I was out taking some pictures and decided to switch to black and white. I think these look cool, hide some imperfections, and remind me of what a classic car we all enjoy. Thought I'd share....

finally figured out a drivability problem i've been fighting off and on for the last couple months. turns out the electric fuel pump i installed can't pull fuel from its current mounting position. at least not adequate fuel. i was having a problem in that the engine would start idle and free rev fine but as soon as i would drive it, the thing would fall flat once accelerating into 3rd gear. i determined it was a fuel delivery issue and played with the float bowls. i noticed that if i turned the engine off immediately when the engine went flat, i could pull the plug from the bottom of the float bowl and it would be just about bone dry, even after adjusting the floats…

I know there is a lot of converted 280's out there. But there mostly double webers. So guys how many triple wbers have you seen on a 280Z and if you haven't how do you think it would look.

hey guys, There were 2 things that I was wondering. First off my clock stopped working a couple of days ago, it had been slow for a while, but it now stopped working completely. It is one of the calendar clocks, and i was wondering if anyone fixed them or if i would be able to get a new one anywhere. Also my drivers side seat belt buckle is not holding that well anymore, and i was wondering if they could be replaced and if anyone had them since i couldnt find them in MSA. Thanks, Jason

Hi folks. I just spent all day at the Artesia, NM 9th annual car show. I wanted to share. I took my Z so that "America" can have a taste. Not including the "ricers" there were a total of 5 imports. An Alfa Romeo, 2 VW's a Porsche and yours truly. The level of competition was very high. I'd guess that 90% of the older (pre 1980) cars were restored. There were some beautiful cars. Trully awesome. I was in good company. And by the way I took second place in the 1970-1980 import. The white Porsche Cabriolet (sp?), which looked like it just rolled off the assembly line took first (I voted for him). It was a gem.

Hello all, Has anybody seen the ebay auction with these neat caps? They have a chrome valve stem cover and a locking anti-theft hex key that locks the caps. I emailed the seller, he is out of Brazil, and he says he has fifteen sets left. They are 12.99 through him with an additional 7.00 shipping to the states. He says if I buy them all they will be 10.99 a piece with shipping at 24.00 for priority mail. Broken down that would be 10.99(caps) + 1.60 shipping from dealer + 1.40 shipping from me to you...that's 14.00 total. Here is a link to the auction so you can get the details and see if your interested. If I have fifteen people by Monday I'll go ahead and purchase th…

With all the talk of car values, it's got me wondering if I really got the good deal I think I did. I bought my 1 owner, always garaged 1973 240Z with 78,000 original miles back in October 05' for $5500 here in Cali. It was almost completely original when I bought it except for what looks like 2.5" exhaust piping, a 77-78 aftermarket 5 spd, early round top SUs and air cleaner, some bullet mirrors, a Kenwood AM/FM/Cassette radio w/4 cheapo speakers, and a urethane front air dam. In going through the car, the worst rust I have found is some VERY minor surface rust near the battery tray, around unused bolt holes on the lower front radiator crossmember, and on the suspensio…

I've noticed some "bubbles around the edge of the Datsun and 240Z emblems on the rear hatch. How do I remove them without damaging them. Do they just pull out or do I need to remove the panel from the inside of the hatch. Thanks.

Remember stuffing 15 people into a VW beetle? How many can you stuff into a Z? OK, which Z? I think I would go with an S30. Should the hatch be up or down? thx

I have a 79 280zx, which has a N-42 block and N-47 head, fuel injected,5-speed . I also have two parts cars, both having F-54 blocks and P-79 heads,one's a 5-speed, and one's an auto. My mods I have,or am planning are: Triple weber 40 dcoe setup, Motorsport header, 2.5 in. custom exhaust w/ high flow cat, Magnaflow muffler, Fidanza aluminum flywheel, ACT clutch kit,MSD 6al, Motorsport stage 2 cam kit. Which block, and which head out of the ones I have would be the best to use for my setup using the stock flattop pistons(from the F-54). Also , should I use the '79, or the '82 5-speed transmission? Thanks Tim

I would like to get some feedback regarding wheels and tires. I have an original 73' 240 that is in beautiful "unrestored" condition (1 repaint, in the 80's sometime) Here is my "dilema", do I keep the stock hubcaps, which I am somewhat afraid of getting damaged, due to what seems to be a high replacement cost, or do I take them off and store them away and buy a set of Rewinds? I love the look of the Konig's (and the price), but at the same time, you just do not see a lot of Z's rolling with stock hubcaps. If I do decide to go with the Rewinds, do the 15"ers look that much better then the 14"ers? Seems the 14" wheel/tire package would cost about $300.00 less but I think i…
