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

Hi Folks! My speedo meter needle bounces erratically below 25mph, but once I get going it stablilizes. I removed the cable at the speedo and the tranny this afternoon, pulled out the cable from the tranny side and cleaned it. I cleaned out the cable as best I could with brake cleaner then lubed it as best I could with graphite and chain lube. Reinstalled the cable and put it all back together. Now the needle bounces erratically below 30mph but then stablizes at higher speed. Any ideas? Do I need a new cable? The condition looked pretty good.... What do you think?

Good morning, after searching I still do not have an answer. I am switching from the stock exhaust manifold to the 3 to 2 no smog headers on a stock 77 280Z. I switched to all studs ( 10 mm studs at # 1 and 6)and need the following info please: 1. What is the torque specs to tighten down the nuts. 2.Is it a good idea to use two gaskets( the metal in between ones)when installing? I will be adding copper permatex to both the block side and header. 3.Proper tightening sequence is from the center to the outside right, or it does not matter with headers? Thanks, I am posting these questions on Zcar also, I need to get this done today. THANKS -Rick

I have a 76 280z, and I need my ac back. I live in Houston and it is unbearable. I have purchased a new ac motor blower, but it did not come with the fan. I have purchased several on ebay, but all of them are cracked or broken and they end up breaking just like the others. Is there anything else I could use. Such as a different year,or a different model, I just think I need something new. Everyone I have spoken with has no idea, but I know there is an answer out there. Any help is greatlly appreciated.

Hi, I have a 240Z modified with a 280ZX dizzy. In retrospect, the problem may have been showing over the last 2 months, but it has only become acute within the last 10 days. The problem isn't reproducible, but is predictable. The engine will cut out, completely, not just a power fade, for between 1/2 second (maybe less) to at least 20 seconds. When cutting out for 1/2 second, the engine fires back up if I'm moving because of a compression start. Feels like a stutter, which may have thrown me off on the diagnosis. These short cut-outs usually occur in clusters of 3 to 4 times and have possibly been occurring sporadically for a couple of months. Within the last week …
