  1. Check you've attached the fuel hoses thr right way round at the tank and check that you can suck fuel up to the engine bay filter. If you can suck fuel to the engine bay but the fuel pump can't, you need a new fuel pump.
  2. 31 and 32 are optional spacers.
  3. If you've lost some of the 'Nissan' from the head casting with successive skims, I think you're beyond what the standard tensioner can accommodate. Kameari twin idler and adjustable cam sprocket are an alternative solution.
  4. My car does exactly this, but has an EZwiring style loom. I've assumed its being backfed from the alternator by the excitor or sense wire and I'll need to add a diode somewhere. I've not bothered to do anything about it yet.
  5. When you have chrome save a password for you, thats you using google password manager. Better password protections in Chrome - How it worksPosted by Patrick Nepper, Kiran C. Nair, Vasilii Sukhanov and Varun Khaneja, Chrome Team Today, we announced better password protection...There's no mystery.
  6. Google knows because you chose to use google password manager to remember your passwords.
  7. Your insight is invaluable.
  8. Official documentation from Nissan. Nope, that's not conclusive. An assay of 15 random items from Carl. Yep, that'll do it.
  9. A number of guys are happy with the sherryberg distributor. https://zclub.net/community/index.php?threads/anyone-had-a-go-at-the-zcardepot-dizzy.32001/
  10. 1 & 2 look like reverse switches from a fs5w71c gearbox.
  11. LLM AI (it used to be known as machine learning, but that doesn't sound so cool) is at best only as good as the source material it wallows in. If you ask it about s30 screw and bolt sizes, you'll get lots of wrong imperial sizes. If you ask it about how and what LHC Cern does, it'll generally be right. Because of who wrote the source material. Broadly speaking, the more popular a topic is, the more likely the LLM is to ingest popular but incorrect info. Its fairly predictable that as the years go by, more and more of the info its ingesting will have been written by the same or another AI (either as primary source or regurgitated by gullible humans). Soon enough the brief era of being able to lookup all of the knowledge of mankind on the internet will be over and all will be AI slop. Or... The investment bubble will burst and we'll be back to where we were.
  12. Sure, there's lots of potential downsides with buying from aliexpress, although Sherryberg are quite a well known brand, even though you've not heard of it. The internet is full of reports of Pertronix being junk, and that's been my experience too. Conversely I know a couple of people who have the Sherryberg distributor and are very happy. This is not rocket science - I find it more surprising that a long standing US brand manages to make a product that fails so often, than that a cheap chinese brand manages to make one that works reliably.
  13. In my experience, not working over 4 or 5k is a standard feature of the pertronix igniter. These sherryberg distributors are said to work ok. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006104687656.html
  14. You can use a p30 oil pan on an f54 block.
  15. It's actually the US govt developing the interface for next gen public services.
