Hey,

These are the photos you asked me for earlier, sorry you can't see a damn thing, all the wiring is hidden. The only two wires coming from the distributor go to + and - on the coil. There's no ballast resistor, no vacuum advance... nothing! There is a one additional wire going to the + and one to the -, but I couldn't trace where they originate from.

Hope it's of some use anyway.

Cheers,

D

Thanks guys and Mag 86 I believe your right. The good news is I'm picking up a 280zx dizzy on sat morn,rushing it to the mechanic who i hope is going to have it running same day.Thanks for the effort on the pics Drew, and guess what I saw just around the corner in someones back yard? a 210 4 door. I knocked but nobody home so I slipped down the side to see if it was man or auto.Turns out to be man but fully gutted inside. I'll go back tomorrow and ask what's happening with it. I'd really like to manualise my coupe and grab the bumpers. Ill let you know the story.

Oddly there IS a vacuum advance on my dizzy, but it has been left disconnected - no hose. It came back that way from the auto electrician and I didn't notice till later. Maybe it doesn't work, or they deemed it superfluous, or maybe, just maybe, they happen to be a pack of 2-bit retards! Still, I'm none too fazed and aren't going to get nasty about it; the car is going just fine without it. I gave it a run with the vacuum advanced connected to the manifold and I couldn't pick any difference. Maybe it is cactus and no-one ever mentioned it.

Keep me posted about that 4 door. I've always got room for another 4 door. Even one without bumpers!

Drew, spoke to the young lady at the house tonight,her boyfriend was given it but has sold it to a mate who's turning it into a rally car. She's going to get him to ring me regarding the bumper. Hopefully he don't need bumpers for what he's doing.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
