Well not a lot happening with this atm - I'VE JUST BEEN DRIVING IT!!!
For the last few weeks however Mike (http://www.spyderautomobiles.com.au/) & myself have been trying to diagnose a full throttle/high RPM miss.
We'd gone through the setting on the Wolf ECU a few times & while 'tweaking' the maps improved running, it didn't totally get rid of the miss...
Back to square one & this evening Mike decided to check the fuel pressure to see if the pumps weren't keeping up, causing them to simply run out of juice.
We got a bit of a shock however when the gauge shot up to 3.2bar while the engine was running!
Looks like I'll be needing to get a FPR soon...
Next we checked to see if the new fuel filter were blocked - no dice, it was A-OK. Hrmmm...
Next the Ign. coil was swapped out for a good 2nd hand one Mike has under his bench, as the original one looked rather tired.
BINGO! I took it for a blast up the road & not even a hiccup!
It feels a lot more livelier now too, so the old coil had really seen better days...
And tonight (because I'm a lonely hermit) I spent an hour or so removing the centre console, cleaning out the half ton of cigarette ash from under it, cleaning the console & installing the new gear stick trim I got of Rev. Dave (as the old original was looking a bit sad).
Thanks heaps Dave!
A worthwhile improvement!
Oh & how to fit a 260Z gearbox (later 71B) into a early 240Z without butchering the centre console?
Easy take to the shifter with an Oxy torch & put a few bends in it!
