I cant get this to start. I thought it had bad gas in from sitting but its fresh and doesnt smell raw. The PO said they have been fresh gas with stabilizer to it. Will start on carb cleaner but only run on whats sprayed into the carb. I took the outgoing line off the fuel pump to check pressure by plugging the hole with my finger. When I do that I no force at all trying to push my finger off the hole. The fuel filter and fuel pump are bone dry. Fuel pump or clogged fuel line? What the fuel pressure supposed to be?

I need some help determining the length of a 1970 driveshaft. Either from the center of each yoke or u-joint or just the length of the shaft itself up to the weld ring for the yokes. Thanks

Howdy, On my 78 280z I have decided to install some aftermarket gauges to monitor oil pressure and water temp. Would anyone know off the top of their head if the threads on the stock oil pressure sender are bspt or bspp. The sender unit that came with my new gauge is a npt so I am looking for the correct adapter. Thanks, Tex

Is there supposed to be any sort of clamp or band around the innermost shifter boot to hold it into place, or is it just a snug fit alone that does it?

After my car heats up, I cannot shift into reverse while the engine is running. Just grinds. I have to turn the car off, then put into reverse, and restart. If its cold, I have no issue putting the car into reverse with the engine running.

Hi all! Found several threads on the subject of stuck fill plugs in the tran of diff in my search for tips as I made the same mistake as many other people: Draining the trans oil before checking that the fill plug does open... Basic problem seem to be shortage of appropriate tools, you just can't apply enough torque with an open wrench or a crescent wrench without risking rounding the plug and never getting it out. I searched the net and went to a few tool shops but none of them had a female 17mm square socket avaliable. However, there is a quite easy solution that gives you a much bigger, endless really, choise of wrenches, breaker bars etc. I had a friend of mine cu…

My z has a run issue after it warms up. I can drive around for about five of so minutes. Park and let it idle, and this is what happens. I turned up the idle so that it would run long enough for me to video it. It normally dies when this happens. It will do this continuously even after I restart the car. I am guessing it is a fuel problem at the carb. Thoughts? Here is the video:

Pretty important item to replace but I'm not quite sure which is the correct gasket. Reason is I got an early L28 model one and it's nothing like the one already one the motor. Thanks in advance.

Most Friday nights I take my S1 (HLS30-17269) out for a run up an down the beach. This Friday, as usual, we stopped by Ricky T's for a bite to eat. So far, so good. Unfortunately, when we'd decided to go home, I pushed in the clutch, turned the key, and she (the car) lurched forward. After some fiddling, I realized that there was NO CLUTCH. I had to be towed home (Thanks Hagerty's) and tried to diagnose the problem on Saturday. There is a lot of hydraulic fluid on the Tranny housing, but I could not see an obvious leak either on the Clutch Master or Clutch Slave cylinders. I tried to find a leak in the slave hose, but couldn't find it. To make life easy, I am going…
