Is there any reason not to turn the cam lobes using a 19mm wrench rather than turning the engine over with a remote starter?

Need some help troubleshooting a problem with the cv axel installation. Bought the adapters from Silvermine an had the flanges welded to the adapters. This was the final piece to rebuilding the rear suspension. I understand there is a left and right 300zxt axle which I ordered. During the install the shafts were extremely tight and difficult to install. At first I thought they were not seated all the way but that was not the case. I did verify that the axles did have compression but still very difficult to put into position. The axle hubs spin easily until t he shafts are installed. After the shafts are installed it seems like they are binding due to the pressure between…

Attempting to install the R200 diff using Whiteheads mustache bar. The unit has offset washers tie wrapped to the bar front and back when I unboxed it. Not sure what they are for. Tried to contact them by email and left a vm. Need some help from anybody familiar with this product. The mounting hole seems a bit large and would have a lot of play on the rear of the diff. Not sure what I’m missing here.No possible way to use the washers. Studs protrude out 1/2 inch withe the aluminum washers.No way near long enough

I have searched on several forums and a lot of the information I could find seemed to be old. I will openly admit I am horrible at the search feature so that probably played a large part in it. Here’s my question can someone please point me in the direction of a good right up for a distributorless ignition setup. Preferably with LS coil packs? Thanks in advance.

I'm sure many of you Z owners are familiar with the dry-rotted rubber on the afm boot which can create a huge vacuum leak. I'd like to get a new boot, but some are over $100. Are there any alternatives out there? Maybe one from another vehicle that fits? Or do I just need to bite the bullet? Haha. Thanks!

I am swapping transmissions and must install my own crossmember but at what angle should the engine sit? At a slight incline back or should it be level? If someone could but a level on their cylinder head and give me a degree of pitch or just send me a photo of it that would be great! Thanks

Hey everyone, I want to preface this with I am a total dumbass: Basically, I was in a hurry to reinstall my round top carbs on my L28 and accidentally connected the fuel lines to the upper vent instead of the fuel inlet and ran the fuel pump until fuel came out of the front air filters. I'm guessing all I need to do is let the thing air out for a day or so before running, but any advice/concerns are much appreciated. Thanks! -Michael

Hey everyone, I'm stumped. After about a dozen weekends of trying and endless searching on this forum/ reading Haynes manuals- I need to swallow my pride and ask for help. I have a 1970 240 that hasn't run since the the late 90's. Since then it was sitting in a barn in rural Nebraska until it came to live with me about a year ago. I've been trying in vein to get this thing to fire up to no avail. I've looked at fuel, spark, timing, and compression with no joy. Here are the particulars: Fuel: Fuel Pump- It has a new mechanical fuel pump that pumps gas when cranked. With the gatorade bottle method, I'm getting what I believe to be pretty good flow a…

Rota RB Help!!! 1 2

First off.... Happy Holidays to all!! I just purchased some ROTA RB's for my 1977 280z. I need some guidance..... It appears as though the stock lug nuts will not work as the lug holes of the new ROTA rims are too narrow to tighten. Any suggestions for lugs? Also, the rims are 15x7. Will a 215/60/15 tire fit without issue? Thanks much in advance! Jeff

Hello all, I am a bit puzzled. Did anybody ever replace the capacitor thingy on a 76´ 280z fuel tank sending unit? Is there any replacement part? My whole sending unit it pristine, just the darn capacitor is completely rusted (guess it was in old petrol too long...) and there is virtually NO junkyard with parts here. Can I salvage an ebay unit for the capacitor? See image stolen from Hybridz for reference, need the small metal tube, everything else is in perfect condition

Newly painted by a professional painter. Willing to sacrifice my 1972 240Z for less than what I have in this car. All it needs is someone to put in the interior and exterior parts. I have 97% of all parts for this car. All new interior. Just needs installed. You will not find a better deal anywhere for a car like this. Cannot find anyone who will finish car for me. Need to sell. This was a car like I owned as a young man and really wanted to restore it. The mechanical has been done and all body and paint work was done by a pro. I spent nearly 8,000 getting the car blasted and repainted.
