    240Z Storage Find

    in Non Tech Board

    Posted

    Let me look into the title process here in SC...I am a licenced dealer so that may help.  Looking to replace the 70 I sold a couple of years ago.  Shoot me some pics of yours and I will figure out the title problem...when you say not clear...what exactly do you mean

    HLS30-14392 is no longer mine

    Didn't see that one coming. Good luck with the Porsche!

     

    Yeah, it surprised my wife when I floated the idea, and I sold it thru word of mouth while I was on Leave from Iraq for two weeks. But, it is only a matter of time before I find the right 240 to build another one. ;)

    After 12 years of ownership, countless hours, days and years of blood, and sweat, I sold my 240Z. It was not an easy decision, and one that has disturbed the nature of the force. Friends from far and wide...some on this site, and on others, think I am crazy....my kids want to dis-own me....my wife is worried I will just find another basket case project. I just felt I needed to step back a bit, and re-evaluate where I was going with my life and my cars. I am not ready, nor do I think I ever will be, for a trailer queen track car, and that is where the Z was heading. I had tweaked the susp and the engine to the point that it was almost a labor just to drive it on the street. I had not truly enjoyed driving her daily since I lived in Italy and could open her up any time I wanted. The paint was too beautiful....the interior too clean....the susp too tight....the engine too beastly, for an every day driver, and man how I loved to drive her.

     

    She has gone to a good home, and i may have visitation rights when it is all said and done. She now resides on the showroom floor of Briggs Nissan in Manhattan, KS...the dealership owner is the proud owner of his "new" race car. My wife says the kids went nuts when they saw it there the other day while getting the X-Terra serviced. I have a feeling that after this deployment, I will be contracted (of sorts) to sort it out for the Auto-X season.

     

    Now, After 24 years of Datsun ownership, I could not just walk away clean could I? I mean, I have a wealth of knowlege and experience to share. Laughs, Pains, and Joys. I have made great friends and travelled the country to show and race her. I have learned from my experiences and from others what makes these cars tick, and how to keep em going and if desired, improve them. There are those of you (you know who you are) who seem to think I may be the last "true" shade tree Weber tuner for these cars...and I hope to continue to share that knowlege with all of you who need and/or want it. Besides...I need to keep my mind sharp for the father son 240Z build planned for 2016...so keep your eyes out for that basket case project...I might be interested. In the mean time, I guess I will have to just enjoy my 944T.

     

     

    Has anyone ever heard of "Datsun Spirit" in VA?

    I took in a driveshaft that needed new u-joints pressed in and when I got it back, they were pressed in...but he did not grease them and the u-joint was not pressed in evenly which was causing binding. I ended up greasing it myself and had to take it to a friend of mine to get it "adjusted" (one solid whack with a Big F****** Hammer).

     

     

    U-joints for Datsuns are not pressed in, well you CAN press them in, but then you bend the ears. The proper way to replace U-joints in a Z is with a big effing hammer.

    Formula 1: Mid eighties turbo era cars or current V-8 cars?

     

     

    TURBO LOVER BABY...It was once said (Jackie Stewart maybe) that the 1.5l Turbo engines were small controlled nuclear reactions...how the hell else are you gonna get over 1000hp out of a 1.5l 4 banger.

    weber install help me

    in Nissan L6 Forum

    Posted

    well i have a couple specific questions with pictures ( hopfully they work)

    1. my stock 71 linkage is 2 1/2 inches too long to fit on the linkage for the webers, what do people do?

    2. all of my webers are missing this plate on the back, the choke plate? can i run without it and will it affect driveability? beyond just starting it up and waiting?

    3. where should i plug in the tube for the (vacuum advance?) from the bottem of the distributor?

    4. what about a heat sheild, custom?

    5. as it is now there is no fuel return, both sides are plugged. is this okay?

    6. the SUs had a coolant line going through them, the webers dont. is this okay?

     

    thanks for any and all the help

     

     

    1. Cut and weld

    2. YES...you need that, or the blockoff plate...they are out there

    3. CANT...take it off the dizzy and throw it away

    4. Kamineri sells the "Datsun Comp" heat shield (some mods required for use with webers but bolt on for Mikunis) or custom

    5. I recommend using the factory SU fuel rail

    6. no coolant line required

     

    You will need to take the carbs off the manifold to install the blockoff plate. I reccomend How to Build & Power Tune Weber & Dellorto DCOE & DHLA Carburettors My link

    No Mattel's for me, M14's please.

     

    In the same vein,

     

    G3 or FAL?

     

    You know, if the Belgians had authorized the sale of the FN/FAL to W. Germany, the G3, aka CETME aka H&K 91, would have never been built. The history behind these two weapons is very interesting.

    That bing said.....

     

    I'll take........DAMN

     

    If I could only have one..then it would be the G-3

    I bit of a older thread, But i purchased a Mr Gasket 42S,

    "Mr. Gasket #720-42S

    Electric Fuel Pump

    Carbureted Applications

    42 GPH

    2-3.5 PSI"

     

    I feel the PSI is right. but will it flow enough for triple 40's jetted for DD use, on a stock L28

     

     

    it should work just fine

    Improving the wiper motor

    in Miscellaneous Tech

    Posted

    All this swaping motors, trying this or that, cant get it to park, gotta use a different switch..etc. For what.....just remove the existing OEM motor....carefully open it up and re-brush the motor. They have carbon brushes that get worn from 30+ years of use. I have done this on several datsun wiper motors, and after re-brushing and cleaning / lubing all the pivots...they work flawlessly.
