I noticed that my 77 Z is idling a bit rough. It used to idle at around 1100rpm but usually floats around 900rpm. The air come from the exhaust isn’t steady when idling. It feels as if air is coming through and pauses every second or so. i have uploaded a video to try to document my issue. 19058449-ED28-4FE2-8D00-807C5F322FA5.MOV

I parked my z for about a month after rebuilding the engine and driving it to school for about two months. I daily a different car to go to work to save on gas, and when I went to start my car it was dead because I left the radar on. I jump started my car with the daily driven car. But as it charged up enough to start and run, I let it sit for about 15 min. I started to drive it and when the rpms were up and I would let off the gas, the car turns off. I don’t know what the problem would be. (Pictures of rebuild)

This afternoon I was trying to drive my car to get alignment, I know so many things to do, and when shifting from reverse to first my car stalled and would not fire up after. I started testing things and found that I have no power to my fuel pump. It definitely works still since it ran when I shorted it on a battery, and I have ground to its plug. The problem is the positive terminal has no voltage. I then tested all the fuel pump relays according to the FSM and all pass along with continuity from the positive terminal at the pump to the fuel pump relay. Also, I have reseated my oil pump plug and Have tested for voltage when the ignition is in "Start" and not just "On". S…

Hi everyone, I did a coolant flush a few weeks back. I noticed that the coolant temperature gauge fluctuates between in the middle to slightly pass it. I checked underneath the car and no leaks. Fan clutch has no issues either. The Z doesn’t seem to be running badly. i was wondering if i didn’t burp all the air out. It seem to sit right in the middle before I did the coolant flush. I relaxed the coolant with predilluted Peak coolant. What could be wrong?

So im having a hard time figuring out these carbs. I just cant seem to get the mixture correct. Is there anyone local to NYC that knows how to tune these or knows of a shop that can tune these type of carbs. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Please dont tell me to ditch them and get the old round top carbs. I have no intent of buying any old carbs since ill be looking to rb swap later on in the future. Thank you

Good day to everyone! Could someone tell me what the two engine dampers do, ie...their function and I checked the oil in there and it is low. What weight oil, 10W-20, would be the best? Also, would you add while the engine is on? Do not want to over fill and they are a little “funky”! Thanks, Tom

Hi! So ive been having an issue getting my 1977 280z to start. I have spark, compression, and have been running fuel manually with an extra battery and test leads on the fuel pump. I think it sounds like the engines firing, but it just doesnt wanna turn over. Any suggestions?

I just bought this new pump and got it installed in my 1977 280z, but nothing seems to be happening. I don’t even hear it priming. Any suggestions? I even used the multimeter to make sure I was getting power, and I was I indeed. I don’t recall how much power I was getting, but it wasn’t a full 12v. Would that be an issue?

I’m looking to install new shocks in my Ground Control Coilovers. They were built to spec as per the included instructions. I’m not sure what size to order for the front and rears. Anyone help me with what shocks to order? Thanks

Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for any help you can give me. My 1976 280z was running fine last time I drove it, but after sitting in the CA sun for 2 years, I'm struggling to get it back on the road. After draining out the old gas, I have a new battery, new spark plugs, and a couple gallons of new gas in. When I go to start it, all I get is cranking, and no turn over, and I have yet to hear the fuel pump cone on. I've tried moving the new battery to the rear and getting 12v to the fuel pump directly, but this doesn't get the fuel pump going either, just a click. I also don't seem to be getting power to the fuel pump when cranking. Any ideas on w…

Hey guys I’m new to this website but I have read a ton of stuff on here and it’s been a great help so that’s why I’ve joined. Anyways my 78 280z has been running fine for a while, I have all new fuel injectors, fuel pump, and afm. My fuel pump relay was bad so I wired up a switch to the wires where the fuel pump relay normally connects to and it’s worked fine. Recently however it has been idling horribly at around 500 rpm, but when I flip the fuel pump switch to off it jumps right back up to 1000rpm and idles fine until it dies from fuel starvation. It will also occasionally die out in addition to not accelerating sometimes. I’ll be driving and suddenly the power will not…
