Now that I have drivin the Z for a whole week there are two things that I have noticed and I have some questions about them. #1 When I turn the key to the on position all my gauges come on. My fuel gauge goes up and stops. Then when I get moving in the car it continues to raise then stops. Which is the right reading? I would think as a vacuum is created it makes the gauge raise after I start driving it. Idk??? #2 At about 50 mph the shifter on my auto trany starts to shake pretty bad. Is there something loose?

Hello Classic Zcar community! My name is David and I am from Slovakia. I am studying design of wood at the School of Applied Arts in the capital- Bratislava. I am interested in historic racing cars and prototypes from my childhood. My favourite racing "beasts" "D are the Datsun 240Z and 260Z, especially the ones with the wide imsa body kits like the Bob Sharp Racing cars. Thanks to Bobby Hanwey, author of custom 240Z, who recommended me this forum I gain a lot of new info about the Datsun cars. Here is really lot of material about these cars, and as I am a newbie in this area I am amazed with the amount of areas related to this topic, many Datsun owners and fans and abou…

I have a 76 280z with an L28 and am having some strange issues. 1/2 the time when I start my car, doesn't matter if it's cold or hot it runs really bad while the other 1/2 it runs just fine. By running bad I mean the idle drops to around 500 and black smoke that smells like gas comes out of the exhaust. Because my brakes don't work very well I started to think that it might have something to do with my brake power booster. I went to autozone and got a vacuum tester. While my car is running poorly, with the tester hooked up to the brake booster vacuum line it reads around 5psi. When I rev the engine it goes up to about 10-15 psi and drops right back down to 5 and trie…

So, this is my first time driving my '78 Z on a regular basis in such hot weather. A recent heat wave has brought temperatures well into the 90s. Here's the problem: When I go to start it (cold engine), it runs fine. But when I park and return to start it within 20 or 30 minutes (engine still hot), it doesn't start. It takes a long time to finally get it running, and once I do it runs great. I'm aware that vapor lock is non-existent with EFI, so are there any other diagnoses? Does it have to do with the heat or is that just a coincidence?

Well, I need to know if anyone has experienced this and how it was repaired - I went to open the rear hatch one day recently and the right side "sagged" and scraped a bit on the roof. I took it apart today and discovered the "tab" on the hatch is flexing where the welds hold it to the hatch. It has not broken the welds completely loose, but it certainly needs to be repaired. Any one out there see this and how was it repaired? Is it fairly straight forward for a body shop to repair? Thanks in advance.
