I've searched until I have a headache--- I borrowed this image of the pump from Jarvo2's post--mine is identical to it. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/attachments/carburetors-s30/60523d1359306634-240z-electric-fuel-pump-installation-fp_original.jpg This sheet shows the part number for the assembly. It doesn't come up when entered into a Courtesy Nissans part search. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/attachments/carburetors-s30/60524d1359306635-240z-electric-fuel-pump-installation-fp_instructions.jpg My pump body is in great shape and it works electrically----but the internal filter is missing. I'd like to replace the filter, but can't come up with a part number for i…

I'm still trying to put the strut that holds the rear hatch up back onto my car. I was missing a bracket, but I have since gotten hold of one (thanks Jerry) It looks exactly the same as I remembered, yet I cannot work out how or where is fits :stupid: Would someone be able to take a picture of their bracket/strut so I can see if I am still missing something. It's the end that fixes to the body. I have a 73 240Z. I have checked my manual, but unfortunately, the exploded parts view thing stops at the strut, so no help there. Thanks guys Scott

Hi Guys and Gals, I need help getting my 10/69 Fairlady ZL back on the road this spring. Currently she covered up out in the cold waiting to be fixed, I'll start as soon as it warms up, if it ever will. The clutch went and I'm gonna need some parts. I've replaced the clutch in my 218hp. 240Z back in 94 with a CenterForce II, it's still going strong. I don't think I'll need a high performance clutch for the Fairlady, a 200hp. 5-speed. I'll need the clutch, pressure plate, maybe a flywheel, throwout bearing & spring, needle bearing, and all the rubber gaskets & boots for the tranny. Any suggestions? In case I have to write to Nissan, I wrote to them years ago c/o …

I installed a 280zx alt in my 260z, I had it wired up perfect but the "sense" wire had no power going to it, I ran a jumper wire to the battery and I had 14.6-14.8 output. Awesome it works, but I've just been connecting and disconnecting the jumper wire when I go to start it. I heard on most alternators you can run a constant power wire for the sense post but, the factory had it get power there when the key is forward. As I read its through the wire that is supposed to supply sense power that the gauge is run. I don't that much about the gauge right now. I tried running it off of a "run" position power source, but as some power is lost through the switch I now read 15.08.…

I have a 1972 240z with round tops. I rebuilt the carbs with the Ztherapy kit. I got the car warmed up and tuned them as best I could but when I went to drive the car, it struggled to move along. The car revs up fine while in neutral. I tried messing with the timing and it did nothing to help. I checked the vacuum advance in the distributor and it appeared to be functioning properly. The spark plugs are new. I pulled the fuel lines that go from the fuel rail to each carburetor and cranked it for 20 seconds or so and they both flowed well and the gas was clean. The float levels have been set properly. I took the return fuel line of and blew air through it and i could hea…

Good morning everybody, Its been a while and as a different user since I have been in the group. The my 1974 260z sold itself. So I had the itch to get another and found a 1972 240z. Went to look at the car and the guy put the wires backwards to start the car. After a short sizzle and some odor I realized what he had done. he had a video of it running a couple of days earlier so I was comfortable with the buy. But now I'm at work and regretting letting him do it. Because now there is no response to life other than the brake lights working. nothing else in the car reacts to the battery being plugged in. My question is: If the fuseable link coming off the starter is bad, wo…

Hi, I have just bought my first z, but I have a problem which I'm not able to figure out. The car is a stock 280z with a l28. The engine runs good when it's cold but when it gets warm it starts to have a rough idle and it will not rev smoothly. It can run bad for some time and all of a sudden it will be able to rev smooth and without any backfire through the AFM/air filter. If i try to drive the car it will stumble on acceleration and it will eventually die out. But the engine will easily fire up again just after it has died. And it can run smooth again for several minutes before the same problem occurs again. Or it can still have a rough/unstable idle and have trouble re…

First off this is really long but please read, I need some help figuring out whats next. OK so this whole mess started out in october when I first took over the Z fighting and fighting to get it running right it ran decent when it was first brought back from slumber. But I had bad tank issues which soon caused it to not run at all, then that led to a carb rebuild, and no matter what I couldn't get it to run right, run yes but never consistently, could barely make it up the driveway missed like hell and couldn't stay running with the choke on. And fouled back plugs in minutes, and the rest in hours. Seeing as it fouled the back plugs so quick I figured carb adjustment i…

Just below the hood release latch in my Z, there is a black box with two white female end plugs coming from the unit. I found two different sets of numbers: The first set was on a green tag: Part #: All-600 000 Lot #: 6310 For: L28 The second, on a white tag: Part #: A14-100 003 Lot #: 6211K Is this thing the Engine Control Module? If so where do I plug those white plugs into? I can't find any other plugs that could reach there. If anyone has any advice that'd be really helpful! Thanks a lot all of you. John
