OK – This is the situation. The car starts fine with full choke and warms up nicely – choke gradually off and after 5 minutes it idles at about 700 rpm with no choke. After a good drive, when it returns to idle it makes a horrible wining sound and will stall or run at very low rpm. If the engine stops and I try to start it again it is very difficult to start. Choke does not help and if it starts it runs at very low rpm – and eventually stalls. I have made a video of the engine making the sound. I am the one who rev the engine in order for it not to stall – as it does in the end of the video. It’s a 73 car with 3-screw round top SU carbs. With all 73 emission …

Hello all, new member here. I recently got a '76 ,280Z that has been in storage for 5 years. It's been a challenge to say the least. Anyway, I got it running, but the engine won't cut off with the key. I have to disconnect the battery (new battery, but it kills it ???). I replaced the switch but that didn't help. I pulled the alternator and had it checked at NAPA, it was putting out about 15V. I read somewhere that I may need to install a diode due to a feedback problem, but I don't know where or how to install it. I really appreciate any help. ol fiat

help me please!!! I'm in urgent need of a short drive shaft from a 280ZX. I'm sorry i'm not able to give you exact model details, but I'll describe it best I can. Its a CV joint shaft. The total length (without the witches hat cover) is 510mm. to measure that I stood the shaft on the diff end, compressed the shaft into the inner cv, and let the outer part of the outer CV drop down to expose the end of the shaft and the race. I measured fromt he ground to the top of the spring seat which is on the outer end of the shaft. (so not to the end of the cover. on the inner end, the flat section where the oil grooves are is 40mm long (i'm told there are different ones of them as …

Need help: At my '72 240Z I found a broken M8 bolt, the one that connects the ball joint to the track control arm. It took me some time to get the remaining bolt out of the ball joint. In between I ordered new bolts, part no. 08130-82062. First question: Is this the right bolt or what is the right part no ? I put that new bolt in and tried to torque 45 lb-ft. The bolt broke already at a bit over 36 lb-ft. So I had to drill that one out, too. My second question now is: What could I have done wrong? My dealer also ordered another M8 bolt for me, Part No. 081A0-8201A, named Bolt-Flange. Question3: What is this bolt for, where does it belong to? On the head of bolt 08130-820…

How do you remove the power antenna unit? I've disconnected all the wiring. Do you remove the outer hardware (rubber and washer) or unscrew the antenna mast? The car is a 72 240z. Thanks Rich

Does anyone have a picture they can post of the lock mechanism for the hatch? Also, when you press the button to open the hatch is it actuated by a screw pushing down on the lever ? I hope I am making myself clear. I think I am missing some parts. This is a 1971 240Z. Thank you, Darrell 240Z
