Car: 1978 Datsun 280z Problem: When the brakes are slightly applied, they do not engage. After continual pushing it finally catches and nearly locks up the brakes. (Catches about half way from the floor from the original brake pedal position.) After telling my shop teacher my problem, he immediately said it was the proportioning valve that needed to be replaced; and never told me why even after I asked him. Why would this be the proportioning valves problem? It feels as if it's the front brakes that are doing this because after the brakes actually engage, the front of the car violently dips. I have inspected and cleaned the …

Heres a stupid question. ive been presented with a 260 missing all sorts of hoses and in a very questionable condition. i was wondering if i just block off most of the vaccume lines and more importantly all of the excessive fuel emission carry-on, will the carbs still operate??

There is an 80's non turbo 280ZX at my local junkyard. I am thinking of pulling the trans since it is a manual and i have an auto that doesn't feel too great, may be on its last legs... 1. Will this trans fit/work? I know its the same motor. 2. What about the driveshaft? 3. What parts exactly should I get from it; flywheel, brake pedals/clutch pedals; I read that I need the spacer and the longer bolts; 4. WIll my stock brake set up work, with the other pedal? 5. Will my ECM know the difference?? THanks

When I got home from work today a great surprise was waiting for me: the original style sideview mirror for my 78 Z that I ordered. I went out, took off the Wal-Mart one that the PO put on, then found there is more to it than I thought to get it on there. It looks like I need to get behind the door panel to secure the backing plate. Is this right? If anyone has experience with this it would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure this is an extremely basic thing, but I'm new to working on my car, and I'm definitely getting better. Thanks to this forum I've changed my oil sending unit and fixed my non-working heater. Awesome. Thanks! Mike

iv been trying to hunt down a 77-78 280z parts car. not very much luck. i know you houston guys probably got parts or parts cars laying around. or maybe even know someone that has one. i found someone selling some 240's on craigslist i emailed within minutes of the post and he hasn't responded wtf is with that? so far my offer range has been 200-500 depending on condition and how complete the car is. but i only got 2 emails since i put my WTB ad. and left two offers on some BADLY rusted z's i saw parked in peoples backyards(visible because of IKE) one guy thinks his non-running windowless rust bucket that been sitting in the rain for over 3yrs is worth 2500bux... i mean …

Hey everyone! I've been working away on the car, and while i had it on a hoist i noticed that it was difficult to spin the front passenger side tire when it was off the ground...it would spin slightly but it would stop immediately after i took off pressure. I'm thinking a frozen caliper, any other ideas? Just wondering if this is a common problem, and if there's anything I can do at home to fix this before buying new parts :surprised

Does any one have the number of the brake line tee in the back of the S30's? I can read most of the number off the fiche CD but not all if it. Starts with 46100-but the rest of the numbers are not all that clear. I know it is still available because reddat on eBay has them. I need a couple of them and his prices when shipped end up near $100.
