I have 1976 280Z w/ Rebello 3L L28 with Jenvey ITB's. Makes 325 hp. Took car to to first track day since engine install Monday. When tank gets to about 1/2 full, fuel sloshes away from fuel pick up in bottom tank causing engine to stumble. I'm using stock tank with original pickup and returns going to Airtex high flow fuel pump mounted on modified stock fuel pump bracket and stock fuel lines to fuel filter. Has anyone else had similar problem or solution? This is primarily a street driven car with occasional track days and autocross events. I really don't want to chop up and install fuel cell.

76’ 280z California version (manf. 9/75) I’m planning on doing my first oil change since purchasing the car about a year ago. PO’s mech used Royal Purple oil (20w50 HPS) and RP filter. It has been running fine, no leaks. There’s really no complaints, just looking to treat this old engine better if possible. After doing some research on the interwebs, I’m thinking about switching to Amsoil with zinc additive. But as usual when overthinking something simple, it leads to more questions. Anyone using this stuff? Is the zinc additive a good idea? Or should I avoid it and why? Recommendations on viscosity (the 20w50 that PO used seems a bit thick...)? Recommendati…

A buddy of mine with pets and a similar love of cars put me onto a great shop convenience and floor maintenance idea. Puppy Pads. Let's face it. If you have a Datsun, you have dribbles under your Datsun. If you take the engine out for example, you forget to cap the heater coolant pipes on the engine, and even though you drained the rad, when you tip the engine as it comes out, antifreeze hits the floor in great quantities. (I myself have never done this... I just imagine it's an issue). Puppy pad absorbent sheets are utterly fantastic. Big (30x23inch), cheap, super absorbent, did I mention cheap? 100 pads are $25 CAD at Costco. I used to use newspapers, but I no…

For years, I've read about people fiddling with a Hatch Release of one sort or another. Stuff from other cars, Inverting the lock to the boby and the catch bar to the hatch (I did this one) and even as far as running a release cable from the roof - thru the hatch frame and over to the lock. Anyways, I was discussing possible idea's with Stan, a friend of mine, and I came up with this one. Went down to the 260Z and went to work. I pulled the rear cover on the hatch, Latch assembly and the hatch lock. Took a 3/32" dia. rod and cut it at 1". Then gave it a slight bend in the center, about 30 degrees, then bent some 1/8" feet on the ends. then set it aside. Inside the la…

If you were born in 1970, according to this article, the most important car in the United States was the 240Z. https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/g23320934/car-history/?utm_source=taboola_arb&utm_medium=cpm&utm_campaign=arb_tb_pop_d_t_g23320934&slide=51
