The pressure in the cooling system of my 78 280z is very low (judging on the upper and lower radiator hoses) but, the car doesn't overheat i Have run the car for over an hour an the temperature doesn't even go much past the halfway point on the gauge. I just replaced the radiator, water pump, thermostat, and upper and lower radiator hoses. I have checked the belt and it is at the FSM specified tension and flushed the cooling system. Dose anyone have any ideas as to what could be the cause of this? Is the presure suposed to be that low?

Can anyone help me a with a tire size for my 71' 240Z? I have a set of 15x7 silver Konig Rewind wheels and wanted to find out what is a good tire size for my Z. I actually just had a set of 215/60-15’s put on and they were too big. They hit the front lower air dam (stock) when I cranked my wheel. This is a stock Z, can anyone tell me what they are running so I can get tires back on my car. I'm looking at 205/60-15's but am afraid they might still rub. Thanks everyone!

Horn Woes HELP! 1 2 3

'Was backing into the driveway, as per usual. Without warning the horn starts blaring and won't stop! Quickly grabbed tools and dc/ed battery at positive terminal. Reconnected battery, no horn. Car is now in driveway. No casualties beyond a few disgruntled neighbors (seeing as it was 11 PM), a ringing ear, racing heart... and missed appointment with the Dukes of Hazzard county. What has me stumped is that it didn't start blaring again after I reconnected the battery. Is there a solenoid or something that controls the horn?! (wtf?) Somebody help me please, I don't want to wake up my neighbors again! :dead:

I have 2 videos of the noise, you can see the shorter one here: I think you can see the other by looking at my videos (I only have Internet on my phone at the moment) I bought this car 2 weeks ago, immediatly did an oil & filter change, and I replaced the plugs and wires with NGK ones. I didn't notice the engine rattle until after the oil change, but I then noticed it was present in a video I took the night I bought the car. I adjusted the valve lash 3 days ago while the engine was cold, most were close to the specs, but only 3 valves didn't need adjustment. I also did a cold engine compression test and all cylinders were between 145 and 152 psi. The front thre…

I'm going to preface this by saying I know pretty much nothing about cars... I just got my 240z out of storage for the winter -and as I got her only a month before I stored her - I'm not entirely sure if this is a new problem or not. We had a lot of trouble getting her to start up. One of my friends turned her up higher - my understanding is that this would make her idle higher and start easlier. She only idles at about 1krpm when I start her up. Here's the fun thing: if I'm downshifting for like a stop, she works just fine. If I kick her into neutral, her rpms stay just where they were when I took her out of gear... or even more fun, they go up. So if I'm sitting …

Hey everyone, need some advice for my 1976 280z. It’s been running very rough lately, to the point where I need to give it gas at stop lights to keep it from dying on me. Here’s the symptoms RPMs drop 200+ when I brake at idle, sometimes kills the engine. (vaccum leak?) Engine misses a lot at lower rpms, generally under 2k, but occasional above2k. Gets jerky at times because of this. Sometimes when I stop than restart it sounds like not all the cylinders are firing but eventually goes away. This is accompanied with very low oil pressure; it could just be my sensor but idk for sure. After it’s been driven for a while all these symptoms go away. Generally after being drive…

So I brought my car in for alignment and the mechanic tells me that my wheels on both front sides have some play in them. He proceeded to show me by gripping both 3o'clock and 9o'clock sides of the wheels and shook them. He recommended that I changed the inner tie rod ends, and proceeded to tell me that they were super rare and his friend at the Nissan dealership could source a set for $150 EACH side (told me they were the same on each side). :sick: So I went home and decided to research on the internet a bit more, and came across these inner tie rod ends on rockauto.com: I ordered two of these, and also the Right and Left side outer tie rod ends because I figured.. …

Alrighty lets get to it. car: 10/1972 240z with an L24 and an E88. completely stock engine. I have recently been able to get my car to move under its own power, but it seems that problems keep coming about. Yesterday while taking her out for another test drive she drove fine for about 1/8th of a mile then she started to sputter, i gunned it and once i got past 3kish rpms the car pulled like I was hoping this car would be capable of. but as i started a to do some normal driving, 2k rpm cruising and 3krpm shifting the car started to sputter, lean pop, and backfire again and again. brought her back into the drive way and started testing there. she revved fine and it see…
