Needle and seat assembly is tight and any appropriate washers are used on the valve assembly? How did you check to see if the needle was sealing off the fuel flow?
-
Chris , Look at my triple set up . I made a balance tune from a fuel rail. The 123 ignition is using a map sensor if I understand correctly , so a strong vacuum signal would be best.

Didn't you post the specs provided by the engine builder? Why do you need those specs?

It's a little more than just flipping the crossmember-there is some fabrication involved. Biggest advantage to the BW T-5 is the unlimited choices of shifters. The trans shifts very precisely and notchy at the same time with a quality shifter. The gearing is not a big deal unless you are racing and are specifically looking for close ratio performance. Disadvantages: dedicated DS that is mated to the proper diff yoke. Some fabrication needed.

I had the same issue with hoses from Z Therapy. I hope they stopped selling those since they collapse with heat. I had to put the originals back on. No other suggestions . I might have some extras - I will look

You are just bound to use that lever for something. How about a slow release to an NO2 bottle😵

Certain ZX modules have the retard option. Basically two sets of connection tabs. I believe it pulls 8-10 degrees from timing! It might be the 12-92 module. Other than that it is the same advance numbers .

2010 Zcon was HOT! I don't care and I will b there if it kills me getting my car back on the road again

You can do the old blow thru test to see if the needle is closing off the flow.
-
So when you opened up lid on that float was it high? Make sure your needle and seat are sealing. Make sure the needle assembly is tight in the housing and fuel is not bypassing around the threads

Got to love that sound:)

Very nice indeed

We won't hold the jersey part against you. Welcome

Digging into it for a known problem or just thinking refresh? What's your experience? If your asking how long it takes to remove the head then I would assume you have little Z experience Like Zed said- if you run into anymore then a refresh it will take time to find an experienced L machinist. If it's just bearings and rings and crank polish - it shouldn't take long. Usually it's the head that will cost the most time and money.

So here are some pics of the cylinder bores. Also pics of my Chevy Sonic pick-up truckLOL

Usually the harness is okay except for areas subject to heat or direct weather. I would clean and replace only where necessary . Blades or pins I tried cleaning with sandpaper or mini file to get fresh surface- the dielectric grease after that
-
Just the fact that he e-mailed me back right away was a plus in my book . I've been waiting a week or so for Schneider to call me. PM me for a cell number, I hate the messenger on this site.

Cliff, Recently discovered DatsunZfiberglass . The guy makes it all it seems, but the website kin of sucks. I did e-mail him and he did respond. Might be worth a look

Well the block and pistons are at the machinist. A cursory inspection by him and he said I had nothing to worry about. He agreed to measure everything out and thought a good hone and new rings and I would be good to go. I pulled the crank out of my original motor and going to replace the crank in this motor in order to eliminate the speedi sleeve on the rear seal. I guess you would say I am starting over again from the beginning. This time I will do all the assembly work. It's time for me to learn how to do this and I feel pretty confident I can do it. I haven't heard from Schneider on the progress of my cam. I miss driving my Z

ummmm, not that I know from first hand experience or anything, but I heard you can get two rubber marks when launching. -
I have to agree with Carl, it's American greed that dictates how stuff is made. If the vendor says' make it as cheaply as possible' , that's what the Chinese manufacture will do. It's the guy ordering the product that should be setting an assuring the quality of the product.

That's funny Charles. That kind of LSD may or may not get you better handling of stuff-

Ummm- doesn't Nissan still sell those seals?

Performance Q's: How to get the most out of my L24
madkaw replied to metalmonkey47's topic in Open Discussions
Kind of weird the mn47 head gave such low CR numbers . The pistons should take effort to push up, but try some trans fluid and see what it does. How do you just find a mn47 head in the junk yard. I've been trying to run into one of those myself
