ZCON 2015 Hookup
Thank you Jai. I'm having a blast. I need to clarify my speeding ticket, I was almost in Memphis and got a little too excited. Like a horse running to the barn.

ZCON 2015 Hookup
All this road construction makes a policemans dream. 67 in a 40 zone, welcome to Memphis. They can't get me down though, it's just turning daylight and I hear the Zs already revving up for a morning rip. It's HOT!

We're having a great time here in Memphis. Meeting my heroes and looking at Zs. I don't want this to end but it will after today. You guys are here in our conversations! Cliff

Just purchased this beautiful 1970 Datsun 240Z Series 1
I'm guessing you have those D hubcaps put up for safe keeping and running the slots. Beautiful cars you have, I've always wanted an NSX, especially after seeing Pulp Fiction. Harvey Keitel drove one as "the cleaner". The Wolf was what they called him, thanks google. Overkill is always better than not enough for me, I hate running out of beer. And I also would like to say Thank You for your service. Being away from the South and family has got to be tough.

Can we assume that's you on the right?

Zed, are you going to be there??? I sure hope so! I haven't heard you mention anything about it until now. Meeting you would make this trip that much better.

Swapping cams one engine to another
Bummer. Now you'll get to have some real fun, deciding what to use and what will work together. That was the hardest part for me, reading all the possibilities and making a final plan. It gets frustrating going around in circles trying to get the best bang for your bucks. Sorry to hear your troubles, you/we were excited about that ZX motor. It looked good though!

Come polish mine. You did a fantastic job, it reflects off the spark plugs.

What's all that red showing on the lobes? Reflection from a space heater? Curious.

Your a nice guy for helping, BUT that's 2 years old.

Swapping cams one engine to another
I've taken a look at three 2.4 heads I have, they don't have drilled cams, two E88s and an E31. The N47 had the first drilled cam in my experiences. If it's been reground it should have some information engraved in the end like who reground it and their profile number. I bet the previous owner took the spray bar off and installed a drilled A cam in your 2.4. Those spray bars scare me, they get loose where they're are brazed together and lose their "aim" to the lobes. Leak at the cam towers too if you don't keep the bolts tight and the gasket in between is just a thin piece of paper that falls loose. My opinion only. I'm running both the drilled cam and spray bar with a high flow turbo oil pump, if it ever gets put together.

Fuel Tank Problems
Here's some nice instructions on that clear filter, it's a must on these cars. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fuel/g3filter/index.htm Hey there ZCurves. Did you ever get your hot restart resolved? Hadn't seen too much of you on here lately, life gets in the way.

Well of course I was wrong, N47 shows to be an A cam. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/cam/index.htm

engine block, datsun blue/turquoise
Finally had a chance to take some pictures of my Duplicolor Old Ford Blue. I don't think it's very close to the original after spraying, it matches the cap fairly well though. Pontiac Blue will be next. Outside, no flash; LED shop light with flash; Fluorescent Shop light with flash;

Spark plugs then air filter. Mine averages about twenty mpg, dogging the s**t out of it. You should also check the bullet connectors from the coolant temp senor. Shine them up.
