I have a very original York AC set up that was installed by Datsun dealer back then on one of my 71 car. Now the pully bearing is making a loud nose, but I do not know how to replace this baering or the pully. I can't press it out because there is metal cover over it........ There is no retainer or anything. I do not care about its originality on this at all, but I would appreciate your help here..... The bearing is made bu Nachi(Japanese one). I am hoping that there is a replacement for this......... Esprist www.jdm-car-parts

Hello all So this past weekend I pulled the old radiator and hoses. I took the car for a ride today only to hear a loud whining noise coming when accelerating. I come to my house to find radiator fluid dripping from the front of the engine...from the water pump. So I'm guessing a new water pump is in order....:mad: Two questions. One. Does everything on Z's happen in the cascading manner in which things break in bunches that are related (i.e thermostat, then radiator and now the blasted water pump.) Secondly. What are you guys recommendation on water pumps. Is autozone ok or should I use MSA? Any advise would be welcome. Jan

Hello all Today I took the Z out for a short ride around town to get some things. Stopped at the local store to find that my car was low on coolant. Picked up a bottle of coolant and topped of the tank. While under there I noticed that the oil pan is leaking a fairly large amount of oil. Also noticed my tranny mount is going bad fairly quickly. (that was from driving) 1. Is there a way to replace the oil pan gasket without having to lift the engine or drop the cross member? 2. Has anyone replace a tranny mount that have pictures. I've been under the car I just need advise on where to start. Jan

Hi everyone, I haven't been here in quite a while...Life takes us in different paths now and then. I bought/found a really clean 71 240z back in 2001... I enjoyed bringing it back to life and driving and showing the Z... It was taken off the road to have some mechanical items looked after and a new paint job done.. Well that's now over 2yrs... While sitting at the shop the battery acid took its toll ... my battery tray is eaten, the pristine floors and frame rails as well:cry:: disappointed... I need the right frame rail (MotorSport sells in pairs) the battery tray.. as well... my body guy says if I can get the clip from the fire wall to under the strut it will wo…

Hello guys So Friday afternoon I replaced my old broken radiator with a brand new one. Saturday morning I finished up the job by replacing the radiator cap with a new one, replacing the hoses and filling the car up with some fluid. I started the car up to let the fluid circulate and get the air out and I find that I have a very faint amount of white smoke coming out of the exhaust. When I rev it gets worse and when I rev and release the throttle it puffs it out. So being mechanically I turn the car off after it heats up and check the oil. Its oil, nice oil color and tastes like oil (yes I tasted it to verify there was no coolant). Checked under that cap, nothing just oil…

hello all, will the seats of a 240Z fit my 260Z? I saw a set at my local pick up part, however they're from a 240Z, they still need to be upholstered, but even then, they look better than the ones I have.

I have a water leak on one of the hoses that comes out of a tube off the thermostat housing. There are three hoses on this tube; one comes straight out and goes to a line around the back of the engine (possibly to the heater?), and two come out the bottom of the pipe and appear to go into the intake manifold (it's hard to tell, I haven't pulled the hoses off yet to trace where they go.) Also, the hose that goes straight in looks like it's been blocked. When I pulled off the hose I found what looks to be a bolt screwed into the pipe then cut off. I couldn't find reference to these hoses in neither my Clymers nor my Haynes manuals and was wondering what they are. Below is…

Hey guys So found out this past weekend that my rear drivers' side brake is leaking fluid. My mechanic suspects it to be the wheel cylinder. I have a question for you all. Is there a difference between the 76 wheel cylinder say one from a 77-78 280z? Thanks Jan
