    Electronic ignition, which one??

    Paid £92.57 in total including VAT and express delivery from China. Distributor arrived last Tuesday morning, so 7 days after ordering. First impressions are good, well packed but no instructions, feels good quality. It is quite different from my Hitachi H609 points based distributor, in...

    Electronic ignition, which one??

    I am the guinea pig, I ordered mine yesterday I have a bit more confidence now that it might be a good buy. I have been looking at them for a while but I have been a bit reluctant to buy one due to potential for it to be poor quality. But if Z car depot are selling them that speaks volumes and...

    Electronic ignition, which one??

    I think so ... Look at the shape of the vacuum advance, it is identical in both listings but not the same as a stock distributor.

    Electronic ignition, which one??

    This looks like a Sheryberg distributor which are currently on sale from AliExpress direct from China. Current price is £83.00 plus vat with free postage. Not tried it but I am tempted particularly if z car depot are now reselling with a big mark up.

    Tach wiring

    Hi, I hope this diagram helps, it shows how to wire in a hotspark electronic ignition module and retain the tach function. Yours might be similar.

    Wishbone bushing

    Hi, To add to this conversation, the parts you need are a complete set of rear control arm bushes (8 bushes). These are cheapest at www.rockauto.com at £55.52 and £12.52 for cheapest shipping from USA but you may want to upgrade this to Fed Ex, these are upgrades from energy suspension. OEM...

    Wishbone bushing

    Hi, I faced the same problem last year and built a tool to remove the spindle pins. It is a beefed up version of the one you can import from the US. My car has spent it's life in the North East of England (not California), so they were well rusted in. One in particular gave a good fight, it...

    Electronic ignition, which one??

    Another option that replaces the points and condenser with an electronic unit and much cheaper than a distributor. Not tried it. 46 euros. http://e-spark.eu/en/hitachi/887-3hit6u1.html?search_query=Nissan&results=2

    Datsuns in the North East of England

    Hi @Dale , You are right that is Tynemouth back in 1990, you can tell by the fact the car park is nearly empty, I struggle to find a space when I go there now . Took the car there with my trusty Olympus trip camera to take some photos for the Summer 1990 Z club magazine. I have to agree...

    Datsuns in the North East of England

    Hi Dave, unfortunately not. Mine is a 1978 two seater 260z, originally registered in Durham. I bought the car in 1987 and crunch time came 1992 when the fuel tank start leaking, I parked the car in the garage and it hasn't moved since :( . It has survived quite well but is still very sad...

    Datsuns in the North East of England

    Hi Dave, I think your car looks absolutely excellent, I love the colour ... I would so love to have mine out of the garage so I could drive down and meet you and try to contain my envy :) .. Hopefully one day

    Knocking. Argh

    Not sure from above whether you have fixed it or not ... I have just stripped down my suspension and there is a rubber bump stop at the top of the shock absorber. When I stripped mine down it was so brittle it shattered. If this goes it will cause the bumping you talk about but will be...

    Warning - Website selling Z parts appears to be fake

    Hi, I was looking for z-parts today when I came across a website www.wremovers.com which lists a good range of 240z parts, many of which are in the 'hard to get' category and all at 'too good to be true' prices. It even has free worldwide postage with purchases over $40 even on body panels! I...

    Datsuns in the North East of England

    Think it will be worth meeting up, even if just a couple of cars are on the road ... mine is literally just out of hibernation. The icon is what it looked like when I took it off the road in 1992, rather than now. ... will take a while to go through it and replace everything that has decayed...

    Datsuns in the North East of England

    I live in Ponteland. My 2 seater 260z has been in storage since 1992 and needs to see the light of day again. Where abouts in Northumberland are you?
