Hello all, I have been reading several old threads on installing the electric fuel pump but I am stump on a few things. To provide you a little background, the previous owner of my 240z had installed a electric fuel pump into the car but did not use the factory wires that were available for use in the installation of a electric fuel pump and I would like to revert it back using these supplied wires that exist in the harness. it appears the previous owner ran his own wire from the fuel pump into this relay. now the reason why I would also like to revert back to using the factory electrical wires that were provide for the electric fue…

Hello, I’m just a novice gear head and learning as I go. I have an early series 1970 240Z and I think the ignition switch is not working. The pic show the switch which has one tab which I circled. The tab fits nicely in a slot in the ignition housing with a screw. However, replacements have two tabs. Do I buy one and file off a tab? Does it matter? Thank you in advance.

So I noticed black smoke coming out of the car, my first thought is the car running to rich plus the exhaust is actually garbage and the catalytic converter is stock from factory (1978) so I assume the exhaust to be the reason for the black smoke as it is dirty, rusty, and black from the inside, but today I noticed droplets of black liquid, now from what I know this could be condensation+the unburnt fuel= black droplets (cold start), as I have driven the car and have not smelled burnt oil nor seen the oil levels drop. Am I wrong? I will inspect spark plugs to see if they show signs of unburnt fuel due to running rich. Can anyone help with ideas to what it could be? (New e…

I appreciate any helpful input I may get from you all. I finally have my new to me 1971 240z running and idling on its own. I decided to try and tackle figuring out why my gauges were not getting power. I went to the fuse box and found a fuse missing that I think supply’s power to the dash. I placed a fuse in this empty slot and, behold the three dash gauges are all functioning as they should. Happy and relieved I went to turn off the by turning the key in the ignition. Key all the way out of the steering column and in hand, car still is running…… puzzlers I go to the engine bay and remove BOTH battery cables from the battery and the car continues to run. Baffles and co…

Would anyone in this forum know where I could locate a valve string compressor tool similar to the kd tools 3087 that’s no longer available? Would be willing to buy a second hand one if someone has one laying around. Please pm me

Stupid mistake and I broke the front end unloading from a trailer. MSA Type 2 body kit nose caught. When I completed the car back in 2006, we bonded the front air dam to the headlight buckets and fenders for seamless connection. This accident forced the nose upward, broke headlight buckets, moved front of fenders up and back. My local body shops say they don't work on anything this old and I worry about their capabilities too. I'm in southwest Georgia (north of Albany). Anyone got recommendations? Other things that make it more difficult: custom paint color and stripes, Atlanta Glasslife ceramic coating on top of paint.

When I removed the old fuel filler neck I noticed some sort of seal on the underside where it screws to the body. I'm guessing that this is to help prevent exhaust fumes from entering the cabin. What should be used to help seal this when installing the new fuel filler neck? See pictures for location I'm talking about.

So my girlfriend owns a 810 and since its essentially a L24 from a 240z I assume this temperature gauge sensor works (picture below). Although it says 1970-1983 in the description so still skeptical. Does anyone know if this sensor will work? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Background: 1970z-L28F54 engine- Starter sometimes would not crank, other times it would, so i figured that the starter was bad. Since its probably over 20+ years old minimum, I figured the Z could use a new starter, so I bought a new High Torque starter and installed. Then tested it. It did the same thing, (so I probably wasted the money, but at least I know that component is new) and THEN I NOTICED that whenever it would not start, the turn signals would not make any sound (flasher sounds) and the signals would not work. The funny (not really funny) thing is that IF i test it and crank it every 5 minutes for a half hour, some of the times it will crank, the…

I am bringing by 1971 240 back and want to replace the seats with some leather more comfortable seats that fit and look like they belong. The only company recommended so far was corbeau. If anyone has gone thru this process I would like to hear your feedback.
