cool article, thanks daddz

thanks v12, was just wondering cauz i have never heard of one before

Whats a Super Samuri 240Z? i found it at <http://www.auto-active.co.uk/futureprojects.htm> we know how you all love to teach us unwashed masses...

thread name thief j/k

sorry for jumping ahead is there anyway to test the relays w. out having known working ones?

so i went out to the car today and this is whats happening: so is there anything that would cause me to have to stick a wrench in the afm to get the fuel preasure up and then would let the car idle untill it was out of gas? but if i start playing with the throttle the car will die sooner.. very confused thanks alot for all your help sblake

how do i check the relays? and where are they located? i checked the Fi book but it just says how they work thanks

sorry about the last post.. it was late and i had been fiddiling w. the fuel tank (huffing some fumes ) for an hour g/l with your project

gooooo public schools... feel the learning.... my Datsun / smokes hondas / my Datsun/ smokes fords / my Datsun / smokes tires my Datsun / Wins Awards or my Datsun / is super / my Datsun/ is great / my Datsun / Goes fast all over / The Place some one else make one this is kinda fun

some info on cleaning, http://www.cruzinperformance.com/injsteps.html how to build the machine to diy http://www.cosworthvega.com/Articles/InjectorTester/Homemade%20Injector%20Cleaner.htm More @ http://chartermi.net/~benjlv/links.htm go down to fuel injection

you can buy the switches your talking about at autozone or almost any big auto store. (comes in colors too) the ricer kids like to have some fake "nos" so show off

so i ran the car mostly out o gas so taking off the hose from the fuel tank would be less messy, and now the fuel pump wont pump at all. i cant get the pressure to go over 10psi. is there something to do to prime it or does that mean i need a new fuel pump?

you guys can go here http://www.worldlingo.com/ it will translate it into english for you (kinda) the skylines on the "tuner" page are awsome esp the blue one

yes it goes down to about 10-15 psi

i got a fuel pressure gauge and put it on, and started her up. i have found that if i stick a wrench up the afm to hold the flap open untill the preasure gets to ~36 psi the car starts right up and will idle for a while, ~2 min, while it is idling i can rev the car up and everything, but after a little while it starts to bog down and smoke comes from down by the headers... im going to fill the tank all the way up and see if that helps the pump and if noti guess i will replace the fuel pump and see where that puts me... is this a good course of action? other things to try?

went and checked it organ, their right... that would be a funny way to fix the car... anyways does anyone in IL know of a shop that can clean injectors? i think they are working fine, i did the test w. the long screwdriver and they clicked ok.. anything else i should try? p.s. the car has ben sitting for about a year and the lines going into the injectors were completly mealted, like they were disolving in my hands when i got them off

thanks for the comments all, the 1st plan for her is getting her running (see my thread in Help me) after that im going to remove all the rust and remove the bumpers/add an air dam. this is going to be my daily driver so nothing too crazy

i replaced the fuel filter, i can now get started w. starter fluid and it will run for aprox. 2 min and then it starts to bog down. i was trying to rev it up to clear out anything stuck in the injectors and it bogged down real bad and the engine started to smoke from the area around the injectors????? bad/clogged injectors? thanks for the help so far sblake and frank

good for you, i just bought a 280 last wed. post some pictures if you can good luck fixing her up

Update i messed around with the afm and now the car will start and idle w. spray start. if you hit the gas it will rev but after a min or so starts to bog out and dies, hitting the gas does not help at all. fuel problem right? i checked the fuel pump, its pumping any ideas?

all this working on cars stuff is overrated but its worth it for a datsun.. i found the Fi book @ http://www.72hours.net/~zcar/280zfuelinjectionbook.pdf so i am going to start going through the troubleshooting tnks

well i finaly got the injector hoses replaced... all 12 of them... that was a serious pain. now the car wont start, will crank over but dies right away does not respond if i give it gas. i understand car problems are hard to fix w. out checking out the car but can any one give me some ideas as to where to start? maby a bunch of stuff to rule out? any and all help welcomed -Jon p.s. its a 77 280z fuel injected

:love: :love: i got my new datsun today its a 77 280z 77k original miles was 1 owner bought it off a lady who treated this car like it was her child this thing is in near perfect condition, pics in the gallery pending aproval best part.... ONLY $2500 now i just need to get her running...
