Happy Birthday Mark... Starting a Birthday card for you. You have been of such good assistance to a lot of the members, I thought it would be appropriate to let everyone know you are turning 68 today, and giving them a chance to wish you well too. Hope you are having a great day, and eating a lot of ice cream and cake. Jai Rusu_Mihai_-_Universal_Happy_Birthday.mp3

Hi all, Picked up my first 260Z a couple of weeks ago and I'm already hooked! I think she's a 1978 260Z although not registered in the UK until April 1979, which I think might just make her the youngest or last 260Z registered in the UK? I'm the 10th owner and I'm looking forward to compiling the history of the car over the coming months. The original colour was a metallic brown but she had a full colour change in 1998-1999 to Boston Green Metallic. A few bits and pieces to do next year, but generally she's in superb condition and still pulls like a freight train!

Hi Guys! Where is the best place to search for OEM part numbers? I used to do this on the Nissan site or carpartsmanual.com, but Nissan's website dropped all of the S30 models and carpartsmanual doesn't seem to have the actual numbers. I am trying to figure out the OEM gaskets for the 1977 L28. http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/Z-1969-1978/engine-280z/engine-gasket-kit

Since there is still a lot of stuff about these not known exactly and many confusing topics, thousand of pages and myths, I will try here to make it easier. If anyone has additional information or something is not right, please post, then I will modify the 1 post. This is for stock factory transmissions only, NOT competition ones. There are A, B and C types transmissions ( C was never used in Z cars so I will not add these here ) Update 9/7-21 : Also the 4.11 ratio R180 was not used on Z cars ( correct me if I am wrong ) Also not sure if 3.90 was used in the USA on the 260/280Z and ZX So far I have: Nissan S30 Fairlady Z Japan t…

Hi all, I suspect I have an electrical short somewhere, and could use some help going about how to find it. I recently was replacing my alternator, and initially inverted the + and ground wiring to the alternator(combination of not labeling the stock wires, swapped location of posts on new alternator, and my being a bonehead). Upon connecting the battery, the fusible link did not blow, but cooked the insulation off the wire. The wiring lived for maybe 6-10 seconds before I realized what was happening and disconnected the battery; I cannot be sure I didnt cook some insulation off a wire elsewhere in the car. I have replaced the fusible link, and pulled the wra…

I’ve owned about 15 Z cars over the years, most were 280Z. Still of course own my first 240Z. somewhere along the line, I put together a 280 with all new Factory EFI. I don’t remember what this is or does. I found it while setting up my new garage at the new house. I don’t suppose I need it, but I’d like to know what it is!
