Hey everyone, I recently replaced the tranny in my 240z and I cant seem to get it into gear. The tranny shifts fine with the car off, but once I turn it on I can't enter any gear and reverse grinds. I replaced the Slave cylinder, but I wasn't quite sure exactly where it needs to be adjusted (gravity bled it cause I didnt have another person). The car doesn't seem to have much if any pedal pressure, and looking at the clutch master cylinder from in the car there seems to be a little bit of fluid coming from the stopper. I recently filled the front resevoir of the brake master cylinder and now its competely empty. Would this cause a lack in pedal pressure? What are your tho…

After chasing vacume leaks for a while I recently figured out why my heater controls wern't working. The main source magnet valve is "shot". I've been told just to bypass it and it's no big deal. I was told that the valve is only used to keep the settings accurate right after startup. I'm looking for a new or used valve but does anyone know what this valve is for and what detriment there will be to bypassing it? thanks, Steve

My friend's looking at a cheap 280z in the area, owner says all it needs is an floorpans, an AFM, and a new battery. The pictures look alright and we're going to check it out this weekend. I was pretty sure the AFM was compatible but another friend of mine told me they changed the AFM's every 3 years or so with the L28 series. Can anyone give me some insight on this? If the AFM doesn't work would I have to change other things in order to get the AFM to work on the car? Plan is to pick up the car and drive it home if possible. Thanks in advance.

I am working on stopping fumes from coming inside my '73 240Z. I am replacing the hatch rubber seals, both upper and lower. I have a question about my tail pipe. The end of the tail pipe is 3 1/4 inches from the end of the rear bumper. If I extend the tail pipe to the end of the bumper, will this help with the fumes problem as well? Thanks.

I own a 1974 Datsun 260z w/L28et out of an 82. I'm currently overwhelmed with electrical problems. I've had quite a few in the past, but this one's the worse. My fusible links recently burned out. I traced the problem to the distributor and I replaced the cap as well as the rotor which were pretty much melted. I figured I would just swap over the fusible links from my 79 280zx and call it a day and get back to having fun with the 260z. However, I don't think I can swap them at all. I currently can't start the car at all, it doesn't even crank up. The starter is brand new and spins just fine (the old screwdriver trick). There's no crank whatsoever, all you hear is a really…

Hi guys, I'm on the scrounge again. Sent my series 1 gearbox crossmember away for a repair and powdercoating and they lost it. They are happy to pay the bill for it's replacement but I still need to find one. I could get one fabricated but I'd rather procure the correct part. If you have one spare that you want to part with to a loving and pampering home under my rebuilt shell, could you contact me please via this thread or PM me. Cheers all.

When the car is in motion it idles at 2k, when the car hits 10mph or so, it returns to normal idle. Every once and a while the brakes get squishy. I looked for the brake booster to check vac and nothing is wrong. l28e, 1979 280zx, stock mostly... 5-speed. Thanks in advance

So I finally have the car running OK. When its running, the timing light shows it to be at about 40 - 50 degrees(??) BTDC (about 2" past the notches on the crank pulley). I think I may still be off by one notch, but its much better. I have to turn the service screw up to keep it idling at around 1,500, or it misfires alot. My question is, how much of that can be made up by moving the wires back one position on the dizzy? Is it 60 degrees (6 wires, 360 total degrees). I must've put that oil pump in and out about 15 times before I got it this close, and I really don't want to do it again. I'm at 50 BTDC with the adjustment on the dizzy right in the middle. I'm thinki…
