DatsunZsRule Posted December 16, 2007 Share #37 Posted December 16, 2007 I think a locking fuel cap should be a priority on the holiday gift list for your Z man With gas prices the way they are, fuel theft like that is going to happen more and more.

WingZr0 Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share #40 Posted December 20, 2007 Or you could just add this feature to your Z http://www.hotrodsandclassics.net/FunnyVideos/openingtrunkmonkey5.htm Yeah, I was watching that Manswers show on Spike TV the other day and saw that guy who built that car in South Africa with that flame thrower on it Now that'd work. Jus like the narrator said, "BURRRN B*TCH" !! iN OTHER NEWZ I got the car with new battery as the other one gad a short in it. Smoked alot of white clouds with the gasket sealant which cleared up. Pulled all the wires off the Spark Plugs one at a time to see if all the cylinders were going. Number 6 now gets gas, all of 'em but #4. Made sure all FI Ports were free of gasket sealant before installing them so I know it's blocked (AGAIN ) Checked for spark and was getting spark. Changed #4 Spark Plug and still no difference. Changed the FI injector connector plug and still nothing so I believe #4 Fuel Injector is now fried :surprised Timing chain sound loose (rattle like). She however is running wayyyy smother and starts on one key turn and doesn't die when first turned on no more. Shes goes to 1,100 RPM and stays there with no hesitation. Still sound a bit rough so a complet tune up and check over gonna happen for to long afther tranny shop. Hopefully with good wheater I can do my comperssion check this weakend and know more with that. On better newz my Performance GT Gran Prix 215/60/R14 raised white letter tires came in yesterday and they look AWESOME , so still making progress :):) ~Z~ Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/26413-the-state-of-things/?page=4#findComment-231835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingZr0 Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share #41 Posted December 28, 2007 Did some more fine tunning and got her running smoother still #4 Fuel Injector is still gone but new one will be in at NAPA in the morning. Beck Arnely brand was recalled BTW at NAPA anyway. Check for exhaust leeks and saw the EGR Tube was puffing white at the exhaust manifold so I tightend that up right quick! Everything else looks and sounds good. Ran a Compression Test also. Let the engine run about 5 minutes are so till the temp guage read halfway and got the readings of Clyinder/ PSI 1- 145psi 2- 145 3- 145 4- 150 5- 145 6- 145 I understand it should be around 170 PSI or so. Is my readings from not using the oil trick to get a higher compression reading or is the numbers I got OK? Keep in mind I only desconected the starter selonoid and went from there. ~Z~ one day at a time ....

sblake01 Posted December 28, 2007 Share #42 Posted December 28, 2007 Those readings are fairly even and pretty normal for a car with 100000+ miles. You should worry when one cylinder is way off like 80 or something like that.

dogma420 Posted December 31, 2007 Share #43 Posted December 31, 2007 if you use the 'oil trick' to get a higher compression reading, that would defeat the purpose of seeing what your actual compression reading is. The oil trick would tell you if the 145 vs. new was 100% due to the rings, vs. valve leaks. Your compression of 145-150 is just fine though, imo., for over 100k.
