Update after ZG flares and Rotas:
-
I have to admit guys, I was SOUR yesterday night because I had 240hoke cut up a CLEAN CLEAN Arizona car to do my ZGs. So, I figure I would make myself feel better by coming down hard on you psdenno.
BUT we finished the install today, and it is gorgeous, I love it! Having the wheels tuck under the flares is so nice.
-
Yup, just like the majority of flares that are sold - totally cosmetic. Just like the Nissan display Z I saw on the Ginza in Tokyo in 1971. Incidentally, "Rice" is the seed of a monocot plant Oryza sativa. As a cereal grain, it is the most important staple food for a large part of the world's human population.
Now, if you're talking "wannabe", those of us who drive a 240 tend to believe that any Z with a model number bigger than 240 is a wannabe. Fortunately, it's a live and let live world.

Actually, I have a 240, and I guess you can't take a joke, and neither can Joel.

It was a little difficult for me to drill my perfect front fenders last month when I installed the front flares. The rears are next when the weather is a bit better. I'm not cutting the fenders, however, just adding the flares over the edge of the factory wheel well openings. Looks good and makes me happy. As others have said, it's just a car. I've owned it for 39 good years and it's time to dress it up.

Non-functional ZG flares? Rice rice baby!
*This is a joke, all you people with non-functional ZG flares, please do not cry or get upset.*

Your car doesn't have a mass air flow sensor. It has an air flow meter (AFM). The AFM is a large box ahead of and in line with the throttle body. So what is it that you replaced? Have you read the fuel injection bible?
The temperature sensor is on the front of the head in the thermostat housing. Clean the connector on the sensor and the harness side and the bullet connectors just upstream from the connector.
SEARCH my friend and your questions will be answered.
Front, rear, same thing, been awhile since I looked at one.
Sounds like your AFM might be out of whack as well.
-
You're probably going to have to throw cash on top of your bike, just a heads up.
-
It's about $40, located on the head, towards the back, passenger side.
-
Have you replaced the cylinder head temp. sensor?
-
For the love of all things holy and sacred, please do not spray or roll your car with Rustoleum like listed above. It looks like crap, it doesn't last and did I mention it looks like crap? You can have real car paint for a few more $20 dollar bills.

Out of box Holleys are safely designed for sea level applications. They're typically pig rich since fouled plugs are a lesser liability than melted pistons. Unfortunately the compromise is driveability and optimum performance levels. Best bet is to go wide band. I have 383, AEM wideband, HP 750 244@ .050, ..613/585 ISKY, Vic Jr, Mallory 140 and return style reg like G-Vette's 1st pic above. T56 (.62 6th) w/ 3.7 rear and get easy mid 20's mpg cruising 75-80.
Diddling with the jets and powervalve restrictions is just the tip of the tuning berg.
I got tired of all the compromises I was dealing with my HP carb and started researching, eventually drilling and tapping out my $600+ carb and making my own bleeds, and tuning myself. I'd post my specs for my 750, but its absolutely pointless since I'm at high altitude and every engine combo will be different. Not that you will have to, but as a hint I'm a mile from any Holley rule of thumb spec and have changed every emulsion hole, air bleed and jet. The result has been a carb that performs like FI, no stumbles hiccups, or misses, flat cruise and wot AFR and for the first time my plugs stay clean.
Not for the fainthearted as you can turn your carb or your engine into a pile of junk as well.
Here's endless reading from here, some good advice, some just big egos,...good luck!:
Thanks John,
Looks like I will be moving to Laramie, WY in August, and the elevation there is 8000 ft!

If you watch till the end its a 80's camaro.
Ehhh wrong! There is also an s30 in the crash.
-
Sounds good if they are not cracked or worn out.
-
Those SU's are a repost, third time I have seen them on here in a year. I guess they never get sold? Wonder what the reserve is.

Sparks280Z: Use a return type regulator. www.summitracing.com/parts/AEI-13301/
Thanks, I purchased one from Summit. I ordered it Monday night and it was here in less than 24 hours, that was fast!
-
Yeah. I asked since I went to the JY and saw literally 3-4 OM603 powered cars with IP's just waiting for the grim reaper to come calling. At the price of a JY pump compared to a newer pump or a Cummins pump, it'd be worth a shot.
I am refering to the Bosch p7100 on 94-98 Cummins. You can usually get the "smaller" pumps for $150 used.

I know, but at a certain point, it's a common modification (if you're requiring it) to go to a larger 9-13L diesel mercedes IP as they used that similar style of IP in a whole bunch of larger diesels in eurpoe.
My questions was whether or not Scott could use a MBZ IP to fuel his LD28T expedition...
I was referring to when you mentioned the black smoke cloud in the video.
But anyways, I am not sure about a Mercedes IP on an LD28, but I was working on putting a mechanical Cummins 5.9 pump onto an LD28.

Looking to buy a set of the fresh air ducts.
Below I circled the ducts in green.
A pair off of a 1971 to 1978 would be great, thanks.
-
But which one?
Speaking of IP's, I wonder if you could run a MBZ turbo diesel IP on your LD for more fueling?
You can have the stock mercedes IP modified for more fuel.

"60 over 350, squared, line honed and torque plate honed Keith Black hypereutectic pistons. Speed pro rings. 6" Elgin 5140 rods with ARP bolts.

NOT 383 from this description....
It has the 400 crank, just didn't list it. It is in the other paper work I have.
Is that what you were thinking I was missing?
-
Nion: Those are very unique and attractive wheels on your Datsun. Who is the manufacturer and where can they be obtained? Please advise. Thanks.
Those are from the z31 300zx. I think they were on 84-86 NA 300zxs

Thanks Dr. Hunt
