   Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has a source for new fuel pump spacers. Seems like Nissan, Fel-Pro, and Beck-Arnley are all out-of-stock and discontinued. Quick google didn't find anything. Trying to source this out for a co-worker. Hoping to light a fire under his arse to get his 260Z back on the road soon. Thanks!

   OK to lift 280Z by the control arms?

   OK Z community...had a new set of tires installed today and the shop lifted my 280z by the control arms, front and rear. I called them on it, citing the front cross-member, differential, rockers, even chassis rails, as a better lifting point...was told I was wrong. Now there is a new clunk over bumps, and wandering steering.

   280zx distributor spacer ? - into 71 1 2

   I have a D6k8-02 distributor. The tangs with the threads don't line up. You can see in the pic the hole with the threads sticking out. They are supposed to be bolted together aren't they? The spacer's tang is at 9 o'clock when put in car. Should I have a different spacer? thank you very much.

    Why are the threads doubling and triple posting? I noticed that with my "Horn stopped working because...." thread. But the pic I down attached didn't attach in the second one. Weird. Anyone else notice this?

    Smoother Idle at Low RPMS on a 240z

    I was advise that besides tuning both carbs (still getting spark plugs 4 and 5 black), if i replaced the following parts, the idle could get smoother below 3,000 RPM: K & N E-2910 Air Filter http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?prod=E-2910 Magnecor Spark plug wire set: http://whiteheadperformance.com/products/magnecor-competition-kv85-8-5mm-spark-plug-wires-6524-datsun-240z-260z-280z-280zx-l24-l26-l28/ My car has a petronix ignitor and 3.0 ohms petronix coil. If upgrading these parts will give me a smoother idle and less hesitation, i will make my order. Otherwise, if it is useless, i wont bother! Please advise!

    71 grille bolts ?

    What's going on here? Should the outer long bolts be that long, like in pic? There's a few inches extra sticking down. Thank you very much.
