noticed this more when car is cold (before first drive). 77 280,5 speed, mostly stock that I know of. worst when temp is COLD outside, you can push in the clutch, start the car, put tranny in nuetral and let out the clutch and 2 things happen. #1 as you let out the clutch the engine rpms will drop 200 or 300 rpms like there is a load on engine and #2 if you dont have the brake on the car will actual try to creep forward with the clutch disengaged and the tranny in nuetral. I do think that the tranny was filled or at tleast ALOT of LUCAS GEAR OIL used in it not positive thou! Any Speculations????

I once had a set of NGK wires on my 75 280 that were clear. I was wondering has anyone ever heard of these and if so does NGK still make them? I would like to have a set for my 76. Its a cool look to watch the spark travel to each plug. Just wondering if anyone has heard of this..

I got a call yesterday from Eric, the owner of Zparts.com. He needs to liquidate some of his large stock (9 vehicles, fenders, hoods, hatches, etc), and wanted to know if I wanted first dibs. The problem is, I don't have a cost-effective way to get the parts to my barn. Are there any members close to Richmond, CA available to go and look at what he's got? Maybe a report on the quality of merchandise can make it easier for me to decide. Here is a link to the page where he explains everything: http://www.zparts.com/ads/relocation/relocation_sale.htm Thanks for the help! Mat

Hi guys, Started peicing my car back together and found this bracket in a bag I tagged (during disassembly) "Accelerator Pedal" which indeed did include all the other bolts and U brackets for the accelerator pedal. I have no recolection of where I pulled this part from or what it does, I checked out a friends earlier car and cant find it. Mine is a '77. Thinking about it now, this may only be applicable to RHD countries Thanks James

Opinions please. My Z was built 12/70, and has the original plastic "Reservoir Tank" (also sometimes referred to as an evaporation tank, as part of the fuel tank / fuel supply / emissions circuit). I understand that a metal reservoir tank was fitted to later models. From a longevity standpoint, is the metal tank generally considered to be more durable? Or, put another way, are the plastic tanks prone to failure? If so, are the two tanks interchangeable? Thanks, Gary S.

On the Mythbuster show (Discovery Channel) Sunday night there was a white S30 used to test how fast you could get a HotWheels car to go. They jacked up the back, covered a tire with tape to make it smooth, and mounted a hotwheels car to an arm-thing. Then the arm was held so the wheels on the little car were in contact with the Z tire. How fast? The Hotwheels car survived up to 75 MPG before the axles broke. The reason of this was to test the myth that a HotWheels going on a track downhill, could out-accelerate a Dodge Viper (both coasting) in a 1/4 mile downhill drag race. The result was that the HotWheels did go faster for about the first 50 feet, then the Viper cau…

My wife and I are thinking about moving back to the great land of OZ and I was wondering if it is worth my bringing back my 77 280 with me or can I find a z pretty cheap still down there. I have to admit, when I lived there I did not look at z cars .. mostly women .. but that is another story. If these cars are worth quite abit these I would look into importing it. Thanks guys ... Cheers Ü

Can someone with the CD Microfiche do me a favor and look up a part number. I recently ordered a grommet and I fear I received the wrong one. I need the part number for the rubber grommet that goes around the engine bay wireing harness. The grommet sits in the firewall below the battery tray. Thanks.
