Did you loosen the 6 screws at the top of the dash finisher - place the dash cover in the groove so it seats correctly?

Jeff - Left you a PM........

One of my projects for next year is to rework my glove box entertainment system to include a custom faceplate that houses the oxygen sensor and also be the faceplate for the remote radio. I do have my original radio where it should be and currently have a remote system in the glovebox that I am not overly excited about. That way I can have a location for the oxygen sensor dial and music dials.

1 to 10 psi should be fine if you have your fuel pressure regulator set - mine is below for reference if needed.

Great topic -I'm watching this one! Somebody has some pic's of what they have done with a success story to share I'm sure. Simple instructions, great ideas and we are good to go.........!

Our high this Saturday is forecasted to be 46 degree's and a little snow blowing in the late afternoon I'm really fired up to get the car(bs) out and let them SING!!

Jeff - I believe Bruce would know exactly what to set that pressure at - my Mikuni's are set at 3.5 psi. Pressure regulator is a must in my opinion. Best of luck. Let us know on that dyno once you get it finalized.

Jeff- Remember that you will need a block off plate for that mech fuel pump - they are still out there if you order one from your local Nissan dealer. Once you get your dyno numbers let me know what they are and let me know the type of dyno your car is getting dyno'd on. I just had mine dyno'd earlier this month - not any crazy numbers due to not jazzing up my cam to a higher stage number but all is good. I've got all the power and torque I could want for my needs. Sounds like your fuel delivery system is going to be great - be sure to get your best filter closest to the tank! i did put an in-expensive glass one between the fuel pressure regulator and the fuel rail. My fuel pressure gauge is in my engine bay - be careful where you mount that since you do have live fuel running through it. Safety fire extinguishers are a must for any racer at any level - IMO

Jeff - When I purchased my head from Dave Rebello (along with engine rebuild parts and pieces) he instructed me to set my timing with high RPM @ 3500 - you may want to do that just to get all you can get out of your timing advance - I'm sure if you do a search you would get a lot of info and benefits from the different settings - it's all going to depend on your engine - cam - and head for your final setting though.

Just as important as the pump is the fuel pressure regulator - you really need to control that fuel flow! Get Bruce's idea on what PSI should be ran for your application with your engine set up and racing requirements - he would know the best! Most of all - keep that fire extinguisher handy for your first race!

Those Rag-Top Patrol's look great - put a safari bar on top and your good to go!

Carter Fuel Pump Holley 12-804 Fuel Regulator Holley 162-551 Fuel Filter

Just my two cents worth: 100 micron filter coming out of the tank (or stronger for racing - one the size of an oil filter would be best) to Electric fuel pump to Fuel Pressure regulator to 20 micron fuel filter to fuel line. Sounds like a pressure of fuel supply could be running short with the mech pump - I belive I have read that the mech pump can only supply 2.5 lbs of pressure. Sounds like you need a little more - keep us posted. What pressure setting do you have on your electric fuel pump? - I would take it to at least 3.5 to 4 psi and give that a shot (monitor your carbs while you are reviewing - I would hate for your to force out fuel of your SU's on to your hot header - fire safety equipment is a must at this point!

Very well said and I agree totally on each owners choices in their own cars. Unless you are wanting a 100% original car (which is just not practical in today's world and there are not many left that have not rusted out entirely) make your car the way you want to enjoy it. As I say - "life's a journey - enjoy the ride"!

Looks like this project is in the green - what a great thread (can't believe I have not followed it or seen it until now!). Best of luck with your sale!

Without spending massive money on major engine work - in the $10,000 range and beyond - you will not be able to generate the kind of horsepower that you are looking for unless you are Dave Rebello and have the talent and knowledge to make it happen. What is all the need for 1/4 mile performance? - are you only concerned in going straight real fast - if you are then you are looking into the wrong car, unless money is no object or you want to take the cheap route and drop a v-8 in the engine bay. In that case you just lost the entire concept for the 240Z intrigue and originality. To each their own though!

This is a good option for you - these folks did my header a couple of years ago in Greensboro NC - they have a few different locations. Pictures are in my "garage". http://jet-hot.com/

Great looking line up! Welcome and looking forward to your posts and comments.

Odd's are you can order a rebuilt brake booster from NAPA or one of the other major supplies. I doubt they would have one of those on their shelves - they will have to order it from a warehouse if they have a rebuilt one at all...........best of luck. Personally I would refrain from driving with no power assist or the risk of loosing your power assist!

Fantastic - how do those seats sit? Great decisions all the way around!

Welcome to the site!

Get some pic's up when you get her all figured out - the parking lights look like 260 or 280 - a little confusing / I see SU's - do you know the production date?

Get ready for a great ride - and, don't worry - the "to do list" will never end once it begins!!

Josh - Best of you luck on your Z quest!
