explain it any better then that:cheeky:

well its still a little low, id try advancing the cam might bring it up just a bit. now that i know its fi, and you cant get it timed right or running to well the next thing i would check for is vacumn leaks. look hard and long and double check and double check again. they are hard to find, just make sure you go over all your hoses with a fine tooth comb

well if you have a 240Z then your compression readings are a bit low. have you adjusted valves and retested. thats something i would do. also on the white smoke is it thick or thin, if its thin and more grey to me that sounds like unburnt fuel. id adjust vavles and see if you get a better reading on compression, then maybe advance the cam, also while your in there once your sure everything is good, valve adjust compression, check your timing as well too. then adjust your carbs and see what results you have when all is right.

99.95% of the time its a lean condition that causes this. id go with 2many's advice

yes you would have to either cut the backing plate for the calipers to fit and or remove it completly thanks for that reminder

hey guys if the volume would be good for this swap, with the 4 piston calipers, 300ZX vented rotors, and spacer. i was also thinking of selling this swap if i would get a good response on this as well. the price complete would be about 325, it should be a close guestimate as i havent priced out spacers yet. i also need to find the longer bolts to do the job of mounting it together. would anyone here be interested in this also or?? give me a heads up of what you think and if its a good price worthy or not. hehe i was just looking at msa's catalouge, they want 395 for what im selling:cross-eye hmmm think that you are getting ripped somewhere down the line:ermm: thats the other brake upgrade and not this one, though for a fee of about 60 more dollars i could include stainless steel lines too :devious: anyway give me your thoughs on this upgrade and let me know what you guys think price wise and if anyone would want this upgrade thanks

no discount for you!!

i can get as many as needed. so if you will want them later down the road ill have them:classic:

thats the one you want, the bend is right and its great!!

for the price i quoted these are ready to bolt on, all you have to do is bleed the brakes what im selling comes with everything you need! all you do is the work to put them on:ermm: the calipers are not used but new remanufactured units. all you have to do is bolt them to your car, bleed them out and voila you are done.

that would do the job or purchasing a quaife would definetly do the job + it would be warrantied and you wouldnt have to go threw so much to make it work. another option ive seen and it seems to fit and work well is the corvette IRS rear suspension. there is a guy over at hybridZ.org that has done that to his 10 sec street driven Z!

though i dont know why in gods name someone would put those horrible looking wire basket wheel covers over top of some nice 5 slot aluminum wheels. price seems to be a bit steep to me though concidering its not all original

considering the pic and trying to look at it that way, id say buy it if the price is right

no core charges at all that is the price. the discount is just an incentive 2many. it might help to get people on here and working toward a better understanding of theyre car and they may want to work toward that goal for a discount. the onlyl extra charges would be shipping! and if only a handful of us are above 1k posts then we must be spending to much time here as well:ermm:

they are very customer oriented and customer service is excellent. also on another note unlike most places that you would call and or deal with on the net or by phone, the people that work there are knowledgable as well. shipping is done in a very timely matter and like i said before i dont think you could find a much better place to deal with. i give em the two thumbs up!

great job on the rotisserie, and especially for the price. good job! also from the looks of it the Z is looking to be in pretty good shape as well, not noticing much rust on her, and thats a good thing:love:

why you would want to buy locally, and from someone you know. honestly though, if you wan the best suspension parts for your Z then i would have to say that you need to bite the bullet and go for the tokico blue set up. its the best all around and theres been nothing but good said about it. not to mention nissan uses them straight from the factory. www.shox.com is the BEST place to buy these, cheapes as well and service is excellent. just a heads up

ive been checking into the other 4 piston brake upgrade as a kit to sell. the only thing is that i cant sell that as cheap as i can this set. i would be able to get the complete reman calipers, loaded, and rotors, you would have to buy the spacers unless i can find enough people to buy them where it would be feasible. i could probably sell this set for around 250-275, thats without the spacers though.

it is mad to work with your existing rotor. one my 71 240Z i had the same wheels as you have one your car now. there were no clearance issues at all. you dont necessarilly have to go to the larger mc but it would be adviseable as your are going to be pushing a lot more fluid with these calipers. some have said that you need a proportioning valve. i did not use one with mine and all was well. i did upgrade the mc though. one thing i can say is that you will have to change your braking habits, as they will put you threw the front windsheild if your not careful i was just braking as normal and using a little to much pressure, boy them 4 piston calipers really do stop you quick, to me it was like having power brakes on the Z.:cheeky:

when 2many tells you to keep the yellow ZROFL i have to admit though i would just swap out whats good off of the blue one and put it to the yellow one and keep from both any spares that you could use later one.

that will net you paying 200, just for the simple fact that your spending to much time hereROFL

sorry:cry:

this is for use with the stock rotor, complete remanufactured sets of calipers, brakes and pin and spring kit are included. the price for the set is 150.00 for member of the Classic Z Car Club if you have 500 posts 140.00 if you have 1000 posts 130.00 this is an incentive to help the community and get a good deal. shipping is by carrier of your choice and paid by the buyer

from places like advanced auto and the like for about 150+ depending on location. not to bad of a price and they come with a warranty

wow i have to agree with enrique, this is just way to much work to do for a safe and competent vehicle. i think its time to let it go.
