Intake manifold noise
I adjusted mine back to working proper. Seems like ccw brought the rpms down? But I am most likely 180 off.

1971 240z Refurbish in Denver
I would. Get the rear cap half way down and slide the side seals in. That's the easiest way I know of thanks to @Diseazd Buy Nissans too. I've got the p/n in a file at home I could give you tomorrow. $13 for the rear main but I can't rember the side seal price.

Abandoned, brand new, Vancouver, BC
The white M car has Brian Jessel dealership sticker on the trunk lid. Must be part of their pre-owned program?

Failed CO emissions - all controls removed - where to start?
Anxious to see what the OE fuel pressure regulator does. My set up is very similar to your's except for that. I've only read bad on the adjustable ones like the one your car. Maybe this will get you where you can pass smog check?

P79 head mod
Thanks Jeff! I have a "volume knob" fix on my CTS. Louder=more fuel. I can flood it out. 2 things to do this winter when it's too cold out. Oh wait. I forgot about the 99 other things I punted on this summer when it was too hot. I'm getting old.

Waterproofing a Fuse Block
Google "blues tech tips". I think it's under "electrical". Here it is... http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fusiblelinks/index.html Or maybe this? http://www.zcarcreations.com/howto/maxifuse.htm

P79 head mod
Good to know! Thank you. I've got an N42 combo, head and block with dished pistons and some F54 flat top pistons I could put in the N42 block. I was worried about running pump gas but after watching what you did I'm not too worried about swapping out the pistons. I have some later 240 rods I'd like to use. I've read they do something better than the L28s?

P79 head mod
I apologize for being lazy but are using the stock cam and EFI on your car? I'm wanting to pep up my 280 now after reading all you guys build threads. I've got the stuff and the car runs great but I'm bored...

P79 head mod
I rechecked mine after the initial "run in", about 150 miles of varying speeds to set the rings then again at 500 miles. Haven't touched them sense. I really need to do that soon too. Glad it all came together for you. Congratulations.

Replaced head on 280z and camshaft sprocket mount is different
I don't see the differnce? I'm sorry, talked too soon. Looks like the cams are of different lengths.

Picking up a 1977 280z 6 Hours Away. Tips?
I maybe confused you. Don't pound the plastic covers. The metal ones that go over the castle nut and bearings was what I did. I'm sorry for any confusion. I hope you didn't break the center caps?

L28 from 82 ZX teardown
But a set of brass core plugs and give them to the machinest. I used Sealed Power I think? This will keep you awake tonight... cylinder piston ring types have different honing/hatching recommendations. I bought chrome faced molly and it's different than steel. Something else to research. It never ends when you get bit by the Z.

I can send you the 2 bottom bolts and nuts that secure the dust cover to the bottom of the tranny pan. Let me know, I can get your address from Phillip.

Picking up a 1977 280z 6 Hours Away. Tips?
I tapped my grease caps with a rubber hammer pretty hard until those center caps stayed on. I read on here a few days ago somebody used 1/8" spacers on the front to let them fit without denting the grease caps like I did.
