Clutch slave return spring?
That's when Nissan changed them on the production lines. Being over 35 years old, I'd imagine that the largest percentage of them have been changed to the later style.

Clutch slave return spring?
Free play is set at the master cylinder push rod. 24 to 35mm is the spec for clutch pedal free travel. The only thing I see in the FSM on the slave is that the push rod stroke is 35mm on the non-adjustable one. Any tweaks/adjustments to the slave, bleeding, etc. should be done before adjusting the free play and pedal stopper.

If anyone ever finds #488, let me know.

Can you remove the Evaportive Emission Control system on a 78?
What's the reason you'd want to remove it? In states that require emissions inspections, you'd run into problems there. In reading the description of the system in the FSM, clogged lines and/or removing the system could lead to things like gas fumes and/or insufficient delivery of fuel to the engine or vapor lock to name a few. If it's working, I'd leave it alone.

Clutch slave return spring?
You can adjust where it releases with the rod that attaches to the pedal. Obviously, you changed that adjustment when you changed master cylinders.

Fuel Pump
Good luck with that! I searched out that fuel pump in your link, the Airtex E8312, and it looks a lot like the Master E8312 that many of the chain store auto parts places sell. From, my experience, and if it's the same fuel pump, I would say since you just recently installed it, give it time. It won't last as long as the OEM pump and it will gradually lose pressure. I've installed one of those on my 810 and two others on other people's cars and they didn't last a year. Looks like it has the same 1 year warranty that Kragen Auto as on it. By complaining loudly and long enough, I was able to get a refund on mine rather than a replacement. Since then, nothing but OEM when it comes to fuel pumps.

Zs of Yore...
Sounds like your dad was much more of a 'car guy' than mine. Other than the Renault, I don't recall my dad ever tinkering much with cars. I guess with Renaults, if you wanted to drive them, you had to tinker with them. All of his other cars were more basic. 60 Ford Falcon station wagon, 66 Chevelle 4 dr. hardtop, couple of VW bugs, a Pinto, Ford Granada, 70-ish Buick Skylark, gas guzzling 70s Buick Centurion with a 455 ci V8. Not in that order and I'm sure I've left a couple out.

Zs of Yore...
My father once owned a Renault Dauphine with a Judson supercharger! I was quite young at the time, so you know that was a long time ago! All I recall about that car is that it was hot and noisy and my dad seemed to always be working on it.

I have to find these!!!
Wow. Rather salty answer to a legit question by one of the eBayers.

L24 stuff into L28et?
I don't think anyone here understood the question except Will. Either that or it wasn't asked properly. Sounds like he wants to use the L28ET with the turbo in his 240Z but it's missing the above mentioned parts. You're also missing the wiring harness, fuel lines, fuel pump, and many other ancillary parts needed for the L28ET to work properly, including the fuel tank. Regardless of what anyone has said, an EFI engine will not work satisfactorily with a non EFI fuel tank. There is nothing simple about doing this swap properly. Plus it takes $$$$$$$$.

spursfan55, I think this is done. This thread was dead for about 6 months before your post.

Centerforce II new install slipping!
You'd still have the pedal stop, and pedal to MC adjustments.

My 1970 240Z!
I doesn't really work that way as we've discussed in other threads. The number my be 64 later than his but they didn't necessarily produce them in sequential order.

first post
Welcome. Is your car a 78? Is black it's original color? You may have done even better that you think on your purchase. If it's originally black it's a Black Pearl Edition. If the paint code tag is still there on the radiator support, see if it had '638' for the paint code.

280z Dual Exhaust?
Seperate with one on each side, Ansas or Monzas would look fine. But stacked together or side by side on the same side of the car would look strange to me. Besides, these are single bank engines. I'm not sure that dual exhaust would be good for anything other than asthetics.

Previous owner = electrical issues
Matchbox? As in E12-80 module on the side of the distributor? That's not stock on a 77 or any other S30 but many have done the conversion but it has to be done right. That could also be part of your problem(s). A stock 77 would have the much larger E12-27 ignition module mounted on the passenger side kick panel just above and forward of the fuse box and nothing on the side of the distributor. And what you're referring to as the "fuel injection module (large black unit on kick panel left of driver foot)" is the ECU (electronic control unit). I don't know what reverse polarity would do to it because I've never been through that.

280z Dual Exhaust?
Now this is just my opinion but that would look strange like ricey or what's that other term? Bosoku or something like that? Again, JMO.
-
280z Dual Exhaust?
The main problem you'd have there is the lack of space between the gas tank and the right side of the car. I haven't looked under a 75-76 lately but on a 77-78, you'd have no room on the right side for a tailpipe.

Previous owner = electrical issues
I'll have to do a little research on that one. I have a 78 which is a little different.

Fuel Pressure Regulator
I bought mine from Summit Racing for my Weber carbed 320 pickup. I believe it's the Spectre Industries 2517 but I purchased it over ten years ago. That's the one on their site that looks like the one I have though they may have changed the model number. It's universal, comes with several size fittings, is adjustable from 1-5.5 psi and I can attest to their durability as it still works fine to this day.

Previous owner = electrical issues
His is a 77. The oil pressure signal is only in the fuel pump circuit on the 78 and up cars. I posted the chart for his car in another thread. The problems are obviously caused by the previous owner and since I have no idea what was actually done, I have no suggestion other than to compare what's there to the wiring diagram and try to correct it which is what I think he's doing.

flat tops vs round top
I'm one of the aforementioned "many supporters who will probably show themselves in this thread" but, alas, you can't find parts for flat tops anymore, the machine shop that I used to fix them back in the day has long since closed and the guy who used to help me set them up passed away about two years ago. I still contend that they can be made to work as well if not better than round tops but round tops are so much easier. I've never heard of Z Therapy doing any work on flat tops. I'm sure that Mr. Palmer's recommendation for them would look something like this:

no spark and more
On a 75-77, this is the algorithm for fuel pump operation:
