Hi All, I am having an issue with the coolant in my '71 240Z. After I drive it and it warms up I notice coolant in the seam of the radiator, which I've determined it is coming from the overflow spout. I assume it isn't normal that it pushes coolant out after only driving it 10-15 minutes in 50 degree weather? Then yesterday after I drove it I opened up the hood and heard a sizzling sound that seemed to be coming from the thermostat housing, although it was difficult to tell exactly. The radiator was new last year and I also replaced the radiator cap. Do I have a head gasket issue? By the way, the temperature gauge reads as it always has (although from what I understand…

Back in the day I bought a clutch MC from my FLAPS whose piston was too short. The pedal was never able to return to the stop and the clutch never felt like it was totally disengaging. My car is a 7/72 build, right on the cusp for some changes so maybe I think I ordered the wrong one? Anyways, which do I need? Can I order, say, a '71 or a '73/'74 just to be safe? As information, I'm ordering the MC, slave and lines as a set. Thanks.

I was doing the head gasket on my 76 280z. I had wedge the timing tensioner with a wooden block i made and when I popped off the cam sprocket i realized that my wedge was to long so the sprocket would just sit on the wedge I made and I could not take it off. so i decided to put the sprocket back on to trim the wedge some more and it wouldn't go back on. I used a screw driver to pry it up some but it just would not go up no matter how much force i put into it! so i thought damn i think I lost the tension.. I asked my cousin to help me put it back on and he dropped the washer down the timing area and into the block.. Now what? how can i get it out and what is my next step t…

Hi, I am currently working on changing the gasket between the head and the thermostat housing on my 1976 280z manual Datusn fuel injected. My housing has four sensors, see pic below. The top right sensor next to the gauge sensor is the one that the cable broke while I was working on it I took it off and it dosent seem to be a sensor its just empty inside, do I really need this sensor? Can any one help me in telling me what each sensor is and does? I dont have an electric fan its just driven by the belt Also since I am here, can you also tell me where does the back hose does or ends up at?
