    Best option to limit any chances of a vacuum leak, grab a brake booster inlet manifold hose connection from a manual car and replace that with the auto one with the smaller pipe coming off it. If you don't seal it right, you could have a vac leak from there. Or just get an oxy torch and fold and weld it shut.

    They are getting very rare so there arent many chances anyone has any spare they want to let go of. Keep an eye out on evilbay or the forums...

    AC Compressor + muffler have gone, still have blower motor and heater box if anyone needs one.
  5. Zedman240®
    +2 for that one.

    Added a muffler if anyone needs a nice looking one with a stainless droopy that sounds great.

    If the car has just been started then stopped over and over without being driven, I'd say plugs will be fouled. When that happens there is virtually no spark then when you try to start, it floods very easily. Remove the plugs, with a fine wire brush give them a good clean the try again. Make sure they are not wet with fuel; it helps to get the plug ends hot over a gas burner so when more fuel lands on the plugs, it quickly evaporates off.

    Give Centre Rd wreckers a go; sometimes they do have manual Skylines/Bluebirds there with I'm sure the same thread filler plugs. Only cost you a $1 (entry fee )

    Signwriters do it on a daily basis so I think it can. Not sure on the finish though..

    First problem I see are those carbs! Throw them into the nearest river... or a Viking type funeral. Once you have decent carbs, you will be making the fault finding alot easier.

    You'll have to move to Melbourne; the ZED capital of Australia (I'm sure many on here will agree )

    Welcome Mark, Whereabouts will you be living in Australia?
  14. Zedman240®
    Is it popping out from the carbs or exhaust? Check for any moisture in the dizzy cap..

    Edited first post with some other stuff for "free to good home" and if they can be picked up asap that would be great!

    Congrats! Was that the partially stripped zed from St Albans?
  17. Zedman240®
    There there now...its freakin cold everywhere in this great state of ours! Bring on the 18' weather!!!!

    Whoever wired up the car, did they use the original wiring or did they make their own? On the zeds, they have a large green wire running to the rear for the electric pump; check if that wire has been used or something else. That green wire goes from the rear where the tank is to behind the heater control panel. I've used that wire many times when I've fitted EFI to my last 2 zeds.

    Welcome and congrats on the free score!

    Post a pic of the old carbies you have to see what you have to play with...and your zed too..
  21. Zedman240®
    I might take the zed for a spin that night... Cam McConville actually runs a Jax Quickfit tyres in Moorabbin (Opposite Safeway). When I get my wheel alignment done, that's where I'm going... Been told he has some good mechanics there..

    Welcome... All our cars upset us from time to time but it's important to keep going and not give up. Best advice is to locate some 240Z early Hitatchi carbs and get them setup properly. Next thing is an electronic 280ZX distributor. The chokes on those carbs work quite well. I'll be moving to Pakenham soon (Feb/March 2011) so in the future, if you need a hand, I can try to help.

    One thing I can't undertand - some people's dream car would be some HSV thing...why when you can have this?
  24. Zedman240®
    Make sure you take the Auszcar banner and display it on the fence near the camera's...you want max exposure!
  25. Zedman240®
    No probz re: the bumper....That zed was such a bargain! Its going to be one clean +2 when your done with it.
