That’s a crap shoot . Not sure if you’ll pass smog because that will probably change the way it runs . And be ready for a fight . One might have fell out , but I bet the others won’t 🙂 .

Help me identify these Rota RB wheel colors
madkaw replied to Silver-240Z's topic in Wheels & Brakes
I believe they are hyper black . They have colors that are close to each other . I believe mine are hyper black . But when I ordered new caps in hyper black they looked darker . So maybe I’m no help - lol

Took the tires to get balanced . They said 3 of 4 wheels were not running true - bent .

Well this is a timely thread . Just had a customers car come back for an electric power steering install . Drove it 30 miles on the highway and the wheel shake was terrible. I think I replaced most of the suspension parts up front . I still have things to check , but it has the original steelies with newer 14” tires . My money is the wheels and tires . I’m going to swap the wheels on my car to his and see how that goes and go from there

Not apparent because you couldn’t tell from what direction ? Was it coming from the rear hatch area ? Have you sealed that hatch panel ? It can be tough to tell . Usually if you don’t see it right away it will make it hard to determine exactly where it comes from

Go buy a fog machine . I think I made a thread about this . Get your shop vac and tape seal around a window that is cracked open . Turn on the machine and get in the car with a flashlight . I suspect it the panel on the hatch . That vinyl panel needs to sealed with RTV is something . The low pressure will pull fumes through your hatch latch and around that panel . If you have had that panel off I bet that’s the source . The fog machine will tell all And I’ve been driving around in a Z with a Z story exhaust - it’s not the exhaust system

I’m running 350z seats in my car . I couldn’t do the stock seats for my back . I think they would fit about anyone . I’m almost 6’2 but very thin . Bolstering is more than a stock seat . Adaptation of seat rails is required

Not sure what advantage the MSD would be with the 123 - seems redundant . I wouldn’t waste time on porting the intake . There’s very little to port and the runners can handle 230hp as is 🙂 Advancing the cam can be done at anytime . I’d spring for a Kameari adjustable while the US dollar is strong . It makes adjustments so easy . Advancing can bump compression which will help torque .
-
The 123 ignition could help with performance and to help pass emissions - IMHO . A fully programmable ignition curve would allow a more aggressive power curve without giving too much vacuum advance . Your engine/ head combo is not the greatest for performance . Added compression would make a stronger case for adding a programmable dizzy . Cheap way to add a little power is to advance the cam to hole 2 or 3 . This would add noticeable power/ torque down low . Once again this would be better if you had full control of ignition . A cam and programmable ignition would be best bang for buck

Can you guys get away with a 123 dizzy ?
-
I don’t know guys - I’m not going to try and figure out Nissans engineering , but the larger capacity of the piston assembly in the BMC needs to go to the front brakes . My intention now is to get Classic Tube the correct info for when folks order lines . I made them aware that the early BMC’s are not readily available and most would be going to a later BMC - which means they need different lines than what’s in the early kit .
-
Why do I think F goes to the front lines ?
-
Whatever is done the F of the MC should go to the front brake lines- and R should go to the rear lines - regardless of the reservoir size .

More than likely they should both be n54- 6 replies

Okay- I got the word from my parts expert . This probably old news or non-news but I’ve just ran into this and was having difficult time finding the correct info 240z 69-8/71 used first series of BMC - E4602 plumbed F-R 8/71 - 6/72 uses the E 8702 series BMC - it is plumbed R-F 7/72-7/73 also uses the W8702 but the safety switch is moved so it’s plumbed a lot different . If anyone has contrary info I’d be glad to hear. If not I am going to notify Classic Tube
-
If the larger reservoir is up front then more than likely the front brakes worked off of that side. So the lines to the warning switch would have to run differently - correct . The early lines stayed separated where as the later the lines cross - because the warning switch stayed the same ?
-
The MC seals are all oriented the correct way. The Nissan unit matches up with the aftermarket fine - see pic . So I reached out to Classic Tube since it seems their kit doesn’t have the correct line routing MC to warning switch correctly . They show 3 kits by year . The first kit supposedly goes from 1969- 6/72 . The second kit goes from 6/72 until the 280z?. Am I wrong that the earliest BMC had front and rear oriented differently and thus had the lines routed differently to the warning switch? If so - when did the MC change ? Classic tube wants to get this right also .
-
That IS the issue . It seems that EPDM O-rings are what’s best for brake fluid . Then you need the exact size . I believe the seal need to be 6x10x2
-
You are correct - I should use the proper name .
