So I am finally getting around to puttin my 240z back together after paint and I am installing the windows. I have a problem though I dont know/remeber where the little roller goes. I am talking about the small piece that has a roller on it. It seems like it hangs somwhere in the door but I dont remember where? Any pictures or comments where it goes or if I have to mount it will be very useful. Keith

Hey guys, Picked up a 72 240z recently and when I hit the key I get absolutely nothing (no clicking, etc). I bought a new ignition switch and threw that in today but still, nothing and no noise. Right now I have a jumper going from the + on the battery and the + on the coil with a jumper on the solenoid that I tap on the + of the battery. With this hooked up the car starts fine. When I try the key with the coil jumper hooked up, some of the interior dash lights go on (brake light and gauges work) and I get some clicking from the key. When I turn the key to start with the jumpers, the volt meter moves and the dash lights die (battery needs to be charged). At this point im …

I have a question about my '77 Nissan 280z that I'm trying to fix. Why isn't there any power going to the fuel injectors? It starts for like one second, but then it just shuts off. Could it be a relay? If it is, would anybody know where it's located at? and what kind of relay it is? If anybody knows what to do, please give me some advice I would appreciate it. Thanks!

while repairing the lights on my 83 zx i made the mistake of taking off the spring clip which holds the stout little spring on the column below the steering wheel as it didn't see like the combo switch/stalk unit would come off otherwise. fixed the lights but now can't get the spring in place. anyone have thoughts on what to do for this.

I have been reading these posts and it is a wealth of information. I am looking to buy a 71 240Z in Seattle Friday. It looks great with the subtle z fender flares, rebuit e31 head, 6 in 1 header, aluminized exhaust, mallory dist, bored out 50 over with konig springs, HID headlights and PIAA driving lights. Sounds almost too good to be true for $6500. What are your thoughts? I am not scared as hell of rust in the floor boards reading from what everyone has said. The owner has only had it for 8 months and is a home builder and is need of the cash. He says the only rust is on the back hatch where it pools under the paint. He also said that it smells of fuel which I a…

I will most likely be buying a 71 240Z tomorrow that the seller broker the e-brake cable by over adjusting the rear brakes. I called a dealer to see if they had one and he said Nissan is longer available. Any idea on where I can locate one from a dealer? I know some said ebay but nothing there right now. Any help would be good. Thanks

280z newbie here. :stupid: Here's the deal: I noticed that every time I stepped on my brakes, my stereo speakers made a funny noise. Then I noticed that my voltage meter would sputter with my engine. It didn't affect overall performance; it was a small issue. Then, every time I stepped on my brakes, my stereo would simply shut off, or my brake light would come on. The red charge light comes on now and she backfires/sputters and loses all kinds of power going up hills. I'm having issues that seem similar to injector problems. However, I'm inclined to think it an electrical problem since the brake light and car sputtering were the first signs of this issue. This morning I …

My wheel cylinder (rear, driver's side) is leaking like a sieve. So of course I want to replace it. None of the stores here have them in stock at the moment, so I'm just going to order one myself. Before I do, though, just wanted to link y'all to pictures of the ones I might get just to make sure they're right. It says it's for my 74 260Z, but I just want to double check. http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/details/QQNissanQQ260ZQQRaybestosQQWheel_CylinderQQ1974QQWC37305.html http://info.rockauto.com/RB/Detail2noTip.html?http://www.dormanproducts.com/images/items/hwrap1/p7250684.jpg The first one looks a bit different and doesn't have the adjuster (?) that the Dorman one ha…

Greetings Group, As you can see, I am a 911 guy, and sorry to sorta parachute in here, but a good friend, who is not into the Internet has a 280Z with a problem we don't know how to fix. I'm hoping this forum can help the way Rennlist does with my old 911. Dan accidentally put thw wrong key in his ignition and it fit well enough to get the switch to "on", but now it is locked there, and of course, the right key won't go in now. Is there a way to get the cylinder back to "off?" If not, how do you change out the cylinder from this starting point? Thanks in advance and sorry to jump in here! Best regards to all, Dave

I have got a problem with my ignition, the car starts fine but won't keep running. I can turn the key to start and no problem but when it goes back to ON the engine cuts out. I thought that it was the electical part of the ignition in the back of the lock so i ordered a new one from MSA, however the problem still occurs. Everything seems to be in good order, ie fuses, alternator, coil and ignition switch (the electrical module behind the lock), could my problem be the VR. If anyone has had this problem or knows an obvious solution please let me know.
