  1. ok, you said it could be a bad brake booster but my brake pedal is not hard to push, isnt that the main symptom of a bad booster? when I bought the car the PO said the front brakes are very worn and so was the rotors so he bought new calipers and rotors and pads but he didnt get them on yet so he gave me the new parts so I guess I have to put them on. could the bad front brakes make it seem like theres a booster problem or should I replace the booster when I replace the front brakes? Could that little valve between the booster and the manifold be bad and should I replace that first or just replace the booster? I hooked up a vaccuum line "T" and connected the dashpot along with a line that goes from the thing on the pass. fender that looks like an old plastic type septic tank. I dont know what it is but alot of vacc. line go to it and the round thing above it. my car runs hotter and now my oil gauge barely moves. The line that came from the tank thing had suction so should it be hooked up to the manifold if it already has vacc? or will its suction counter act that from the manifold? I'll post pics as soon as the batteries for my cam finish charging. also how many full turns (from fully closed) should my afm adjust screw, the idle adjust screw and the dashpot be when set to factory specs? All have been messed with so I dont know how to adjust without starting at fully closed possition.I heard the idle set screw should be around 6 out but im not 100% thanx sorry for the long post
  2. my 1978 280Z 5spd shudders and shakes between 1300 and 1800 rpms wether revving up or down. it also uses a half tank of fuel in less than 50 miles. the plugs are wet and black. theres no fuel canister, the egr is unhooked, the dashpot has no vacc. line attached, and when ever I pump the brakes the car revs up is that normal? the afm serial is a-31 618 420 is this the right one? newer plugs wires and I cleaned alot of connections but to no avail. it also revs up and down at idle and when I press the brakes it almost dies heres some pics of my engine, what would cause the shudder and other problems? im heading to parts store now to get a fuel pressure tester and more contact cleaner. other than the gas gulping and shuddering this thing idles high but it goes fast. thanx oh, 1978 280Z non turbo efi 5spd
  3. why would I pay for the g-nose when I can get this(in the 1st attachment) for half the price? your g-nose looks nothing like the second attachment wich is the real thing. it looks more rounded than yours and thats what the people want the g-nose for. Now if you can round your g-nose more than we can talk some worth while business. I know 4 people so far that want the rounder one and will pay good $ for it
