I don't think that's really it. I would tend to agree with your statement is that was the case but what you have here is a guy who tries to force his opninion on members of a site where most of his subject matter doesn't follow the general consesus. And he knows the type of answers he's going to get based on past incidents. He might even get some sort of vicarious thrill from posting this crap and then watching the responses. I don't know.

Speaker.

This is a fairly diverse board as far as that goes, far from what I call a 'purist board' but no one here seem to like it. This crap belongs on some ricer or bozo site. This guy wants to shove this down everyones throat even though he knows most people here won't like it (based on his own words I might add). Look at some of his other posts on this board. For example: This guy doesn't belong here (IMO). Nor does he seem to be happy here.

As I said: "Sounds like a rather thinly veiled put on to me." Kind of makes me think of cardogman1, Mckrack or whatever the other name Burt Diamond used was.

You'd have to find someone at the present day Nissan the gives a damn about history. Might be a lifetime search......

C, they can delete mine at the same time. Sounds like a rather thinly veiled put on to me. Possibly under an 'assumed name'. Look at the occaisional misspellling. You can spell knowlege, immaterial, or signifigant but not board, whole, or Camaro? Here's my 'carefully worded' response. Chrissimmons, get lost!

Short answer, yes. If you scroll down to "1977 through 1983 Factory Four/Five Speed Transmission Ratios" on Mr. Becks site you'll see the differences. Messers Golik, Bell, and Corrigan who are three Datsun gurus in their own right also contributed to this compilation. http://www2.zhome.com:81/ZCMnL/tech/GearRatios.html

Looks to be a 79 and up 5 speed. It has a higher fifth gear than the 78 trans. You'll want to hook up the farthest forward 'sensor' as that the your reverse light switch. The other two won't matter on a 78 since there is no provision for them in the car. They are part of the 79 and up emission control (vacuum switching valve) system. I had that same trans in my 78 and I liked the higher fifth; a little better freeway/highway mpg. Mine came from an 83 Maxima which is the same as a ZX 5 speed.

The purpose of calling a junkyard was to establish a 'buy-back' value not to actually sell it to them.

This is about 4 months old. The OP hasn't been here sice September. I wonder if he ever did solve the problem.

I can see by that statement that you do understand. Even you alluded to your low post count here. I meant no hostility; just an observation. Nothing personal. Ebay may be a 'structured selling environment' but I've had a few bad experiences over the years. Due to that, I approach eBay with the appropriate skepticism. All that being said, welcome to the site! A trustworthy vendor is always welcome.

I notice that you've only had the eBay 'monniker' datsunation since November 26, 2009 but 6 1/2 years with another. With all due respect and considering all that goes on on eBay, pardon me if I'm not impressed by your 2 months of documentable 100% feedback when there's really no way to track your previous ID history.

In that case, I'd use the 77 diagram since the car is a 77. What parts of the fuel injection are from a 78? As long as the components in the car are 77 components, i.e., ECU, relays, AFM, etc., I'd follow the 77 diagram.

There are some differences. 78's don't have fuel pump contacts in the air flow meter, 78's have an internally regulated alternator. Some pins used on the ECU connector on a 77 are not used on a 78. In short, you would need to use the correct year diagram.

All I did was pass the diagram on to you. Thank Wayne (wal280z), he's the one that originally posted it here some years ago. I have some tested, working, clean fusible links (3 red, 1 black). I used to carry them in the glove box as spares when I had my Z. PM me if you want them, they're yours for postage. (Like the 'pay it forward' thread).

I was just being obtuse. That engine is sweet.......

You guys keep this up and I'll post a picture of my LS2. It's not an L28 but at least it's fuel injected.......

datsun-parts? Don't go there! Search him (Al Allen) on this site when you have the time. It's informative reading and you can decide for yourself.

It looks like all the other 47+ year old decals/stickers/graphics on the car have been redone. I wonder why not the 'NGK'?

Try this one. It's large, in color and for a 77: http://www.classiczcars.com/downloads/F77ZCAR-WIRING.pdf

I actually got 100%! (Two lucky guesses on the Honda Civic and Dodge Caravan)

That link doesn't seem to go where you must have intended it to go.

That light not only indicates that the emergency brake is on but can also indicate low fluid if the car has the caps on the MC that monitor fluid level or it could also indicate a line pressure differential problem between the front and rear brakes.
