Here's another source for the brake line nuts...Item #3043...pretty much buy as many as you want...my best guess to replace all nuts was around 50 or so...so that's what I ordered...and if you come up a little short, then just order some more...or just order a few extra on your initial order... http://fmsiinc.com/brake-line-tube-nuts.htm webdawg1

In case you can not locate the EFI Bible via search...here's the url for it... http://www.pape.ws/allan_and_rosanne/Z-Car_Stuff/EFI/ webdawg1

Looks like he was trying to trick the ECU into thinking the engine was already up to operating temperture. (I.E. - Bad water temperture sensor)...see page 14-15 in the EFI bible...so in other words...car was probably running rich...added the resistor (pins 5-13 on ECU) to lean the fuel mixture out I'm kind of thinking...probably running really lean all the time now more than likely... webdawg1

I am unable to see it from here... LOL But...but more than likely the shock is probably blown...kind of like having an operation...never really know exactly what's going on until you get in there and start looking around...etc...etc... webdawg1

Zs-ondabrain... Aww man...:tapemouth I just came up on this thread...don't remember ever running up on it in the recent past or anything like that...:tapemouth Don't suppose you have the overall dimensions on hand or maybe the actual Solidworks drawing available...have plenty of metal working shops here in my part of the country, so would not be that big of a deal to get me one made up... webdawg1

Might try these mirrors from MSA as another option...if you are unable to find the ones you are looking for... http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/50-1160 webdawg1

and a slightly better view showing the various parts of the linkage... webdawg1

While you're waiting on the club CD...the following picture might help you out with a visual as to what it should look like...and also as as a point of reference when talking to the parts department... webdawg1 Accelerator Pedal.bmp

Following link should get you going in the right direction...as far as troubleshooting goes...download EFI bible and print it out...Also get hold of the FSM (Factory Service Manual) for your model year, as the EFI bible makes reference to certain sections in the FSM when troubleshooting... http://www.pape.ws/allan_and_rosanne/Z-Car_Stuff/EFI/280zfuelinjectionbook.pdf webdawg1

keep an eye out on eBay...be surprised at what all you might see... webdawg1

Hmm...would think that you might be able to use these pictures for reference then... webdawg1 f.i.c.d hose connections (reference 1).bmp f.i.c.d hose connections (reference 2).bmp

Perhaps the following url will help you some...http://carfiche.com/manuals023/cars/ you have to keep checking until it changes to "Download" by the service manual that you want to download...about 36-37 mb so hope you have high speed internet service... webdawg1

Found the part number for the cap...14964-F1700...appears to be a good number still...(about $3.00-4.00 bucks) Would check with your local Nissian dealer and see what you can turn up...you would be amazed at what you can still get from your local dealer when you walk in with a part number in hand... webdawg1

So what's with this large tube you mentioned coming out the bottom of the carbon canister..?? Have a picture by any chance..?? Should look approx like the picture attached...might be able to still get the cap from your local Nissian dealer...see if I can dig up a part number for you unless someone just happens to have it handy... webdawg1

Would you be making reference to the "Nipples" on the top part of the carbon cannister...see picture attached... webdawg1

ok...on the old switch (which I might add was in pretty bad shape) it has...pretty much the same mark on one facet as the new one...503 on one facet...and TB-14 on the other facet...no other marks or info noted on the other facets... webdawg1

yep...I can check on the old one two...75 280Z... webdawg1

Don't know if it's any help or not...the switch I have has the following info on it... TB-14P 60-OFF another facet has some sort or marking on it and 05 right below the mark... next facet over has either 1.1 or 11 on it...(probably 11) webdawg1

remember what part number you used off hand..?? Perhaps this photo might help...like they say..."a picture is worth a thousand words..." webdawg1

Hmmm...let's see now...you have to pull the tank anyway..right...why not kill two birds with one stone...so-to-speak...you can send the tank off to these guys and have it repaired/refurbished all at the same time... http://www.gas-tank.com/ it costs you nothing to get hold of them and ask what it would be to repair/refurbish the tank you have currently. That way you'll be taking care of any future tank rust and get it repaired all in one dedicated motion...probably cost you a little bit less or about the same as what these other guys quoted ya...and never have to worry about tank rust again... webdawg1

Keep an eye out on eBay...I see them on there pretty much all the time...you can still get them from you local Nissan dealer also... webdawg1

do a search on "spreadsheets"...might help you out some or at least get you going in the right direction...helps a lot if you have the microfiche for your model year...as these where made up for a 75 280Z... webdawg1

EGR pictures...has the EGR pad...EGR valve and piping...extra connections for EGR related functions...etc...etc... webdawg1

Non EGR pictures...just looks a lot cleaner to me... webdawg1

Looks like 22mm...at least thats the size socket that fit on mine...75 280Z...need the thread pitch also or no... webdawg1
