say, next time you can come by for a coffee.. haha..

Vintage Japanese Car Parts & Restoration – JDM CAR PARTS (jdm-car-parts.com) maybe? 😉

With the baskets (with chrome edge) like in my 1979, or the flat carpet-like pockets that came later?

Those were the turbo transmissions made by ZF (Nissan didn't want to use the Fs5w71b in the turbo because it was not strong enough they thought.) I don't know the typeNR. but i could look it up..
