That's not my motor, I used the image to show the fuel rail to a guy that was having "vapor lock" symptoms on his 240. It looks like a K & N that was engraved with Datsun to me. There's no telling where it came from or how old it is. The zstore or zcardepot could have sold it? You might find one on ebay. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. I can look around tomorrow when I'm home with my laptop. Cliff

Google has gone to crap recently. All the ads and pop-ups they used to block aren't blocked on my end anymore. I may try Fire Fox soon. The internet has gotten worse for me. I have better user end through my smartphone. Sad days, unfortunately for EVERYTHING. The Unabomber was right.

This is for Phillip, @240260280. I think about him every time I hear this song.

I have the 240 two wire type on my '77 as well as the '72 240. I like the stainless look best, no faded black wipers on my cars.

I believe he's taking about friction part thickness, how much meat they have left that can be cut smoothe to go next to the drum brake shoes. OE aluminum drums are hard to find that do not have broken fins.

When I bought my orange 240 it had a Jensen cassette radio. When I got it home and went through every nook and cranny I found the OE Hitachi under the driver's seat. Oh how happy that made me. Don't throw the metal thing away in these pictures if you have one. It holds the OE radio in place.

I bought a big Kobalt twin piston similar to your's. Left it on the pallet but put a rubber mat under the pallet to keep it in place. I didn't want to bolt it down. A couple of moisture traps and a brass drain off the bottom that empties into an old coffee container. Made sandblasting much easier. Also a small moisture trap with fittings to use right before the hvlp spray gun and the sandblast gun. Made things very much easier for me. I think @grannyknot has a small coolant condenser in line with his. One day I'll try and do that. Our humidity is horrible down here pretty much year round. Very nice pump you have there.

Researching water spot removal I imagine you came across some info for spots on paint. Anything that you liked from reading similar to the eraser gel? I have some water spots I can't get gone. Anyone else have a recommendation, possibly? Thanks

What about a local paint/body shop or auto paint store?

Beautiful cats, tell them I'm very sorry. I knew it was a mistake as soon as I hit submit. A lot of members have cats so apologies to all. It's a ping pong ball I think.

I had a cat hanging there but it started to smell.

I have these on mine. No issues, bought at local parts chain. Advance I believe... Trico 44-180

That road salt makes a good "dirty margarita" apparently. You all are a wee bit loony! Damned if I would take a picture of this mowing job. I can cut straight lines falling down drunk.

This is the easiest way I've found to get an idea if the floats are off. Small clear hose from hardware store is all you need.

Messing around with your Z, you have to... ...or you'll loose something important.

Sam the diesel man is no more on ebay but I googled the info and got these results... https://www.google.com/search?q=5-16-Check-Valve-Diesel-Gas-8mm-One-Way-Fuel-Flow-&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Would slightly slowing down the return cause the fuel to be cooler in the rail? I've wondered if it flows too fast it wouldn't cool down. My aluminum rail is sort of cool if you grab it but I've got one of those ceramic coated headers from MSA. Restrictor for the return line?

I've got that wheel and tire combo on my 240, 205/55 Hankook tires. I put the wide 5 speed out of a '79 ZX too. It's pretty accurate driving side by side with another car while talking back and forth on our phones. I have the r180 that's original to the car. Seems like I used the 4 speed speedo cog in the 5 speed transmission. I'll try and find that old thread where I asked about it later today. Those 15x7 fit perfect and look great. 16s rubbed in the fronts so they're on the 280.

I have these in mine. Cheap too. http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/shifterbushing/index.html

You all probably have seen this but maybe not? Go to the bottom to the "flow rate injector list" https://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/injectors/index.html There was a write up using Supra injectors long ago but I can't find it now.

That looks really good. Maybe a flat or matte clear spray would keep them looking good for a long time?

My '77's were not painted. The replacements I bought from rockauto.com are unpainted also.

You could try dropping the nozzle another round. Most people say that 2.5 is a base setting. That's where I started. Good luck. Added info you most likely know already. Setting Mixture 0. Warm up car 1. Screw both jets all the way up to the top 2. Screw the jets down 2.5 turns (default starting point) 3. Take the car for a run and listen closely for popping in the exhaust (rich), popping in the intake (lean) and note power 4. Screw both jets up or down 1/2 turn and take another run to see impact. 5. Repeat 3&4 and do 1/4 adjustments until you are happy 6. Take the car for a spirited 30min drive with plug wrench then while driving fast on a long stretch, hit clutch, kill motor then pull over to side of road, look at all plugs and compare colour. If there is a difference between the front 3 and rear 3 then the fuel jets need tweaking. Adjust the darker 3's carb by turning up the jet to lean the mixture a 1/4 turn If all plugs are too dark then turn both jets up 1/2 a turn. 7. Repeat 6 until you are happy. All plugs should be the same colour and very light brown. Listen for popping out the front to tell if you go too lean. Don't worry, you can take your time and do this leisurely over a couple of days to fine tune and colour match your plugs.
