Anyone got a pic of a "Fast Idle Actuator (for the aircon)" for a 260Z? I'm trying to figure out what/where this part is and not having much luck.

The bumpers were not attached to my car when I purchased it. They are in fair shape and I want to put them on for now. No bolts though. Anyone know the size and length of these bolts? Any ideas where to find good replacements?

First let me thank 260z ... post #9 to this link. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4519 Hello all, just wanted to resurrect this old post since I was successful in opening my front hood after my hood release pull cable broke. The sketch in post #9 to the link above is excellent. I bought a 5/16" diameter piece of 3 foot long soft metal stock at Home Depot (~$5.00). It bent pretty well in my hand vise but is reigid enough to withstand lateral force. I bent it such that it had a ~1" loop and an 8"-9" short leg with the rest being the long leg (~2ft long). See my photos.... Jacked the car up, and from the driver side close to the firewall, I placed…

Hello all This past week my car was at the mechanic being worked on and checked. Well got it back today with a long list of things that are bad. To begin with the radiator has a leak. Not bad but enough to worry me. So where do you all get your radiators from? My local checkers here sells them but the drain plug is in the middle and not on the side like mine is. Secondly my transmission mount is...well not really doing anything at all. When I drive I can actually feel the transmission moving back as I accelerate. Again local store has them but I'm wondering if they are worth anything. Thirdly...the air regulator on my car is dead, literally not working at all. I saw th…

I have a 73 240Z with a ZX five speed & 3.54:1 diff. Lately when I shift into fifth I hear a noise coming from sort of behind me....like it's the rear end or an axle, but kind of on the driver's side and not as far forward as the gearbox. However, this makes no sense because it's definitely drive-train noise and if it's the rear end, wouldn't it make sounds in all gears, not just fifth? It's not quite a grinding (like bearing failure) but more of a rumbling type of sound. I know sounds travel and can be hard to pinpoint with all the other noises happening while driving but it's weird that it's so magnified only when in 5th gear. I'm reluctantly thinking it's the trans…

Hey guys, the Z had a rough day. One of my U joints on a half shaft busted and I am having the hardest time replacing it. Basically, the U joint where the driver side half shaft meets the wheel assembly wore out and the shaft separated from the U joint. Unfortunately, when the shaft separated, it banged itself loose, damaging the yoke that holds the U joint. I believe that I need to replace the whole shaft, since it's damaged, but I can't source one anywhere! Any ideas? Thanks!

I developed the dreaded "rear end clunk", while shifting into 1st and 2nd gear, about a month ago. I read enough on here to look at the rear diff insulator 1st, and sure enough, its was broken in 2 pieces. I have already ordered a new one from Courtesy, should be here in a few days. My question is, could my old arrestor strap have contributed to this, by allowing the nose of the diff too much movement? I'm not sure if that's even what the arrestor strap does, but I'm wondering if I should be replacing that at the same time? It looks fine, not broken, or even frayed, but I didn't know if they could stretch and contribute to the stress of the diff insulator. I would…
