Low power/Lean when fuel is low
@Zed Head I’m not frivolously trying to spend his money. I spent over $400 trying to have a 35 year old tank at the time to be repaired. Bottom line is these tanks develop pin holes especially around the seam of the tank. My opinion was if he wants to save money in the long run and close this particular variable this is a viable solution.

Again, S30.World Your issues will no longer exist. Had my 78 repaired and sealed twice and it still leaked through pin holes that developed with time.

Rough cold idle then smooths out
I apologize for not understanding the plug gap measurement you are speaking of. Forgive my ignorance so to speak. This is the first I’ve heard of this measurement. Please educate me on this.

IIRC the plug gap should be set at 45 thousandths on your plug setting gauge.

How does that relate to 45 thousandths of an inch.

Seatbelt alternatives for a series 1 240z?
IMO just keep what the factory designed. Most members here are 240 owners and would not even consider making that change. There were multiple structural changes made in the latter years. Enjoy what you have friend.

What’s my first move??
My only response is I went through the same situation. I replaced every connection on the RFI system due to corrosion. Fix one another pops up. Including the AFM connection. It’s not fun, Takes time but worth it.

Electric fan or new fan clutch/shroud for my 240z?
The symptoms are it was over heating. You never went back and reversed the fan blade and polarity to push air through the radiator.

New Fuel Tank Sending Unit needed
I purchased one for my 78 and it’s more intricate than a 240 and it works perfectly. I’m very surprised he would say it was hit or miss.

Brake fluid leak at master
Seems like a lot of extra tension on the cable. Gives you more flexibility on how tight you want it.

Z DOWN!!! Zed needs a hand.
You need the 1.5 coil without the ballast is their recommendation. On the website it’s pretty straight forward. Number 1 position on the 123 is in the 5 position on their cap. Different I understand but that’s how they set it up. Bring it to top dead center drop it in and turn it clockwise until the led lights and your set.

If you have it blowing the wrong way it’s going to make a huge difference. Check that before anything else.
