After my beloved '72 finally succumbed to the heartless rust gods (my fault for living in Ottawa, Canada) I went looking for a replacement. Eventually I was able to get my hands on a '77 from So/Cal with a solid body, but not running (warped head/blown head gasket). After doing the rebuild and putting everything back together I'm experiencing a problem with the charging system. There is a little red light in the voltmeter which remains 'on' whether the car is running or not (it even stays on when the key is removed from the ignition). I'm assuming that this is not normal?! When the car is running the voltmeter continually overcharges, in proportion to the engine speed. …

I am very close to completing my restore of my '73 240Z. However when I installed new doors seals, (a complete rubber kit from Z Therapy), I can not get the doors to close. Are the seals bad or am I doing somthing wrong? Thanks in advance, Jeff

Maybe getting the problem narrowed down. Tried to start the car with no success. Gas not getting to the filter. Blew out the fuel line to the tank, it bubbled nicely. Checked for a filter or pump near the tank-none. Put a gas line into a container of gas and the car started right up. Hooked up the lines and tried again-started right up. Any ideas? This could be something that acts intermittantly since in the past the car just acts like it has run out of gas. I am eager to solve this problem, almost ready to change my user name to "12manyz"

Ok it was fine till this morning and here is what happend. I started the car and it idled fine for a few seconds, then died, i recranked it and pulled full choke to warm it up. Initially the engine revved to about 2500 rpms just fine, but then it started sputtering like it was fireing on about one or maybe 2 cylinders for several seconds, so i shut it off. I went to restart it and the rear dome light blew out and the car would not so much as crank over. I charged the battery and replaced both battery cables, but there is nothing i turn the key and no lights no click, no nothing. All fuses are intact as well. My daughter and i pushed the car the 300 feet to the Car Qu…

Hello,I am 16 and have just purchased my first car ever...a '71 240Z, very good condition, 1450$ for it cnd funds so i thought it was a good deal, turned it over adn voila it started after siting for 2-3 years... when it's running teh last three cylinders aren't getting a good spark...i say good cause when i use a timming light it shows no spark...

Im almost ready body-wise to drop in a power plant. I've got a VG30, which I was planning to slot in, but have decided to go with a stock motor, so I can just get the thing back on the road. Thing is, I sold the original one! (oops) So, what I want is a ready to run reco motor, that I dont have to mess about with too much. What I am wondering, is wheres the best place to go, sort of canberra / sydney (maybe melbourne) area? Or should I just keep scouring the Trading Post. Any ideas, plugs welcome.... Oh, I need a box too.... How much should I pay for the lot?
