Hey Blue,

4.11 revved too high. Like an 18 wheeler; was in 3rd before I cleared an intersection. The LSD is an added perk to be sure, but a lower mileage differential was attractive as well.

I have gears, and it still pulls strong. Yes, slight edge gone but not missed.

What ended up being the issue with the brakes?

I would like to know how the brake issue was resolved as well.

Guessing the 240 booster. Maybe went with the ZX booster?

Does the 73 240Z have a larger booster ? Mine has a larger booster to and brakes very good/strong. The seller said it was from a 240Z but could it be a ZX ? I know the mounting holes didn't line up, I had to largen them a bit.

I have the Toyota front caliper "upgrade" on my Z (with everything else still stock) and my car stops on a dime with it so I'd have to disagree with those who say it's not better than stock.

Quick update:

 

Fuel tank: Dropped the fuel tank and brought it over to Loopers in Rockville, MD to get the Gas Tank Renu process done. Getting rather tired of stopping to clean the in-line fuel filter, although I would have never seen this guy had I not been forced to stop a few months back:

 

 

Brakes: The issue was, well, a combination of things. I suspect I had the wrong booster and MC. I apologize, I know how frustrating it is to start trying to diagnose an issue and have a forum post come up short. I should have dropped an update back then. 

 

Tach: Still no tach. MSD #$%#$&...  Anyone in the DC area who knows their way around this sort of thing will be paid well in beer or food for their services. 

 

Windows: Still looking for good window regulators. Are these still available through Nissan? My P/N searches come up short. What do the rest of you do when the window regulators are bent and the windows won't roll? Bend them back? Splurge on the $300+ replacements? Fortunately I have a garage... 

Beautiful car.

Thanks for the update...

Got the tank back. Looks great. Bolted it up today and MAN does it feel great to not worry about your filters clogging.

 

For anyone interested: Looper's Service Center, in Rockville, MD:

The owner, Glen, remarked that Mike from Bansai has been taking his tanks there for years. 

 

 

 

 

Is this still available
