So, I follow a lot of Z guys in Japan on Instagram, check out these connectors for a fuel sender, I like the shape of the rubber cover. anyone seen anything like this? Mine are super stiff, and I cant get a good connection on the sender, seems to be finicky.

So the car never had one, just plugged. I got one from oreilys for $12. Looks weird, not the original can type. Anyway, with it unplugged from the sending unit, no gauge movement, key on or running. With it plugged in it does a full sweep with just turned to on, then when running goes to zero. Is the sending unit just bad?

Hey guys, I know there might already be a forum about this but I haven't been able to locate it myself. I accidentally hooked a jumper box into my 1978 280z backwards and now the fuel pump as well as the dummy light for the alternator both stay on when the battery is connected. I thought it could be a fried ignition switch but even when I unplugged it they both stayed on. The car fires up and idles perfectly. If anyone could help me out I'd really appreciate it.

So after Dave and I did quite a bit of electoral work my car is running a lot better. The engine missing is almost completely gone. Only problem is my engine RPMs are still dropping when I brake, when they start dropping in the 500 area my engine begins to miss. When I first start the car up and I'm letting it warm up if I push on the brakes i hear a distinct Whoosh/hissing sound. Then my engine rpms drop 100-300. This also happens when I put the car into neutral at stop lights and signs. Which sometimes puts my car into the danger zone RPM wise and stalls the car on occasion. Does this sound like the symptoms of a failing/leaky brake booster? I never thought anything of…

1977 280z the last year of externally regulated alternators for the z cars. Over the winter I purchased some parts for the cars, one of which was the 60amp zx internally regulated alternator from Zcardepot to gain the reliability on the integrated voltage regulator . This is a common swap that I am sure has been done a thousand times or more. Of course, after removing my perfectly functional externally regulated alternator and installing the new one - no charge output. I used Blue's well documented wiring diagram to unplug the regulator and make the connections on the 6 pin harness connector to jumper sense line and complete the circuit. Pins 1 to 5 and 2 to…

I'm helping a club member finish his BRE tribute car. Some parts went AWOL during the decade at the body shop... no BS. Currently it is raised to run the brake and fuel lines but the owner lost the originals along with the fastening hardware. I'm currently looking for the rubber insulators and brackets to hold all lines. Grateful is someone has these parts for sale!

Ok guys, I've have issues with my blinkers ever since I got my '78 280z a couple months ago. I've searched and searched on this forum and others. Please nobody reply with "try using the search" because believe me I have... a lot. I know this is a relatively common problem and most threads seem to point toward the hazard switch as being the root problem. At first my hazards worked, but irregularly. Sometimes they came on sometimes not. I took apart the switch and cleaned everything and sanded the contacts. Now hazards work perfectly every time no matter what. Then I took apart the blinker switch and noticed some issues. To be safe I sent it and the combo switch to Dave (@Z…

Hi all, Finally got my 76' 280Z going, but whenever the brake pedal is pressed the engine revs up to about 3000rpm. Any ideas? Hole in the brake booster? Brakes still work as usual. Any ideas for a cheap fix? Thanks in advance JD

Hi guys. Been a lurker here forever! Picked up a 74 last summer and haven’t had the time to sort it out. Anyone recommend a tech or mechanic in the LI or metro NY area? Car came with triple webbers but seem to be wired up or lined up wrong. If you spray starter fluid, she fires up and sounds pretty damn good. But the throttle and the choke seemed to have been routed at the same line by the previous owner ??. I own a business and really have not had any time to just sort out the damn thing. Any direction to a trustworthy guy that can take this job on would be much appreciated. -A…

Hey guys so I recently replaced my fuel pump (Has a max psi of 95), my car started to run perfectly fine for the first time. Fast forward 2 months...I start it up and it died as if it didn't have gas. So I decided to change the FPR since it was hissing. Then my car started up again but it dies if I don't apply gas. So I looked back at my pump and I see this filter looking thing on top of the pump(I didn't see it the first time, this is my first project car I'm learning). I know it's connected to the fuel system so I'm wonder is this a fuel filter? Like an additional one? Also for the FPR (Fuel Pressure regulator) what's a good psi to have it before i try to start I know i…
