I think its around the 2-3000 mark - Next run out I will just pull the Vac advance off to see what difference that makes - I suspect there may be just a tad too much influence from this as it does have the capability of giving 14 degrees of advance! I suppose that if that breaker plate does...

Its been a long weekend and I pulled the wrong figures out of the 1973 FSM..... Ignition timing 1973 FSM says: 17 Deg BTDC @ 750RPM Mechanical Advanve Nominal @1200rpm (2400rpm crank) = 9 Degrees (18 crank) Advance goes from 17 to 35 degrees

I have seen those figures before and I think they are what I saw in the Haynes manual? I have both the 72 & 73 factory service manuals and these give yet another set of figures! (The vacuum advance is disconnected when measuring the timing on the car but I do put it back on and it only makes a...

The above should say " an extra 0.75mm" Not 1.3mm !

Hi all, Has anyone played around with the advance curves on the D609 type distributor? What I have found out with having a play around is that it seems to be that my stock L24 running the standard HJG46W carbs tends to like more advance than the distributor will give? The cam in the...

It looks like the issue is finally resolved as I have just received a phone call from Kyle at the DVLA who has now talked to Mike's contact and they have managed to get the database updated with the Z Club's information. Thanks to Mike for persisting with this.

Well - 3 hours latter and still no call back as promised...why am I not surprised...!

Hi Mike, You are not going to believe this but I have just had the DVLA phone me back and they have stated that The Z club is not on their list of recognised clubs! I have asked them to double check their records and they are phoning me back in 20 mins!

Do we know if the post office will process an application with a car that is first registered post 01/01/74 but with the letter from Mike stating the manufacturing date being in 1973?

Thanks for the link Rob, I have been promised a call back from DVLA by Monday - I will ask for confirmation that the letter from Mike will be accepted before sending it all again! The bizarre thing is that I phoned DVLA yesterday (07/052014) to progress it and they said the good news was that...

Hi All, Has anyone had problems in changing the Tax class of their 240Z? Mike Feeney kindly wrote a letter for me to state that all 240Z’s should now be tax exempt but the DVLA has just returned my application along with Mike’s letter stating that it has been rejected as there is no...
