Can anyone identify the model year application for the left throttle bell housing pivot (TBHP) ? (The right TBHP appears to be from a 1970 240Z.) Thanks, Keith

I am having a FS5w71B transmission rebuilt and I am trying to provide the shop with a complete inventory of bearing and seal sizes before they open it up. Has anyone already done this? I have the part numbers for all of this stuff taken from the Car Parts Manual site, but that doesn't give me the ID/OD/Width info and weather or not any of them are sealed. I suppose I could just get a rebuild kit, but I wanted to have this on hand to ensure everything goes smoothly once they get to it. Does anyone have this info on hand? I've dug through the forum and can't find it.

I have a timing issue that I need help with. 8 months ago I had my damper pulley rebuilt on my 75 280. I replaced the damper and everything was fine. I haven’t put the car on the street in several years , but start and let it run every couple of weeks. So for months the motor would start and run fairly well. The motor always had a very small mis at idle and up to about 1500 rpm. This was unusual as I never have been able to get the motor to run as smooth as I wanted. I should also mention that the motor was totally rebuilt many years ago and only has about 50 miles on the clock. I tried to start the car several days ago and it was hard to start, several ba…

Quick question for you guys. I have changed the fuel injectors, added an in-line check valve between the filter and fuel rail, and changed the fuel pump but I still get a drop in fuel rail pressure overnight. I had a fuel pressure gauge on it and between last night and this morning it went from 36 to 20 psi and will probably be down to 0 within a day or so. Not that this is a problem since with an electric fuel pump the car pressurizes quickly on startup but was just curious where else a check valve could be that might be failing.

I have unearthed a new L6 oil pan I had stashed in the attic. Now I don't know what model it fit. Can anyone help ID this pan? The rusty one is off a 1979 L28, I think. The new black one has the Nissan sticker as pictured with part # 11110-P01000. You will note they have the sump in different areas. Thanks for any help in refreshing my mind. I have this medical problem, CRS. You know, "can't remember S__t" Phred

Howdy again, folks... Now that the bulk of our carburetor issues have been resolved (thanks to so many of you here in these forums!), the boys and I are messing around with some other issues on the car. I finally put a timing light on the engine and though I am pretty sure I can see the mark on the pulley, it looks like the little plate with teeth on it that indicates degrees of advance is missing. So it would help me if you would look at this short video and the link below to let me know if I a) do in fact need to buy a replacement, and b) have the right one. Is this the one? https://zcardepot.com/products/ignition-timing-indicator-tab…

I have two 240Z rads. I'm trying to keep the car as original as practical, but have found that one rad has a common brass petcock , while the other has a threaded plastic plug. Can anyone tell me which is stock for a late-1971 240? Thanks

Hi I had a McLeod clutch kit installed about 5-years ago but only put maybe 2-3K miles on the car and it is shot. That was using my 5-speed transmission which I just switched out to a 4-speed last year. Hopefully, whatever caused the issue with the clutch will be corrected now. From the looks of the wear, it seems that the disc was cupped slightly. McLeod only sells replacement discs for some of their American car products. Is there any reason why I couldn't just replace the disc with one from another manufacture? If so, any suggestions? Thanks Jeff

Hi All, I need to put a clutch in my 75 280Z and I was a little confused by all the clutch kits out there for this very early production 1975 model. It looks like it takes a 9 1/2" by a 1.24" clutch, since it is a 4 seater, and with the very inevitable switch from a 4 speed to a FS5W71B 5 speed transmission, will the OEM clutch Kit for this 4 speed by adequate for a 5 speed ? Thank you,
