I replaced by rack and pinion last weekend. Its a rebuilt unit from carsteering.com. As far as I know it's a genuine OEM original part but just rebuilt. I assume dimensions of the rack are original at this point. When I assembled everything back together the tires are visibly toe out and the adjustments on the rack are bottomed out. There is a good 5 threads or so visibly exposed on the inner tie rod thread. (see pic) (both left and right side are consistent) Looking at the old rack, it looks like I had cut the threads down to make it all fit, but can't remember why I did exactly that. It's been too long.!!! Maybe for this exact problem...I just cant remember. I had rep…

Just wondering if the geometry of the throttle plate on DCOE's, SKs, Mikufies, etc is such that there is no side-to-side play when the plates are closed but there is if the plates are open? Is this a sign of wear? I'm seeing this on my SK's but not on a brand new 55DCO so it is strange. The SK's seal tight (confirmed with a liquid and light test) so it is hard to understand wear being a cause. I am wondering if the plates need to be adjusted right or left relative to the shaft as when I open the SK's, I note the throttle shaft travels to one side smoothly then when closing, it returns the other way to its original condition...thus the throttle plate always travelli…

Well I got the new speedo pinion gear, oil seal and O ring, put them on/into the housing and guess what? The housing won't go back into the tranny! I've got it sitting in the freezer until tomorrow, any other suggestions as how to put this B***H back in will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Mike

I have a 1976 stock 280z. I'm trying to get my blower fan working. I opened the fuse box today and found a broken clip on the A/C fuse. How do I find a replacement and would that make the blower not work?

L28 engine with triple SK/OER carbs, running beautifully last fall. Transplanted the engine into 1970 240z using the same ignition setup. Have not altered timing or carb adjustment. I did adjust the valves but only a couple were out. When I start the engine I have to floor it to keep it going, if I let rpms get under 4000 it dies with back firing through the carbs, new RX7 fuel pump working fine. Help please. Thanks, Chris

73 240z automatic e88 head The head on my 73 is most likely warped or cracked. I bought it this way. Tried to replace the head gasket and it still leaks coolant into a cylinder. I ordered a complete head from a parts yard, that i intend on replacing my damaged on with. My question is: can i replace the head in the same manner that i removed the previous one (wedging the chain at TDC) ? Or do i have to remove the front cover and start over with setting the timing?

Hey guys, is there another name for Auxiliary air valve? (1976 280z) I called up few of the local parts store and they "looked" at me funny as if Auxiliary air valve doesn't exist...just because it's not in their system.

My speedo quit working the other and I noticed some oil around the pinion gear. I tried to loosen the speedo cable and the pinion gear just pulled out of the tranny because the little ear piece was loose and ahd turned. I know there are O rings and seals for the gear and the cable, but can't find and diagrams to show where they go, the only one I know for sure( also the only one I found) is the O ring around the gear holder. I need to replace the black gear as its sorta chewed up. The tranny is a 79 Z 5 speed and the cable is the stock 75. I need a diagram of some sort to know what goes where and I can't find it in the FSM. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
