Hey everyone. I hear people mention they take their car to a Z specialist, and I was just wondering if there is a way to find such a shop. I have a few rust issues that I'd like to have taken care of (not too good at doing it myself), but I'm not sure where to take the car. Just a local body shop? Or maybe contact the Nissan dealer? I'm in the Denver area, and if anyone knows of any Z specialists, or how I can find one, that would be great. Thanks!

I posted this in fuel forum but didn't get any response, and i have to get my z on the road. My 1977 280z 4sp sat for a long, long time. Had a fuel problem years ago, removed the tank had it boiled and relined but still never ran. At present I bought 2 new fuel pumps, and finding out the universal pump I got was to weak(wasted $150) bought the proper one then discovered the tank outflow line is plugged) So I put a connector on the tank drain plug and am drawing gas from there, it drove fine for 6 to 10 miles, but consistently has got worst, now I goes less then a mile and starts acting up. The new pumps giving me 36 lbs past fuel filter where I installed a fuel pressure g…

Hey, I have a '76, and it refuses to idle. It will start, but the engine revs up and down, sputters, and dies. I cleaned the gas tank and put fresh gas in it. I have also found a few vacuum leaks, and put tape on them, so I know where I stopped last, and what lines should be replaced. I am kind of new at this early fuel injection thing... What does everybody think? I'm kind of living in the past with large American carburated cars... Thanks! --Chad

Over the last few days I have cleaned out the tank and lines, fuel filter, oil etc and went for the first start just a moment ago. The car fired right, but took 8-10 tries before it was ideling. I have not attached the air filter yet so I noticed when it was running gas was coming out of the area I circled in Red on the carbs. Is this normal? I fully admit I'm still learning on the mechanical side so I'm not sure if this is a normal function or if the gas should be going somewhere else. I was concerned that if the exhaust got hot all that dripping would help remove my eyebrows.....:stupid: Thanks for any input. Randy PS, it's the 73 I just brought home on Thursday.

The Car: 1970 240Z w/ automatic transmission The problem: Sometimes the tach works fine, some times it reads 2-3k higher then what the motor sounds like it is running at, sometimes it it is just pegged. The answer: <fill-in-the-blank>. Thanks, any advice or even a good place to start would be helpfull. BTW: I did search for "tach" and came up with 4 pages of stuff. Didn't really find what I was looking for.

Hey guys, I've recently started having some trouble with my 260z. I just moved to Orlando from Panama City Beach for college (6-7 hr drive), and the Z did great up until I filled up with BP 87 octane. I always use either Shell or Citgo gas, but this time it was my only choice. Immediately after leaving the gas station and getting back onto the interstate, it had a hesitation under acceleration. It was pretty much undetectable while cruising. I made it to Orlando, filled up with Shell 89 octane and the problem to go away. However, today RIGHT after picking up my friends from being rear-ended, my car lost all mechanical power and crawled to a halt. I figured I had r…
