  1. Thank you, can you also let me know the numbers on the diode.
  2. Help! I can't afford a $130 relay at the moment as I'm currently in college and trying to get my girl on the road to move to Oregon with me. I have a 240z with an L28 and 4 screw carbs, just couldn't get them to function properly so decided to swap the engine back to fuel injected. I bought a "complete" kit from someone off craigslist, the harness had wires cut and was missing a larger return line, ballast resistors and the fuel injection relay. Purchased the resistors, studied the sh*t out of the wiring diagram, more than I study for my classes (mechanical engineering btw) repaired the harness although I do need to buy a harness repair kit because the connectors are crap. But here is my problem, I hope the pictures work, coming from the air flow meter pump contacts there is a resistor, can anyone tell me what resistor I need.
  3. My first car at 17 was a 1997 Camaro (v6 5 speed) I wrecked it on rainy after noon on my 2.5 mile drive home from school trying to drift a few corners. The car sat in my driveway and I have to get a part time job to save up and fix the car, this is where I got my first bit of automotive experience, I got a part time job after school at a repair shop, learned a few things, save up in the meantime I was tearing down the front end of the camaro taking parts off ( where I afterwards learned to label and take note of each bolt because the put back together was agonizing) getting it ready to take to the shop to have the frame pulled straight, fast forward 6 months and a birthday I had the camaro up and running, I got a full time summer job with the construction company I worked for previous summers to buy the camaro. One job we were rebuilding a redwood deck for an older gentleman who was recovering from a life threatening car accident he had been in and spent months in the hospital. he had 2 cars under covers on was obviously wrecked terribly, however I was hesitant to ask as I knew it was a traumatic experience, however it was killing me to know what he had. after a couple weeks we got to talking one lunch and he told me it was a 1972 240z he had rebuilt and a women had fallen asleep coming around a blind corner in his lane and smashed him, we all know the superb safety features of the Z *sarcasm*. I had no idea what a Datsun was and he showed me his wrecked car, I couldn't believe he survived, he also showed me his parts car, a red 1972 240z, that was sitting for what he said was a year, and not currently running, I figure it also sat long before he got it. We ended up working out a deal where I would go to his house on the weekends and work off $1000 at $12/hr (what I was making at construction company) and I could have the car (83 hours of work), I went to his house religiously on weekend and worked mostly 5 hours days some full 8 hour days, while also working on the car when I was done for the day, finally got it to start up and run after what felt like a year, only really about a month. even thought I was only about half way through my hours he signed the title over and let me take the car home. I was so excited on a rainy day in the mountains with dim headlights, no wipers, and no defroster, I followed a friend home that brought me to get the car, I work another 20 hours for him and got caught up with life and never finished the work, I since moved away to college and am going home for spring break in a couple of weeks, just got my tax return, and am going to his house to pay him the rest of what I owe him. I am now 20 years old turning 21 and having my 3 year anniversary with the car in June/ July.
  4. Sorry got busy for last 2 weeks, its a 1975 set up, I was looking at the diagram and drew it up and saw its two separate relays inside one. I'm at work so don't have the diagram I drew, Ill come back and post tonight to make sure its correct. What amp relays would I need?
  5. I bought an almost complete EFI setup to swap into my 240z. But haven't been able to find the main efi relay. I have a complete carb set up that I just couldn't dial in. Possible partial trade?
