Any serious recomendation on purchasing this gear reduction starter motor advertised by California datsun as an upgrade to my stock hitachi starter? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Z-240Z-280ZX-510-Engine-Motor-Heavy-Duty-Gear-Reduction-Starter/154002911984?_mwBanner=1&ul_ref=https%3A%2F%2Frover.ebay.com%2Frover%2F0%2Fe11051.m43.l1123%2F7%3Feuid%3D14f8425eb7de40f581ef87fd444c1f01%26bu%3D43001594571%26segname%3D11051%26crd%3D20200921070605%26osub%3D-1~1%26ch%3Dosgood%26loc%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F154002911984%26sojTags%3Dbu%3Dbu%2Cch%3Dch%2Csegname%3Dsegname%2Ccrd%3Dcrd%2Curl%3Dloc%2Cosub%3Dosub%26srcrot%3De11051.m43.l1123%26rvr_id%3D0%26rvr_ts%3Db10cf99b1740a4d72486eb76fff86d9a&ul_noapp=true&pageci=342241d2-c9dc-4b29-865f-ba44da07b35b Is it a bolt in upgrade? Any required mod? Any cons? I would like to spend over us200 if it does not fit or work with my car. My car is a 1972 240z with a 5 speed tranny from a 280z. I am also including pictures of my damaged starter. Already spent 80usd trying to fix this piece of junk!

16711 wont work?

So the part number should be 16203?

so no other 45 to 90 bucks options?

So the one im offered will not fit and work on my 1972 240z?? I want a new one! It has the same amount of teeth.

All i see are reman starters. Will this one work for my 1972 240z with manual 5 speed tranny? Code numbwe 16711-N. Shop wants 130 usd plus 7 per cent tax.

Too expensive. Price range 45 to 80 bucks! Anyone?

After several attemps of rebuilding my starter motor i figure out it was better to purchase a new one. Which one would you recommend? I can source the one in the first picture locally. The other ones by internet. Please give me your feedback.

Thanks. Definitely not the bolt i have.

Datsun 240z

Just finished charging battery and while fastening the screw of the battery upper frame i noticed it keeps turning and not tightening the frame to the body. Am i missing a washer here?

I read stories on advancing the timing. Im already at 14 degrees

Im using atf at the moment. I need faster pickup at fist gear from launch after releasing the clutch!

Which brand and grade? aNd

Well i tested the car yesterday but due to some traffic restrictions i just drove around some blocks between 1st and 2nd Gear. No misfire whatsoeve only some deceleration backfire. I do notice that the car is taking 5 to 8 minutes to warm up and launching from 1st speed still sluggish. Anyway of getting a faster acceleration response when lifting the clutch?

Should this modified engine use bp5es?

I purchased it modified and swapped the cam wity a schneider 274f camshaft.

I.have a new set of bp5es. What will i achieve with that? Wouldnt using such plug value damage the engine?

Last compression test results

I have new wires, new rotor, new cap. I just replaced all those plugs with new ones and do experience change in idle in plug 4. I had this problem previously and with some hard acceleration i could clean that plug to make it go away.

Site, I tested the car today and drives better. But experienced some misfire after 4500 rpms. I had to increase the fuel mixture turns from 3 to 3.5 to get more power as the car lacks response when accelerating from red light. I took pics of the plugs and will test again with new plugs on saturday. Plug 4 is the darkest one.

These are the pictures of my 1972 240z distributor i would like to clean.

I have a spare single point distributor and would like to clean it inside. Any recommendations or tutorial to get this done?

How do you check this relay to verify its still good?

Here is the rear carb. I.dont think this one needs further bending. I even measured it with a 14mm bolt.
