Does anyone know where to get that small oil trough that goes through the adaptor plate on a '76 five speed? Mine broke (all by itself...sure) and I don't trust braizing it. Cheers!

I have just purchased a Haynes Automotive Repair Manual for my 240z. This is my first time tuning carbs and have followed everything step by step and now have run into some confusion. On sec 16, #19 it says: "set the fast idle screw so that there is a clearance at its tip of between .039 and .079 (1 and 2 mm) when the balance screw is lightly depressed with the finger." i cannot lightly depress the balance screw because its screwed down to keep my carbs balanced. the only way to lightly depress it and make that 2mm clearance is to completely slacken the balance screw so the screw is not touching the thing that its suppose to push down on. but that would unbalance the 2…

I bought a 76 280Z this past weekend, great car, great mechanically, has a few little electrical issues, but yesterday I was working on the car and I noticed a small puddle about 6" in diameter under the back right side of the car.:mad: I bent down and looked up under the car and noticed the right side of the fuel tank was wet and drips were coming from the drain plug ( although this may not be the source of the leak). Any ideas on what to do next? I'm thinking about taking it off and refurbishing it, but I want to make sure it would be a better decision than out and out replacing it ( because finding another fuel tank might be difficult and expensive). It's a great c…

My '83 280 zx nonturbo has been having some problems lately. Within the past couple of weeks, at lights, my car will act like it wants top turn off in a pulsing motion. But when I drive, this doesnt happen. It has only happened twice. Also, my voltage meeter has been going crazy. The needle just goes in and out of the red area, over the 14 volt range. I have a leak somewhere in my antifreeze lines or heater core or something, and I was wondering if the antifreeze leaking on wires could cause this. Also, I have been haing issues with my brakes. Occationally, it wont catch, and I stop, I just have to go much farther down on the break pedal. My dad said I would probably ne…

Hello, Im new to this forum and bought a 78' 280z w/ the (83ZX L28 Nonturbo engine+tranny) I recently have heard noise whenever the rpms are at 1K at idle and while driving. It hasn't caused any affect on performance it is just really loud and annoying. I used the search tool but im not sure whether it is the fan clutch, waterpump bearings going bad, or if the belt is just loose. I don't know what any of these sound like but the noise is a high pitched squeal. Im somewhat thinking it is the belt because when i put a little baby powder on it the noise was lower but then became louder. I don't have AC or Power Steering. I will post a video of it on youtube as reference. I'm…

Is There a commonality between the Injectors firing and the electric fuel pump I have to help Son's friend tommorrow, his fuel pump quit getting power so I jumped it out and it is fine, but at the same time it appears the injectors are not firing, have pressure but not starting, can induce starting fluid and starts right up then dies! Any thing that controls both, not sure if the ecu controls anything on the fuel pump!

:stupid: The more I learn, the less I know. Thought it would be easy to remove the original cover of the '71 Driver's Seat so I can repair/replace the sun damaged foam and re-stitch the seat leather or vinyl, whichever it is, but not so easy. Any guidance or hints on how to go about this? Thanks tons.

My crossmember has been mangled badly and I'm about to fabricate a new unit. One side is higher than the other and I'm not sure if this is a stock thing but I doubt it. If anyone has a unmolested one handy that they could measure up, I'd apprecaite it. Pics would be a bonus. I'm unsure that the crossmember is unique to the A series gearbox or just the early 240z (series 1). It has a solid mount to the chassis unlike the bushed later unit. So if you have a mid to late 71, 72 or 73, you'll have a different crossmember to mine.
