240260280z

John, What size wheels are on that Z? I have a set of similar BBS-RS 15" that are 12" wide. I need an outer lip 6-5/8" to make a set as 1 is missing a chunk o' aluminum.

Most of those plugs look rich with black soot.

If it is fuel injected, and siteunseen's great advice of checking for a spark shows a good spark then try swapping the #6 injector lead and # 5 injector lead. If the problem is with an electrical connection then it will show by swapping. If your car has EFI then clean all electrical connections: http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/electricalconnections/index.html

WOW fantastic! Love the shots. I forgot to mention that the fingering AFM measurments we did could be on the rich side to please mark the current spot and tighten the spring as required. Next time out I'll bring my O2 sniffer so that we can baseline and optimize

Japanese racing white! Wayyyyyy Coooollllll

You should know me in that I am just trying to make you stay here just a little longer .... little by little and you will be back cause we all miss you It's ok prodigal son, we got the fattest calf getting fatter

I guess there may be one or two Porsches that can take a z.... not many but maybe a few

BTW we discovered that there is a 10psi difference between using a compression tester with a rubber hose attachment vs. using the straight pipe attachment. This may be good news for those of us with lower readings and the rubber hose testers which seem to stretch. Geoff's even had steel braid but still a 10psi difference.

The pleasure was mine. Geoffrey is a mechanic and fabricator extraordinaire so it was e-z-p-z...I just had to show how to do one valve adjust then he did all the rest in a blink of an eye. Mr Obvious I hope you and Geoffrey get to talk as you two have similar genius-ous ways and ideas... knowing you both it would probably be telepathic mind meld . Geoff's car sure looks nice. A great rich metallic green with shiny chrome spoke wheels and one of the nicest and quietest interiors with way-cool creature comforts that would make the car very desirable on Canadian winter mornings. I was so used to working on 240s that it took a while to remember some of the classic 280z EFI snags but when we dug in, they popped up: corroded connections, AFM slightly off the mark, vacuum line re-routes, TVS a wee bit off, and timing a little advanced. Doing the checks then bringing everything into the sweet spots one at a time with enjoyable test drives to break up the wrenching was fun and a nice way to break up travel, work and hotel life. I was disappointed with myself on our next to last test drive as Geoff said it was still missing a little . Up to that point I did not bother with the timing apart from showing TDC to Geoff as he set the idle with an adjustable advance timing light to 17BTD. (as it seemed like it should have been ok, but, I did not want to leave with Geoff disappointed so I checked..... it was hitting 44 @ ~ 3000 rpm so I removed the vacuum advance and retarded it to ~ 13BTDC with full advance hitting ~ 36BTDC. Wow, Geoff took the wheel and said the car got its Mojo back. When I was not expecting it, he hit punched it in first and my legs lifted off the floor (torque + Washington slope effect Yup... mojo was back. There was a whistling under-load ~ 3000rpm however Geoff's great detective skills found a hairline crack in the EGR pipe and also thought it could also be a bolt in the exhaust flow. Pretty, peppy and comfortable car, nice owner, nice family, nice location nice day. BIG THANKS!

All of the above. The Porsche still looks mighty purdy however a red 240 will add to that pallor

back-flowing injectors helps clean them.

I'll try to arrange for fri or sat if i'm feeling better. Caught a darn cold and would not want to pass along. Pm me your number and we could at least talk, I'm working 2pm to midnight shifts but I should be off fri evening and all of saturday.

Where are you in Seattle? I am currently in Mukilteo.

280z strut mount insulators mounted on the front?

make sure the calipers are on the correct side. Their bleeders should be on the top.
