Why are you changing fuel rails?

Anyone interested in relined Aluminum drums?
The Pontiac rims you are referring to are really odd ducks.VERY few Pontiacs had those rims.Only full size cars thru '68 got them and they were a special order..I wouldn't use that as a price comparison.

POR 15 overkill?
Yes,this is in the instructions,which if followed,the product is the best thing out there for rust. I've blasted trunk floors and then used POR & woven 'glass to seal the pin holes.

POR needs "tooth" to adhere.Putting it on over smooth surfaces wether it's paint or metal will result in it peeling off.

Barrett Jackson Scottsdale
BJ has done absolutely no good for our hobby.Also it has drawn only "speculators" to the car biz. On Saturday there is a all Datsun swap meet going on in Glendale from 7 to 3pm. And don't forget about Pavillions on Saturday night-biggest nite of the year.

Want to see your clean engine pic
- 280Z/ZX ECM tech
I have been having an intermittent issue with the 810 shutting off for no reason.Also,it would go full rich and not start on other occasions.I'm partially bald now,thanks to this issue. A tug on one of the wires entering the ECM would make the car start.So i went thru the connectors and all related stuff.STILL would shut off.At this point the wife is vacuuming hair out of the car on a daily basis. Then i got the idea to take the ECM apart.And i found bad solder joints.In the pics you can see a row of solder joints(Xacto blade is pointing to them)Three of them were bad.The blades run thru the side of the box and then make a 90 degree turn and "land"on a circuit board.WHen the joints failed,there was a"hole"with the pin in the middle-so a little tug would either make or break the circuit and shut the car off(or on).Adding to this is the fact that the ECM is on the drivers kick panel and would be also effected by the door slamming shut. End result is so far so good.And there has been a slight change in the way the car runs.Really hard to quantify it.But the best i can come up with is,it's "smoother".So more than one issue was rectified with the re-soldering.You will need a magnifying glass to see ANYTHING on the board.- No water circulation
Test the T-stat first on the kitchen stove.I had FOUR bad T-stats in a row.Three of them were Mr.Garbage ones and one was new from the dealer..- Best Z Barn Find
Hatch?You would have been lucky to find poeple in Hatch.- Winter conditions!
A cold front is moving thru-its 65 today.Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.- Z-Cars named to 25 Best Cars Ever List
Lines 2,3,6,7,8,9,11,12,13,14,15,,16,17,18,19,20,22,23,25 have no business being on any list.- New Z's show no love
[quote=Z CAR 77 No matter I'm gonna keep waving at anything with a Z on it's badge (including Z-28's). Why wave at a Camaro?- I have found a way to increase intake air flow
Ignoring physics always produces interesting results.Doesn't it?- Bouncing MPH?
In Tucson,you really need to step up to the 75/140 weight oil.As for the speedo.Take the cable out and douche out the cable housing with brake cleaner then let it dry.Merles sells a speedo cable lubricant.- Would like your opinion
I use 20/50 and a Wix filter.I wouldn't use a FRAM filter on Charles Mansons lawnmower.Here in Tucson,10/30 or 10/40 is too thin.- Mystery of the shattered hatch glass...
Wait a day and ask them again.And however you phrase the question,DON'T phrase it so they can give you one word answers(ie:yes or no)- L28 has a Intake popping noise
Run the valves first.- Tucson area parts yards
Beep-Beep is the only yard with Datsun stuff.But it's not self-serve.- 1977 Datsun 280z with 454 Chevy Engine - $18000
Looks to me that you couldn't duplicate that car for 18,000.So if you're looking to go fast,straight.......- smog question
Headers will pass smog as long as they don't interfere with smog equipment. - 280Z/ZX ECM tech
