If you haven’t already Go to the section on the website and download/print the FSM for your car. You will find it to be a better document to follow in the future. Sometimes on eBay you can find a factory FSM for sale. Glad you found the major problem. Probably a little more tweaking to be done but you’re heading in the right direction .

Has anyone here done business with Sanchez Juan David of Facebook group-Datsun parts and Accessories?
@Zed HeadGood idea. This would open the door to parts we normally aren’t aware of. Me personally I’m not on Facebook.

Ordered from them multiple times. First they take the order then verify the availability and then collect your money. PayPal is the way to go as far as payment IMO. Fast delivery time from Japan.

The question I have is are the seals and pistons readily available? I would think as a minimum you need a seal kit.

Finish putting the engine back together where you have the chance to monitor each phase.

Good call @siteunseen. Easier than the gas can trick but the same result!!

For grins… you can isolate the return line to a gas can and see how much fuel is returning to check the circuit. It should be quite a bit of fuel that cycles through back to the can. A lot more than you imagine. The majority of the fuel being sent gets returned.

It would be extremely helpful if you list everything that is not stock on the entire car. To this point the only thing I saw by the pic was an aftermarket fuel rail. I assume your inj. Dropping resistors are still in place.

How are you getting your fuel pressure readings and how were you able to boost the pressure?

Do you have a fuel pressure measurement reading after the fuel filter?

You need that spacer from T3. The spacer mounts to the hub then the rotor to the spacer. Should correct your problem. Never tried it without the spacer. Give them a call. They are extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Located in California. $130 a set.

Don’t know any thing about S12+8 vented caliper rotor calipers. My earlier post with S12W calipers that required a vented rotor has to be mounted with the Techno Toys spacer kit. The hub won’t align properly without it.

I installed the S12W calipers on my 78. Used 300zx rotors from stop tech. You need the Techno Toy spacer kit. You also have the nibble off a piece of the backing plate for caliper clearance. The S12W has two large pistons where the S12+8 solid rotor style has one large and one small Piston.

Door panel moisture barrier
Needs some help here. Removed the door panels prepping the car to go to paint and body shop. Trying to remove the black adhesive on the door where the plastic moisture barrier was installed. I’ve tried acetone, paint thinner and WD40. The WD40 is the only chemical that works at all but not very well. Basically turns into a slurry mess. Any help would be appreciated.

Search car parts find the number google it. You will find a number of dealers that have them. My suggestion as I did was go down to the local dealer talk to the parts manager and tell him about your project. Chances are he will give you a break. Have the p/n’s ready and he can search. You won’t pay shipping . Worked for me over my journey. Educate yourself and things will come together. Do the research and they will take you seriously.
