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

I have a 1975 280Z and don't know which is the correct hood for my car. Is it the one with vents or without? Thanks.

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.

I'm the recent proud new owner of a beautiful '78 and last week my ac / heater controls stoped working. It seems to be set on panel ac and won't change to defrost. Before I start taking the dash apart does anyone know if this is a standard problem or are there any tricks to getting it back working. The interior is cherry (butterscotch really) so I don't want to do anything damaging, etc. thansk, Steve

Z people I need some help. I have never owned a Z car before. In the past I have owned several British sports cars and American muscle but never a Z. The recent rise in fuel costs has me looking to get rid of my 450 hp 1979 Z28 T Top Camaro in favor of a 1972 240Z. I located a likely car, with excellent straight body, fair interior and what seems to be solid mechanical systems. The car starts and idles fine. Slight backfire when excellerating but it wasnt really warmed up much and had been sitting for about 6 months. Oil is clean, carbs are clean, and the underhood looks mostly unmolested. Floor pans are solid, no visible body bubble rust on an older paint job. …

I know this has been gone over and over again and is probably getting a little old for those of you that have contributed to solve these issues. But if you're still up for a challenge I've got one. I picked up a 72 that had several components like starter, voltage regulator, coil, ballast resitor, etc that had obviously been parted out and missing. I replaced the missing parts and wired everthing back from the engine bay harness with a systematic approach to get her to the point of turning over. Thinking that I had made great accomplishments (being a novice) just to hear the engine turn over. I was ready for the next step of putting fire to the engine and hearing her ro…

I haven't driven the car much since the engine rebuild, in fact only had it broken in on a dyno then a track day and drove it from one side of atlanta to the other. I recently sold the car but have been working on some title issues, that we finally cleared up, and on friday, I moved the car out of the garage to do some other work and it started fine, on saturday, when I went to take it on a proving run before its long drive to the new home, I couldn't start it. It cranks for a second or two, lights off for about 2 revolutions and dies. Its an L28 with SU carbs, any ideas?

Took the '72 for a drive for the first time this weekend and on hard turns the steering wheel just locks up out of nowhere. You have to turn the key a little for it to unlock. Anyone know what is the issue and a fix for it?

I'm restoring my 1971 240z. Well, the engine runs really good but every time i drive the car, it smells so bad it makes me wanna throw up. It smells like exhaust and it gets all over my clothes and by the time I get to work in the morning, I smell like a dirty ol' mechanic. I want to restore my interior but the smell from the car is holding me back because I dont want the upholstry smelling like exhaust. Any ideas on how to get rid of the smell? I also notice that it smokes alot from the exhaust tail pipe. Thanks
