Tried unlocking the passenger door from inside and outside and door won't unlock. Unlikely to get the door panel off without the door open. Anyone have any idea on how to open the door? Maybe window down and SlimJim? Any other method?

Thanks,

Olaf

Hi,
New to the forum. Have a 1983 Datsun 280Z and wanted to download the Service Manual. All worked, except the Steering section. The steering section point to AT.php, which is the automatic transmission section. It should probably be something like SS.php but I tried that and it didn't work. Can owner of this site please fix that?

Thanks a bunch,

Olaf

Every day now i see some noob who is staring at his stock engine bay full of Nissan smog glory and wandering what he can remove to make it easier to work on. Im going to make a list of what can be removed and still retain basic functionality of the VG30. Lots of people will not agree with what i put here for what ever reason etc. This is what can be removed/relocated in the z31 engine engine bay to clean things up and make it easier to work on. Note: You will not be smog legal if you follow my advice because lets face it if you have to smog test your 80's car you suck at life anyways.

 The list: 

• A/C system Idle controls
  
• cold start valve and all associated lines and piping 
  
• EGR
  
• AIV system 
  
• Cruise control
  
• Vacuum canister
  
• Charcoal canister
  
• Windshield washer crap that most likely leaks anyways 
  
• All the stupid vacuum hardlines that cross over the front of the motor 
  
• On a NA vg30 you can reduce your vacuum lines down to one that goes to the FPR.
  
• Power steering-i actually like my PS so its staying
  

10MM x 1.5 Thread bolts. I have the heavy duty HF stand, and the bolts needed to be ~100mm long.
You will need one Longer one with a Washer and Nut for the Starter Location bottom

Fuel Injection Wiring between Turbo and NA ECCSs

Source: https://z31performance.com/forum/z31-per...d-na-eccss

 I thought that this discussion would be an important addition to Z31Performance.com, since there is alot of ECCS swapping going on between Z31's. From a general inspection of the ECCS wiring diagram in the FSM, it is very clear that the fuel injector wiring between turbo and na ECCSs do not follow the same pattern. If one was to install, for example, a turbo ECCS in an originally non-turbo Z31, then changing of the wiring pattern on the ECCS harness is needed for correct operation of the fuel injectors and engine.

 We all can agree that the Z31 ECCS uses simultaneous injection and group injection, in the former, fuel is injected into all six cylinders simultaneously twice each cylinder cycle. In other words, pulse signals of the same width are simultaneously transmitted from the ECCS to the six injectors two times for each engine cycle. In the group injection system, six cylinders are divided into two groups and fuel is injected into each group separately once each engine cycle.

 When any of the following conditions are met, fuel injection shifts to simultaneous injection from group injection:
 

• Engine speed is more than 3000rpms. 
  
• Injector pulse duration is more than 6.5ms. 
  
• Cylinder head temperature is below 60*C or 140*F. 
  
• When starting.

I am putting another order in to my Machinist for the Z31 Suspension Adapter kits. Now is the time to pick one up if you have a Turbo Z31 with the Adjustable suspension and are planning on replacing the shocks/struts.
Get your order in now before its too late and you have to wait for months.
