Regarding the manifold finish survey hls30 ran back in sept: the jet hot process got a lot of votes. My question is whether that could be considered "stock" in an original car show. Looks great. "Real" original would seem to be the rusty crusty cast iron.

I have a 73 240z that I've been trying to get road worthy. After inspecting the ignition components I discovered the vacuum advance isn't working. After pulling it and giving it the suck test its not leaking but I can't come close to moving it with just lung power. The spring on the arm is so stout I don't know how the diaprham could ever move it. Is this normal? Hope its not trash because these things seem to be a bugger to find. Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm restoring a 72Z and have a floor part question. I'm replacing the passenger side floor pan. As you know, the floor pan kits come with a metal support on the underside that stops at the toepan. However, there is a wedge shaped metal piece that runs forward from the toepan to a point wher the right front support strut connects. This is rusted out and doesn't seem to be part of the kit. On the driver's side, the original part is all one piece that goes under the floor pan and includes the forward piece I'm talking about. Hope this is not too confusing an explanation. This is not about the front frame rails which are a seperate issue. Thanks ahead of time to all you kno…

I am listed as Coke Man and I am new to the site. I have a 1974 260Z and the strips on the front and rear bumpers need to be replaced along with the rubber that fits up against the car behind the bumpers. I could also use some bumpers that are in great shape as mine are a little dull. Can anyone help. Also does anyone know where I can get some radio knobs for thr radio mine are missing. One other thing I have a R200 rear end and when going down the road as long as it is pulling it is quite however, when I let off the gas I rear a noise. Could this be a bad u-joint? By the way I really enjoy this site.

It appears to be a drain hole of some sort, under the carpet. The hole is missing like a rubber plug (about a 2" hole). Does anyone know where to get a replacement plug? I've checked Blackdragon and Motorsport with no luck.

I have been carefully working this last injector screw. Tighten a fraction, then loosen a fraction, used penatrating oil, etc etc. Been on this for a week. Finally most of the grip within the screw head is gone, so I can't even grip with the phillips screwdriver. This is in a tight spot. Any suggestions on removing this? I have a spare car with an intact fuel rail, injectors, and screws, etc, so if I have to break this injector I will, but I want to use that as a last resort!! Thanks to any and all that can help.

Just converted from FI to carbs on a late '75 280. It runs fantastic until the float runs out of fuel. Pull the coil, crank starter, fill the bowl, plug in coil, repeat. Checked fuel flow when the car is actually running and there is NOTHING. Switched to a low pressure fuel pump that flows nicely but only when the ignition switch is cranking the starter. Apparently I've missed something in this conversion that is critical for telling the fuel pump to continue running when the engine is on, not just turning over prior to start. Any help is hugely appreciated. Thanks a million!

Does anyone know if the 75-78 280z's had a/c as an option or standard? If an option, would the controls in the car still have the a/c option if the car came without it? Also, where is a good source for vin decoding?
