Post #8 Waking the sleeping beast?

I anxiously await an answer for this question. I bought some kind of bastard N42 intake with the EGR mount and tunnel without the small holes into the runners nor the bigger plugged holes on the bottom side with the 10mm allen fitting. It was half webbed and I spent 2 days with a die grinder & Dremmel cutting that stuff out.

Squirt the crusty stuff with 50/50 Acetone and Automatic Transmission Fluid over and over for a couple of days. That concoction is the best homemade penetrating oil ever. Maybe then they won't snap off, if they do you'll be in deep dew dew (French words).

I believe it's Gorilla Tape.

I've had a lot of fun in Cartersville. One of my best friends had a Bar B Q restaurant across from Cracker Barrel right before I-75 back in '98 &'99, it was an old Pizza Hut building. He sold it and the new owner ran it into the ground, now we've got the pit and some other stuff at his restaurant here in town. Pruett's Bar B Q. Lot's of pretty Nurses in Cartersville back then and I'm sure they're even prettier now. I live 2 blocks from HWY 411 and could get to his apartment in a little over an hour. Welcome aboard, we're all in the same boat or Z car.

I like that she doesn't let her hair get in the way. :embarrass:

That's good, doing something right takes me forever. 3 months to rebuild my motor, 2 months of reading and collecting parts then 1 month putting them to use. I've got a '77 Z and the motors aren't any different so maybe I could help on the simple stuff. Theirs a way to check all your vacuum at once thanks to a member here, Fastwoman. Google "280z yogurt cup test" here it is Google That sounds like why it's dying out. Or maybe the fuel filter is clogged? Lots of possibilities, but just take your time you've got a year to get it right. Check out this page too, thanks to another member Blue. Tech Tips Keep reading!

Exactly!

Would that work in the opposite way? Girlfriends birthday is soon.

I worked on my Camry this morning, it's 12 years old, everything I touched cracked and crumbled. Now the fun part. I'm going for a drive in the 240, damn a 4 cyl.

That show Gas Monkey has me thinking of just a clear matte coat, they do a lot of that. My 280 has the original paint from '77 I think, what's left of it after fading, and plenty of patina from age. I would be happy with the protection until I can afford the repaint.

Boy oh boy that makes my day. Same problem here too and was on my short list, to do very soon. Mine starts "hopping" when I try to leave out easy from my driveway.

Dang them Doobie Brothers and they China Grove!

Does it come packed with clowns?

Should we be happy or sad? Cleaned up those wheels might fetch $200 per set. What size sneakers?

Good read Datsun L-series ZCAR engine modifications

Beautiful photos of your car! Sometime in the future I hope I can buff mine, now it just tears up the rags.

I like fuses.

My dog made something similar to that this morning.

Me too. Adding attachments now takes forever, they just won't show up in my File Upload Manager. I end up using the Basic Up Loader option.

Here's what I've come up with. Yeah it's a toilet flapper but it's new.

Glad you got it back running. You mentioned something about your mechanic doing some electrical tweaking, maybe he burnt it by accident. You might want to turn on everything else and make sure you have all your accessories, lights and wipers etc.

I knew I'd read this Tech Tip for the fan clutch but had trouble remembering the wording of the site, not atlanticz.com. 240z 260z 280z 280zx Datsun Fan Clutch Rebuild

That looks like a Napa fuel filter to me, isn't that what it says on the side? You may have blown a fuse for the fuel pump, hopefully that is, instead of burning it up. Can you straight wire 12 volts to the pump and listen for the whirling sound? or pull the out bound hose to the carbs and see if it flows fuel out into a jar or something. If it had plenty of gas in the tank I wouldn't think leaving the key on would burn it. My '72 has a mechanical pump on the front passenger's side of the valve cover. They don't have pumps in the tank.
