Serously it was though, yesterday i picked up the clutch alignment tool and retorqued pressure plate. The align was off by quite a bit but not land slide margin and shoved that big black tool in and out until it fit just fine.

Unfortunately I was attacking this alone making things quite difficult although ive done it by myself once before. Thing is you forget how much a transmission feels over time from hassling it up while multitasking like dragging a jackstand underneath it or pumping the jack while making sure it doesnt roll off and crush your face.

Then i finally got it past the pressure plate making things alittle easier after about an hour. It just gets harder after this because usually you hafta lift the back and front at the same time to get it leveled with the engine…………well that just wasnt happening after 3 hours i called it a night..(3:00am)

Or so i thought.. After this attempt though it just got worse the clutch fork landed on my face, while getting up hit my head on the framerail and then to top it off my foot slipped off the gate which resulted in some cuts going down my leg. As it was about to be clobbering time, hell even a destrucrive hulk moment,  i lost track of time 4:45am my phone screen showed.  Well fuck it then this aint happening by myself and try again tomorow with more than just me.

btw the shower burned had smal cuts errrrwhere.

This morning before work decided to grab my last solex adapter fitting and  3ft -6 braided hose i even rewarded myself with “WHORE-chata” as my girlfriend pronounces it and a awesome burrito. Cool thing is all i need now is the special t fitting i found with -6/8 inlet and 3x -6 outlets, -6/8 male fitting  probably another 3ft -6 braided hose for my system to be complete which is awesome since the same place i got the adapters has mostly what i need other than the special t-fittings. Tonight will be round two with the transmission and maybe test fit all my fittings and adapters after.

Ill leave you with some japanese nostalgia for ya, enjoy and im “THAT ONE 240Z” you’ll know what im talking about soon enuff. Seriously need get “those” friends who have car work parties…..

one of my most favorite hill climb cars

I got a chance to quickly test fit an fittings and well heres what the outcome was..

At first glance i tottally thought it was the wrong on or the adapter was to small

then i thought theres no way in the these 90* -6 fittings were gonna fit maybe their -8′s?

Oh shit would you like at that, 90* fitting still isnt going to fit..

Dude im bouta be herra jdm pretty soon, now i need a few things like probably around 3-4ft of -6 ss hose and some Y-fittings. It looks pretty goo so far and this is the bag of fittings i got for less than 20 bucks on ebay awhile back including the 1ft hose.

With that note im grabbing the clutch alignment tool and the third solex fitting because they had two onsight and the third at another place, so tomorow its going down and if i got the time along with the energy i can put the trans back for the last time. I leave with this because i just rediscovered this shit from a while back.

Last night we had a go with the transmission for about 2-3 hours and came to the conclusion that i need to get a clutch alignment tool after trying to eyeball it since for some reason it didnt come with one, but did put in the new PP/Clutch kit although its just oem replacement for now. So i went to go check who had one and figured I’d grab the An -6 Adapters for solex/mikunis at about nine bucks a pop. I got a bag of aeroquip fittings a -6 1ft line but obviously im gonna need more if i want rubber lines extinct from my car, i think my fittings mag be too big maybe but i cant remember.

Ill get back at it tomorow since i have to wait for the alignment tool and work on it when i get off from work 1030pm and into the morning. Im going to mock up the adapters/fittings to see which angles ill run them at since each carb will have an individual feed line to keep on the cooler side. Still needa warm up the car and do a operating temperaure valve adjustment and look for a better cam to get the carbs to breathe.

So im going to try to figure how to get some more steering angle on the z with the oem rack or look for an alternative route up front. Next is to weld the diff, wheels and painless wiring kit so i think thats alot to think about for my summer. Thanks for reading ill try to update weekly and have a review on my first drive.

So after getting everything cleaned up i figured it was time to get the headlights ago and make sure my parking lights work. The stock s30 harness cannont distribute enough for both HID’s so a relay was fitted to accomodate.

Seems either the left side needs to go up or the right side needs to come down but for now its doable. Although now only my high beams only work since one bulb has shorted out the low beam.

Its ok though this wouldnt be the first time i got them stuck like this because before my headlights were completely manual for a long time….like physically put the power wire on the battery when i need the headlights on “physically”.  Later tonight Im going to drop the transmission hopefully and see wtf is up with the clutch fork, i still have my other throwout bearing to conpared which only got 1000ish miles on it. Ill be snapping pictures of that soon.

-Until then Deauces-

Figure some people may wannna here it for once, cant wait to get it going.

So im selling the 240z because its a giant piece of shit and will never run and will blow up since i drive on the mountain.

Yeah the fuck right theres no way in hell all the work i put into this shit im going to bail on it (although i did lead some of you on to think that, im sorry lol). This will be a long post since alot has happened since i finished the brakes. So sit the fuck down, grab a few beers, grab a pizza, grab some homies and check this shit out.

Since the calipers were done figured it would be a good idea to get the engine all dubstep “womp,womp,womp,womp” sounding.

So the first time cranking it was backfiring but sounded like it was running if you held the key. Fuel was there, timing was there and spark was there but for some reason something came over me and was all…..

Found out the carbs werent spraying fuel 2 of 6 nozzles. Then gave Wolf Creek Racing a call to order a rebuild kit for the mikunis. I recommened to any and everyone looking to step their datsun game up to contact them.

I was actually quite intimidated by taking these apart since there’s hella small, hella pieces, and hella e-z to strip bolts not too add at UTI I was all…..

Fuck how much more wrong I could’ve been. After taking apart one while slowly paying attention to every detail where everything goes it actually wasnt too hard, quite enjoyed really.

And heres the guts

Replaced the accelerator pump diaphrams, needles, nozzle cap seals and gaskets i proceeded to put the mikunis back on the motor.

But my dumbass forgot to check if the fuel was aided at all after the rebuild. The accelerator pump diaphrams i put in were upside down, derp… so i had to take them apart again

Now i can actually hear the pressure building inside the carbs and a more tensioned throttle play. So got back to the Z and BAM. Nothin fucking great…..this…shit…is…jrjjfkvf…pissing…..fjddjjdjddndj…… phew, off. At this point i thought maybe the solvent dried faster than i thought when i rebuilt them and its blocking the passageways. Took them apart again….

But noooooooo, i dont wanna spray fuel look at me im a thousand year old piece of shit, you shoulda went fuel injected stupid bitch. NOW IM PISSED, VERY, VERY, PISSED, SO IM THINK MAYBE WOLFCREEK CAN FIX EM OR SEND THEM TO REBELLO. Took a second look at the mikunis bible and it said “You dipshit shall figure’th out, that under thee nozzle caps, thow pump nozzle’s will now be removable” . Well remeber the seals i said i replaced? What i didnt know is that the nozzles can actually be removed..jqfjfkfbfjfi$&#&$*?_%#&@*%#*$?@$&#?&

Yeah thats what it felt like. Anyways so i took the fucking nozzles out and dam would you look at that, there more clogged than a pornstar, all wholes were filled. I had a can of carb cleaner, cut it in half, put the fuel nozzles in it and filled it up with seafoam the heavier compound one. So i looked at my watch and well

So they sat from thursday morning till sunday afternoon and well would’ja look at that….THEY STILL DONT FUCKING WOR…..ohh wait….can it be?

They fucking work…finally, after confirming that their not going to be sold or used as a murder weapon I put them on the car making the car crank waayyy more healthy. A friend of mine came by the name of Leo and we adjusted timing then bam we got it to turn on but not idle without throttle applied. Although I came back to a puddle of water next to the car due to a fucked water neck or w/e…

Luckily i had an extra within a few seconds later i replaced it (*mental note* gotta reseal it). The mikunis didnt come with the throttle linkage for the pedal to carbs, ended up making my own.

Then yesterday after ever so slightly tuning the carbs got it to idle. Im leaking oil from the back of the sandwhich plate so i may ditch the boso oil cooler since it needs different fittings for me to actually mount it anyways, other than that everything checked in kinda since my oil/temp gauge doesnt work but then again i never ran it long enough to find out.

So now to the present problem is the clutch fork and slave cylinder it seems the fork doesnt want move all the way back for the slave to push it.

But im happy where it is for now and hopefully will be driving it as soon as i get this problem addressed, been helping my S14 buddy with his car since its too awesome not to be running. So summary I finished the rear calipers, rebuilt the carbs and soaked the pump needles, got it to idle and found my current speed bump.

Btw if you didnt know Adam Yauch mainly known as MCA from the Beastie Boys had past away this weekend. We have lost many talented artist in recent times. I remember when intergalactic premiered back in the 90′s and i used to act out the fight scene while my sisters would start laughing when i get caught, i even still break to their beats when given the oppurtunity and used their music in performances, parties, sessions, battles and more, thanks for the memories and rest well.

On that note its time to end this long giant up n down post. Btw check out e-homie Franklin and his 300zx. I dont usually dont care for Z32′s but every so often you’ll cross one you like, this is will be one of them.

I hate little post about small stuff but i figured this one should come up and its been a minute..

Caught up with goku and shit finished the rebuild …But a cetain GOHAN broke my starter but luckily a friend had one laying around

But apparently I have to go Super Saiyan 1 o finish the the engine KI upgrade.

Kaioken

Kaioken 10x

Super Saiyan 1

and some other shit i learned along the way

Although Krillin took a look behind rear wheels and said…..

So I said dam your right man, might aswell get my power level over 9000 while im at.

Copped some Super Saiyan Brake lines

Datsunparts LLC brackets and 84-86 Maxima calipa’s

84 300zx N/A Rotors

And all together.

But these MF’S decided to show up..

The worst Troll Gremlins on earth-SAIBAMEN….

We fought them off

But seems one of the bracket doesnt align whatsoever…

But turns out it wasnt due to the attack, indeed was from DPLLC and may sent me one s30 bracket and one 510 bracket…so now i am all

So i had to send BOTH of them, So now im waiting DPLLC to either fix mine or send me a new set.

I got a electric fuel pump only to find out previous over previous owner installed one although it.wasnt functional which also pissed me off. I dont have pics of that yet since i ran out of time and had to goto work right after and maybe get to it weds/thuraday to get it running.

A friend of mine got some kouki headlights, broke the glass during shipment and now leaves me with a set and an idea. Just ziptied it to something  and this is how it came out..

Ill prolly try to use em but i dont know how Im going to mount them, ill find a way.

Now im looking for 73 s30z engine harness because mine is way beyond repair from i can tell now, othen that things finally coming together.

Thats it for now.
