At this point in time, I've changed all of the bushings. That includes the mustash bar, and the rear diff. front mount. I've changed the drive shaft U-Joints, and the half shaft U-Joints. One of the drive shafts was starting to go bad. The two lower half shaft U-joints were getting a little bad. Guess what? I still get a lower decible, low pitch CLUNK:mad: I can't believe it. A complete master bushing set. And lately, all these other parts, and still a slight clunk. Could it be one of the carrier bearings behind the oil seals, that were also changed in the diff??? Could it be something in the rear brakes??? It's diffenetly behind me. I noticed the slightest amo…

Had my car out for a drive today - everything was great, beautiful weather! Anyway, while driving, my car suddenly stalled and I could not restart it. I pushed it into a parking space and tried, in vain, to get it running again. I sprayed starter fluid into the carbs, it coughs, but doesn't catch once the ether is burned off. As I had a similar issue last year (never identified), I have checked the following: Getting spark? - YES Fuel pump working? - YES Carbs getting gas? - YES In fact, as I said, when I spray ether into the carbs, the ether ignites and the car will turn over, but for some reason it doesn't stay running. I never checked the fuel filter, but the carbs A…

I just purchased and restored a 240z steering wheel for my 75 280z. Over all it came it pretty nice. I'm having one issue though. The steering wheel did not come with a horn pad and I am trying to use my 280z horn pad I just got. I'm able to get everything mounted but the horn doesn't stop. Its wierd because I know that no metal is touching but it still goes off. Even without the horn pad it goes off. Its like the screws are magically touching metal that I can't see. Think that if I just get new screws it would work? When I take all the screws out it works fine. Here are some pics... Before... After...

I just found a broken thread on one of the head bolt holes on my N42 block, and I'm thinking to fix it with a helicoil. Does anyone have the head bolt size (dia. and thread pitch) info. or maybe the helicoil part number handy? Many thanks in advance.

Hey folks - I am so ignorant on this so I am looking for a little help. Currently I have s stock '77 280Z coupe with a 4-speed. It runs 4000RPM at 80mph. I am looking at buying a 5-speed transmission core and rebuilding it. I have been told that would improve my highway MPG by almost 30%. Would this be worth it? Do you think this would help at all? Are there other things I could do instead? Thanks for any and all help. Tommy

HI, I've just got a California 1970 240Z that is now in Québec, Canada. I'm having a problem for to transfer the ownership since the weight is not mention on the ownership certificate of CA. In Québec, the weight is mention on the certificate and the autority doesn't have a 1970 car list in their computer.............. They're are now asking me of a weight confirmation. Does someone have a document from Nissan/Datsun that confirm the weight for a 1970 240Z. That would really help me. By the way, I've call the local Nissan dealer and refer me to Nissan Canada help center. I've told him my story and he said that I should call a Datsun dealer for my problem...............…

the broken end that's supposed to extend is meant to go into a small hole which keeps the whole link from moving around but since it's broken there's no stopping it from moving. i have some ideas of what i can do, but i wanted to hear any suggestions. thanks for anyone's help in advance.
