Just installed a coolant reservoir tank to my champion 3 row radiator. It´s working better now. Anyway, the car is still presenting some sluggish acceleration when stuck on a 5 to 10 mins short traffic. As advised previously my car engine is modified to 2.6 with oversized pistons and i was wondering if using a hotter plug such as NGK BP5ES will solve the problem when coming out of idle in order to obtain a smooth acceleration or this has nothing to do at all?

From what i understand in my searches, the thread for the valve cover breather is a bilok 1/2 NPT. Does anyone know where to source fittings for this? I'm looking to obtain a right-angle to 8AN fitting. Thanks!

While putting together my motor I'm trying to use the original factory finish for engine parts and fasteners. The following thread is great and covers most everything, but doesn't include all the bolts and plating types. For instance, what color is the timing marker? Has this info been consolidated somewhere? Pictures help, but nothing beats a list. Also, for the natural aluminum finish, what are folks using to preserve it? Or maybe nothing? Thanks, Ken

First off, forgive me if this should have gone in the Parts Swapping forum, but since I'm looking for Datsun parts info I think this is a better place... I am doing the Subaru swap, and while I totally understand what my options are with the axles, I'm less clear on what I want to do with the input end. The Subaru propeller/drive shaft companion flange is different from the Datsun one. No surprise given the 41-year gap between their manufacture. What IS surprising is the sheer number of Datsun companion flanges that were used with just three differentials (r160, r180, & r200). My first question is this: does anyone know if any of the other companion flanges will…

EDIT: This is reference, but I don't believe it's the clutch. More likely a fuel pressure or delivery issue. Maybe in the carbs as well. Everything replaced and carbs rebuilt, so its pretty surprising to have this kind of issue. Need to get a fuel pressure tester... --------------------------------- Something strange happened today that was new. After driving to work in the morning and things feeling pretty normal. It wasn't an aggressive drive at all. On the way home there was a lack of power transfer at certain RPMs/torque range. I first noticed it going up a hill, the car seemed to be struggling to have the power to push up it. It originally felt like it w…

There is a young guy in the next town over from me and he has started the restoration of a 1971 240Z, the car came with an L28 in it with this pulley, I've never seen one like it but I have limited knowledge of the 280z series. It is the disk on the back I have never seen before.

Hey everyone, when I bought my 240Z it came with a damaged R200 LSD 4.11. I'm running on a spare 3.90 now, but I recently decided to repair the 4.11. This has turned into a major headache as I can't seem to find parts diagram for the 4.11, much less the parts. It looks like it was recently overhauled, too. The gears look new, the cluch packs look pretty good, but the bearings are shot and there are some missing washers on the pinion gears (I think this is what they're called...they're 4 gears that transfer the torque to the axles). So...no wonder it rattled and clunked and made very bad noises. Does anyone know about this rear end? The case says, "38311 P9000". The clos…

I just installed the pertronix ingnition kit and blaster coil 3ohm. I didnt remove the distributor off the engine so the timing is the same. The car ran fine before, carbs were tuned, cap rotor, wires, plugs all good. The car seems to start up real well and idle good. Seems to have more power. Two issues tho. The tac now seems to drop at around 3k to zero and back up when im giving it alot of gas The car had a backfire through one of the carbs at 4krpm or so. I didnt have any of these issues before the installation, Im just wondering if someone can point me into the right direction to see what I can do. Thanks!
