Oeps.. It's not a modern petrol car.. nor a diesel.. It sprays 2 times per cycle (of 2 rotations) into the intake manifold!

I've got a 4 post lift, an overhauld one from a spanish brand Istobal.. 3 or 3,5 tons. I prefer a 4 post because it's better for the older cars.. you don't break those flooredges.. I can't think of things i could not do on a 4 post? tell us what it is please.. ( working on an axle you can put that axle on a stand and the lift becomes a workbench for al your tools i would realy miss that with a 2 post lift.. also a 4 post is MUCH more stable!) My 4 post is most of the time a place to store my other car! Now i drive the car that is under it and comes summer/winter i change then! (summer car on summer and winter car on winter tires!) Also, if your a bike guy (like me) you can put a bike on a 4 post... on a 2 post.. not so easy..

no. If inj.#6 works thats fine. Now you say #6 compression is 90 going to 45 psi..thats the problem.. smells like stuck valves..

Q1 - Yes.. non turbo has D6K7-02 OR D6K7-04 OR D6K8-02 And turbo has D8K81-07 According to my serv.manuals.. Q2 - If your CR is 130 Psi on all cylinders thats OK. You could exchange injector one of 1-5 and 6.. the problem is now in cylinder 1-5 ?? then the new injector is faulty.. get a new one. (i understand your sparkplug is, as the cable to cyl. 6 good/new..?) As i sayd before the new part can be dead.. it happens. You better test the injector with a small ordinary 9v battery.. with a 12v battery you could burnout the coil of the injector very easely.. the 9v bat can deliver just enough power to let the injector open.. maybe the new injector you put in cyl.6 is stuck.. put it overnight in a cleaner solution like injectorcleaner stuff.. maybe that helps..

So the new one is also a defect one? change pos 5 and 6 injectors, now the problem is inj cil.5? you have a new dead injector.. I took a good look in my electr. inj. book i got for the L28 and the injectors have 6 different lines from the controlunit, so it appears to have different timing on them when to inject.. on the other hand.. how does the electronic controlunit KNOW when to inject? Answer.. (out of my serv.man. EFI) The injectors are fired twice during a complete cycle of the 4 cycle engine! It does not know where exact and it does not need to know.. every cylinder sucks it's part in when it needs fuel/air mixture. So EFI does fire the injectors at the same time and in 2 steps.. There is an air/fuel mist all the time in the intakemanifold..

It would not be the first time.. check,check double check.. As sayd.. do a compressiontest. Also i would look for a airleak.. that can do strange things to a engine. Did you know that these injectors all 6.. fire at the same time each time? Long ago i thought they fire just before the intake opens but that seems not the case.. I hope i'm right if not please chip in!!

YUP !! Works for edge TO! Thanks!

The plating did'nt fail on my 280zx plate.. It's the same plate for 280z - 280zx then.. As it's a daily driver this was good enough for mine.. (If i had preped it a bit (sanded) it would have come out perfect.

As i'm tall i used 4 (2x2) from those big plastix nuts there are used under the seat, to lift the front up.. if you then put the seat in the front position it's also easier to do the rear nuts. i used a flat ratcheting wrench.

I use microsoft edge.. on the left almost nothing works Carl.. fwiw

14 ??? i'm selling the 0,4 of my 1,4 240z cars! I would sell 12 of them.. and buy completly something else for it! 14 of the same does nothing to me.. Buy from each z or zx type one much more fun than 14 of the same.. !!! 👍

I'm not at all!! If i needed a 240z i like this one.. As i have several drivelines from engine to diff and stuff.. no problem to bid 10 grand for a almost rustfree car! Yesterday i sold a original NISSAN frontwindow rubber in it's orig. plastic bag for 450 euro.. It layed 20 years in my cellar and was like new.. still.. This is stuff people really WANT!

Totally agree. I don't know where the car was stored in. but if it's in a moist envirement i think you better get new oil every year. if it's in a very dry storage and not runs for a long time a 10 year period would not be a problem.. the oil stays clean like it would in a canister.. i think.... I run my 300zxtt onlt a few months a year and use synthetic oil every 2 years, (regardless of the milage (or few km in my case)) it's stored in a heated garage so i think thats safe.

I'm sorry if mentioned before (i did not read the whole story..) But.. what is a 350 miles car doing with a FRAM oil filter, that was'nt standard on a new delivered car in the '70's or was it? FRAM was'nt used by nissan??? and a first 1000km or 600 miles (or so) check was'nt performed either so i ask myself where does the FRAM come from..?? FRAM is a ... i've been told.... a useless filter with paper in them that after some time starts to disolve and gets into your engine.. or is it old news very old news?

And now everybody is looking if his/her L24 spare engine serialnumber is : 023269 😁

FWIW.. i never experienced a autoplay commercial here.. i do get a adv. under in the screen almost every time i go to another thread or other part of the forum... very anoying...👎

Many years ago I HAD THE SAME... I knew the engine ran fine with it and only one spring.. so i left it that way and ... till today it's running with one spring. 1971 feb. 240z. I often wondered could it be that it runs better with just one spring? Never experimented with it..

They think they are.. Years ago i was looking youtube on my big screen and high end stereo.. A Braun commercial cept comming through.. Then it is simple, i have made a promise, NEVER EVER BUY SOMETHING FROM BRAUN!! If we all do that, when a commercial is so damn interfering, there comes a time it will stop.. 😊 Another brand that came very close was Bosch.. so next time a Makita? hahaha..

I think.. someone bought a new engine (with the message: no oil in this one) and installed the cover of the replaced engine and now the new engine's cover was obsolete.. and has that sticker still on. Aitoku is a firm that deals in engines probably? btw. my 1979 280zx has also a yellow flaky valvecover, it's still original.. nothing done to it yet.. (if you ask me these were coated with some blank paint)

Maybe you can take off the front cover without taking the head off.. there are some spots were oilpressure is on it.. put in some new (selfmade of paper) gaskets.

Typical dutch name PIET .. he was Dutch you know... It was actually Mondriaan.

USED... I got a set NEW IN ORIGINAL BOX.. bought them in a package of many parts years ago, they are now worth the price of the whole package.. there where a lot of bodyparts like fenders and trunklid/hoods in that package. 10 years ago bought a 5 speed gearbox for a 280zx, they are now selling them for 20 times! the old price! (really, bought one for 75 euro and now they askt 1500 for them! used!!)

Hahaha ... yes we also call it a "bus" overhere! schoolbus is also a schoolbus ! 👍

Yes, that's him! The only one that comes up is the partridge-family.. that show was also seen in the 70's over here.. they also drove a big station car i believe.. not sure.

No idea what your talking about.. Keep it, it's there for good reason..
