Ah, thank you!! I looked up dashpot and found more info on what that does now.

I saw this white nipple that looks like it should have a line on it, but alas, there is none. Car has been driving just fine though.. huh.

It's always nice to know of other z car owners in the area. How many are we in Wisconsin? I'm from Manitowoc County

I have them. Off a 76 280z, but I'm selling the armrests as a whole set for 30 bucks.. not really sure where you could get just the clips. maybe ebay?

I have one for a 76 280z

ill send you a PM NgoZ

looking for gas tank straps for my 76 280z 2+2

Just thought id share a real nice page i found with you guys: http://www.jdmgallery.com/2012/02/the-ultimate-l28et-guidewhat-you-need-for-350whp-hybridz/ mentions that 3/8 in and 5/16 out is a good choice for a build. I know i wont be pushing those hp numbers anytime soon but pays to prepare right?

Well... being as the lines are rusted through and broken off in a couple spots, I really really should replace them So i mean, sure 5/16 is fine, but 3/8 wont hurt right? Well.. techinically i guess it would take a hair longer to fill up and build the proper pressure but whos gonna notice! 3/8 feed and 5/16 return sound about right? is there any reason not to?

So, given the choice, 3/8 is preferable just for the upgrade potential down the road? What about the return line? I've heard that can be smaller. Again given the choice (I'm redoing the whole thing) what would you guys choose?

Excuse all my silly questions, but aren't the turbo injectors different from the N/A ones? I have an N42 L28E Non turbo, so would your injectors even work well with mine?

NA

if running all new fuel lines, (and using a Pallnet rail), why is it recommended to use 3/8 fuel feed line instead of 5/16? Are there really any benefits?

Thanks Tony I'm gonna try to find some info on how to set up the engine for those supra injectors. If anyone else wants to link anything, post away.

I've searched the forum but haven't found a definite answer. Here's what I want to do. I have a stock L28, Im gonna go with an aftermarket fuel pump (MSD 2225 is on my list but i'd like suggestions for another one that's adjustable and reliable in case I do an engine swap in the future) Then the line will lead to Pallnet's fuel rail (http://pallnet.webs.com/) But here's where im stuck; I'd go ahead and get the standard barbed rail to use stock injectors, but since mine need replacing anyway I could get different injectors. I know there are lots of options (http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/52695-fuel-injector-upgradesswap/) but i dont want to have to change anything else (control module or air flow meter) I'm curious about the turbo supra 440's people are talking about, can i put those in (with Pallnet's 11mm o-ring rail) just like that, no other changes? or does anything else need to be adjusted to work? wil the higher cc throw the mix off? I think those supra injectors are also low impedance. Is that all fine and dandy or, what exactly do I have to do to complete the mod?

Hey guys, my name is Alex, I've just bought myself a 1976 280z 2+2, it has been sitting since '96 and I'm trying to get her running again. I've tested for spark, that works, new plugs and wires too, fuel lines aren't leaking, replaced the fuel filter, im getting fuel to the injectors but havent tested for pressure. as you've probably guessed, I cant get her to start yet. Now I've been reading through this "280z fuel injection system theory and troubleshooting' book : http://www.xenons130.com/files/280zfuelinjectionbook.pdf Very handy. The interesting thing I noticed at the top of page 3 is that the pump shouldn't run when the key is turned to the on position. Or am I misunderstanding this? I read something about pushing the flap in the AFM to engage the pump, but that doesnt do anything for me as the pump is always running. I looked at the AFM anways, flap works, and closes, nothing in the way) My pump runs (I can hear it) continuosly when the key is on acc, 'on', start; any position other than off. So is this normal? or should it build up the proper pressure and stop there until the engine starts? Today the engine wanted to turn over but after two coughs gave up. (starting system works, I'm pretty sure its a fuel delivery issue). Is it possible it might be flooding, with that pump pumping relentlesly? Any and all help is appreciated, just trying to figure this thing out.
