Victor, what year did you replace? I'm thinking about doing this very same thing. Was it a simple plug-and-play install?

It's an easy job. Just disconnect the vacuum hose, electronics, and then the two bolts holding it in place down by the engine. I think they are 10 or 12mm bolts. You shouldn't have to mark it because the connection to the engine has an offset slot that makes it impossible to put it in backward. There is probably a gasket between the distributor and the mount-point on the engine, so, you might need to tap it from side-to-side to get it to break free.

And more...

These are great.

Just wondering what some of you consider your favorite part of the club site? I really like the random Zcars page. Every time I want a short burst of random Z's from our gallery, I just open that page and hit refresh every time I want more.

Salem isn't that far away....

Do the later 260z and 280z door seals fit the 240z? They are better design.

Ok, thanks for the explaination, Camo. I did get some feedback from the mailing list. Kmack sent this:

What do you mean one piece all the way around?

A long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away) I purchased a set of window & door seals from Performance Specalties. Since then I understand that they've greatly improved the kit. My main concern is the door seals. I've heard that the later-model door-seals have the metal clip part molded together with the rubber seal. The kit I have requires me to glue in the rubber piece and then snap the metal trim on top of it. WHAT A PAIN! Has anyone purchased a kit from Performance Specialties lately for an early-model Z ? Ie: 70 to 72 240z? And, does this kit come with the metal clip molded to the rubber seal? I understand that many shops are reselling the kits from PS, so, they might all be the same. I even hear that Nissan is selling the PS seals as their own now... Anyway, if you have made this purchase lately... speak up!! I'm about to make the purchase. But, I want the better seals. -- Mike

Guys, don't use this site to send information about somebody else. I deleted the post with his contact information.

I don't really like the look of the vents on earlier Z's.

I've got some sweet picts of UTE's with those huge roo-movin bumpers from my trip to Melbourne last year. The locals couldn't figure out why I was soo excited by that standard feature. Then again, I was also excited to see all the Cockys (Cockatoos) flying around in the wild.

I love Australians.

Guy, I don't see a Post button.. Are you clicking on New Reply?

I created a folder in the events area so we can keep all of these categorized. Cuong, I also added a link to your original message so people can find it. Thanks for the contribution, the picts are great. -- Mike

I looked at their site... Pretty sweet module. But, it is limited. We should put together something like that for our site. Writing down yet another cool module that would be 'nice' to have in the club.

Oil on the spark plugs is caused by oil getting into the cylinder. Simple.

BBALS, I can't let you post your stuff for sale unless you are a supporting vendor. Rules, if you are selling a product to make a profit, you are a vendor. If you are selling a product such as a used Z, parts, or otherwise not making profits on a regular basis... you can sell here as a regular member.

Or you could just go directly to the joke page: http://www.coxar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/

Good poll, Steve!!

It doesn't really work that way. Sort-of. If you had two small pipes vs one large pipe (without mufflers)... I don't know which configuration would be louder. But, most of your noise has to do with other factors on the system as well. The quality of muffler, the presence of headers, and if you have a mid-muffler all play important part in noise. On a system with 6-to-1 headers, a 2.5" diameter piping system, and a nice muffler.... I can tell you this is a little bit more "throaty" or louder than a 2.25" diameter system using the same components. Therefore, I think you could be louder OR quieter with a dual exhaust system depending on the headers, the diameter, and the type of muffler you use. You can make a 2.25" system plenty quiet and obtain the performance you want out of it.
