    WTB: fuel dampener

    in Parts Wanted

    Posted

    Looking for one for a 280z I'm sure they are all the same though, mine was leaking so I deleted it, but hate the increased fuel vibration noise in the cabin. In located in 92683 ca for shipping purposes, thanks!

    Fuel pressure regulator question

    I see, good to know its not just me, well I know it's supposed to hold because my stock fpr will intermittently hold pressure sometimes and will be 20psi for a couple of days, before it completely went out ,but I can't get any of these aftermarket ones to hold for even an hour, which I found to be weird. I need to fix it because I want to see if this helps my heat soak issues once resolved.

    Fuel pressure regulator question

    Car is 77 280z

     

    So I've been looking into why my fuel pressure drops to 0 after shut down relatively fast from almost instantly to about 30 minuets. After some testing I found that sometimes the stock fpr was stuck open and let the gas bypass into the return and sometimes it would drip slowly taking a bit longer, but ultimately to 0.

     

    So I have tried two stock replacements one from autozone and one from Napa, they both let the gas bleed through after shutdown, I know because I removed the return line and used a clear line for the testing, I would prime the fuel pump to build pressure and it will go to 0 in about 15 minuets and I can see the line with gas in it.

     

    My question is, are the aftermarket stock replacement ones not supposed to hold pressure at least overnight?

     

    My cold start injector and injectors do not leak I have pulled them to observe during the leak down, my fuel pump is new and I have an inline check valve. Thanks!

     

    Other than that it runs great, about 30 idle, 40with th vac unplugged.

    Normal for replacement Tie rod ends?

    Greetings just,

     

    I just got a new set of replacement tie rod ends for a 77 280 from rock auto, when they arrived I measured them against the old ones and they are the same measurements, but the problem is that the one that matches the left one will only fit on the right side and one that matches the right one will only fit on the left. Is that normal or should I send them back? Thanks

    What year thermostat housing will fit a 77 280z

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

    So Ive been looking for one but they're are hard to come by. I've read some articles that say all year 280z should be the same with the exception do the sensors, and that I can use one from a 280zx? So I received one and I'm not sure what year it's from but it has 3 bolts instead of two which is fine, but the coolant passage into the block is smaller, will it still work? The original one is the left one. Thanks
