count me in please

hi gav, sorry forgot to mention he wants the slats not the mesh grill.

Hi Steve No I haven't tested it, just assumed that it's old and while I was at it I should replace given that it's not too expensive, but I might just give it a test, when I drop the tank. I googled around that the fuel sender requires some sort of earthing or if the tank strap is part of the earth, I can't remember sorry. I should look at the haynes manual. I didn't know there was another one, this is the filter next to where the inspection light would be, driver side of the engine bay.

hi guys looking for a grill for a z for a mate, would like one that is straight and not mangled, can be old and dirty etc, as plans to have it sanded down and painted. Prefer vic but if you can post that's fine. cheers, Phil

I got this from the shops a while ago http://www.kbs-coatings.com.au/product/auto-fuel-tank-sealer-kit/ my fuel gauge doesn't work and I was thinking I should buy a new sender for it and rewire it just to be sure as I don't want to take out the fuel tank again. how often does the fuel float sender unit fail on zeds?

heres a picture of the filter, this is about 4 weeks old I've only driven 40km at most since it was replaced. I'll do a few things on the list of stuff PB has listed, the carbs were recently cleaned out it's pristine now. the fuel pump is new as well. The tank was recently drained when I replaced the first fuel filter, it was filled with brown stuff. I am going to drop the tank and have to treated with this box I got at home that I've bought a while ago. The downside was that it takes about 10 days to set and cure, which is fine, going to order a few things like senders as well.

thanks guys, I will post a pic of the filter once I remove it tomorrow, do you think the hard lines needs to be cleaned or replaced?

$9k on the efi setup alone? Or was that.including the motor build.

Car was parked outside for about 10 years before I got it, was just sitting under a car port and not running.

Mechanical pump at the moment guys, a brand new one too. I do have an endless amount of rust. I might get cracking then. cheers

g`day everyone. warning long post. My car's been developing a miss/stalling (possibly fuel related) problem lately, I noticed it one in a blue moon when I drive but all my drives been quite short ~30 mins. SOmething I did notice but thought meh maybe it's old and carby etc. Today driving on the freeway (nice day) car started to lose power, was cruising about 50 mph in 5th so I down shifted to 4th, 3rd etc to keep the revs up as soon as I clutched in car stalls, so I moved to the side and thought f this is going to be annoying it's sunday. Popped the bonnet and had a look, nothing out of the ordinary. waited a few minutes called a few mates to see who is around, I don't have a fuel gauge but had filled about 50 litres 30km ago so it's probably not an empty tank. Tried starting the car and it runs after 20 secs of cranking. all good get off the freeway at altona exit and start to head home. car felt nothing until I got to about 1km from home, same problem loss of power but this time I can pull over to the small side streets. Waited another minute and started cranking start idles and revs in neutral like usual so moved off and 500m later loss of power. again did the same thing but now the thing stalls and takes a lot longer to start, eventually she got me home and it idles all good when it's park at home. Pain in the ass. So... what could be wrong? When I had the carbs rebuilt, I had changed the fuel filter it was filled with rusty brown bits, the fuel filter was only 6 months old, during that 6 months I've probably managed to drive about 15km, the last few weeks I've done about 30-40km, I haven't had the change to check the filter, I only just got home but I have a feeling it might be the filter again. It's one of those ryco white plastic ones, I can see the fuels a bit yellow in through the plastic. I know there is water and rust in the tank, I had it drained 3 weeks ago and the fuel was yellow like pee. I plan to take the tank out, change the fuel sender (gauge never works) change the seals and get the tank coated in this tank painting/cleaning kit. I want to also look at changing the fuel like it might be old and rusted (not sure?) so my questions are: Would a rusty/clogged filter cause problems as described above? Should I change the solid fuel lines? or are there other ways to fix or ensure the lines are ok, physically from looking at them when the car is on the hoist they look ok. if I should change the lines anyways, what should I buy? I did a few searches and people mentioned bundy lines? what size / length do I need to buy? are there special tools required? should I get an electric fuel pump while I'm at it and get rid of the vacuum fuel pump? thanks for reading. edit, car is a 240z with an L24 su carbs stock. I am looking at moving to an L28 triple 40mm set up in the next 3 months

thanks mate! going to be broke now (again)

hi guys, i've search around for a bit and haven't really found an answer to this. would struts off a 260z that are 55mm fit onto 240z, I've found an azc sleeve kit for a decent price but it's 55mm and have access to a spare set of 260z struts which will be sectioned. I'm just not sure if this fits my 240z, i want to ask before buying the sleeve kit. there are lots of info of 240z struts into 260z but not the other way around. cheers phil

that horn pad looks great

hi all just thought I would share my experiences with MSA as I placed an order with them over a week ago. I just checked out the cart on their website, then when you select the country of your address it will then place the order on hold as someone in their sales area needs to provide a quote based on the location etc. I got an email pretty much the next day from jeff and he asked me which class of mail did I wanted to use, one was faster than the other (more cost ofcouse). took about 3 days to process as in, from my payment (instant paypal) to me getting a tracking number which was only a e-notification to say that the order is ready to be picked up by USPS's people. I just got an update to say my package was at the auspost sorting facilities so will be here soon. It was pretty easy, but compared to z car depo their comms response and also delivery is much slow, but MSA has every party under the sun compared to z car depo. hope that helps you guys.

yep I hear ya... new owner called up old owner, arranged a time and negotiated a price and took it home. I drove this car around the block yesterday arvo, the owner dropped it off at our mate's workshop for a once over, clean car got some small thing to tidy up but he has some great plans for it and it will be regularly driven.

what do you mean?

ill be there at classic japan, but will probably go with a few friends who all resides in the western suburbs

nar not yet gav, my mate has spoken to the owner and he is going to be there at 5pm when the person is free to take it home.
