Thanks heaps will do, also some cooler plugs maybe? BP7ES ?

Ok so i did a bit of fiddling and so forth, did timing and fuel etc etc to get it to where i think its ok. Here is the two plugs i took out after a drive, taken from number 2 and 5 cylinder counting from front to back of motor. Cylinders does not seam to ping, but hard to hear over exhaust. I think black/brown dots is BAD no? Let me know your thoughts

Yeah i went over wiring last night, so far, no miss, like i said the ballast resistor had dodgy wiring, which perhaps caused it, so far, drove into work all good.

Thanks mate, perhaps, i will be doing so over the weekend,

yeah i love to drive it, if not, its the mighty 120y coupe or the patrol. LOL. HAy, you know anyone with triples for sale in Tasmania. I could certainly use your knowledge on my zd to get it to run right. Who in Hobart is best to tune the datsun carbs etc

Also, the timing marks are 20 deg at 1000 rpm it wont really idle lower steady, no idea why. if i set it to say 7, it simply does not pull and brakes down a lot, simply will not drive, ideas

so i went through the whole ignition, wd40 everything, re-gaped and checked wiring., I found that the ballast resistor wiring was cracked at the terminal wire thus when hot it could have broke down. The coil seams nice and cool now to touch which i don't recall being last time. Took car for a drive,seams ok bu down on torque so spark must be less. I am installing a brand new L24E dizzy from my brothers old car he has, its a genuine Nissan one so that might help. In regards to the carburetors, they say SU on them but who knows.

Bloody old school, LOL.

Ok so, when cold no miss, when warm miss started again, fcuck it. Dream to drive with no miss. Also when warm engine backfires/burbles a lot more on decel then when cold.

YEah points dizzy, swapping to a brand spanking new L24E dizzy from my brother wrecked skyline on the weekend. I am assuming L24E dizzy same as 280 ZX one? Not too sure about the shaft, will check tonight. SO thinking more ignition then fuel?

Heres a video, particularity bad today. PLEASE HELP ME

Zedman240 The car coughs and shudders like instant stop, i will see if i can get it on the phone and then post it up on youtube. I have no idea about Su and the like, other then they are 3 bolt. I will do my best and thanks for the assistance

If i run it at 7-9 deg, it pig roots and does not run at all, completely dead, missfire, pig root, not reving etc. Don't forget its a L28 block with aE88 head and cams of some sort. Seams 17 deg is sweet spot, clean revving and takes of like a bat out of hell

Linton, you sound like my wife. LOL well i got it as is with shit load of spares for 10K so i think its a bargain..?

OK so worse this morning, thinking its timing, really is a miss, like nothing else, however, if you slam your foot down, it clears away, wander if its a lean miss? Ok need some help. I do notice it seams to drop of in performance after 5.5k, like it hits the wall and slows down, wander if tits the carbs.

Ok so my new z has a weird miss, not always there. so back ground a bit. Apparently the engine is an ex targa prepped motor, looks like it runs a L28 block with an early E88 head and flat tops. So far i need to get on top of a weird miss that happens, like ignition but literally the whole ignition is new, all of it, new coil, leads, sparks, points, rotor, capacitor you name it, all new. One thing i found, it runs like 18 deg static timing by the timing light, i think it might be re curved dizzy when the engine use to run triples? The miss is like when whole car looses instant power cut, like ignition but could be fuel as the motor use to run triples not runs round tops. It seams not to rev all way out to 8K, seams flat from 6K onwards. What should i look at. I did check the plugs, clean but a bit lean i think, i have three bolt early carbs, how do i richen them up? I have tried to do search here but im usless.

what do you recon its worth and what i should have paid for it?

all things com to those who wait. Its a local call which was stored for a long time before resto and has not been driven much at all, odo log books indicate 38K on body. I have a matching single owner 120y coupe which is sooo nice to drive as a daily

Well it has been 5 years search but finally i found my zed. Ok so its not al original but more on that later. Is a two owner 1976 2+2 with an ex Targa race prepped L28 with early E88 head and a cam. It use to run triples but has stock SUs on it. The car has been resprayed after a restoration and is immaculate for age. I have been through the whole car and its just superb. I know it has the wrong bonnet but hay, so be it. It goes like scalded cat and over all supper happy seeing as i paid what i believe to be a bargain price. I have been over and under the car and it has no rust issues, original pristine floors and rails, guards etc, even the original rubber mat near the filler cap. Even has original books and tools. So anyhow, just saying hi and i am back. So now the Z will join the ranks of my little 120y coupe in the garage.

yeah i bloddy missed it, BUGGGAAA

whats the final damage to the wollet. How well did the paint job come up. How did benny go with it

Hi Mate It's wog, from hobart. How much did ben charge for teh soda blast and how good did it all come out in the end. Who is doing the painting for you aswell, looks ok, what sought of pricing are we talking about just to see where i need to be. Ta
