My wife is cool- I have 3 rollers now so she is getting numb to this. She also knows I've never lost $ on these deals . ESPECIALLY after acquiring the diesel Maxima Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

"So honey , I bought another Z today" instant response ," you've got to be fu@£NIH kidding me " anyone else have this conversation-lol Anyway, didn't see this one coming but it's landed in my lap. # 4858 , 5/70 build date. Still not even to my house yet and I've spent a total of 15 minutes looking at it. Too many unknowns to answer anything specific , but it's definetly fixable . Actually in pretty decent shape- respective of its age. Update this when I get it home .

Know anyone with a 4 post lift. Drive it up on there and chock everything and put a load on the driveline, or just rock it in gear with someone watching

I did that set up and thought it worked out pretty well, but I had driveline vibration that I couldn't figure out and thought it was the cause since it lowers the pinion . i went back to the mount sandwich - Techno mount snubber and stock mount. make sure no twisting motion allows those bolt heads to contact the crossmember since they are so close . I now have just learned to live with the seldom clunk I get. It seems the harder I drive the car the less clunk I get.

I've got three extra fuel pumps and I would send you one for shipping costs. i have a RX7 pump and an extra and a Carter . I replaced pumps thinking that was the problem, but it was the freaking filter . Now I'm EFI , so ....

It's not about them deteriorating, it was about them not staying assembled inside. When the filter cartridge comes loose ( if it's the replacement type) , it blocks the outgoing fuel. Mine was even intermittent which was really frustrating . I would think Dorman is the same as Mr Gasket- but I could be way wrong. Or maybe I had the only one that came loose- but the fact that it can happen vs a throw away plastic one is why I say get rid of it. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of this possibility

Get rid of that filter - they are junk. The filter assembly inside comes loose and blocks fuel flow. You won't suspect it because you'll see fuel in the filter . Take it off and see if it is coming apart inside

Body kit from Z Trix ? Looks good!

Is was more about avoiding a POSSIBLE problem then fixing one. Improperly fitted caps could lead to dribbling fuel collected in the caps that could lead to a bad idle and other issues.

Well I took Richards advice and put the proper pintle caps on the injectors. I did find out that the injectors I am using have a 18 degree spray pattern . Not sure how that compares to stock. All I know is that this engine runs as good as it ever has- despite finding a valve nick on #1 bore , despite dropping the cam with towers attached from 4 feet in the air. Despite replacing a cam tower that was nicked on its bearing surface from the drop. Despite shaving another 20 thou and not checking clearances despite guessing cam timing and throwing the cam in 6 degrees advanced. and the list goes on thankyou L gods

So if I answer to Steve or Stephen(mom would be more proud of Stephen), do the Steve's get any points for that. How abut points on how many cars the Steve's bring-LOL

Well I'm one of two Steve's from my town that should be going- both with 71's Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I used fiberglass mat when I deleted my rear bumper . I filled the indentations with fiberglass and finished out with bondo. So far so good, no issues with the body work . Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I was going to ask the same thing. I've got a 18" sanding block and it saved me when trying to keep thing flat and lines straight . Your work is great and I might be referring to your thread in my next few builds. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Most people remember the 280z vs all other versions . Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I changed the pintel caps with zx ones, so the spray pattern should be okay - correct ? Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile
