Hi Eric, good luck with the pump. Could you put up some pics of it before you install it and after? That would be appreciated. Chris

If you dont want to take the v/c off, shine a light in the fuel pump hole and look at the eccentric on the front of the cam. If you can rotate the engine while looking, you can examine the eccentric on a complete rotation. You could rotate the motor till the "bump" on the eccentric is towards the pump hole, then when you install the pump you can kind of feel the arm of the pump contact the eccentric. You have to push kind of firmly against the pump to depress the lever and slide it onto the studs in the head. Hope that makes sense and helps you somewhat. Chris

Hi Rick, off topic, found out yesterday my Uncle helped string utility lines across the outback about 40 years ago. 37 here so I'm middlish like Will. Chris

Good one Bill! Chris

Welcome to the group! I have an 89 S13 daily driver with minor mods. Great little car. I wish you the best of luck finding a Z that suits you. Chris 72 240Z in storage 73 240Z in storage 73 240Z (my avatar, my baby) 89 240SX 00 Xterra

I second Jim's thoughts about Skylines. I absolutely love them all and welcome the pictures and discussions about them on this site. I'd give up my Z for a Skyline in a second. Beautiful cars you guys! Keep the pics coming. Chris

You're welcome. I've drooled over this for about 2 years now. Just dont like messing up systems that already work. I have the 4 row radiator in mine now and she runs cool even when its over 100. 165 degree thermostat helps in Nebraska summers. Chris

Oooooohhhhh, another 4 barrell. Bet she's a great runner too. Chris

Hi Lance, he's installing a replacement for the belt driven pump. He'd have to add an electric fan as well. Here's a link.....http://www.csr-performance.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=SC&Category_Code=N_WP Chris

Ty, The manifold's are not normally interchangeable. Different shaped ports could lead to massive exhaust gas leaks. Granted you could potentially drive the car with a L24 manifold on an L28 but you will not have any luck getting the L24 downpipe attached to the L28 manifold. The angles are not quite the same where the downpipe attaches to the 3 bolt flange. Trust me on this as I've done the swap myself. When I did this swap years ago, I bought a L28 downpipe from Victoria British, then had the exhaust shop connect it to the stock L24 exhaust system. Cheap yet effective. You really have no good options aside from getting the correct combination of parts. Chris

Saw this today while surfing. Ouch, 63 year old at the wheel. Chris

Yeah, where we live they just get picked up by a twister and hurled into another county. I'll pass on both please. Chris

Hi Ed, it appears you have some kind of switches in the emblem just ahead of the ashtray. Is that the case? Can you elaborate for me? I have a 73 and its completely flat there like the other pictures in this thread. Thanks, Chris

Along these same lines, if you happen to own any precision measuring devices, like micrometers, calipers, depth gauges etc. You should never put them away in their cases with the jaws closed together. Always leave a small gap between the jaws. It throws their calibration off as well. Learned this years ago from my Grandpa who was a machinist. FWIW, Chris

Hi Will, I've got enough diapers of my own thanks!! :laugh: Sorry again about the clock! :cheeky: Chris

Boy, I cant decide if I want to bid or not. Part of me really wants the custom center console. Never seen one quite like it before. :stupid: Bet she's a runner to with that 4 barrell. Chris

Hey Bill, you been driving any Ford's lately? Chris ford.bmp

I hear you there Jeff! Chris

I'm not arguing with you Jeff, just saying that the ebayer thinks its for a 240Z because the sticker says so. He believes everything he reads! Chris

You have to admit though, the sticker does say 240Z even though we all know it wont fit a 240Z without metal work. Chris

Hi Nate, All I can find is this....http://kanko.pref.hokkaido.jp/kankodb/foreign/e/n1_oka08.htm or here..http://www.tin-net.com/hobby/travel/20001008_hokkaido/05biei/ Surely Alan or Kats knows exactly. Chris

Yikes!! Chris
