75 280z Need advice on what this could be

I bought the car recently and replaced the coil, plugs, wires, battery terminals. The car is getting spark and fuel. If i hold the key on the start position(where the starter is turning the motor) it will rev up and seem to run. But whenever i release the key and let it go to the run position, the car shuts off. I have no idea what it can be, mabye the ignition or something electrical. Anyones advice will be greatley appreciated.

Hatch anti corrosion interior passageways

Hi all, I went to spray the interior metal passageways of my 240Z hatch with a Transtar Amber anti corrosion spray can and noticed there is a reinforcement plate on both sides and top of the hatch. To spray the two passageways created by this plate on the sides was easy as I just had to guide with my hand the 3 foot long spray wand above and then below the reinforcement plate as you can feel the end of the plate with your hand. See drawings. After I did this on both sides I drilled a cou

Map light stuck fix

Hi all, The map light in my 240Z got stuck so that when the switch was pushed in to make it turn on or off it would push in and wouldn't pop back out. This was largely due to the top and bottom of the assembly pushing in on the clear plastic switch cover causing the clear plastic to drag. To cure this I glued in a sawed off ordinary lead pencil to bow out the top and bottom of the assembly reducing the friction on the clear plastic switch. The pencil length that worked well for me was appr

Grose jets aud9096gr

I am new to this site, If I violated some of your rules, you have my apologies. I wanted to offer these hard to find parts to your members as I used to work on cars in my earlier days so I know that these cars use these parts and they have been discontinued for may be 10 years. I have this listing on ebay for these original parts, NEW in sealed original envelopes http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5039.m570.l1313&_nkw=aud9096gr&_sacat=See-All-Categories ray

Glove Box latch fix and prevent door warp solution part 2 of 2

This will describe the lock latch modification only and will not address the door warping issue further. I noticed the glove box door on my 240Z would not always stay latched. The first thing I tried was to slide the lock mechanism fore and aft after loosening the two screws that hold it on as they are in long slots. I had previously modified the latch on the door to stay in position better using a cotter pin (see part 1 of 2 blog post on this) but the half with the locking mechanism need

fuel pump

So I have a possibly stupid question.... short and simple.. should I hear my fuel pump running while the key is simply in the run position while not running? Or does the pump only run while the car is running?

Fuel Lines

Where is a good source for the rubber fuel line hoses for a 1972 240Z ? They appear to be 2 different sizes in the engine compartment. Also, I am looking for a source for a 240Z front tag. Any suggestions?

Brake Lights only come on when hazards are on.

New to me 72 240z. Replaced all the tail light bulbs and replaced brake light switch. The older brake light switch had different connectors than the new correct one. Old brake light switch had one yellow wire from under the dash and one of two green wires connected to it. Headlights, running lights and reverse lights all work. Turn signals do not work and have not since car was purchase a few months ago. Here is what I have going on as far as I can tell. When I connect both green wires to the ne

SFR Protecta oil additive Super Lubricant

I saw a link that was about an oil additive that prevents all wear of engine components. This oil additive lubricates the cylinder walls during cold startups. Never use synthetic oil again. This oil additive is amazing. It beats prolong and a multitude of other additives. I know a distributor that sells this product for $16.50 per bottle. sfrcorp.com/demonstration If you like what you see on this 11 minute demo, contact me @ gleason_d@sbcglobal.net titaniumspine

Oil changing tips

Most experts now saw that the old 3,000 mile guideline for oil changes is over-kill. However, none will debate that normal oil changes are still of probably the most essential ways to keep your automobile running for as long as possible. However, many people think they have to take it to an expert. In reality, it's a fairly easy job, and could be done a lot more cheaply at home.

Any advice on lowering 1972 240z?

I have a 72 240z and I really want it to look nice and low. I know that Ground Control Coilovers work real nice, but they aren't in my budget. What are any alternatives to making my car as low as possible? What lowering springs/kit would look best and would getting smaller rims/wheels and tire profile reduce the ride height as well? I will be putting on ZG fender flares on and I want the wheels to look tucked in. I also plan on getting Konig Rewinds. So what do you think would make them look bes
