I've got a 25 page thread going on another forum and have been pulling my hair out for about a month on this car. Thought I'd post over hear and maybe get some fresh ideas. History. I bought this car about a month ago. I'm the 3rd owner. Car has 108k miles on it. Solid body, garage kept for it's entire life exept the last two years. Original owner was a female who bought the car out of med school in 78 and garage kept it for the first 95,000. Records in the car show that the original owner had 89000 miles on it in the mind 90's, so it hasn't been driven much at all in the last 15 years. Original owner supposedly only drove it a few times each year and would get the oil ch…

I've searched high & low without avail and I'm hoping someone can assist me with identifying the various sizes (I.D.) of vacuum hoses that I'll need to replace on my stock '72 240z. I'm going for functionality, not points so I'm fine going with auto-parts store grade vacuum hosing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Just went to change my oil and found the filter canister somewhat dented in at the outboard edges. This was a WIX filter that the shop I had work on my carbs put on because it was dumping fuel into the crankcase. It is smaller than the factory filter but I am not sure that would cause it to collapse! Any ideas? I am putting a factory filter on with the oil change...

Just installed a cannon intake for triple webers on the '71 240z last evening but the stock rod from the firewall to the cannon is too long. Is there a year that the 240z rod was shorter? Presently the rod is at the machine shop getting shortened.

I have a 76 280Z in excellent condition that needs a steady mechanic. Car runs great except I'm still having issues with high fuel consumption and high idle. Been to a couple of local shops but none that know these cars well enough to find the problem. It just failed smog test so I've got to find the right person to figure out the problem.

I am not actually the owner of a 280, I am the owner of two 1977 710 wagons. One is a parts car that was my first datsun, a rusty mechanic owned and duck taped beauty. It ran before I started using it for parts for a perfectly kept garaged wagon I found about a year later. If anyone knows of a forum better suited for 710's please let me know. When I search on line I keep getting directed to this forum, so I thought I would give it a shot, not sure if anyone here can help me. Me and my second wagon had a wonderful time for the first two years. Until gas was leaking profusely out of the base of the carburator. I decided to get the carb rebuilt rather than buy a new carburat…
