How about that!!! Finally a contribution to the forum that has not been mentioned. @Captain Obvioushad a great deal to do with digging me out of that rabbit hole. Glad you got her fixed!!!

@Mark MarasDid you mean valve seals earlier in your post? I think that’s what you were referencing. Try some Kano Kroil penetrant and MAF gas. A lot easier to work with it out of the car.

I made a makeshift rack and submerged the hoses in boiling water. They softened up and came off somewhat easier?

Agreed, find a used hub, I’m sure you can find one here on this site. Drive new races in it and go….

I wouldn’t think that would be an issue.

I haven’t looked way back in thread is this an auto or manual car?

Ok, I’m getting a little confused on whose thread this is and are we working on a 240 or 280? The information I’ve given is related to a 1978 280z.

Have you had a chance to get it up in the air?

Towards the intake

Here’s what happened in my situation. I was having the same issue’s similar to what you’re experiencing. Without getting into great detail. I changed out the booster check valve in the midst of going down the rabbit hole. Come to find out I had installed the new check valve backwards. There is an arrow on the valve. I had it pointing in the wrong direction where I was not getting any assist from the booster.

Behind the passenger seat where the deck wall meets the floor board. The relay is mounted on the back of the seat rail support as well. Pull the carpet up you will see the harness.

@av8ferg might have parts I don’t need according to @stevej. My original order is in transit. Bargain time/trading material😂😂😂

@SteveJThanks brother, just what I need for my project. Should have everything in a couple of days.

You’re probably don’t have a fuel pressure gauge installed after the filter to monitor pressure . I noticed on mine, fuel pressure would bleed down. Never interfered with starting even cold at 0 pressure. Builds quickly while starting. Check the fuel damper next to the pump. Probably going to need a mirror to really look at everything carefully or get an inexpensive endoscope camera from Amazon that’s blue tooth. Valuable tool.

Put it on Jack stands, grab a buddy and start investigating.

Can you give us an idea of what you are replacing?

Converting my car from FI to triple 47mm OER carburetors for my Datsun Spirit motor. The canister and anything associated with the FI has been removed permanently, mounting brackets etc. Looking for some ideas at this time on venting the tank once that line has been removed. Appreciate all the help.

Checking on an order status when I saw this. Pretty Cool. Belong to anyone you know?

Take a look at “American Modern”. I’ve got my project insured for 30k for a little over $200 annually. $100 deductible with 3k miles a year. The stipulation in mine is it has to be garaged. You can also buy it back if god forbid it was totaled. I’m still in the build stage but will be transporting it quite a bit during the final stages.

@Dave WMOne thought on the performance aspect between the two motors. On the test stand you had a free flowing exhaust setup where I think on the car you’re still running the restricted system with the original catalytic converter and smaller exhaust. Please correct me if I’m mistaken My friend. Great job quick turnaround time.

Just ordered mine! Great Cause!!

You are going to need a FSM “Factory Service Manual”. Available here to down load. Please stop throwing parts at the project. You will quickly find yourself going down a rabbit hole. Second we are going to need a lot of background history in order to help you. A lot of reading and research is ahead of you. There are numerous possibilities. Start by downloading the FSM.

Did he mention having any other templates for later year 280’s

Good job Dave, Great practice run before we stab my new motor in!!😂😂

When you call ask for Max. Good people.
