Where do I start? Too many angles. Too many useless creases and surface features. The chopped roof & greenhouse. The lack of outward view. The lack of heritage.

And that's just a start.

Other then the orange coating, those plugs look good. Why do you think you are running rich? I also see you are running BPR5ES-II instead of the BPR8ED-II. Was this to mask a rich condition?

The original problem could have simply been bad/old fuel. Now it could be anything.

In my experience, when all else fails, start from scratch. I would suggest a rebuild kit from ZTherapy and the...

Not true. I set idle, and then I check everything with a fast idle (3,000 rpm). Generally after slow idle is set, any change for fast idle is in the 1/16 to 1/8 turn range.

One more step to add...

16. Get out Colortune (or similar device) and match the flow based on combustion.

Like many on these forums, I've been using a synchrometer for 30 years. And...

I've had batteries in the past that have showed good voltage but lacked any meaningful amperage. I believe it has to do with broken plates at the terminal post. With a broken plate there is no way...

What is the condition of the Grose Valves? You might have one that doesn't fully close, allowing an over-rich condition.

I'm amazed at how similar these cars are. In my opinion they share similar lines and profile. But driving them back-to-back reveals that the similarity is more then skin deep.

Well I thought I'd conclude my own thread. Today I purchased a BRZ Limited in WR Blue. I just couldn't get past the telepathic steering.

Much cooler then a beat-up Civic. Obviously we think your son is a very cool 17 year old.

Good story...needs photos. It's always great to see a young person get Z sickness.

Quick question...who is pallnet? There is no such user by that name on this forum.

Zombie thread.

Time, UV light and the eye of the painter/mixer all affect color. Your best bet is to bring it to a paint shop so it can be color matched.

When you say it would not crank, do you mean that the starter will not engage? If that is the case I would look towards the fusible link or the ignition switch.

I like your 280Z....it seems to be in very good condition. Nice RX too.

It's like buying from Rock Auto, because chances are...you are buying from Rock Auto.

Amazon doesn't stock any autoparts (or TV's, cameras, computers, dishware...), they are a subscription...

From day-one the S30 was available with a 5-speed, so with a 5-speed it would be period correct.

I just wouldn't be North America period correct.

I think we all miss our first Z. I'd pay dearly to have mine back...but 1985 was a long time ago :)

I find this funny...looking for fresh advice on a 40 year old car...

Anyway, it sounds like a dead short somewhere in the electrical system, possibly in the ammeter itself. I'd get multimeter on...

Almost any aftermarket radio will have a USB/iPod connection. In fact, most now have Bluetooth...no wires required.

How is it that I haven't clicked into this thread until today? Great project and documentation.

I'm kind of partial to 115 myself.
