Got tired of not having enough focused light under the hood in the dark. I put 7 super brite leds into the round lense after heating it and flattening the surface for the L.E.D.'s -
I installed 5 super white led's into the overhead domelight area. Soooo much better than stock. I can actually see what I'm looking at now -
2) 2004 350Z 6-speed tranni's for sale!
Zs-ondabrain replied to Zs-ondabrain's topic in Open Discussions
From what I've heard, the company that's doing this cuts the bell housing in order to put the adaptor on.(welding or bolting required, Not sure) I'm still looking into it. When JZM gets back on, He can explain it better. -
Hey all new to this forum w/240z/240sx hybrid question
Zs-ondabrain replied to Coastieee240z's topic in Aftermarket
I see ya typing, but all I'm hearing is blah blah blah :stupid: -
I drive mine (70' 240Z) every day, every where, forwards, backwards, sideways,and every time I need to go to the parts store for more Z parts. If it were'nt for JZM, I'd probably be walking a few times a year. But I am learning to do a lot of the work myself. Dave.

Zs-ondabrain replied to Zs-ondabrain's topic in Open Discussions
I should probably add that JZM is A.S.E. certified in just about every thing and has worked for NISSAN dealerships as a mechanic for many years. He is THE Z mechanic at Z-Sport in Everett, WA. If you have a question, 9.9 times out of ten, he'll have the answer. Lets all give a big welcome to JZM, he's my best friend and personal Z guroo. Dave. P.S. It's about time John. -

Like Will said, Don't bet on it. they are the 6-speed tranny out of a 350Z, If you have the V6 engine, this is the tranny for you. I've heard a few rumors of some company attempting to make a conversion for the L24 thru L28 engine style. If and when it happens, if my friend still has a tranny left, I'm all over that. ( like white on rice) I'll know more tomorrow. Till then, I'll be dreaming of a way to make it work on the ol' L-series. After watching that Darius240Z.com video, I'm drooling over the possebility of a BIG motor in the 240Z. http://servinitup.com/videos/240z.mpeg I play this one all the time with the speakers turned up. Dave. -
I'm waiting to hear back from my buddy, but he has 2) 350Z 6-speed tranni's that he is considering for sale. I figured I'd let you guys know. How much would you be willing to pay for such an Item?? tranni #1 has 1500 miles on it, and tranni #2 has aprox. 3000 miles on it. one was removed from a wrecked 350Z and the other was a factory warrenty replacement. The owner thought there was a problem with it and had it replaced, then found out that the new one had the same exact feel as the first one. therefore, nothing was wrong with it in the first place. how much would you pay if you were interested in them???

Undercoating is the coating under the car. Its the Black, hard, tar based substance that protects all the metal under your Z. its the stuff that flakes off the inner wheel well when your tire explodes. Without the coating, you'd just have paint under the car and more likely, alot of rust. It can be componently broke down with gasoline. And look like oil after it drips off the gas tank.
-
sounds like you should set it at the HOT setting to allow the valves to close all the way. Valves may not be closing all the way and causing lack of compression. Then again, I could be WAY off.
-
Sounds to me like the tank could be sweating or have a small leak that is loosening the Undercoating on the tank. The gas is breaking down the tar in the undercoating and turning it to a sludge like material, then slowly making its way down the side of the tank to drip on the floor. If it smells like gas and looks really dark or like undercoating, Thats probably what it is. My 2cents, Dave.

THats exactly where I got my replacement tranni (a 78' 200sx) when I blew out 2nd gear racing a Firebird, I wooped him hard :hurt:. His V6 against my L20B, (4 cyl.) He did'nt have a chance. I love bigger bore, longer stroke 4 cylinders
-
You got me all wrong Carl, :eek: That last one was'nt in defence or anything, I was just stating and not out to bitch slap ya. I would'nt do that to you of all people, Your one of my buds. Dave
-
When I owned my 78' 510, They came with that odd 5 speed, Reverse is where first should be and first was straight down from there. It was a GREAT tranni and even better for smoke shows "burn-offs", Roll back in reverse, then slam it down into first and drop the clutch, Instant smoke show. Man, I miss that car.
-
I know they're not the same but maybe one of the 510 guys can help get a lead on where to look. One of them may have run across that particular style in the search for their "libre's". Just a thought off the top of the 'ol noggin, Carl. I may not know all the answers but some times I can shove ya in the right direction. And besides, "e racer1999" was interested in the Libre's also. Dave.
-
Type (510 again) into the yahoo search engine and you should get some thing like this: http://www.oregontrail.net/~rond/5102_again.htm Its a link page to almost every thing 510. try it out. Dave.
-
They almost look like the same ones I see on 510's all the time. Try a search on one of the pl/510 sites, ya never know.
-
ALWAYS REPLACE THE V.R. whenever you replace or have had problems with the alternator. Its almost one of those Datsun "rule of thumbs"

TAKE THE HEAD TO THE MACHINE SHOP!!!!!!!!!! re-surface the head or your just asking for the gasket to blow again, TRUST ME. Been there done that, HATED it. When it comes to your Z, Always take the extra time and money to do it right the FIRST time, Or you'll be spending twice that the next time. The $16.00 head gasket is not the one you want, The right one will run ya about $50 or more. The valve cover gasket is the only thing that should cost about $15.00. My 2Cents. Dave. P.S. Where in the h%$# did you fing a heater core for $60??
-
Damn thing would NOT come off. So I drilled the hell out of it till it came off. Thank god the rear disk brakes are going on soon. -
Sounds more like triplets to me. http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=6914&sort=1&size=medium&cat=500&page=3 Dave.

I know you don't wanna hear this, but whats the possibility that during all that back-firing you might have slipped the timing chain a tooth or 2?? I can't figure it out either, If it ran 2 hours before the pull and you changed nothing, it Should run. Start over with the engine on T.D.C on Compression stroke, check timing and spark plug arrangement again. If anything, do it for your own sanity, Just so you know in your head that it's all correct up front. Then go to the carbs. My 2cents. Good luck, Dave.
-
For your sanity and mine (ours), stick with the NGK's. They are the Supierior plug when it comes to the L-series. I've had nothing but dissapointment with all other plugs. With the exception of the 4-bridge rotory engine plug with the (MSD 6A) as a back-up. Then again I could be babling :stupid: Let us know how you end up fixing it, Dave.
-
This one is way out there, but my 70' would also only run or stay running at a crappy idle if I had the choke on. It turns out that I had real crappy spark and with the choke dumping more fuel into the chamber, it had a chance to keep running. sounds weird but the solution to my problem was the E12-80/D6K8 distributor swap ( from points to electronic) Now that there is decent spark and the throttle has been re-adjusted properly, It idles like a dream (a stage 2 cam, header, rumbling, blub blub blub blub dream) but none the less, very smooth. Not every Z is alike but what the hell, It could'nt hurt to check. Dave.

Scream'n is right. Damn if that ain't one of the better yellows i've personally seen. Stands out and says "HEY, I'M OVER HERE." LOOK AT ME OFFICER. MESSIN WITH YA, I LOVE IT. Dave.
