Hello all Well my Z has hit its first MAJOR problem, tank crack. Was replacing the weather stripping on the doors today when I smelt the distinctive smell of gasoline. Check under my car and long and behold raw fuel is slowly dripping out of the tank. I took it to the mechanic and had them take a look at it. Tank has a crack in the nipple where one of the fuel lines connects. Here are the options I've come up with at the moment. 1. Spend the $350 that my mechanic wants for welding and R&R the tank. 2. Buy a refurbished on for $400 from zcarsource 3. Drain tank and use some kind of sealer (like JB Weld) What are your guys opinion on this? Anyone have this happen to t…

For those of us out west , I just received my rear bumper back from the plater. Denver Bumper Works Inc. There prices are fair and the work is first rate. I had my rear bumper on my 240Z done and couldn't ask for a better job. The turn around time is unbelievable. I rate them 1-A. I shipped my bumper from Portland Oregon to them via FED-X They received it and sent it back in 4 days!! $250.00 + shipping for all three parts. There are others here on the web site that have used them as well. When a quality merchant does good work for a fair price . Well it is good to give them our business. Otherwise we will only have the less quality to deal with. Gary

Hey guys, I recently rebuilt my engine and while doing so i replaced the timing chain. As I was setting timing between the cam and the crank, I noticed I was a little off. I have a 240z with a pointer on the block and 5 marks on the pulley. I read in a thread that the farthest mark to the left is TDC. (please confirm) However my new chain from MSA is just shy of reaching this postion. With my crank at the far left mark, i am just to the right of the mark on the timing mark on cam tower 1. Is this a problem? I am so worried about this damn timing :paranoid: Any advice would be appreciated Frankie

Ok, so in order for this Z to be mine, I have to completely restore it. It was taken apart 15 years ago and he doesn't remember much about it. I do have a book for it but it's not very informative where I need it to be so I'll be asking a good deal of questions. Question #1: Does the '75 280Z need transmission mounts? I found brackets and I want to make sure that is what they are before I go trying to hunt down tranny mounts for a Z. Question #2: All the bolts were lost, are these cars metric or standard? Thanks for anyone with a helpful response.

I understand that most of the information that I am inquiring about is more than likely in a post somewhere, and believe me, I have done a ton of reading since I joined this site ! So, I hope you members won't hold it against me if I ask a few questions in hopes to gain some much needed guidance and enable me to get back out to the garage that much sooner. Having said that...here goes... To start with, I own a 73' 240z which has a 78' 5 speed and running gear, but not sure of the ratio. , 74' 260z, and a 75' 280z is the base for my project due to the fact it has the best body And I just pulled a turbo engine and transmission out on an 83' 280ZX 2+2 The plan is to inst…

Hey there folks! I got the front control arm bushings pressed out and when going to install the polyeurathane replacements, the two halves are different! There's a thick shoulder bushing and a thin shoulder bushing. I'm not clear on which way to install them. Should the Thick shoulder go forward, or thin in the front?
