@DocDavis I asked earlier about the brakes in general whether or not you might have air in the system. I have a similar system but using the 240sx calipers. It’s a very tight fit. I had to maneuver mine to keep the cable from binding. There have been posts in the past where guys flip flopped the cables left to right to eliminate this.

Preface your question with @stevej and he will get a notification. Easiest way to communicate with members. Unless he logs on he will not see it.

And the car drives and brakes correctly with good pedal pressure? If not you could have a fluid/air issue at the rear calipers.

Please provide more information and pics.

Great observation

Friend, It’s worth a shot at that price. Worse scenario re-sell it.

Sometimes when your called out you get a response when it will come back to bite you. IMO

A little sand blast hand gun would take care of that!!

From what we have seen that wasn’t the problem. Someone suggested you check the chokes that was all. You’re going to need a meter and start testing the ignition system and go from there IMO. If number 4 is fouling concentrate on that. #4 plug wire. #4 contact inside and outside the cap etc. etc.

They might have gone bad is @siteunseen point.

There are alignment shops that have a laser system that can dial them in from what I’ve read. Not sure where or how they choose a base line. The article I read was about AWD vehicles and 4 wheel steering similar to the 300zx turbo. Didn’t realize Nissan manufactured one until the Parts manager mentioned they had one in the shop.

Doesn’t sound like you have a choke problem. I have been following the thread and you might want to go back and look what others have suggested concerning the ignition?

There’s a story behind that and I’m pretty sure that will be answered in good time.

That’s what I I read at the time was that he would have a follow up.

I think it might have something to do with interference in the radio circuit . Mounts next to the coil itself. @SteveJ

If you haven’t already Go to the section on the website and download/print the FSM for your car. You will find it to be a better document to follow in the future. Sometimes on eBay you can find a factory FSM for sale. Glad you found the major problem. Probably a little more tweaking to be done but you’re heading in the right direction .

@Zed HeadGood idea. This would open the door to parts we normally aren’t aware of. Me personally I’m not on Facebook.

Ordered from them multiple times. First they take the order then verify the availability and then collect your money. PayPal is the way to go as far as payment IMO. Fast delivery time from Japan.

The question I have is are the seals and pistons readily available? I would think as a minimum you need a seal kit.

Finish putting the engine back together where you have the chance to monitor each phase.

Good call @siteunseen. Easier than the gas can trick but the same result!!

For grins… you can isolate the return line to a gas can and see how much fuel is returning to check the circuit. It should be quite a bit of fuel that cycles through back to the can. A lot more than you imagine. The majority of the fuel being sent gets returned.
