That's okay. I was just having trouble picturing how one would hook up the item your original title had me envisioning........

Sure do. Was a real prankster in my day.

I'm going to go see Vic at the Eagle Rock Swap Meet March 18. That's the wrong date (March 16) in the JNC article.

Oh, you meant AFR.....I was confused by the title of thread.

Vic is one of the truly good guys in the southern California Datsun scene. His health issues are part of the reason he's not visited here for at least two years. Haven't seen him since the Solvang Roadster show in 2008. My prayers are with him.

@Bruce: As many times as you and I have needled each other (no pun intended) about the Old School EFI to SU thing over the years I wouldn't ever consider doing SU to EFI unless it was some type of modern EFI. Though I had some success with it, the old JECS system is tough enough to sort out as it was originally installed but a retrofit?????:tapemouth:ermm:

That coil will be fine as long as it's secure. As far as working with the electronic ignition, I ran the larger Accel Super Coil in my 78 for the 12 years I owned it w/no problems. That condenser is referred to as a 'radio condenser' in the wiring diagram. There's a black wire that comes from a tab under a screw on the disributor mount and plugs into that open bullet recepticle

Okay.........

He means a higher amperage output but if the regulator is bad, I'd just replace the regulator. To convert to an internally regulated alternator would be just that; a conversion, and would require other work.

Keep in mind that the 1997 Super Bowl follows the 1996 season.......That's where I remember seeing it. Then, as now, I'm much more of a football fan than a fan of the Olympics so I likely wouldn't have watched the 1996 ceremonies.

Well, at least I had the year right. But it was still marketing and it must not have fared too well. IMO, outside of the hobby, most people don't know what a Datsun is......

I see what you mean now, 5th. I hadn't clicked on the thumbnails until now, though the actual pictures aren't much better. That probably explains what appears to be hood pin holes in the corners. That hood is not worth $100 because it's basically scrap metal............

Is that mally002's former Z again?

After giving it some thought, I owe you an apology, Godfoot. I guess you could have remebered that commerciial from when you were growing up. They launched that commercial during the 1996 Super Bowl, some two decades after the last 240Z was built. This was really the first evidence of Nissan attemting to get away from that 'anti-Datsun' mode that gnosez alluded to. The same year that the Z Store Project began. Marketing. To me, though I love that poster and have a 24" X 30" version of it on the wall in my garage, it was simply a part of Nissan's marketing strategy at the time. That being said, when I look at that poster, it evokes different feelings for me than it does for you. It was a NISSAN commercial and you claim to be a NISSAN fan. I get that. I am a DATSUN fan, and to me, there is a huge difference. I was around when Datsun name was contemporary. I owned their vehicles then as well as more recently. Personally, I wouldn't be at all concerned about where the company is headed now because, to me, there is no connection.

Might as well lump the Toyota GT 86 in with those also. There will never be a true modern successor to the 240Z. What else do you all want to discuss in this thread since the OP got his answer as well as any meaningful commentary on the subject in 2010?

@Godfoot, the member who originally awakened the thread: You couldn't really have "remembered this commercial from when you were growing up", as you stated if you were born in 1984 as it says in your profile......

MSA and CDM now sell replicas of these vents based off the original molds.

Stephan, I don't know why the original poster would need to do this either (unless there are track days in the car's future), but I wanted to at least try to answer the question with something not related to using a cell phone...

Some threads should be simply left in the archives.......

I have that press in my garage. I've used it to do u joints, hub bearings, and various small to medium duty jobs but I'd want something larger for a transmission. Fortunately, my son has the 12 ton press.

Why??????

I guess I could use a switch to temporarily insert a fixed resistor in series with the CTS to fool the ECU into adding extra fuel through the injectors if I find the cranking times unacceptable. This winter hasn't really been a good test of cold weather starts...

... or add a normally closed pushbutton in series with the CTS sensor. If you push it, fuel will come.

That should be posed as a question, not an exclaimation. (At least is was by the guy that originally said it)

I an't tell where exactly the roar comes frome either.

As for Gary's question, I bought a grommet from ACE hardware's assortment for my antenna. Don't remember the exact size but it worked.

Now I know how the Aflac duck feels.......:knockedou

You missed my point. I was poking fun because neither you nor TH gave a reponse that could really be thought of as an answer to the OPs question........
