As am learning language... you ofcourse meant: Vicious wolf.. 😁 A viscous wolf would be a mess.. 😉

I'm a veZeran ?? Today i got that badge, what is a vezeran? Oh a Z-Veteran ! Aren't we all? Don't i get a badge for being on here every (!) day for the last few years!! ??? 🙊

here for lesss.... 😉 39,90! (euro) 2103-3510010 - Bremshilfe Bremskraftverstärker LADA NIVA 1600 & LADA (aet-autoteile.de) Thought about getting myself one but.. no.. it looks like it but is not original.. The outer diameter it says 18cm about 7 inches.. maybe the internal suction part is the 6 inches meaned by others..

All that "amazon" stuff is made with "switching" regulator.. the ingoing voltage is getting "shopped" into small peaces, It's a way of lowering voltage without a transformer.. i don't like them at all.. they say it's "durable"but they say that of everything these days.. to me it's cheap junk..🙊 I don't buy from Amazon... it's a "wrong" firm.. I like/support the small businesses on the corner more..

The price of those powersupply's are a bit laughable,ridiculous.. For that money i only had the transformer.. and in my own made one in the 1980's there are 2! transformers.. i bet these "new" supply's have none.. My selfbuild supply does 0-30 volt 0-10 amp. and... more important... it still works after these many years.. (only once needed a new IC. the Ua723 i believe..)

I do get a translation out of it! "spiegelbeeldig" i guess it's like mirror-image-like translated back to english.. haha 🙂 btw i had a look at dar5052 profile.. has not been on here since he posted the first post in this thread.. saw he's an apprentice.. yeah He has a lot to learn hihi 😉 As a service engineer in all kind of alarmsystems/electronics we often had apprentices/learners on the job.. We always sayd, yes, we have them there but they are to no use to you!! Hahaha.. oh well they have to learn it to.. One anecdote! Once we had a smart one.. 🙈 he was making an electrical wiring on a stone wall (Lots of drilling holes for studs/fasteners) but then, further along, the wall turned into a steel wall and.. he just continued with the concrete drill in the steel wall.. you can not believe how much noise that makes! 😂

Thats what i thought! i can't see any problem in your last topic about your 280z.. we let you do your thing.. helped where we could..

Nice rims for the z! (Advert saying 240sx !! 🙈 so he/she must be very knowledgeable about these cars..) I wanted to know if these rims are also left and right side like the original 300zxtt rims.. they have a patern that is different on the right but there was no pic of the righthandside..😟

Btw.. you do know that euro versions don't have those lumpy things on the bumper? It looks cleaner and saves weight! (and fuel!) We have original rubber caps filling up the holes in the bumper!

Sorry no new parts for the bumper(s) I have some old ones and do not know in what condition they are.. The bumperfillers i had i sold here to i believe he's called here Dadsun.. they were expensive parts.. (almost like new.)

On idle the pressure seen on the meter can be very low.. It's a known problem.. To be sure you can always look under the oil fillercap during idle, but look out.. the oil can jump out the opening a bit.. If the camshaft is oiling good the rest is also good.

I do have some but i don't think it's very economical to send those from euro to usa.. as there should be much more of them there... Have you googled for it? there are a lot of firms that have z parts..

I'm , as you know, also busy in the engineroom and i know that i many years ago also took out the tray out of the 240z. I didn't weld it back.. in stead i took a set of big steel selftapping screws. That way i can always take it out as it is a bit of a fragile spot!

Hey Cliff, "and NOT going completely" i asume? 🙂

Cleaning up the engineroom was my last task on the 280zx, and it's slowly taking place.. I'm rarely in the garage to work on it.. my gas heater is broken down and with these natural gas prices.. I'm busy with electric heaters.. And for the time i have no solar collectors.. thats also expensive..(High electric bill.) As energy prices overhere also exploded we are all in the race for those solar collectors! And YES also made in Holland is an option! So i'm more often seen behind my pc..pfff.. Also my energy level is a bit low these days.. So i looked up my 240z and 280zx op Hagerty's and it seems that the 280zx is following the 240z's lines.. (I restored my 280zx just in time it seems!! ) Datsun 240z 1971... Datsun 280zx.. Double the price in one year!! My 240z is not an "excellent" car but i have more than enough parts to make it that way already in storage for years.. I finally assembled the engine in October.. was to sick to do anything in November.. Here some pics of the result. Still hanging upside down.. Inlet plus injection.. underside Taking out the old broken bolts with a good heatup by welding it... it was a easy job! New bolts installed with some red (very tight) lock-tite. And some new self locking nuts. Assembled the under the hood light also.. At this time the engine is ready to go back into the engineroom, i have to clean that up first, paint the inner fenders and just give it a good clean for the rest of the parts, most are already done. As it is a daily driver it has a black anti rust bottom and i leave that as it is, also on the lower beams in the engineroom. (I took off a bit of it from a brakeline and... surprise surprise.. the olive green ORIGINAL Nissan brake line paint came out looking brand new!)

Or you can simply re-name this thread.. I know it's possible!

Yeah.. thats why "Made in China" is not getting into my house.. if i can help it. No matter the costs.. Like the Americans like theyre own, i want euro stuff haha..

Yeah.. but i think it's very sad that there are DeVILBISS guns that are completely fake.. they are a registrated trademark, can't they take those counterfeiters to court?

Yeah.. hadn't really thought about it.. btw How do they renew them? On a lathe and get all the steel out and put in a new steel liner? I can imagine they take most out, and weld the new one in on the edge and clean the edge by putting it in a lathe and make a nice edge? Heatshrinking could be a bit dangerous i think.. because these things can get very hot and the steel could come out the aluminium casing? Maybe a bit of both?

If i take a close look at the pics... ( of whiteheadperformance) there is a steel drum in the alu drum/casing? (they will last even longer?) So they are a remake? Years ago i bought a set from someone that had a Datsun original set used on.. i believe the car brand was TVR? He had only drilled the 4 boltholes a bit bigger and they fitted.. (I only have to fill it with some small rings to use it on a 240z again..) If all the cooling fins are decent they can be reman. by whitehead i think maybe they are interested in some cheap old drums..

A new dial front is nice but the counter is still in miles... or is there a gearset that changes this as well?? I never heard of this set..

I never had to weld it but i can imagine that i can weld it with my aluminium welding mig? (the right gas (Argon)) Just put in some stainless wire? Oh btw.. that clamp right behind your pre muffler .. give it a turn your scalp will be thankful 😉

Yeah, It did sound like something like that... at first i wanted to ask if you had the connectors on the battery attached haha... Glad you found the problem!

Hi, I don't think it's essential to connect the heater stuff.. but look into a serv.man www.xenonzcar.com and find out.. You must have forgotten a major connection as nothing works.. i once had a battery clamp on the battery but it did not make contact at all! it was connected but made no connection.. a tippical example of a small oxide layer on a battery connection that made everything powerless. Get yourself a multimeter and follow the signal 12v.. put your minus on the chassis and start with plus ON the battery pole.. the clamp.. the fusebox.. and and.. so on..

Ah... the Knob outside... No i don't think i have more then one. (like to keep it myself.sorry.)
