    Im currently looking for another z. I broke a valve in my 280 and yes, it is injected. I was wondering how much these are worth? whats a good price for these? Im getting another because my battery tray area has rusted thru, i have damage on the rear quaters, and some one tried to pull out some off it and never finished it. If it wasnt for the battery tray rust or the quater pannel. i would keep it.

  7. i made my own box to fit right behind the seat. I made it to take as lilttle space as posible. I plan to run 2 8" diamond audio CM3 subs. These subs are really good. These subs can be use wit really small enclosures. My boxes are built wit an inner volume of i tink a little more than .27cubic inches of air volume after displacing the subwoofer. They sit snug right behind the seats. Still allowing u space to recline the seats and slide it bak some. Just wanted to share my setup.

    Thats exactly how i have the wires and rotor. I jus rechecked it, did some adjustments and its at the exact location. Im gettin spark and i smell a lot of fuel on the plugs. still wont start. the #1 cyl. cam lobes are both pointed up. Crank pully is at tdc and the camgears timing mark is jus right of the oblong groove. Wat can it be? If there were the wrong amount of links between to cam gear and the crank gear then the valve timing would be off, correct? So that would mean the cam gears timing mark would not be jus right of the oblong groove when the crank is at tdc. And that would also mean that the both cam lobes wouldnt be pointed up. am i correct? I'll have to take everything off and check the amount of chain links tomorrow if it doesnt start. The car started up after i reasembled everything. It idled fine, but ran rough. then i adjusted the cams again because when i checked, it was off. after that, it wouldnt start. Well, it started up for a quick second then jus died.

    thats exactly where i have the rotor pointing at tdc
  10. z_boi replied to z_boi's post in a topic in Help Me !!
    from driver side, its approximately between 9 and 10
  11. z_boi replied to z_boi's post in a topic in Help Me !!
    the wire is left of the clip, but its not at 8:00. I also have the rotor pointed in that direction when its at tdc.
  12. z_boi replied to z_boi's post in a topic in Help Me !!
    lookin at the front twards the back, the # one wire is at about between 6 and 7. lookin from the driver side twards the passenger, its about between 9 and 10. so this is wrong? when i said 8:00 it was jus thinkin from wat i remember. i just went outside to look at it, and this is wat i saw.
  13. z_boi replied to z_boi's post in a topic in Help Me !!
    thats how everything was when i last checked. where can i get the book?
  14. z_boi replied to z_boi's post in a topic in Help Me !!
    im lookin from driver side, not front of the car. If i were lookin from the front, it would be at 8 0'clock And now that i tink about it, its not a 9 o'clock from driver side, its at about 10 o'clock And yes, I've realized that chilton manuals suk! hahah
  15. z_boi replied to z_boi's post in a topic in Help Me !!
    the rotor is pointed a 9 o'clock from the driver side lined up wit the #1 wire. when the crank pully is at tdc, the #1 piston is at the top. The cam gear is placed in the second hole and the timing mark is right of the oblong grove as it should be. Both exhaust and intake lobes on #1 is pointed twards the top. It sound like it wants to start up, but jus doesnt. Could it be fuel? It started yesterday, idled fine but revved funny. It sounded like wrx. I didnt start it up this moring when i checked the cams and found it off. then after i corrected it, I tried to start it, it started up for a quick second, and jus died. after that, it jus wouldnt start.

    Ok, I tried to find out wat was rong today. Adjusted the cams again. Then it wouldnt start anymore. I check the dizzy, the rotor was in the rong place, i adjusted that, and still no luck. I really need help guys! anyone?

    Hey guys! I jus got everything bak together. My timing was off and b4 i never did ne ting to the motor b4 this. the couldnt be adjusted to the correct timing. Now its correct and idles fine. But when i test drove it. it sound like a wrx wit an aftermarket exhaust. It runs rough. I check the fire order, its fine, checked the wires , thats fine. The plugs were fine when i put it bak in. I checked the cam timing mark. and it seemed like it was in the correct place. Right of the oblong groove. Any body know wat i did rong? I had the crank at tdc 0 degrees when i put everything bak together.
  20. I have a R200 with 3.545 ratio. It came out of a 76 280z. I also have a mustash bar to go wit it. The rear cover has been removed so Im able to see the gears and they look to be in very good condition. It jus need a new gasket to seal it up again. Theres no signs of leaks anywhere on the diff that i noticed. I prefer a pick up or i can even deliver it. Im askin about $120 obo. If you think the price is to high, just make me an offer.

    i had a chiltons book. I didnt tell me anything like that. And when i took the gear off, i didnt notice there was a washer in front, so it fell down near the bottom, I think thats when i let off on the chain. Man!. This suks!I was able to hook the washer bak up, and now realize it was pointless because i have to pull the cover. Guess i gotta take everything off tomorro.
