Well the problem for nice triple set ups comes with disabling the vac advance however 20 degrees at cold start is tough on the motor... pulling the choke lever and "retard" lever will make for better starting.

Mainland China factories can fake anything. Beware. It usually lasts only long enough for you to buy it and try once.

Why does it advise to shorten all valve guides at the bottom of the ad?

Install a lever next to the choke and wire it to the vacuum advance connection inside the distributor (remove the vacuum advance canister). The next step is to adjust the cable so that it swings the full excursion of the advance. The final step is to set the nominal advance with the lever in the middle. In theory this will allow you to set the timing in the middle then push it to dial up more advance for cruising on a highway and pull it to reduce advance for starting the car. I was trying to come up with a way to increase fuel efficiency then this eureka moment fell upon me . I think I hear Lazeum smiling You could also make the lever into an ejection seat activator.

Maybe add our forum to the external links on the wiki page or ad a hyperlink in the body tot a new entry called "Z Car Clubs" for the world

also disconnect the choke cables when trouble shooting.

From the video: - you are running on your rear carb only. Q. What needles do you have? Experiment: Try dropping the front jet down enough so that the car will run when you disable the rear carb... if it is at ~2.5 turns down and there is enough air to chug along then your front carb is fine. If this is the case then focus on the rear carb.

I like seeing you use the tap set young grasshopper

Colder could be for higher compression to reduce knock/pre-detonation

On dyno sheet, B7ES is a colder plug than stock BPR6ES.

Nice hobby Guy... you are the patron saint of Z's in giving so many new life

I had one of the actron multimeters that read rpm from coil but it failed like most modern junk: Amazon.com: Actron CP7677 Automotive TroubleShooter - Digital Multimeter and Engine Analyzer: Automotive I now use a timing light with tach feature that reads off a plug: Timing Light with Digital Tachometer You could this type of device with a mark on the damper: Digital Laser Tachometer | Princess Auto

May have to watch any vvt system that is controlled by computer.

I spliced in connectors from one harness to another where required. donor harness 280z recipient 240z Solder and heat shrink did the trick.

Nope, it is to rant about Chinese fake crap that wastes our time trouble shooting. They might as well have used a piezo buzzer in a match box with the word "pump" on it.... as it would function the same..... but they have managed to polish turds to better fool us. Maybe this will put it in perspective Maybe it was faecal bacteria that caused the pump to fail .....but hey its cool though...who could expect more from a place were "everybody tries to swindle everybody else" (quote from vid above).

The series one was in excellent condition. No rust in tank and well maintained. The pump failed but kept buzzing the same way it sounded when it worked. I put the filter in with the clacker for good practice. (The junk Chinese one had a filter so when I pulled it, I pulled its filter too).

Knock yourself out. I wasted a day because the car came with this junk: http://www.amazon.com/ss/customer-reviews/B000BWE4RC/ref=/181-9292704-5066453?_encoding=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0

I worked for a Chinese company for 4.5 years.... I saw the anchor babies and the statistical improbability that all first born were male ~ 20 in a row... all born in the USA too. I know business owners whose businesses were taken from them by the Govt. and others who must pay gangsters to leave them alone. The mainland Chinese culture is very different and the formation of people who live within it is different. I resent being called xenophobic as I have good friends all over the world including China. Sadly many had their parents taken from them when they were young by the Govt. The country is one messed up place that worships money and relationships for advancing in the quagmire for the most part... humans, air, water, quality, honesty, law, faking do not matter much. Sadly for us, this environment produces a lot of junk and fake crap that fools us fools.
