so, I replaced the ignition coil and was happy to see spark from "secondary ignition" test with chasis/body ground.... is it not the beginning of secondary when it comes out of the ignition coil? anywho, there was a strong spark from the coil now.... trying to crank: I heard a couple of detonations on two occasions while cranking but nothing more as far as trying to get her started.... so I checked the plugs and they were highly fouled with carbony goop... I've never seen such coagulation before.....black tar.... I cleaned the plugs off and only heard a couple of coughs while trying to start it after letting her sit for the time it took me to pull plugs, clean'em of…

Door Seals

I purchased a full set of seals for my 78'Z from Motorsport. I only installed the door seal on the drivers side because it seemed too thick. I have to slam the door really hard to close it tight and the road noise is more than before. I was hoping that over time, it would compress. It has been 6mo. and no improvement. Does anyone have any tips. thanks

Sorry, the search button didn't help me. A former US soldier who served in Germany brought his Z to a german scrapyard some times ago. I do not even know whether it was a 240 or a 260 as the car is in pieces now. I got a 5 speed tranny that I installed today and it works fine. As the speedo-adapter (or do you call it Assi Sleeve Speedometer ?) was not there I took the one from my original 4 speed tranny but the speedo cable doesn't turn. I think the gears do not even touch each other. I looked at my microfiche and found positions 76 -83 but none of the listed parts numbers are available at Nissan here in Germany. Any help is appreciated. Rolf

Hello, title really sais it all- found a nice one for twenty bucks and I want to jump all over it- came of a 75 280z and mine is a 77 280z. Are there any differences that I should be aware of? ie: transmission/CA or Fed/carb or inj differences in a 7 pin AFM? Thanks! Gina

Hey guys looking to buy an rb to throw into my z, just wondering what is involved in throwing this bad boy into my beast. Some questions I’m most concerned about is does anyone has intergraded the stoke harness with the rb’s wiring harness? Does anyone make custom motor mounts for this swap, and does anyone make transmission cross members for this swap. thanks guys!

Had a 72 240z in my early twenties – sold it to go back to school – 20 years later I buy a 76 280z. This one is special…but aren’t they all!! Anyways – the history – after importing it into Canada and driving it for two Summer’s I am driving it to the garage for Winter storage, seriously. Suddenly, I feel a loss of power (50%) when I accelerate...or effectively no power gain when I apply the gas – like there is air or a void when I press on the gas and nothing is burning at the cylinders...no RPM movement...jst dead air. Pedal goes down but nothing happens. Car starts jerking a bit - it doesn't like this, and neither do I. With some slight gas pedal fe…

I am out of spit and I only have a few days to figure out and fix the problem with my 260Z LeMons car or I will have a very long, frustrating race next weekend. I'm asking for thoughts you have. The biggest issue we have is that it's a track-only car and we cannot prove out anything we try until we are in the race next weekend. Here's the story: Car setup: '74 260Z with 3 screw SUs on a 260 intake and stock exhaust manifold Fuel tank was cleaned and POR15 treated and has two fuel filters that stay clean Engine has good compression SUs were cleaned/rebuilt and SM needles installed. Floats set to spec and they synched at idle and 1500 RPM Pistons drop at same rate…
