I'm a bit out of my element now on this 1978 280z s30. I believe both of the fuel pump relays are bad. Unfortunately when I ordered the new ones, they don't have the same pin structure so I have to rewire them. I'm simply not sure which wire goes where though I ventured some guesses. Could someone take a look at what I've posted in this PDF can correct anything and tell me which wire goes to which? There is a 4 pin and a 5 pin. https://www.docdroid.net/4M0eepL/fuel-relays.pdf Thanks. fuel relays.pdf

Before we start the summer cruising & car show season, I was wondering how to pack the stuff you'll need for a drive & car show. I may want to get a different plastic tub or re-arrange what's in the car to properly store or carry all the needed things. I probably have a good idea what I'll want or need, buy this is a discussion forum, so let's get discussting... Oops- discussing. ? The road Trip: I'll Presume you have the mechanicals in good condition, with good or fresh brake pads, tyres, and any other consumables, like the oil and air filter, wiper blades, etc. I'd start the list with some spare parts, such as the V-belt for the water pump,…

RE: '77 280Z Gentle Readers: I need to understand the procedure for gently removing the door's upper chrome moulding (w/squeegee), to be accomplished without (with the emphasis on "without") any damage to the existing (in this case, original) paint on the door or surrounding elements. As I understand it, there are no actual fasteners involved, and that the moulding mounts with clips. Can it be done with the lowered window in place, or must it be removed from the door? Would it help to cut off the original (and now ossified) rubber squeegee? What about the inner fuzzy strip? Must the window or door card be removed? A couple of the few "first-time" …

For those of you looking for Watanabe center caps to fit Rota Wheels and with some help from the Dremel the Koenig wheels, here is a link to a source in Japan that sells them. Unfortunately they only come in Silver but I just painted mine to match my black Koenigs. Very reasonably priced and quick ship. https://www.nengun.com/rs-watanabe/centre-caps

My friend just moved to the next town north of where I live. I just received this picture from him. Apparently this is across the street from his new house. Looks like I will need to go check out this new house of his. Sent from my N9130 using Tapatalk

Just got my Z back from the shop where many, many things were addressed; new engine mounts, struts, springs, differential mount among others. Wheels are new 16” Panasports with Continental Extreme Contact 205’s which where road force balanced. It exhibits a strange handling quirk which I am trying to diagnose. When I let off the gas it will veer slightly to the right and when I apply the gas it will veer slightly to the left. Has anybody experienced this or have any idea what may be causing this?

So, I picked up a car this afternoon. She's a bit rusty. OK, a lot rusty! In fact it might be extremely costly to save her. But there is hope! For where there was once life... ...there can be life once again. That is if I replace every part here. And every part here. I'm sure I can afford to replace everything in this photo. If I step on this it will just go away. Problem solved. I don't need to worry about this section - if I try real hard I can always just stare forward. But what is this! A donor car!? That's only half rusted... It is possible we just might hear this engine sing again... And this body roll with pride again... An…

I originally owned my first Z car, a 1996 300zx, back in 2004. Later around 2006, I picked up a 260z and started working on restoring it. Life got in the way and we had a big move to Texas and I sold the 260z. I almost bought a really clean silver 240z that was on eBay in 2007. I was wanting a neat car to daily drive. That fell through and now 12 years later I was on the hunt for another car. I really wanted the earliest 240z I could find that was in reasonable condition for a full restoration. I live just North of Houston and found several cars for sale locally. The problem is these cars were very rusty. I mean I can do body work and sheet metal replacement but I didn't …

Can't remember which thread I hoovered this from. Is this a custom made air filter housing or does someplace sell these? Looks like it takes the stock air filter.

RE: '77 280Z Hello All: All that stands between my recently refreshed '77 280Z and the open road, is a missing pair of windshield wiper arms (R & L) and heads (blade carriers). As these items will be used frequently, the OEM pieces will have to be not damaged and completely serviceable. No junk, please. Please reply to <ensys@michiana.org>
