I have a complete 280z shop manual on 8.5x11 pages, directly copied from the service manual, including the wiring diagram. All pages are in 3 ring-bound notebooks. I also have the dealer parts fiche (each page) on 8.5x11 pages also ring-bound in 2 notebooks. Would those be worth anything to anyone? Shipping would be paid by the receiver. Was going to say 'just PM me' but don't see an option within this forum for PM's. Guess you may reply or email.

Gents, As we enjoy this Memorial Day weekend grilling burgers and sipping cold beverages with family in friends wherever you are I wanted to share the story of the sacrifice of one of my closest friends (we were friends for 18 years) who died on 14 Sep 2012 in Camp Bastion, Afghanistan. His name was LtCol Chris “Otis” Raible. He was the CO of a Marine Harrier squadron and died defending his Marines and aircraft from insurgents attacking on the fight line in Bastion. Many men and women have made similar sacrifices serving our country and without their willingness to lay down their lives for our Nation, our way of life would be far different that it is today.…

Hi all-so I am the owner of a '72 240z, which is a blast to drive, but ever since purchasing the car, it has been plagued by a particular issue that makes it supremely unpleasant: the smell of either unburned fuel, or exhaust, in the cabin. I am not at all new to old cars and their smell, and I can assure you this is not the typical "old car stink" from a non-cat exhaust system. this is BAD. if the windows are rolled up, i can only drive maybe 3-5 minutes before it's basically unbearable(headache levels of discomfort). I've had two exhaust shops check everything downstream of the exhaust header-it's completely tight. the car will stall out if you block off the exhau…

I searched a number of times, but couldn't find the answer to my simple question. When installing a mechanical fuel pump, how is the Permatex - "Permatex 85420 Permashield Fuel Resistant Gasket Dressing & Sealant", applied? Is it applied to each of the four hard surfaces? OR, each side of the two gaskets? Roughly, how much is used on each surface? Also, do I lubricate the pump before installation? Any help is appreciated.

Is it possible for me to put a 240 grille on a 280? What about a 240 valence on a 280? The 280z had the small front markers in the grille. The 240 has them built into the valence piece.

Last night was not good. My son was driving my daughter home from the movies in my Z, going across the Ballard bridge (drawbridge w/metal grating in the rain) when a pickup pulled into his lane. He swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid the truck, then cut back into his lane and the car went into a spin, crashing into the guardrail. Thankfully both kids walked away unscathed but I'm afraid it might be the end of the road for the Z... IMG_0013.HEIC IMG_0017.HEIC

I bit the bullet and made an account, I don't know if this is the right place to post this. I'm having charging issues currently, as of a week ago the car was running great. It's a 77' 280z, currently the battery isn't charging and my fuel gauge fuse blows in the first stage. I've replaced the Alternator from Autozone, changed the Voltage regulator from MSA, also the fusible links also from MSA but it's still not charging. The first video is me turning the car on it stays at 12v constantly and when I turn it on it dips a bit then back to 12v and my charge light stays on even throughout the drive, the picture of the fuse is the blown fuse and that happens usually after the…

Just wondering if anyone has found a fire extinguisher they like, which will actually extinguish a fire, and is easy to mount for 240Z cars? Also, where do most of you mount yours? Have decided it's time to add one after reading about another Z which succumbed to an engine fire. Thanks, Andy

I looked at the manual, seemed like it was one of the holes near the center of the head, but my JK pull maxima N47 seemed more like a small hole near the cam chain (looking at the bottom of the cylinder head. I wanted to try to send some oil up that way to see if I could lubricate the cam shaft bearing journals.

My son is smelling antifreeze in his car and yesterday after a long trip at 75 mph he found a small amount of antifreeze on the passenger side carpet. I assume heater core or something, we pulled off a lot of the dash as we could in the rain but see no obvious place it's leaking, after leaving the car running we still see nothing but can smell it. Maybe a pinhole thing. The puddle was about 3 tbls Since we don't have a garage to get into and want to get through the rain, here's the question we need some advice on. I've read that you shouldn't bypass the heater core lines you should plug them on this 78 280z. What we were thinking is, bypass or plug it until we …
