So my driver's side door spring just popped out of place and bent the hell out of the hinge assembly that it's attached to. Does anyone have a spare lower drivers door hinge? I've got a '70 if it makes any difference. Please let me know ASAP! Please check your parts cars! I'll pay right away with expedited shipping. PM me!

Hi I am at a loss and a friend found this site for me. I have had 4 mechanics look at my car (79 280ZX) this last month and $800.00 later my car is in the same shape as I started. So, I thought maybe someone on here could assist me or they had the same issue? The issue= I will be going along and the out of the blue her RPM and OIL gauge(needles) will drop and she wil die, BUT if I am going at the right RPM I can pop the clutch and keep going. I never know when this is going to happen and so she sits and I hate it because I miss driving her. Can anyone help me? Thank you

Hello, I broke the thin long bolt reinstalling a new water pump. I have searched the forum and I've found out it would be best to remove the front cover to get the bolt out. I don't really want to take the cover off. Has anyone just tapped in a short bolt into the cover. I believe the two short bolts just go into the cover and the long bolts go into the block. I would also like to know if anyone has been sucessful using an easy out to get the bolt out with out taking the cover off. It's in about 2 1/2 inches so I'm sure it not too easy. oh yeah the car is a 72 240z

I've been driving my 260 more or less everyday for the last 2 months with no problems and today, first hot day of the season, it started running strangely: Drives fine until warm, then temp starts to creep up and holds a bit below 3/4 of the gauge (I replaced thermo, temp sending unit and water pump recently). Then it starts hesitating, sort of, pulls fine, then lets back a bit for a sec, pulls fine again, let back and so on. If I turn it off and she cools down, runs fine til warm again. Lastly, all of this got me looking at my gauges and I noticed my oil pressure is fairly low in low gears, say 15-25 and 5 at idle and at highway speeds pressure builds up to midway but it…

I have a 1978 FI 280z, the car starts fine but if I give it a quick rev and let go of the gas it stumbles and dies. If I rev it but don't let off the gas pedal entirely (like enough gas to keep it slightly above idle) it will keep running. Right now it is idling at about 800-900 rpm. I pulled the plugs right after it was running for about 20mins and they were dry and I don't see any smoke coming from the tail pipe. The exhuast smells like fuel pretty strong but I don't know if thats a normal Z thing because I've heard of people complaining about the exhaust fumes from Z's before.

Hi I need some help from you guys. The workers at Body shop take out these rear clip finishers and they lost one of them. Suppose to be 4!! (last picture) You can see pictures of the clips before te car go to paint in it`s place, so my question is: are they original? Someone told me that they were welded to the body... ok I agree with that if we are talking about the other part that holds these clips that I am searching for... (last picture) If they are original, does anyone has some that could sell to me, because one of three I have is broken and one is lost, so I need 2. Thank You and hope someone could help me Filipe Azevedo
