I was just wondering if there is any way to tell the difference in a 4 or 5 speed from a Datsun Z car,just by looking at the case? I have two transmissions. I have a numbers that are stamped in the bellhousing portion of the trans. As near as I can tell it's 763T007 ? The other one that I have has the numbers 7115512. **** Is there anywhere that I can just look up these numbers? **** Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Does anyone know who has the best basket weave type seat skins for a 1977/1978 280Z? I've read that some are too short on the back. This may just apply to the 240Z skins though. Thanks

Ok I've got another problem, I pulled my 280z motor and replaced the head gasket, and put it all back together, without moving the timing at all, and now I've got the engine back in the car and she wont doesn't want to fire at all. I can make the engine backfire but not start. It's really bugging me why I can't seem to get the car running perfectly. on a side note the engine ran rough before i pulled it to replace the head gasket.

Took all smog off, capped off all PVC stuff, then the carb by the firewall started leaking off fuel, other one is fine. I capped off both carbs and now it runs but seems rich...boggs a ton and then stalls 1973 240Z, before I capped off all the PVC system it ran great. First thought is lean out carbs. But unsure why the one wants to leak out fuel... FYI the carbs were changed out from flat tops to 72 round SU's before I bought it.

Hey guys, I just got a 260z running after it sat for who knows how long. If you've been following my other posts, you'll know that it came without the engine in it, and missing a good deal of parts. Not to mention, a lot of the parts that were there, are fairly damaged. I put a garden hose in the radiator to flush out all the earwigs that have managed to make a home in it, and found out one of the plastic tanks (the bottom to be exact) has a crack in it. Water leaks out fairly quickly, so I can only imagine it under pressure. First question, how well do radiator stop-leak type products work on repairing holes in the plastic tanks? Would it hold it long enough while I…

I'm new here. Have found this site useful in the past and hope that I can draw on this pool of knowledge. After registering I found there is much more to enjoy. My 77 280 needed a few things taken care of before I felt comfortable putting it on the market. I procrastinated the last thing..the brake warning light never went off. I checked the ebrake switch, leaks, pressure differential switch and bled the brakes. The last thing could fathum trying was the relay under the passenger seat. I unplugged it and the light went off, only now it won't come on and my oil pressure and fuel guage stopped working? It blows the fuel guage fuse! Is the relay under the seat conn…

Hi My need for an expansion valve was confirmed by my mechanic but I'm having a hard time finding one. Both Auto Zone and Advance say they are no longer available. Does anyone know a source of one or what I can do to repair my AC problem? Thanks Randy

Hi New member with new to me 1978 280Z. It rained last night and my fusable links (covers missing) got standing water in their bases. Car started fine but wouldn't restart later, jumped off and the car was showing below 12v on the dash gauge. The car died on the trip home and wouldn't do anything till I charged the battery. What could my problem be? Thanks Randy

I recently bought a 1978 280Z. The compressor runs but the AC doesn't cool. The system was just converted to R134 but the seller says it needs the expansion valve replaced. How hard of a job is that and does the dash have to come out. What should I expect to pay for this repair. Do you guys thinks it could be the expansion valve or some thing else? Thanks Randy

I smell gas in the engine area when trying to start but still have the base of the air filter attatched to the su carbs on my 240.... if I am starting to troubleshoot a fuel issue after eliminating spark as a problem how do I proceed? also, is there a return fuel line which would somehow endup back at the rearmost vent hose line on the gastank? I put some gas in it the other day and noticed it was leaking at that rear vent hose after giving up on starting it for the day... Either it was caused by me adding gas to the tank or all the work the fuel pump was doing when trying to start.... any input? thanks fellas... I've been doing my searches on the forum but not havin…
