have you checked for Spark?, are the injectors working fine?

mmm check the fuel presure, it must be around 36 psi.... it seems like you have a clogged screem, do you have the FSM? download it from www.carfiche.com

That´s a question for the www.hybridz.org guys.... don´t get me wrong........do a little search here, and try to be more specific, tell us about your engine set up, pistons?, porting? head?, do you want to keep it N/A or swap a Turbo? Camilo

As Davi said, get the FSM from http://carfiche.com/manuals023/cars/, that´s from an 82, but is pretty much the same......, i would check the conections to and from the AFM (air flow meter)... Camilo

you could consider so lucky , here in my country there are no junkyards and even no ZXs, and mine has some rust on the rails and the body, i wish i could buy a nice shell, as you could do it in your country. Find a good one and swap the engine and turbo!!!

And they are still wining, here in my country, there is a racing championship (San Diego Circuit) just for the oldies, and you can find 240Zs always in the first positions over the Porsches, FIATs, Alfa Romeo, MG, etc.... Camilo

find the FSM (factory service manual) from the 82 ZX in www.carfiche.com , right now is not available, but check it out constantly until you can download it. Camilo

Hi guys, i´m thinking of modifying my engine a little bit, and add some more horses, and maybe reach 210-230 HP, i don´t know if I expect too much because I just want to do some minor work on the head(N42) like a minor porting and mill , also want to use flat pistons and improve the air filter and install a 2.5 in. header, the problem is that I don`t have any idea how much compresion should have this engine (L28-N42) and could reach with these modifications, I don´t want to exceed a CR of 9.5:1-10:1, due to the emissions laws here are very strict and I want my car street legal. I would like to hear some recomendations !!! Also want to ask you guys, what includes a “cam kit”?, as you can see English is not my native language and sometimes there are some words or technical terms that I don’t fully understand. Thank you guys in advance

Keep us updated, i did very much the same, the interior of mine is burgundy and i refreshed some of the plastic parts applying a plastic primer and then a few coats of burgundy red....

Welcome to the club, i own a 1980 ZX too, do a search to find some of the answers to your questions, and if you want pay a visit to Hybridz.org there is more information about the zx. Cheers from Colombia

Karlb i would like to know if you solved your problem and how?, i have experienced something similar and could not solve it ....

i Suggest you to check this link http://carfiche.com/manuals022/cars/ there is the FSM for the 82, right is not available but could be at any moment, that one could help you. When i bought mine the original radio was disconnected and the windows did work fine, i think you should go in other way to find the problem

Mars23z, are you talking about your car or your Spaceship to Mars:alien:?

Here in my country several years ago nissan sold all its stock to the parts shops, but i find that really good, because my parts dealer sells me the parts cheaper than to other Nissan or Datsun owners just because my car looks exactly as his

Ohh you're right i didn't realize he is in New Zealand, my mistake, and my little knowledge of english.... greets from Colombia Camilo

I've found this pic in a local website, for the people that have not seen how it looks an engine bay of a 240C....may be this will help!!!

Hi guys!, i´m thinking of replacing the injectors of my ZX since three of them are leaking and I suppose the rest of them are gonna leak soon. My Nissan dealer has no injectors in stock so I´m thinking in rebuild‘em or purchase’em from ebay, which is cheaper than rebuild, the cost of the 6 injectors may reach about 120 US$ with handling and shipping, and I think is time to do it due to the Colombian Peso is becoming stronger ( but not my wallet). I wonder if you guys have had some experiences with the rebuilt injectors from ebay , should I take the risk and buy them? thanks guys

Well i found these pics of a 81 Blue Bird SSS, this car is posted on a local web site, the owner is asking for it more or less 6k US$. i wasn't sure if you guys are talking about this car but... Camilo
