Yeah, I've got to say that I don't understand that commet either. Is it an attempt at humor? Anyway, to the topic, I've been to HybridZ off and on over the last couple of weeks, as normal, and haven't had any problems. When did this take place?

A response to a nearly four year old post......back when you could apparently trust this threads author......

That's Ron Carter's car....

Careful, TomoHawk, everytime I 'go there' my post(s) seems to get deleted........

I've seen many clips of these and other vehicles being abused in the Middle East.

What shop does Elvan work at? Haven't seen him in years.

^^Why is this person still allowed to post?

That may help something though I'm not sure what but it won't relieve the fuel pressure.

I'm not even sure that unit would fit under an S30 dash.

Doubt that he'll hear you. Those were his only three posts on this site and he hasn't been here in almost six months.

It that the place that Roger ran? I beileve that's actually Mayrville rather than Marysville. Really sad to hear. He helped me quite a bit with parts for the 810 coupe I had. Some of the parts unique to that vehicle are more difficult to find than Z parts.

Yuba City, Ca.

I always though it was "Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way if they get angry they will be a mile away and barefoot."

I've worked on both types and, actually, the earlier type that would be stock for a 1973 240K would work fine if properly rebuilt. It's basically the same unit used the non North American market early S30 and here beginning with the North American market 1974 260Z through the 1978 280Z. I never noticed much, if any difference between the two performance wise.

That appears to be a 'mist jet' type compressor. Nissan didn't utilize that type until 1979. A 1973 would have had a 'swash plate' type compressor which would be visually distingushable by the side cover which the one in your video does not have.

The compressor used on that AC system wasn't available in 1973 plus it has a condensor mounted electric fan; not stock. Looks great, however.

Except that the OP hasn't been here since May of 2009 so he isn't likely to benefit from the answer.

Those look like 280ZX aftermarket 'NACA' ducts (scroll down to part #95-950: http://www.blackdragonauto.com/icatalog/zr/full.aspx?Page=81

What exactly does that mean? No such thing as a 'turbo s30' car and I rather doubt that he would really have put a T5 in it.......

Well, yes and no. What you're trying to say is "Without further ado." 'Ado' means 'fuss or concern' while 'adieu' is French for 'farewell'. Looks like a nice 73. I owned a 70 and 72 in that color 'back in the day'.

The dashpot was only on the manual trans cars.

I believe that would be the 'Performance Chart' on AC-57. The reason I say that is beacuse I have that page printed out and on the wall above my workbench. It along with the chart for the 810 I used to own weren't in the database I use. Anyway, pressures are only a part of the story, however, and should only be used as a general guideline. That chart also takes humidity and ambient temperature into consideration; factors which are as important if not more so than suction/discharge pressures. I use a charging machine which has a thermometer and a hygrometer on it and I charge by the recommmended system refrigerant weight rather than pressure. When I do put gauges on the system after charging it with the machine, the pressures are within the figures shown on that chart or the chart for the particular vehicle's sytem I'm working on. Using the machine it's 'one and done' while charging with cans or even refrigerant cylinders and gauges can be somewhat trial and error or hit and miss if you don't have a way to factor in temperature and humidity.
