So... here I am again with another strange issue I can't pin down. The other week I was changing sparkplugs again (I usually just go with cheap Autolites, sort of NGK knockoffs, as a bit of oil dripping from the valve stems tends to clog them up fairly quickly) ... The auto parts store was out of my usual Autolite fix, so the clerk sold me some Champion platinums for the same prices (and I was dubious, since I hate Champions with a passion) ... I put them in and the car ran a bit more rough at idle, but at a consistent speed, so I figured as was well in the car kingdom. I took the car for a spin and I could really feel the different platinums make, I thought I was sold! .…

...this thing is in my way. Yes it's a metal bar and it covers up the fill plug, how do I get to it? As you can see, my diff is need of a little TLC, so this is something I want to get figured out ASAP. Thanks!

I have a 72 240z with round top SUs and no air pump. It drives ok, but has a 1-2 second lag when starting from a stand still. It is there, but not as noticable when shifting into later gears. I thought it might be a problem with the vacuum lines, but I can't find a diagram or picture that shows my setup. Are there any other likely possibilities? Either way, a diagram, book or picture would be very helpful to get the lines set up properly.

I have a 72 240z that starts fine and runs good... most of the time. Every once in awhile it will stall, shake, and then shut off. But it will always start up fine. As far as I can tell, it happens randomly as I havn't been able to find a common cause. It has happened when going down the road at a consistant speed, accellerating, and just idling. I have no idea where to start, as I am not very experienced. Any input would be much apreciated.

Hello, I am new here, but have been lurking for about a month. Good site! I just ordered a set of rota rbsfor my 76 280. The fronts will be 17x7.5 the rears will be 17x8.5 . They will all have a 20mm offset. That was all they had left, sooo my question is where did some of you get your wheel spacers because I am having a very hard time findin any combos that will fit. The patterns may work but the hub bore is small. And if I find the right spacers now where can I purchse the longer studs? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!:classic:

Im having a bit of an ignition problem, right now im getting fuel the fuel pump is running but no spark. It only does this after it has rained, Apparently I have a leak in the windshield gasket at water has ran down the passenger side kick panel. Im leaning toward the ignition transistor or a relay because I can hear intermitten clicking and it will act like it wants to fire when that happens. Does anyone know what relays or controls would be on the passenger side that would cause me to loose spark. Thanks in advance

There is a relay under the passenger seat on my 76 280z. It is zinc in color, and plugs into the main harness. Today it started clicking rapidly, and when it did, the "brake" light on the speedo flickers and the "CHG" light in the voltmeter flickers as well. Nothing else seems to be affected by it. I don't have a wiring diagram for this car, so can anybody tell me what this does and why it started freaking out?
