Yeah, it seems there are a lot of things that are "hit & miss" on theses cars. Nissan seems to have mixed parts over quite a time frame as they transitioned from one spec to another. I have an (1971) E31 stashed away, I should look to see what valve seats it has. Engine was pulled by me at 70K miles in 1979 and buried in the back corner of the garage.

Air pressure gauge?

It is the complete Framerail which includes the floor support rail, T/C rod mounting, and the frame rail that is in the engine compartment. "The whole 9 yards".

My 1972 240Z (mfg 11/71) was delivered with an early E88 head which had bronze valve seats.

Alan; The point I was trying to make is the same as in my reply to Enrique immediately above this post. I don't subscribe to the belief that the value of a thread is directly proportional to the number of replies that it draws. People can learn from it and enjoy it without being part of the discussion. Not being a part of the discussion doesn't mean that people are not interested, but even if they don't believe that the fine details of the marque matter, it doesn't make them "deluded, conceited and - frankly - rather sad." The quoted text just sounded a bit pompous and condecending the way I read it, as if there is no room for people to enjoy the car on their own terms. JMO (and no hard feelings meant)

I agree with your statements Enrique. However, whether any person joins in the discussion, or just reads the thread and learns from it really shouldn't matter. Either way the thread will have served a useful purpose. The value of a thread should not be measured solely on how many replies it draws. (see ChrisA's post above)

Ya beat me to it Chris. I was just composing a post when the email notification arrived. Looks like another piece of the puzzle has gone missing.

All he can do is post the data. People will then have the opportunity to either discuss it or not, according to their own interests. (Even if their decision makes them "deluded, conceited and - frankly - rather sad" in anyone elses eyes; or not)

I believe that it does matter. The ports on the Flow Guide Valve are marked as to which should go where.

This is all covered in the previous discussions.

I would never remove this line. It is meant to allow your fuel system to vent pressure build up. It does no harm to you, the car, or the engine. Without a vent you will experience problems related to pressure build up in the fuel system. Cutting it in the tunnel will simply allow moisture (rain, water, mud and crap to either enter the fuel system, or plug the line and cause pressure build up. If you are worried about it's appearance...........paint it, or have it replated. There have been several previous discussions about this system. Try doing a search on "Flow Guide Valve" and you can learn more about this system.

It supposed to be connected to the Flow Guide Valve which "was" mounted below the coil. It is part of the emissions sytem to allow venting of fumes from the gas tank into the engine instead of being vented to the atmosphere.

It's possible that there was plastic on the panels. I never saw it, but have seen remnants like you mention. There definitely was a moisture barrier on the inner surface of the door shell.

Also, make sure that you have the calipers on the correct side of the vehicle. Bleed screw should be at the TOP, rather than at the bottom of the caliper. If bleed screw is at the bottom, you'd never get the air out.

Sounds like A "Ricer" gimmick, but what do I know?

At this point I bet that Burt is wishing the first sale had been completed.

Bidding ended at $22,100 this time. Still no sale.

Yes, CA is supposed to fall into the sea, any day now.

Inf (Andrew) The sticker with keycoade infor must have been removed by a prior owner. I was rooting around a couple of days ago and found an old Owner's Manual from my first Z (1973). Seems I peeled the keycode sticker and applied it to the back of the manual.

Be glad to. I'd even furnish them with maps.

You think too much! :pirate: I don't want ANYONE moving into CA. Looking to get rid of a few million people in fact.

That's the spirit! Please do your best to convince friends, neighbors, and relatives to stay in OH also. If you need any more population in OH, I'd be glad to refer folks your way.

15/16" is the diameter of the piston inside the m/c. BTW, the change of master cylinder is not "needed", it's just that with bigger wheel cylinders it couldn't hurt to push more fluid with a bigger m/c. The one in a stock 240Z is 7/8" (i.e. 14/16"). Minimal difference.

Ron! SHhhhhhhh! Isn't California crowded enough?
