I also installed a new thermostat also. Im pretty sure i installed it correctly with the little bezel on the opposite side of the water inlet.

My temp sensor shows the hot a little past the middle to about the right corner of the M, Is this normal or should it be right in the middle. I recently installed a new therm stat sensor.

Well i got the new wheel cylinders and found out that they where the same ones that i got the first time. The brake line was set up to come on the bottom and not on the back like the original left wheel cylinder. I had to bend the brake line (thank god it didn't break or kink) to make it fit. So long story short the wheel cylinders that Black Dragon sells will require modification to fit. I just wish they would have said something.

I know that they make H rating for 16 inch tires, not to sure about 15 and below. Whats the difference in the rating anyways? Is it just the compound? I thought it had to do with the max speed rating for the tire. Anyone have a link were i can read the ratings?

If i ever get loaded im gonna drop Audi RS4 platform onto a Z. Always wondered what 425 hp awd would do.

thanks for the link. I ended up getting a stock replacement. I wish i had the skills to manufacture a bracket. I saw the steel mounts that were sold but i didn't want to deal with the noise issue that they cause.

I believe Falken has a new tire that is replacing the ZIEX 512 line up, Falken Ziex Ze 912. They have a longer life span 400 tread wear i believe and they have grooves for better wet traction. You might want to check them out.

Who wants to play king of the mountain?

mechanic said the mount was broken. just didn't know which one it was. I need to replace it. Any idea where i can get one without having to special order?

Well after a year of having my Z its finally on the road. The only problem is that i believe the differential mount is broken. It makes a thumping sound every time im changing gears from the rear of the car. I was wondering what was the name of the mount so I could replace it. Hopefully i won't have to special order it.

ill try my best at a loose translation "O tejadilho em vinil estava também disponivel embora, penso que em Portugal nunca tivesse existido, mesmo nos EUA é uma visão rara. Na foto do 240z branco, tinham acabado de retirar o vinil" I believe that in Portugal the vynil top never existed pretty much like in the U.S. where it is a rare sight. The photo is of a white 240z that had just had its vynil top removed. "Estes autocolantes estavem disponiveis de origem, (ver microficha acima)" these decals where available through the factory (look at the microfiche above)

yah, they go from 70 - 6/72. i heard something about the 260z models and up having the same model wheel cylinders on each side.

Well just wanted to give everybody a quick update. Got to work on the brakes and found out the hard way that the wheel cylinder was the wrong part. Where the brake line was didn't line up to the hole on the brake cylinder. Black Dragon is sending me the last Left side 70-72 wheel cylinder they have in stock. Back order will be 3-6 weeks. Or at least thats what they told me.

I was wondering if the 240z had a rear main seal. Is it 1 one piece or multiple piece? I am trying to track down an oil leak thats around my oil pan gasket near the transmission. If it does, does someone know the part number?

anyone?

read the info wrong. I am getting dry fouling. what can i do to remedy that?

looks like wet or dry fouling the only difference is the tip of the iridium can be seen, everything is is dark.

I pulled a plug today and it looks like they are really dark. How do i tell if the plug is fouled?

So the reg NGKs are fine, no need to get platinum NGKs ??

cool, thanks won't try to regap them. I'm trying to trouble shoot my engine seems to backfire through the carbs a little during the warm up stage. I have the carbs set at about 3.5 turns out. I thought maybe they where a little too lean.

Well i'm going through my system and I was wondering what the plug gap is for a 72 240Z. I read that it was .036 and i was wonderng if that was right. I have some Iridium IX sparkplugs. Thanks

It came in a nissan box with different part numbers. the part numbers are not on the wheel cylinders though, just on the boxes and both wheel cylinders look exactly the same. Ive seen other wheel cylinders for sale on ebay and they where labled with an L. I spent the extra money to make sure i was getting the right part... guess i should have bought from ebay. I think im going to wait till monday to give Black Dragon a call. I was told that the right and left wheel cylinders where no interchangable.

So i ordered new brake cylinders for my 4/72 240Z from Black Dragon and when i opened the left brake cylinder it had a big R inscribed in it. I was under the impression that the left would be labled with a L. THe box was labled with the right order though. Is this a mistake?? Or do they not give ones with an L anymore?

i saw this for sale a while back on ebay.. not sure if it sold

Thanks for all the great info. I didn't know that those aligners existed. I guess since most of them get removed or something. I'm gonna use the 10w30 until i get ahold of some 20 wieght. Would it be a bad idea to mix the oils?? Or should i just remove the dome and clean everything out before switching to the 20 wt?
