The battery is pretty old the alternator is 60 amp two years old is it the battery or alternator ? Any input is appreciated thanks

so, i have the front suspension torn out and almost ready for paint. when i removed the compression rods, this is what i found the new bushings from energy suspension look like this my question for those of you who have replaced these parts is this. what kind of washer did you put on the rod between the new bushing and the rubber boot? will too thick of a washer throw the alignment out of whack enough to make a difference? thanks all sb

https://vimeo.com/141010856 Anyone have any input on this sound. I'm not sure if it's the afm flap, or if it has to do with running lean/rich. It's been idling weird. We've replaced the spark plugs, wires, cap, the injectors are all working (I felt the vibration). Any input greatly appreciated! Sent from my Commodore 64 using Tap and Talk

1977 280Z with upgraded alternator and voltage regulator jumped. My gauge in the car will read 14.5v and car starts just fine. If I turn on my running lights, all electronics die out in the car and gauge drops to 0. Turn everything off and wait a while - power comes back on. If I use my turn signals, nothing happens, but if I use my hazards - same thing. All electrics die and voltage reads 0. Same goes for fan. My headlights work, but nothing else does. Even during the "all electrics dead" period, I am able to crank the engine and start the car. Using a voltmeter, my battery gets 13.5v with engine run…

Took the Z to work and back on Tuesday with no problems; Wednesday it won't start. Pulled the starter solenoid wire and hear nothing from the fuel pump. Working my way through troubleshooting so far: there's no voltage across the fuel pump terminals with the key in the start position. Fuel pump relay clicks with the key in start. All the voltage and continuity checks in the EFI Bible are fine. Negative side has continuity with ground, but the fuel pump runs if I give it 12V straight off the battery, so I guess there's an open circuit somewhere on the hot side. Tomorrow I'm planning on working my way through all the wiring, but are there any fuses or anything obvious…

Hi! I am going to be rebuilding my 76 L28 this year and would like to know what pitfalls to be aware of in the process. I am planning on using a P90 solid lifter cylinder head and flat top pistons. I would like to end up with between 10:1 - 11:1 compression. We have 94 octane fuel in my area. This will be a daily driver for my wife and will not be raced or tracked. Aftermarket Exhaust headers will be used and probably a Pallnet fuel rail with 14mm injectors. Thank you in advance for your tips and help. This forum is full of very helpful people!

Hello classic Zr's. I am having fuel pump-electrical/ignition (mystery solution) "issues" with my 1977280. I am trying to find an owner, mechanic or repair shop that has extensive knowledge of fuel pump electrical circuitry. I can provide an in-depth, write-up of everything that been done/results to date...it is a bit lengthy but will be helpful to anyone trying to resolve. I had onsite assistance before Christmas from a Z owner who had got me to where I am but now is not contact ##. I live in the Asheville-Hendersonville NC area. Any contact and assistance in the WNC or upstate SC Greenville/Spartanburg area is greatly appreciated!! my name is Doug . My ema…

So i've been restoring my brakes and got to the point of reinstalling and checking it all. I went to check the Push rod length and adjust it for proper travel... and it seems like I have a real ways to go, Here is an image of how it sits now, but from other images I've seen it looks like its way too short. By my measurements the tip of the push rod at rest wants to be .368" out from the mating surface Currently it sits at .187" inboard of the mating surface. (picture shows it slightly pulled out so you can see the tip) So i'm missing .555". seems like maybe I have the wrong cap on the pushrod. Wondering how this happened or what has gone wrong. I …

Ok, hoping to get some more advice on my water pump replacement. Had no issues getting the bolts out, there were torqued on very lightly. Got everything back on today, put prestone in , and it started leaking right away. It was leaking from a bolt not tightened enough, one of short bolts, lower right as you face the pump from the front. Pulled the pulley off again (left the radiator in this time) and went to tighten the bolt further. It goes in a ways, but then just rotates, like the hole is stripped? Must have been this way before I pulled it out, cause I didnt strip it going in, or cross thread it. I tried loosening all the other bolts again,and moving t…
