Today's instalment is a special one. Yesterday I reinstalled the injectors and gave a quick test with manifold off to see if they were firing fuel. It was a no go. So back to a lot of internet r

Resurrection time, well in a few months. I just booked tickets to go home over Christmas this year.  I wonder if I will brave the cold to go out and work on the 240....

Some fairy tales start with a fairlady in waiting. My princess is no different. And now I'm in Seattle for just a quick visit, I needed at least to pay her a quick visit and a little attention.

So, I suppose it is no surprise that every hose in the fuel tank ventilation and return system is borked! 40 year old hoses don't like the gasoline any more.



And of course it is every size from 1/2", 5/8", 3/4" and small 3/8" sizes!



Oh well. Now to drop the tank and replace all 'dem hoses.

Updates:

5 different size hoses obtained and working on dropping the fuel tank to change out the hoses.

Brake fluid leak is coming from the right rear brake sleeve/actuator. Ordered from AutoZone here. 40 year old car, obscure part...

...they have it and it will be here tomorrow! For $47! Oh how I miss working on cars in the U.S.

In other news, Mom found our old book stash in Dad's library. How's this for gold stash?

So, today was a mixed bag. Went to get some parts and lunch with sister. Caught in bad traffic everywhere and lost a lot of the day.

I've just about completed the battery mounting and topped up the brakes and bled.

Tomorrow it goes on a trailer and to the muffler shop for a new zorst system. Will be at 3" or a twin 2 1/4. Unsure which until they have a look see.

Nice work Eric, air dam looks sweet, and I bloody hate America with its parts and prices, when you bring her home you should fill every inch of the container with parts, both old and new, and lots of muscle car and Harley bits, you should end up with a nice little earn.

Your airdam is the same design I'll get for mine with the air ducts, but I can only find fibreglass ones here.

Can you pick me up a urethane one while you're over there & bend it in your carry on luggage for me? :laugh:

Haha! That's why I decided to buy it and do it. They are about $200 on ebay with free shipping to the U.S. I checked to ship to AUS was >$1k! But that was just the one vendor.

Off to the muffler shop now.

are you intending to get road rego for it when you eventually bring it downunder? You'll have to meet noise and emissions ADR for the engine swap/exhaust

In any case hope you get as much done as you planned. It never goes to plan all the time with these cars I'm finding heheh

Would like to road rego and will have to do so much when I do ship it. Will have to see about everything. Don't imagine it to be too loud though. These older V6's have pretty crappy exhaust manifolds that mesh all the gasses together. So it shouldn't be too loud.

Not sure what it will be like on emissions. But if it just has to meet emissions for an 84 model year like the motor then shouldn't be a problem. Motor is stock as a rock!

What a long day. Pushing a non-running car up and down a trailer is bad nuf. Helping brother push his non-running car up and down driveway and trailer = double bad! Yup, my brother's '92 300ZX found it's way from my sister's place to his place. Two brothers with non-running Z cars (Mine is just Grandpa Z at 20 years older than his).

Anyways, the shop took a lot longer than expected but I'm really stoked about the result. He managed to tuck a full 3" exhaust up nice and tidy up into the well. Remember, this car originally came with 1 1/2" or something like that! And I've only ever seen a 2 1/2" aftermarket kit.

      Swapped rb25de neo how to get the gear indication on the dash to work

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      OK, so all I can suggest is that - if you have all the parts, and you have all the wiring looms, and you have all the electronic modules, then....it really is just a wiring problem. You likely have a damaged wire, pin, etc, somewhere.

      Getting lug nuts "gutentight" with no torque wrench

      Yup, bought this bad boy and hopefully it will be ready to pickup today. Had $5 credit on top of it so it worked out really well!

      Yeah it is really until until you get a feel for it....then it is easy. Which is no use to you really. I'd buy that torque wrench. One thing from sure, many (most?) tyre shots overtighten the f**k out of wheel nuts, so don't worry if they were tighter when you tried to take them off compared to when you do them up. I've had some crazy tight ones come back from shops, quite apart from the potential damage to the thread, I can't see a smaller person taking the wheel off on the side of the road
