Next question... From all I've been able to glean from my friend google the Hitachi 3 and 4 screw round tops are HS style SU's. Looking at different listings for velocity stacks there are several HSn listings, HS2, HS4, HS6 and HS8! I can't find anywhere that lists what the HSn is for the Hitachi 4 screw round top SU's. Would any of you 240Z 4 screw SU experts know what the HS number is? Or if the Hitachi's even fit this HSn nomenclature?

Slightly unrelated... Last year when I did a full fuel system cleaning, tank lining and hose replacement with E85 rated lines I also asked ZTherapy about E85 fuel with their rebuilds and they told me that they ran a soak test a few years ago and saw no ill effects. I have no personal experience since I've run nothing but non-ethanol fuel since the fuel system refresh.

Do these fit the 4 screw roundtop SU's on an early '71 240Z? http://aptfast.com/showitem.aspx?id=102637&name=Ram Pipe Full Radius HS2 1.5" Tall&

I'm guessing this is what you were referring to with the IMI pads? http://www.wagnerbrake.com/products/brakes/wagner-tq-thermoquiet.html The description sounds like the shims are integrated in the pads. You should be able to get them at O'Reilly for $29.00 https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/b/thermoquiet-5227/brake-systems-16456/brake-pads-shoes-16515/brake-pads-12845/a99314144bb6/wagner-thermoquiet-ceramic-front-brake-pads/pd161/4783833/1971/nissan/240z?manufacturer=true

If you make that trip again, get off I-15 in Nephi Utah and head south to Levan Utah. That's a couple hundred more miles of US 89 and it's all fun!

I used 5/16 on the line from the tank to the fuel rail. 3/16 on the return line from the fuel rail to the tank. What's the possibility that you have the lines on the fuel rail reversed? Seems like if these were inadvertently reversed it would cause all kinds of engine run problems.

If this is the return line from the fuel rail I used 3/16 as I stated in the prior post. The supply side (where the stock fuel filter is) is 5/16.

This one from MSA was a direct swap and perfect fit. I also replaced the slave at the same time. If you do the slave make sure you get the correct one. The stock '71 has an adjustable plunger and return spring. KEEP YOUR SPRING, it's no longer available. http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/21-2091 http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic22b01d/21-2101

Does that get added to the bid price or does BJ just skim their 20% off the bid price?

David Lee Roth was the lead singer in the band Van Halen which is named after its founder(s) - Eddie and Alex "Van Halen". David Lee was the singer on Van Halen's #1 hit "Jump". Edit: Sorry this is so off topic from where the OP started.

I had the same glitch and so I took the screen snip from it that I posted above. That's where I got the $40,700 figure, right off the listing I posted.

That just seems odd. I would have thought that if the car sold for $37,000 Barrett-Jackson would take their 10% from that amount and the seller would get $33,300. Wasn't aware that the buyer had 10% tacked onto the price they bid for the car?? That just seems wrong, but what do I know! Seems like all other transactions like this work the way I think they work. Picture a Barrett-Jackson car selling for $250,000 that also has a reserve where Barrett-Jackson ups the anti to even more... That adds over $25,000 to the price. I guess if you can pay $250,000 then the tack on is just chump change.

Interesting. The wife and I went to Barrett-Jackson last year (2017) and didn't see a single Z or ZX car.

Looks like it's had the alternator upgrade, can't see the voltage regulator and the fuel filter appears to be mounted where the regulator would have been. It's missing the fresh air ducts from the radiator mounting panel to the front fender wells too.

When I first clicked the link it showed $40,700 for this 240Z. It now says "register to view price". Here's a snip I caught of it;

I noticed this was posted up yesterday (Jan 16, 2018) on facebook. Appears to be the Series 2 240Z dash. Free shipping for pre-orders placed in the next couple of weeks. No word on Series 1 240z or other Z dashes. https://m.facebook.com/groups/327981873903624?view=permalink&id=1563738396994626&rt=11

I picked up the air cleaner from MSA and it is VERY LIGHTLY oiled. http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic17a02e/11-3023 Had to drill my own holes for the valve cover breather line and carb vent hose. The valve cover breather fittings are all AN10 fittings. There's a hollow tube that my friend Dan built that is epoxied in the valve cover elbow and goes into the AN10 male adapter that we cut one side off of so the nut part would be flush against the elbow.

I decided I liked the look of the big itg air cleaner over the little Ramflo's I was running. I never liked the look of the air filter thing on the valve cover so I decided I'd run it kind of like on the stock air cleaner. I also did the carburetor vent lines into the air cleaner. Here's some pics of my new air cleaner and new plumbing for the valve cover and carb vents. The valve cover will be redone black with the ridges and Nissan OHC polished or maybe red to match the car.

Hmm... What's in common to all those circuits??? Maybe the combination switch on the steering column. You didn't mention turn signals, do they work?

I asked the guy if they also had a series 1 dash and he said they should have a series 1 sample ready in the next week or 2. I also asked if he'd post over here since he posted in a closed facebook group that JSM pulled the post over so you all could see.

I was over on the 240z 260z 280z facebook group and these dashboards popped up. https://www.facebook.com/groups/386021341481608/permalink/1533611720055892/?sale_post_id=1533611720055892&comment_id=1534205696663161&reply_comment_id=1534500946633636&notif_id=1513832246361651&notif_t=group_comment

Are those the tubes that poke into the exhaust ports through the exhaust manifold into the head? If so, have you removed the air pump? If these are what I think they are and you (or PO) removed the air pump, you need to block the holes. Otherwise you'll have outside air going directly into the exhaust ports in the head. I would think this would be a major exhaust leak that would also be prone to backfires.

This one looks like it has had the Lucas electric kit installed ;-) http://www3.telus.net/bc_triumph_registry/smoke.htm

Just get the 60 Amp and be done with it.

On my early 71 my rear wheel cylinders were frozen which would cause the light to turn on when the brakes were applied. As soon as the pedal was released the light would go out. After replacing the wheel cylinders and bleeding the whole system the light now only comes on when the parking brake is applied. My FSM purchased with the car in 71 shows the springs in the sensor switch just like the BR-14 illustration posted earlier in this thread with the same warning about NOT servicing the unit. So I think all the Z cars have self centering sensor switches.
