  5. hey guys, i was wondering if you could help me possibly point out what happened to my 240z the other night as it would not start back up and i had to get it towed. heres some details on the car: 73 240z 4spd running round top su carbs have not done final tune, running a little rich, fairly new plugs, distributor, wires petronix ignitor electronic ignition current minor issues : plugged in blower control, never tested out slight coolant leak from heater control valve hose (only leaks and makes hissing sounds sometimes) running rich, strong exhaust smell when at stoplight and shoots flames on upshifts tach never worked, just goes straight to 8k rpm when ignition is switched on speedometer recently stopped working water temp sensor does not work I have maybe driven the car a total of 10 times on short trips i would say 20 min tops and the car always ran fine (a little rich as it shoots flames every now and then. however, saturday night 60 degrees out i decided to test it out and drove it for over an hour straight (normal driving not racing) around town never went over 60 mph and the car ran fine. After about an hour of driving, i went to a store and parked it maybe 3 minutes. after i was done, car fired right up and off we went. 2 stop lights later the car starts bogging and showing a loss of 50% power as i was going up a very slight incline. The car then cuts power. I tried restarting it maybe 4 times and it fired up for a good 5 seconds before bogging and cutting again. it wouldnt start again after that so i had to have it towed home. I didnt have time to work on it that night, so i let it sit until today. Today, i checked to see if it has gas in the tank, looks around half tank, also checked to see if any hoses or electrical wires got disconnected and they all look fine. looked where the fuel filter is, and it looks like its flowing fine. Checked under the distributor and it looks okay. after trying to start it 4 times today, it cranked over and is running fine. I just drove it down the street and back today, and its running as if it never had a problem. any ideas would could have caused it to die on the the other night?

  12. hey guys, I bought my car as a non-running project and now have it to where i am almost ready for the first fire up. I need some help from the experts here at hybrid z to identify some miscellaneous disconnected wiring and hoses before i am ready to fire the engine up. heres the pics: RED: these appear to be vaccuum hoses that the previous owner put golf tees in. does anybody know where they connect to? Green: there are holes which are threaded and look like something can be screwed into them. does anyone know what they are for ? RED: anybody know where i am to connect these to? and with what size hoses ? Red: im assuming these are something to do with emissions. now that i have the dgvs can i just leave them there or take them out ? RED: DGV guys is the vacuum hose which connects the two carbs by the green circles necessary? RED: where do these two wires go ? they appear to be part of a stock car harness. it is bunched with two yellow wires which go to the thermostat and the distributor what is this thing? if you guys can help me out it would be great
  13. Hey guys, I am planning to pull the engine today using a cherry picker and a engine leveler. The leveler i have is the one with 4 chains which you would bolt to the motor. Where are the best places on the l24 to bolt the engine leveler to ? i checked the front and rear and my engine does not have the eye hooks for some reason. I just want to double check which points are best. Thanks
  14. looking to buy a full lock set for a 240z. this includes the doors, ignition, and trunk. i prefer one key for all locks, but two is ok as well. let me know what you got
  15. iirc he did that because the conversion project would be less than half what it would cost to register the real m3 in his country
  16. my 240 isnt running yet, but when it is it will be my daily driver. for now its either the m3 or a 07 accord coupe
  17. maybe the bimmer driver was having a bad day? loll
