I decided to look at the fuel aspect of this since I wasn't getting anywhere with electrics. Before checking fuel pressure, wanted to see if fuel was getting into the carbs when accel pressed. Took...

Yeah, at that price I think you'd be better looking at cars in Japan!

Thanks a lot for all your help Zed Head! I ended up taking a step back and deciding to check the spark plugs - pulled a plug and tested it - all was well. However the plug seemed fouled again though...

Thanks for that. I have been prodding around today - 3 things

1. The distributor cap wasn't on tightly - one of the clips had broken! Tied it up wiht a cable tie to check if this was hte issue,...

Thanks Zed Head. I measured voltage at coil - 10V. I then unplugged the wires from the coil and measured resistance - seemed to settle at 4.5 Ohms

Hi all
Now that I've removed the faulty immobiliser the car will crank easily, however I still am having trouble starting it. Appreciate any advice!

After cleaning and regapping the spark plugs...

Thanks guys, will definitely consider that as a future modification.

Meanwhile, I decided to clean up the old ignition surround. Anoraks may spot that this isn't a stock 240Z part. Must have been...

8. I carefully took apart all the electrical tape holding the thing together and tagged all the wires before cutting the immobiliser loose. As you can see it was a bit of a mess under...

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.

1. Checked battery. Good healthy 12.5V. The +ve terminal had electrical tape all over it as some kind of protection. I replaced the terminal anyway as it was...

My Z has got some starter woes - basically most of the time it will click and seem to only crank for half a second. If you turn the key off and keep trying, after a few tries it will crank over...

Hi there ...
Some of you will remember me - I sold my first 240Z over 10 years ago, but as many said, I knew I'd be back!

I just picked up my car yesterday, shipped from the other side of...

Interesting, looks like you've got a Japanese SWB 'belt-buckle' grill on it

Here's one

LOVE your work!

Hi guys
So I was up in QLD over the weekend and decided it was time to clear out the parents' garage of all the 240K bits. Sorry about the picture quality - didn't have much time! Free stuff is...

I saw this in the background of the video fo the 260C...

260C looks the goods too!

That red car seems to be more an exception than the rule. Gunmetal grey (probably matching colour AND finish of tail light beaver panel) is definitely much more common for original GT-Rs.

I'd be...

^ good pic! Shows a lot... love all the blanking plates and the simple vinyl over the transmission tunnel.

Here are some pics for consideration ...

I think red could look very neat with some work equips or dark grey watanabes

Silver is great - lets you show off the surf line being a metallic. You...

Couple more things ... the tacho and oil pressure guages are different - tacho redlines at 7500 and oil guage is 0-5-10
