Just texted you!

It is indeed, there are tonnes of helpful info out there, but it's never really been combined into one post. A lot of people say you don't need a choke on the Webers, are you going to run a choke?

Not sure on that one actually, haven't got that far with mine.

Hi all, Thought I’d put together a bit of a thread to help anyone doing a Datsun 280z EFI to Weber conversion, or even swapping carbs for Webers on the earlier Z’s. There is heaps of information on the process, but it's here, there, and everywhere, so this will hopefully bring it all together...

Yep, can't say anything bad about Kevin Hill, had no problem with mine whatsoever and he handled all the paperwork. Was a breeze in my case!

Good idea, I'll give that a go thanks

I had a look inside and it all looked pretty clean. Contacts seem to be operating as they should

Hi guys, me again doh! Sourced a new AFM for the Z which seems to be working fine which is great. What I did notice is that the car is now idling really inconsistently. It's all over the place. Here is a couple of video of the idle, recorded one after the other it sounds like it loses a...

Thanks for that info Mike, good to know that there's two ways the pump is switched on. I wired the pump directly to the car battery this morning and here is a video recording of the noise it was making. https://www.dropbox.com/s/1cggpuljbxpzgdk/IMG_0391.MOV?dl=0 When I tapped the wire on the...

Is this the box you meant Mike? I presume it's another relay? As it clicks when you turn the key to start.

Here's what the fuel filter looked like :rolleyes:

Hi all, Had a good crack at the Z today and have found a few things. AFM flap was stuck in the open position, it was getting caught when all the way open, so managed to get that to move more freely - I get what the gentle tap is for now! Once I'd addressed the AFM, it still wasn't starting...
