A Skyline was selected as Car of the Show at the Atlanta Caffeine and Octane today. Sorry for those who do not use the evil FB. I haven't been able to find a similar video on YouTube.

I can attest that the passenger seat in that 240Z is fully functional. However, the belts don't cinch down very well. At least we weren't going at speed that day.

Try contacting Alan at https://vintagezparts.com/. He might be interested.

To add to @Namerow's post, that would be 20 AWG wire. It might be easier to find that way. https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-316L-Gauge-Wire/dp/B07CJLTNR4

I would guess that the normal fittings were replaced with banjo fuel fittings. I was thinking about doing this to my SUs before I converted them to throttle bodies.

Or what is more likely is that Iran did its token response and will milk the propaganda for what it is worth. https://www.newsweek.com/iran-says-it-has-concluded-its-response-us-strike-does-not-seek-escalation-1480956

I know I speak for all the users here, @Mike. We really appreciate all of what you and the moderators do to keep this site going. I have learned a lot here and have made several friends because of this forum. Keep up the good work.

He's not so bad when he has the fastest car in the class. He's been at the front at many Mitty races.

Yes.

Brian was driving the yellow car.

That's the way John and Randy saw it. It was Brian Johnson driving the car.

What models are the same with respect to what parts? Different parts have different answers.

Charles, don't stress about it. If you think you'll be doing much in the way of AC current measurement, get the package with the 323. If you think you will be doing DC current measurement, I stand by my earlier recommendations. I have no complaints about my 20 year old Fluke (a pre-116 version of the HVAC meter). If you are worried about the meter capabilities, then go with the 87V. Here it is with the AC current clamp: https://www.amazon.com/Fluke-FLUKE-87-V-Digital-Multimeter/dp/B004HDUNQ2. Yes, it's pricey, but it's hard to beat the capabilities.

One way you could try is to get an oil pressure sender like this: BECK/ARNLEY 2011170. It's for a 78, and it has two terminals. One is for the oil pressure sender, and the other is a switch to ground when there is oil pressure. You would run a switched source to FPR1 and ground it at the oil pressure switch. If the engine dies, the coil de-energizes. Another way is to use a switched source for FPR1 and include an inertia switch in the circuit. The safest way is to combine those two ideas.

Ah, but now you have a much better idea of where to look should it happen again.

That's what sites like Digi Key are for: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/panasonic-electric-works/CB1-R-12V/255-2161-ND/646987

These flasher relays are as quiet as a church mouse. You could always splice in a piezo buzzer. The positive on the buzzer would be on the downstream side of the relay, and the negative would be grounded. It would be hard to ignore a 90dB buzzer.

The first place to check the voltage on the yellow wire is at the voltage regulator. Do not expect it to be 12VDC. As a matter of fact, I am fairly sure it is the neutral of the alternator. It will probably be around 8 VDC or a little higher at its peak (I used 14VDC as the alternator voltage instead of the 12VDC that @Captain Obviousused.). (And the good Captain was already finishing up his reply as I started mine.) As was mentioned, the 400RPM is only a rough guideline. When starting the car, you usually have the choke pulled up, and the idle speed will be higher. That usually means a higher voltage being generated by the charging system. There is a table on EE-23 that shows the voltage at different temperatures (prior to solid state regulators). The voltage at the N terminal should be about the square root of 3 lower. Now I'm going to have to check this at home...Thanks guys for giving me more to do. ?

That was one of the things that prompted my initial purchase. I think I saw a post by Tony D over on Zcar.com mentioning adjustable rate flashers. I thought my old flasher relays were too fast (though not hyperflashing), and I thought I'd give it a try. These relays also do not require a separate ground wire like some of the other electronic flashers do. These two pin relays are plug-and-play.

If you want to swap out all of your turn signal bulbs to LED, you'll need electronic flasher relays (turn signal and hazard). I have used this type for over 4 years with no problems, and it's on sale today at Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Audew-Electronic-Signal-Flasher-Motorcycle/dp/B011BTMDQM

I think you may be confused on the operation of the fuel pump relays. Refer to pages EF-6 and EF-7 in the Factory Service Manual. If you don't have a copy, you can get one from the downloads section on this website. There are two fuel pump relays (FPR). FPR1 sends voltage to the fuel pump when the car is running. This is defined as the alternator turning over 400 RPM. The coil wire for FPR1 comes from the yellow wire between the alternator and voltage regulator. This is important to know because swapping the alternator/regulator for an internally regulated alternator will kill the power for the coil for FPR1. FPR2 kills the voltage to the fuel pump when the car is starting. FPR2 has normally closed contacts. They will open when there is power to the starter. The path of the yellow wire for the coil on FPR2 is different between the manual and automatic cars. (Note that this refers to how the car left the factory, not whether or not the current transmission is a manual. People do transmission swaps, but they don't swap the wiring harness at the same time.) You don't need the fuel pump running while cranking since the carburetor should have enough fuel in the bowls to start. Once you release the key for the ignition to go from Start to On, the fuel pump should be running if the alternator is turning over 400 RPM. So, what is happening/not happening with your car that you need to fiddle with the fuel pump relays?

I think we've only been given half a paragraph in the middle of the story.
