Cleaning my rubber [emoji3]
Some sort of rubber conditioner. Not Armoral. Do some research and you will find something that conditions rubber.

What is Everyone Doing for a Fuel Pressure Regulator?
@the_tool_manI have a relatively new Bosch FPR mated up to my 78 fuel rail with rebuilt injectors if you’re interested. The run time is less than 10 hours. Brought my car back to factory specs and decided to go a different route. The system was removed when I sent the engine to Datsun Spirit. If your interested send me a PM.

Starter failing, battery meter pegged?
I tell ya if I had to do it all over again and had a factory starter/alternator that went south I’d definitely look for someone to rebuild it. The quality we are getting these days is beyond questionable.

Starter failing, battery meter pegged?
Need to dig around to find where that goes. Should be easy to find being red. Most professional audio companies use yellow 12 gauge wire for direct 12V supply to a bridge.

Is the red cable coming off the starter going to audio equipment in the car? If so disconnect that until you get this figured out and move on from there.

Starter failing, battery meter pegged?
Was the starter and and alternator failing at that point? The reason I ask is what’s available today is not Mitsubishi. Mostly Chinese junk. Many threads here relating to multiple defective parts right out of the box. Most folks now have it tested before they leave the store for that reason. Please let us know what you bought and where. The starter from the pic doesn’t look like it was a rebuilt original. @stevej has posts out there on how to take voltage measurements on the charging system. It’s pretty in-depth and worth the effort.

Might just be more than one variable here. Give us a history of what you changed when and why. What was the first symptom back in time that involved changing parts.

Vintage air in 1971 240
Well, that throws me way off on my vintage air setup. I assumed that the refrigeration lines were located on the drivers side. Guess I need to go ahead and order my system. Originally I was going to go with the factory line location entry on the firewall.

From that pic it looks like it may be a bit shorter than the Z. Pretty cool.

Cut open and reweld fuel tank?
I know a lot of folks including myself that have played with these tanks hoping for the best. Myself, I had the tank done twice as far as being cleaned and red coated only to find 3 months later pin holes in the upper part of the tank appeared and ended up throwing the tank away. I’m not promoting S30.world’s tanks. What I can tell you is they are amazing. Transfer your rubber cushion pieces over and you are set. Spent along time trying to save my original 78Z tank and was just a waist of time. Keep in mind, What is the red coat doing to the pickup screen. Just my 2 cents. Looking back now I wish I would have cut it open before I got rid of it.

My Datsun 240Z
Something I’ve run into more times than not is Sellers assume that what they are advertising fits the entire series. I’m sure there is not a lot of research going on before running the add.

280z EFI harness hole size
$45, Free Shipping and no Tax. True a bit pricy. I think the more you run into parts that are NLA and are wearable items you find yourself paying a lot extra for these Zcars. I ordered one for mine today. I’ll pass on the quality and how it compares to factory.

Custom 3 Piece wheels???
