Zed lover Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I really like the tail lights! they give the car good clean lines and by looking at your pictures that is what your going for. I just bought a '77 my self and you are giving me great ideas. Great job looking forward to seeing it finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift00 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 thanks guy i really do appreciate everything that has been said about this car. the only bad thing i that i haven't been working on it in awhile, but i still I hope to have this thing paint by summer. Does anyone have any suggestions about what i should do, or would look "cool" on the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift00 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 I just mounted the new MSA performance after having it ceramic coated for $120.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift00 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 I took my fuel tank and had it powder coated, I think it looks pretty good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift00 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 So I have an 77' 280z with a N42 block, head, and intake manifold...Does this vacuum and emission lines look properly routed? Thanks, Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Looking good. Sorry can't help with line routing. They weren't afraid your fuel tank would explode or something? I had a really hard time finding someone to weld on a sump to mine. (gave up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift00 Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 No...they just made me wash it out a few times with water. I pretty sure that didn't help at all seeing how i could still smell gas, but whatever made them happy! I have a question, what is that thing inside the fuel tank? Whatever it is, do you think i ruined it during the powder coating process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Which thing are you referring to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shift00 Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 So, after three year in the making I finally crank the motor over!! It didn't start and I had to stop, because it's valentines day and i don't think that my wife would appreciate it if I was out there all night. however just the fact that it was cranking over made me really happy! It wouldn't start because the fuel pump wouldn't wind up. however i took it out and wired power and a ground to my battery and it worked. So i check the leads to the fuel pump and I have a power supply to the wire lead and a ground? What's the deal? Why won't it turn over with the stock wiring? Thanks guys, Joe.

Kevin.pk Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I'm not sure if it was in 77 or 78 that they made it so the fuel pump relay wouldn't kick the fuel pump on unless it sensed oil pressure as a safety feature. I know that was the case on the 78 because my relay was intermittent and I ended up putting a relay without it, in its place..... reminds me that I still need to redo some of that wiring. A search should be able to tell you what year specifically. edit: Actually.. if there are two yellow wires coming of the oil pressure sender then it should be the same as mine. I believe the earlier models only had one wire coming off of the sender going to the gauge. That engine bay is classy. Can't wait to see this car in paint.
