My 1978 280z starts fine, idles and runs well when it's cold, but after a few miles the idle becomes rough and she starts to hesitate below 2k rpm. I looked around and found other threads where people had the same problem as me and there were a few suggestions ,but the original poster never posted back to say if they fixed the problem or not. Can someone please help my baby? Here's some pictures of her.

O.K., now I have a question regarding the heat shield. I know that the throttle return springs need to hook up to something, but do I have to re-use the heatshield for this purpose or can I fabricate a bracket using the heatshield as a template? Again, thanks for all the help out there for previous questions.

I just picked up a 72 240z and noticed some wonderful frame repairs after the fact. For the most part the rust is just on the surface and can be easily removed. However there are a couple of areas that I am very concerned about. These next two pics are the back edge of the floor pans as it rises up above the axle. I am betting these are important for structural strength, but I searched and didnt see any posts pertaining to repair/replacement of the rear frame rails. If i just chop out the rust and re-weld as opposed to rivet these back to the pan will it be safe or is a replacement piece available? Thanks

I purchased a new speaker panel and tried to install today. For some reason I can not get it in. I don't want to break it. The rear hatch mount attachment seems to be in the way. Do I just need to bend it under the mount or what. I'm afraid it will crack doing that. Has anyone had this problem and how did you solve? I can't slide in from the front either because of the wheel well. Maybe this panel is just made to large and I need to trim it some.

75 280. In process of cleaning up engine compartment, cleaned and re-wrapped all the wires running over the engine, etc. Mistakenly, I cranked the car up without the coil wire plugged into the coil. Shot sparks out pretty good! Now it runs kinda rought. I replaced cap, rotor, coil, plug wires (was planning to do that anyways), still have the miss. Pulled each plug wire separately to isolate, appears to be #2 cyl. What would make just that one not fire? Did I fry something?

Just got my XR700 from Amazon.com today and lo and behold we're missing a part. It's called the "Mounting arm" on the Marelli diagram. It's kinda a long piece of metal that attaches to the Optical Trigger in the distributor. If anyone has a spare one lying around, i would deeply appreciate if you can ship it to me. I will pay a fee if required. Thanks Nick
