Trying once again to get this thing on the road again. as I am no mechanic, I have in the hands of a shop. I am trying to get some idea of what is fair $$. What should I expect to pay to get fuel tank boiled, cleaned and sealed? And what should I expect to pay for a sending unit? The tank is rusty for sure. know nothing in re to sending unit. Also says clutch master and slave need replacement. It seems the slave was replaced about 3 yrs ago, but has been sitting all that time. Valve adjustment??

Hello to all. . . Hopefully someone can shed some light. Starting a jan 71 car with 260 engine I just bought after 15 garaged years. Loaded the cylinders with penetrating oil, waited 3 days. Changed the oil and pre-filled the new filter with oil. Valve cover is off and I'm hand turning the crank and waiting for oil on the rockers. . . Seems like I turned 30 or 40 revolutions so far and still no sign. Do I keep going or order a new oil pump? Thought it would be there by now. . . . . Andy

Hi, I didn't drive my z for three months, so I put a car cover and tarp on it and let her set for a bit. I came back to a very moldy Z car. Lesson learned, she's going in the garage next time ?. I cleaned up the mold and started her up, started like I never left as was running great. I let her run for about 10 minutes, and then the idle started to get lumpy and it was surging. I went on a drive around the block and it had very little power and consistently wanted to die. I parked it and tried to start it back up and now she won't start at all. I have gone through the EFI bible a good bit, tested all the injector circuits, tested the water temp sensor, c…

So its probably a head gasket, but i just wanted to ask around. My cars been sitting for a bout a year; ive been getting it back up and running after replacing the heater core.... I noticed yesterday when i was idling the car for about 20-30min there was a good amount of thin white smoke coming out of the exhaust; smelt more of fuel my initial thought was that there could have been condensation build up from sitting for so long, no biggie lets just warm it up, and drive it. After a certain amount of time it stopped too, which was a good sign. Today when i was draining the coolant upon removing the rad cap, i stuck my finger in it, and realized there wa…

Looking for some input and pictures of what tire size you may have currently on your Z with stock rims. I have been all through old threads looking for pictures and recommendations. Attached are the stock wheel I have. 14 inch rims 5.5 inches wide. Currently they have 195/70/14 tires. I want a more aggressive look but stay with the stock 14 inch wheels. I have heard 205/70/14, 215/60/14 and 225/60/14. Not sure if any or all will fit my 5.5 wide rims? Also, if you are running any of those I mentioned.... would love to see a picture of how it looks on your car! Thanks for your help! Jeff

I need to replace my clutch (78 280z) I ofcourse need to drop my drive shaft first...........At the rear differential there is absolutly no way in hell I can get a wrench or socket on any of the 4 nuts ......what is the secret???? My bleeding knuckles really want to know. The nuts are aiming toward the rear of the car and there is just no room to work.....It seems that they would be positioned forward to be able to get a wrench on the darn thing.

I'm trying to figure out the market for the 1969 blue export car below. Orange turn lights seems to be non-North America but red quarter markers seems to be non-Europe? LHD rules out most British colonies + Japan. Radio delete also indicates either a entry level low option or some sort of sport model. Plate says Fairlady Z to make it more complex. Any ideas of this car's configuration and raison d'être?
