Yesterday I got my 280zx exhaust fiasco resolved successfully, and tested out the new idler bearing on the same run, sweet no problems, delighted... until a couple of miles from home the fuel pump started a continuous whine which got louder.
Then I got stuck in a traffic jam for half an hour with the throttle dying, only being corrected by me jumping out in the car and banging the spare wheel on the boot floor which temporarily revived, otherwise progress was reduced 1st gear with the engine idling, about Zimmer pace - I only just made it back home so...
Ordered up a new fuel pump (non Nissan) from Mike Feeney today, hope to get it sorted for Japfest. I will see if I can post some pics of the swap as I do it, apparently small adaptations are needed.
