The 1975 Datsun 160, 4 cylinder 83 Hp car had a maximum speed of 80 miles per hour.

How do you fix an engine with low compression in all 6 cylinders?

The repair depends on what is causing the low compression. Low compression can be caused by a blown head gasket, cracked cylinder head, burnt or damaged valves, worn or cracked piston rings, scored block cylinders. It's kind of hard to imagine that an engine would have low compression on all 6 cylinders unless something major is wrong, or the compression gauge is not measuring properly.

Why would your Datsun 280zx stall if the rpm goes over 2000?

Could very well be the spark plugs or possibly fuel injectors. I had the same problem and it was the spark plugs. check for dead spots in your tps. also check that the resistance in your airflow meter is consistant.

How do you hook up a starter button in a 1980 Datsun 210?

I'm somewhat confused by your use of the term "starter button". I assume you're referring to hooking up a remote starter allowing you to spin the engine while you're working under the hood. First make sure that the vehicle is in either park or neutral. Second, make sure that the ignition switch is in the "off" position. Locate the starter solenoid which is atop the starter assembly. Disconnect the trigger wire at it's spade terminal. The wire will most likely be yellow in color. Connect one end of your remote starter button at this terminal on the starter and the other end to the positive battery post.

How much would it cost to get a clutch set put in a 1989 Nissan Datsun 240SX?

Why does your 1982 Nissan Z22 quit and not restart at idle following warm up?

If you mean that the vehicle will start but not idle after it's warmed up? and will die if allowed to idle.

No complete answer yet, but, I'm a tech with 44 years experience, and currently I'm working on a 1981 Datsun Pickup with the z22 engine, and ONE of the problems with this truck I'm working on is that it dies at idle after it's warmed up.


For this particular truck, and for things to look at with this problem, what I'm suspecting are one or more of the following:
1. choke set too lean (These engines run very lean to start with and as they age they get leaner.)
2. EGR valve stuck open. (Or other large vacuum leak.)
3. Idle circuit in the carb clogged up. (Carbs need to be cleaned/overhauled sometime after 150k miles, and I'm trying to avoid that overhaul in this truck since so many other things are pending or currently wrong.)
4. Idle shut off valve not opening. (This is called the Anti-Dieseling Solenoid, located right upper rear of carb body on this vehicle. It has one wire to it, which is hot when key is on, no voltage when key is off, which shuts off the idle circuit, preventing dieseling. and preventing idle if not working properly. and working fine on this truck.)
5. To meet emissions and so that they can run very lean, These engines use 8 spark plugs, two for each cyl, therefore the cap or rotor is prone to cause problems and cross firing. Best to use cap & rotor made in Japan to avoid this.
6. and since the vehicle has 2 coils, a complicated dist cap & rotor, it's often found to be wired incorrectly. However, the cap shows where each wire is supposed to go, printed right on the cap at each terminal. the only problem is the coils themselves are not marked intake or exhaust. But reversing the coils will not prevent the vehicle from running however, messing up the firing order will keep it from running.

Car running rough with backfire?

Backfiring in a nutshell: A backfire is when the ignition of fuel doesn't take place in the ignition/combustion chamber, it(a backfire) can take place in the intake or exhaust. It can be caused by a fuel to air ratio not being correct, also if the timing of the spark is not just right that could cause it to back fire. It could be running lean with not enough fuel and too much air, or could have too much fuel and not enough air. It could be because the intake valves are not shut when the combustion takes place, therefore the combustion would take place in the wrong spot. The most likely cause are from: 1. Incorrect timing, the timing issue could be caused by bad wiring/ or bad ignition. 2. Incorrect fuel to air ratio, bad fuel filter, low fuel pressure-caused by weak fuel pump. Most cars will have the same cause for backfiring, as long as it's an internal combustion engine it shouldn't differ...

Between 1979 and 1981 what parts are interchangeable on Nissan Datsun 280ZX?

According to Zcar dot com and Hybridz dot org since i was in need of an answer, i have found that near all parts are identical. Nearly 90%. Most body pieces will interchange, but i am unaware of minor differences (if any) in the body. I myself am going up to look at a 79' 280zx to be a parts car for my 82' 280zx. What i do know positively is 2+2 and coupe's body parts are not interchangeable from the firewall back. But everything else such as interior should be. The hatch from a 2+2 and coupe may interchange as well, but i am not sure of that. So in conclusion if you are considering buying a parts car for your year car X, and the parts car being a previous year car, it should be mostly interchangeable. The reverse way, i am unsure of though.

How does electricity cause a fuse to melt?

It gets very hot and can't contain that much heat without melting.

Above is true but what happens is the item (load) protected by the fuse is pulling more current or number of electrons through the circuit than what it was designed to handle. The more friction from electrons fighting each other, to get through the wire (fuse), the more heat is produced, the material that the fuse is made of, can only handle so much heat and then it burns open. This can happen by a number of things that may change.

The actual load can change or the voltage pushing the electrons through the wire may have gotten higher. It's not a simple answer to say why the fuse actually burns open.
