Hi Dave: My 240Z Flywheeel only has 6 P/P mounting spots for bolts.

several different views

It is a factory add-on to stop excess flex of the steering rack. When the rack flexs, the flex is limited when the "bumper thingy" contacts the cross member. I know it has been sicussed before on this site, but a quick search didn't turn up the thread.

I don't know which is more stupid. The seller or the bidder's. Either way, it is another example of a reason for an IQ test requirement before people are allowed to reproduce.

Before (BTDC) is where timing should be set. If I remember correctly, you turn Mixture screw UP (which is counterclock wise) to lean the mixture. Without test equipment, I believe that you are going to have a very difficult job to get the engine running properly to pass the smog test.

With a Hydrocarbon reading of 9014, I think your carbs are out of tune and are running way too rich (too much fuel). I believe that your carbs need to be adjusted to a much leaner condition.

What does it fit? What doesn't it fit?

Well, you were right too. Clutch ENGAGED, Gears DISENGAGED, it's all in which end you're looking at, but the terms get confusing sometimes. At least to me. The pedal arm deal ocurred on my car, otherwise I would never have thought of it causing the problem.

That is what I meant. "The Darwin Awards honor those who improve our gene pool... by removing themselves from it. Of necessity, this honor is (generally) bestowed posthumously." Samples from the website: Robert, 37, shot himself while explaining gun safety to his wife in Glendale, California, when he placed a .45-caliber pistol he thought was unloaded under his chin and pulled the trigger. Shovestall's wife told police that the incident occurred after her complaints about her husband's 70 guns prompted him to demonstrate their safety. A 23-year-old bar-brawler who had been escorted out of the Turtle Club in Florida by a bouncer, sneaked back in and leaped off a staircase, aiming a kick at another man, but was killed when he landed on his head. Iraqi terrorist Khay Rahnajet, didn't put enough postage on a letter bomb, and it came back marked "return to sender." He opened the package and was blown away. Two animal rights activists were protesting the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn by freeing a captive herd. Suddenly all two thousand of pigs stampeded through the gate they were opening, and trampled the hapless protesters to death. News of the Weird reports that in September 1996 a man was crushed to death on a stairway at the Sammis Real Estate and Insurance office in Huntington, N.Y., while he was stealing the office's 600-pound safe. He apparently violated that cardinal rule of hauling massive objects: Never stand on a step lower than the one the safe is on. The safe was empty at the time of the incident. In San Jose, California, Herman, an avid hunter, used the butt of his shotgun to bash his girlfriend's windshield during an argument. But his loaded gun accidentally discharged into his stomach, killing him and ending the argument. "I cannot help but notice that there is no problem between us that cannot be solved by your departure." End of quotes from website.

It would be "not disengaging from the flywheel" if the car creeps forward, which indeed could cause the grinding. (I know, I know, when clutch is "engaged", the flywheel is "disengaged") Could be caused by either, or both hydraulic cylinders not functioning properly. Low fluid levels, or could also be the hole in the clutch pedal arm where the clutch m/c connects is ovalled and thus pedal movement is wasted taking up the slack there instead of moving fluid to fully operate the m/c and slave cylinder.

Installer would have to be real Stoopid to istall T.O. bearing backwards. It's real obvious which way it goes. T.O. bearing is the same for all 1970 thru 1989 Z cars If it is worse when the box is cold, it may be that synchos are going and someone put in thicker oil to quiet it down for a while.

The most depressing part of this (to me at least) is that none of these people (or their lawyers) made it to the finals of the Darwin Awards.

Sounds logical to me. How much wood could a woodchuck chuck?

Rubbing issues will depend on width of rim and backspace. As for ride quality,for a given fixed circumferance of tire wheel combo, you'll obviously lose an inch of (flexible) tire sidewall with 16" wheels while gaining an inch of (inflexible) wheel. Will it make a difference? Yes, but only you can say if it will be too much for you. FWIW, I would go with 15" wheels unless it was a track only race car, but that's just my opinion. I like a bit of comfort, especially for longer cruises. Some people buy 17" wheels for Z's so................?

Ah, I didn't know they used A series engines. Wonder why they switched to that engine?

Michael: If you are thiking of using Z car SU's in the B210, you might find a lot of info on how/What to do from the DimeQuarterly (Datsun 510) email list folks. Doesn't it use the same 4 cyl engine? I don't have the info on how to hook up with them, but Victor Laury probably does.

AFAIK, Yes, that's all it does (except to also provide a port for vacuum needed for your brake booster No. Unbalanced breathing of cylinders?(front 3 cyls v.s. rear 3 cyls) No port for vaccum to the brake booster. Cooler air/fuel mixture = more dense charge to cylinder, more air and fuel = more potential for power (if the charge gets fully burned) The heat was/is only applied when the engine is cold. After about 80 degrees water temp (temp spec according to 2ManyZ's) the water flow is cut off by the valve at the back of the manifold. Heat applied to a fully warm engine would likely result in fuel vaporization in the carbs. This feature is generally not needed unless you face ice and snow weather. It has been routinely eliminated by people seeking optimim performance since the mid 1970's. (original "How to Modify Dasun Engines and Chassis" published in 1973)

Good one, Vicky! Possibly a true story. Michael: He's been on mine since yesterday.

Exactly my point. You claimed to have been around for some time as a visitor. The only one keeping you from registering before yesterday was YOU. If you like the thread why don't you do as others have suggested and partisipate in the discussion. Contribute SOMETHING.
