not having issues with life as much as i am with fade, lots of braking and turns on back roads not so much high speed

simple yet awesome, i like it! might look into something like that.... where do you have the air coming from? i dont want to put an airdam on the car so was thinking of getting air from somewhere around/ under the grill or lower valance

has anyone ever made a backing plate that allows for ducting to directly cool the front braking system? something like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=brake+duct+backing+plates&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj73szWjqTdAhUGSN8KHWWxAPMQ_AUICygC&biw=1133&bih=666#imgrc=onOrFg9P04DUqM: any input on how to make one for the 240z would be highly appreciated! just installed new porterfield pads and good rotors and still suffering from fade on the backroads....

checked and cleaned plugs, one cam lobe had some scarring so it got a tiny adjustment... hoping that isnt it but starting to think it might be... nothing electrical was touched, its intermittent

yep

was mostly highway driving, could feel a little around 1.8k and 3,5k

Its a 73 240z, has an l28 that is carb'd, i believe they are 3 screw carbs. I replaced the fuel pump, filter, and the lines in the engine bay yesterday... now i have a misfire yay

car did it again today.... drained the tank car had ~8 gallons in it when it did this, drove about 10 miles and then parked for about 20 mins then it wouldnt start... pulled the pump, pressed it by hand quite a few times and then was back on the road

Had a couple situations where I thought the car ran out of gas or something sputtered and died and then either needed gas or just needed to pull the valve cover and pump the fuel pump by hand until gas comes up and then it usually starts right up.... happened about 4 times, one i think was because the car was out of gas and then put gas in and needed to be pumped after that... other 3 car had gas.... is this a fuel pump issue or the dreaded vapor lock? located in nj, these have all happened within the past 2 months any guidance would be appreciated!

The sensor is less than 2 years old I believe...what could cause it to fail so early?

1973 Datsun 240z, had engine rebuild less than 5k miles ago, oil changes with 10-30 vr1 oil. Normally has pretty high oil pressure that stays up at least 75%+ of the dial at 3-3.5k rpm, now it does not go as high and it goes down much quicker than it normally does and gets closer to 0 then it ever has. Have not touched anything on the engine, except for pulling valve cover to prime fuel pump a couple times since i ran out of gas.... any input or direction would be appreciated! thank you

Spoke With Edan today about his stage 4 kit and if it fit on 15" rims he said it fits on some but that i will have to grind the caliper down an bit and maybe install a space. Has anyone installed his stage 4 kit for rear disks with konig rewind 15x7 -0 rims? I want to know how much grinding they needed to do and what size spacers they needed... any input would be appreciated!

low and behold the internet was right! checked the combo switch and there was major pitting and one of the little rubber caps on the springs was totally gone, tried following the headlight switch rebuild article but the thing was too gone.... ended up making things worse and now the whole things apart doesnt want to work.....looking for a new combo switch or just the little caps and that box with the tabs for a 1973 240z, posted in the in search of parts section too.... Thank you guys so much for the help! hopefully someone has these parts sitting around

Need a 1973 headlight combo switch, im in nj so can drive or factor that for shipping Mine crapped out, i tried cleaning that little box with the tabs that controls the headlights and tail lights but the issues was with those little caps that cover the springs in the mechanism they were totally messed up and that whole box is kind of dead.... looking for either entire assembly or just the little headlight box with the rocker switches and those 2 springs with the little caps. Attached a pic of the box and the little caps over the springs, let me know what you have! car isnt really entirely drivable with out this! thank you!

Does anyone have a set of the Modern Motorsports brackets that allow you to use 300zx rotors and 240sx calipers? could you send me the measurements? Have access to a high end machine shop this summer thought if i could get the measurements might be able to make my own! Has anyone made their own brackets for this kind of set up? any advice would be much appreciated / designs would be awesome!

which plastic parts would you like? I 3d print many parts, can have them finished or in any color you want practically. limited to smaller generally hard to find parts not making panels quite yet...

Thank you for these!!! my right blinker has never shown up on the dash when signaling so hopefully can go through this and fix all of my electrical issues!!! If not back to the retrostat....

By interior lights i mean all the lights that light up the dash... have tried moving the retrostat back and forth and still no luck... All fuses were removed and checked. All taillights were removed and checked to see that all filaments were in tact ( i know some have 2..) Someone pulled up to me the other day and told me my tail lights were out, checked and all the right lights come on when breaking and signaling but nothing is on when headlights are on.... does this help narrow the issues down / are they related? I think with both of those going on it doesnt seem like a plug, maybe a short?

anyone have any tips to removing the retrostat in a 240z? was playing with it last week then i hit a bump and all of a sudden my interior lights were gone... want to pull it and see whats up but dont know where to begin... any advice would be appreciated

Vini bedini in ct really close to ny, tell him nick with the blue 240 sent you! he does amazing work, message me i can send pics if you want http://www.ctzcc.com/images/bedini.pdf

how bad would it be to leave the drain hose out of the instal? haha

yikes i think the person that mounted the evaporator in the car might not have considered that there was a drain and it might be sitting on it....grrrrr thank you for the pics! theyve been super helpful!

hmmmm is that the gen 2 mini? I think my unit looks a bit different but its been a couple weeks since ive seen the unit. would have never found that...

hey could you get that picture?

i can do flow analysis and would love to have a 3d scan of the head...
