    It's been a very hectic past few days, but kits have shipped for everyone I've requested payment from. Hopefully they all arrive without incident.

     

    Zilvia_gt and braid11, message me with your mailing address so I can get a shipping quote for you, and I'll get your kits out asap, once I receive payment. 

     

    I'm putting the finishing touches on the manual and should have that out soon.

    Need help in Calgary on cross Canada trip

    in S30 Series - 240z, 260z, 280z

    Posted

    M son is driving from BC to Ontario in a 240z with 10,000miles on a rebuilt L28 triple webers. 280 distributor, xr700/PS92 ignition. Fuel pressure is 3.5 psi. It ran fine for 12 hours to Calgary, in heavy rain.

    Now , without any load, sitting in the driveway, he says it sounds perfect at idle, and it revs up high just fine. But as soon as he tries to let the clutch out to drive, it stumbles, coughs, won't develop power. It then tries to rev up and go, then stumbles again. At high RPMs it will go, but not up a hill. It will not maintain power up a hill, or under load.

     

    He noticed a spark plug wire came off, and another lost the connector end, but that was fixed, and the problem remains.

     

    Is there anyone in Calgary who I could send him to, mechanic or enthusiast. Will pay cash. Or any advice is appreciated.

     

    This was my long term project/rebuild, that I put tons of time and money into. I donated to him as he is getting married. I ran it daily for a couple years. Then it sat for several years, and was run every couple months. But it ran fine for 10+ hours today over the Rockies.

    Thanks for any advice.

    Is there a way to test for distributor output?

    Looking for help please, I searched for hours with no luck.

     

    My 1972 240 with HI-6 spark box, P92 coil, and 280z distributor has worked perfectly for many years. Now it won't start. No spark at the plugs. The HI-6 status light does not blink when I hold the key on start, cranking the motor over. This is supposed to mean the HI-6 is not receiving a trigger signal from the distrubutor.

     

    A mechanic said the HI-6 box has failed, it's about 10 years old (it's been in an area that gets moist/damp for some of the year). Before I replace it, I would like to make sure the distrubtor is not the problem.

     

    So is there a way to test if the distributor is sending a trigger pulse from the pick-up coil?
