    Do you think a locksmith can do this even with different keys? the only lock that Works perfectly in my car is the trunk lock. The igntion and the doors are worn. I did purchased a new ignition lock and key and the 2 locks and keys for left and right doors. Ho do i unify all the locks to open with the same key?? Is this posible??Key are different!

    Will i need a 280z FICD for a 1972 240z? Trying to get one to compensate the load! I will be using the VIntage Air GEN II MINI KIT and Sanden 508 compressor

    I still dont know what was the former owner thinking on throwing a 16 GA cable from the negative pole through the firewall and patching the cable with electric tape when it was closer and easier to ground it to a bolt in the steering column!

    What about grounding the black wire to a bolt in the steering Wheel?? I found out the former owner threw a wire from the negative pole of the battery through the firewall and tied it up with electrical tape to the black wire of the electronic flasher relay. I dont think there was a need to do that when you could ground at the bolt of the steering Wheel. Anyone has a different view?

    Any pictures of a neat job for both flashers? One under the steering column and one under the passengers glove box (Hazard switch relay)

    Just bought 2 EF32RL electronic flashers at amazon. Which is the neatest and safest way of installing the one for the turn signal lights and the one for the hazard switch? Both of the flashers have 2 prongs and one black wire. Please advise. Any pictures?

    Someone has recommended getting a 280z solenoid valve due to the fact it avoids stalling and mantains de RPM when the compressor is engaged? Is this the same as a Fast Idle Actuator? Still confused where to get this part and how is it installed?
  11. Johnny wick
    Which is the part i need to get to raise the idle when installing Vintage Gen II mini evaporator and sanden 508 compressor? I read its the servo diaphgram! Is it the same as a Fast Idle Actuator on 280zs? My car is a 1972 240z. The Throttle opener control valve is still on top of the balance tube even though it does not work! Should i also remove it? This is the last part i need to source in order to install my AC System! Just need to go in the right direction!
  12. Johnny wick
    Okay the compressor issue is solved! Its the correct one!! Now back to the servo diaphgram! Should i try and get the stock one or is there any better option as an upgrade!!
  13. Johnny wick
    Well i see people here have different opinions on the correct part to get my AC running perfectly on my 1972 240z? I thought that with installing a working servo diaphgram on top of the balance tube would work fine. But if it will give me hassles then i follow the right advice. Cant stand the heat inside the car and really need to have the AC installed. In addition to that nobody can tell me if this bracket will work as a perfect bolt in with a Sander 508 compressor: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sanyko-AC-Compressor-Install-Bracket-For-For-71-74-Nissan-Datsun-240z-9-6011-/400934074298?fits=Make%3ANissan%7CModel%3A240Z&hash=item5d598877ba&vxp=mtr I wrote an email to the seller and he does not know if it will work with a Sanden 508 compressor.
  14. Johnny wick
    Quite expensive indeed US$150??????
  15. Johnny wick
    What kind of servo diaphgram and control valve will i need to get to raise the idle when i turn the AC on the car? Still looking for a bracket that can hold a Sanden 508 Compressor. I have everything else, but need to get these parts before taking the car to the shop!!
  16. Johnny wick
    Just contacted Courtessy Nissan and they say the are out of stock! Anyone has any clues of where to find these 3 seals or should i just purchase the above mentioned kn filter and forget about the seals? Will this provide the same effect?
  17. Johnny wick
    I tried to order one but they are gone!!!! Where can i get one?? I am having problems with my choke cable and this will definitely be the solution.
  18. Johnny wick
    OK, thanks Beermanpete!!! Im sure enjoying! Now i can move forward and install the Gen II Mini Vintage Air evaporator and Sanden 508 compressor. I am still looking for the compressor bracket that bolts in the 4 holes but nobody seems to know which one will fit perfectly to that compressor!
  19. Johnny wick
    I have removed all the emission parts that go on top of the balance tube including the vacuum control valve which has something to do with when cruising down from altitudes and the servo diaphgram. Hence, i need to know which part will i need to have my Air Conditioner kit running and how should it be connected to the carbs linkage?
  20. Johnny wick
    So now that i am ready to install my AC in my car, i would like to know which is the most efficient fast idle actuator / servo diaphgram i can install and connect to the balance tube? I wouldnt like to take the car to the AC shop and find out im still missing other parts that control the fast idle when the AC is on!!
  21. Johnny wick
    Its indeed fixed! Im just curious and want to know how many turns he gave to both idle mixture knobs to set it perfectly!
  22. Johnny wick
    Thanks for the follow up Friends. I decided to purchased all the vacuum related braided hoses and took the car to a Porsche Carburetor type car mechanic here in Panama. He took 2 weeks to tune the car and replaced all the braided hoses. The hesitation and stumbling is gone. Did notice that while the car is parked for more than 5 minutes the idle lowers from 950 to 800 and rises back. I guess this is normal in this type of cars. It does not shut down. Anyway i asked him if it was an electrical problem or if the dizzy needed replacement and he said no. He tuned both carbs by ear and now i dont know how many turns he gave to the idle mixture knobs? to determine how many turns he gave should i take the carb domes and pistons out and start turning counternclockwise until it closes fully, write it down and then clockwise where he left them?

    Anyone has a complete ignition, doors and trunk locks and keys set. Mine are worn and would like to buy a restored set to use with the same key for all locks.
  24. Johnny wick
    I have read excellent reviews on Vintage Rubber but due to my urgent need of getting the car ready for paint, i am looking for another high quality and fit supplier. Should i settle for black dragon? I read that Z man of Washington is also good! But cant manage to get him answer my emails.
  25. Johnny wick
    Called them again this morning and nobody answers!! Is this the only option for highest quality long lasting and perfect fit weatherstrip??
