Just came across this post. Thanks for pic and comment. Really nice show with a very unusual collection of cars. First time I have seen your 240 and I am so impressed at how straight the bodyshell is. Me being me I would want to paint it but doing that would probably spoil the very unusual look...

If all else fails go to 'SPIYDA'. They are an English firm who make a little box of electronics that you wire between the sender and the gauge. It allows you to adjust the settings so the gauge will read accurately across its range. It even allows you to adjust the 'damping affect' so the gauge...

Perhaps it would have been better to not make such comments in the first place if you had no intention of backing them up. I still don't see how a straight tube with an injector in ( which is essentially what a TB is ) can fail to work in this application ???. As I said previously I have used...

Oh, I thought it would be nice for the others on here to see the problem and save themselves wasting money.

I didn't know that. What doesn't work ?. I am very close to buying a set for my 280Z so need to know before spending any money.

Well said.

Is there a reason for you saying that ?. I have used them on a couple of engines now and they work really well. They also seem good value when you consider you get injectors, TPS etc with them. These conversions are never 'cheap' if done properly but the benefits over carbs are very significant.

Sorry but too far for me right now.

Yep but probably not as far as Yorkshire just now.

That looks very nice but is it not cheating buying one already done IE. doesn't need huge amounts of time and money spending on it.

I think it was about £150 to have the leather fitted. The reason I went down the leather route was that trying to repair the original vinyl was not successful. When I repaired the cracks the repair was fine but the vinyl itself was brittle so the bits between the repaired cracks started to...

Yes I have one of those leather dash covers fitted. See photo ( sorry for the poor quality ). I fully repaired the cracked dash top first to make a nice even surface to work on and yes, the whole dash had to come out for it to be worked on. I had it fitted by a professional upholsterer who...

I am starting to collect the parts to fit Jenvey ITB's ( Historic ) aswell. Will you be doing thread on fitting ?. I have done a couple of such conversions on four cylinder Ford engines but not a six cylinder Datsun. It is always good to see other peoples ways of doing things.

That looks very smart and to my limited knowledge a very unusual colour. Don't know of any clubs meets in the North East but I try to get to Croft for the shows held there.

Just to add .. I bought a front and rear spoiler and interior panels from FRP in April this year. Initial communication didn't go too well so I went and knocked on his door. We agreed a price and all was fine from there on. Craig then called me to say the parts were ready so I went back, paid...

Yes, that was me at Bedlington and I told the lady from your street to give you a kick to get the car finished - which she readily agreed to !!

That would be good but I meant pics of the car !!

Good news. any pictures ? I was supposed to be at the Hartlepool show this weekend but can't make it. There is a car meet at Ryton on Tuesday that always has a good turn out if that's of any interest. Next trip out should be Brunton Airfield on July 3rd.

Yep, I am working on it. Do I make the plate 1. fit the mounting ? or 2. fit the reg number ?. Someone mentioned that there should be a black insert in the rear panel which covers up the holes, is that correct ?.

Well, almost at the end of a journey of discovery with a Datsun. A great journey it has been and it is now a case of driving it and enjoying it. These pics are from today when I finally fitted the spoilers. I couldn't decide what to0 do so just fitted them and now I think they are nice. Still...
