Synchromesh worn out?
That would work for the 'up and down' alignment but you'd still have the 'side to side' to worry about.

Wrapping the rail
Due to the simplicity of the system how much fuel is ejected under those conditions would also fall under the catagory of the aforementioned 'questions nobody really needs the answers to' (IMO).

The splines actually do line up before the alignment pins reach the holes.

Best Burger Grilling?
How is one supposed to take the comment, "Right. Is that because my Z is faster than his? Or maybe he doesn't like the logo I designed for the national ZCCA meet?" or your statement which read "Marketing position with ZCCA" before you changed it? Based on those I think that you've got a real nerve to comment about how we 'welcome' people.....Maybe you should try your approach on the Mazda or Ferrari sites and see how they 'take it'.

Gearbox Question
Actually they were there to change the timing in 4th and 5th on the US cars. If that's the same setup over there no need for them in a 71.

Best Burger?
Your original response, "Right. Is that because my Z is faster than his? Or maybe he doesn't like the logo I designed for the national ZCCA meet?", was a troll type response. The fact that you've changed that post and seem to have backed off from the "Senior Presentation Specialist" claim is also 'interesting'. Speaking for myself, I don't care what you do but you really haven't done much to endear yourself to anyone on this site in the short time you've been here. As they say, just sayin'........

I didn't say it so I really don't care one way or another but your answer doesn't really do much to help your cause (whatever that is).

Well, one is about recipies and the other is about cooking them...............one of the members said something about smelling a troll.........

Datsun Z questions
I agree w/David. You'll find more useful info here (IMO) and less 'attitude' than those two sites.

So am I but why do that if you really don't have to. If that works for you...fine. I'm not knocking it but I masterd the floor jack w/adapter routine years ago. It doesn't get in the way and you can adjust the trans in any direction while it's on the jack. My hands end up being the only ones I need. I've also used it for auto transes, truck transes and others much heavier than a Datsun 4/5 speed with no issues.

Wrapping the rail
Which would not prevent a properly maintained car from starting and the pressure would stabilize pretty much instantly when the car starts. I agree with jmortensen's last sentence on this one.......

SU's vs Weber DGV's
The DGV is a passenger car carb. The Holley 5200 which was used on the 2.3 Ford Pinto engine as well as other vehicles/engines is acutally a licensed copy of the Weber 32/36 DGV.

His join date was 2/10/11, his post was at 2:47pm and his last activity was at 2:47pm. That and the content of his post.....I could be wrong.

Zed Head.....doesn't that post seem a little strange?? Joined yesterday, made that post, generic comment, left immediately, hasn't been back since......

Wrapping the rail
All I'm saying is that I never had cause to wrap the fuel rail. There were no vents on the hood of my 810 or either of my 200SX's nor did any of them have cooling fans on the fuel railsand I never had the 'vapor lock' problem with any of them or my 280Z (though it did have hood vents). I'd agree that it's dependant on fuel system component condition but maybe not so much on ambient temps since I live in Southern California with it's 100+ degree summers. I guess I've got nothing else to say here. I tell of my experiences, which is all I can speak accurately on, and threre are those who want to refute what I say.

Before I Port my Z I will prove it on a 4 cylinder first
I'd say that in the time I've owned that, it has paid for itself.
-
Synchromesh worn out?
If you do it right, it won't hurt your trans. If you do it like I did in my younger days...well you were already considering 'diving into a rebuild', right?
-
Synchromesh worn out?
You mean when it's runnig? Like match the revs and just do clutchless shifts? I used to do that when I was young and crazy......

Fastest Car You Have Ridden In?
I think I might have heard you pass by......Does he have an Audi R8 also?
-
Wrapping the rail
No reason it would be a bad idea in that it wouldn't hurt anything. I never had those problems with any of the 4 Datsun/Nissan EFI cars I owned but I've always been pretty anal when it comes to keeping everythiing in proper working order on my vehicles. I've always fixed the actual problem rather than doing something to mask or compensate for the symptoms.

Hey, you know what they say... See a broad, to get that booty ack? Lay ‘er down and slack ‘em yak ‘em!

I have an adapter that goes on my floor jack that allows you to tilt, turn, angle, a transmission. It makes it so much easier that I've actually done a couple of them by myself

I think I get it! It's like 'jive' from the movie 'Airplane'. Cold got to be! You know? Shiiiiiiit.

Most cost effective LSD 240z swap.
Oh, I'm not claimning to be a differential expert either. I just helped them change them out. Each of those cars were pre LS small blocks with mild mods but I don't think any but maybe one of them put out anywhere near what a stock LS1 or LS2 does.
