The zx cap is taller. IIRC

I know all about the emissions testing. What a PITA it is here. My Z has a Cat so this last time I put a new on to pass!

You really should replace the seals as well. If they aren't very flexible and on the soft side then you know what to do. Its just a good idea period.

Maybe he should install a fuel pressure gauge and observe it at full throttle. Just to rule out fuel flow. I had thought lack of advance timing but now I'm not sure that it would give the symptoms Senor Grizzly describes. I think some history on this car would be nice also. Did he just buy it, Has it sat for any length of time, Is it all stock except for egr delete and why did he delete it.

I use these and am happy. Installed them 3 yrs ago. http://www.ebay.com/itm/75-76-77-78-79-80-81-82-83-Datsun-280Z-Fuel-Injectors-FJ707-FJ3-/162473450992?fits=Model%3A280Z&hash=item25d42c1df0:m:mqP-kgYey2FHyrChcpHSIlg&vxp=mtr

It does actually. I was thinking more of idle. Clearly Senor Grizzly mentioned higher rpm's. Don't know why I went that direction. At what rpm's does the sputtering happen? Does it clear up as soon as you let off the throttle?

Maybe you're sucking air at one of your delete area's, like at the egr plate, etc? Spray some stater fluid at those spots, being careful, to see if you get a rpm spike. And then what ZH said, how was it running before the delete?

Interesting, good info guys!

You can install a washer or two under the knob to get it to line up. I had to do the same.

Exactly, I look at mine and know for a fact I'm looking at more $$ to restore my 77 than this 76 is selling for. If I had the money I would be tempted to buy it.

I agree with you Greg. It's, for the most part, in really good shape and should bring more than the asking price. JMO

Site, is that a new sending unit?

On my 77 I get the needle fluctuation. Especially during long wide turns on the freeway. Been like that since I bought the car. Doesn't move much. More so when it's about half a tank.

The Dizzy will only go in the way it came out so you are safe to pull it.

Ditto on the 280z reference.

I figured it was important. Just couldn't remember why. Good info, thanks.

You could put one of those filters everyone talks about between the tank and the fuel pump as added protection from the rust in the tank. I believe it's called the G-3 filter.

It's used to hold everything together. Kinda like the stuff used in racing pits.

They have the fusible links as well. The engine bay has that nice all original look to it. A little valve train noise is normal. As long as its not excessive you'll be fine.

How important is that baffle? I imagine Nissan had a good reason for it, no?

Motorsport has them for $7 and change. The fusible link cover.

Those actually look real good! You don't need to worry about those for awhile Jai. Now go drive some more and enjoy.

Don't have that issue but have you considered spraying it down with wd40? It's a water repellent. Thinking about it....I had the moisture issue where the harness connects to the tps. That's where I used the wd40. Not sure it'll work inside the tps.

Man I sure could use those headlight scoops!

Also correct according to my microfiche.
