Ok, running through the last few items on my to do list before going in for roadworthy certificate... Finally My issue: When I got the car -72 240z- the previous owner had removed the hazard switch. Now I can't find the wiring or plug to hook it back up. I'm sure it's all still there but as I'm using a universal switch I don't know what the plug looks like. Can someone point me in the direction? Does anyone have pictures/ colours of the hazard switch wiring/plug?? Cheers Will

Thanks Apex, Thats a big help. Yep, got everything there ticked off except for the position of the floats. Do you mean the top of the float should be parallel with the bowl cap? At the moment, set to 10.3mm, mine are a long way away from parrallel.

Excellent! Thanks heaps!

Ok, now I've set both floats to 10.31mm and now it's running way to rich. Does anyone know what to set the 240z carb floats to? Any help would be awesome!

True, but cheating gets it faster!

Okieday!

I have the dakota digital guages hooked up but i need to get the suitable oil pressure and water temp senders. Can you tell me what size the water temp thread needs to be so i can order it from DD?? Cheers

Bump No Love?

But how sensitive? The guide that i have says set it to 10.31mm (0.401 inch) for 1970-71 "4 hole suction chamber" carbs How close do i have to be? mm perfect? or close enough is good enough?

How critical is the adjustment on the floats of Hitachi Carbs???

Bump

G'Day I had a good search, but cant find any help on this one. Can anyone tell me what thread size the water temperature sensor and oil pressure sensor has for a '73 240z? I have installed dakota digital guages hoping that the factory sensors would be close to accurate. They werent! If anyone knows, or can point me to a post it would be most appreciated. Cheers Will

Thanks everyone! Heaps of information. I figured out where i was going wrong last night though. Phlebmaster was right, i needed to cock the choke levers until just before they pull the jets down, then set them. The round tops have a much more complex choke lever system than the standard flat tops. Again, thanks everyone. My Z is puuurrrrrrring! Cheers Will

Thanks again, But when i pull the part that connects to the choke cable all the way up or down it wont move the jets up or down at all. Maybe i have hooked it up to the wrong spot.

Thanks heaps, I will try that. One more question, on the original Hitachi SU carbs, when the choke cable is pulled, the pistons are pulled down slightly, where as the genuine SU carbs the choke cable doesnt seem to pull them down, but moves a different arm on each carb. Hopefully someone can understand me and let me know if this is correct. Thanks again Will

G'day, Last weekend i removed my old original carbs and intake manifold from my L24, which were running, but in need of attention. I took some genuine SUs off of a Skyline, which were running an L28 perfectly. Now mind my lack of carb knowledge but... Everything bolted up and plumbed up nicely, but now my L24 wont start. The only way i worked out to get it started is if i pull the ?pistons? at the bottom of the SUs downward (they hold down near the bottom) the car will start, sound smooth, but at too high a speed and too rich. Any help on what i need to adjust would be great. Thanks Will

Can anyone help?

Hi, I am looking at getting a Dakota Digital Odyssey dash set for a 260z running L28 with a 5 speed from a 280 zx. They have asked me if the speedo puts out 2K pulses per minute, or 4K PPM. They need to supply the correct pulse sensor. Is anyone able to help out here? Cheers

But of course, the lights wattage was way too high for the 1974 headlamp switch, leading us to a new forum. How many HybridZers does it take to change a headlamp switch?

OK, i just saw another persons picture of a fuel damper in the tread "can anybody tell me what this is" Maybe what i'm thinking of isnt a fuel damper. Its a black tank/case that sits on the internal side of the fuel filler, with a fuel inlet/outlet. Hrmm???

Hello, I am rebuilding a 260z, and i have somehow completely lost the fuel damper! Does anyone know if it will be a problem to simply bypass it? Has anyone done this before? Thanks -Willstar

HI! I am in the middle of a 250GTO kit and i am having trouble finding any information on what wheels will suit the car. Where could i find something that will fill the rear arches? Please let me know if any of you have any information. Cheers -Willstar
