  1. Hi Lazeum, Thanks for the suggestions. I definitely remember the mesh filter for the block - I put it there! Ill check my rocker cover for the other filter. I did have the block dipped and cleaned, but not deburred. The crank was polished and balanced, but is still the original size - no material taken off. The oil pump is a stock 280zx pump... but maybe it is worn and allowing excess oil to pass through it! Anyway, Ill do your diagnostic tests and find which breather is ejecting all that oil to start with. Thanks again, D
  2. Hi all, My catch can doesn't catch any oil, instead it gushes oil from its filter when the car is revved hard. Both the rocker cover and the crank case breathers are plumbed with nice fat pipe to the catch can. The catch can has a small pod style filter on top. Oil goes everywhere around the engine bay and NONE is retained in the can, so it's being ejected from the engine with some serious pressure. I have an L28 block, N42 head, stock nissan flat tops, mild cam grind, all other standard internals, standard bore - honed clean but no excess taken off, fresh bearings, rings and gaskets throughout. The car has extractors and triple Dell'Ortos. Head cleaned up and rebuilt, new valves throughout. Tappet/lash pad clearances all correct. There's nothing really fancy or unusual with the engine, and it doesn't haemorrhage oil from anywhere else. Anyone know why it's so keen to purge it's oil all over the shop? It goes and sounds great otherwise, which is nice. Cheers, Drew
  3. Hi all, I have a '78 Datsun Skyline. In Japan this model came out with electric fender mounted mirrors, but here in Australia they came with ugly, non-electric door mirrors. I found a set of the JDM electric mirrors, and was told to use the mirror control switches found the in 280zx, as they are supposedly identical. However the mirrors have four wires hanging from them: white, white, green and blue. Whereas the switches have five wires each: The left plug has black and four yellow wires (yellow/red, yellow/black, yellow and yellow/green). The right plug has black, yellow/green, blue/red, blue/black and blue/grey. I don't have a wiring guide for the 280zx, so if someone can shed some light on where the wires are supposed to go that would be great. Which wire gives me left/right and up/down I can work out with trial and error, but I'd at least like to know which wire supplies power before I start a bench test. Cheers, Drew
