   random stalling

   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

   HELP electrical issue

   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?

   Help-NISMO FIA Sumitomo brake part source

   February 28, 2008 by AlanVDW

   Anybody have a source for parts for Sumitomo MK63 four piston calipers? I have two each on the front of my Datsun 510's and they are in need of rebuilding. I may have found rebuild kits, but I need 41.3 mm pistons and bleeder screws. Piston part # 41124-68200. Bleeder # 41129-A1280. These calipers are a bolt on upgrade for early Z's and were used on the Z and 510rally cars. They will fit inside the smaller 13 inch wheels. Wilwoods are too large. Thanks, Alan. alvspriteREMOVETHIS@aol.com

    Transmission not Working when I installed Rebuilt motor

    When I got my 77 280z it was running great the transmission was shifting fine but I had a motor problem. I got the Motor Rebuilt and now that it's installed the transmission will not shift. The Mechanic installed everything as it once was. There is a vacuum disconnected that goes from the Exhaust header, could that cause the tranny not to work? Please I need help if anyone else has had this problem.
