Hey all...I am new to the site but not a newb to auto forums! I did a search and couldnt find this problem! So my uncle has a 240...all original and he is the only owner. I am helping fix things cuz when I get a house...I can take the car from him...hehe..MINE! So he called me and said the car is having an ignition problem...for the lack of a better term. He says when he starts the car its fine, but when he turns it off and to the lock position...the car starts itself back up! It even runs while the is out. What could this problem be? I told him my theory was that since it is all original wiring, it is possible that the wires are bare somewhere along the line and are touc…

I have an early 1972 parts car and I am attempting to remove the headlight buckets. They are composite, not metal so I am trying to be real careful. I have removed all the bolts that I can see and still no movement. Do I have to remove the headlight itself from behind? Are there fasteners in the backside of the bucket. I am frustrated to say the least.:nervous: Thanks for any help and or advice. John

Hi - I just purchased a remanufactured Brake Booster and New Vacumm Check Valve. I'm installing them this weekend . My question is: What direction does the Vacumm Check Valve get installed? There is an ARROW and "E" marking on the gray port pointing toward the black port. Observations: When I blow into the Gray Port - air passes, when I pull vacumm on the Gray port - air is blocked. When I blow into the Black Port - No Air passes (it's blocked), when I pull vacumm on the Black Port - air passes. Any help and guidance is appreciated...Many thanks.

I have posted a request in the classifieds, but I am looking to locate these parts ASAP, so I have posted here ... I am really having trouble locating left and right inner tie rods for my 1975 280z. The are NLA everywhere I have called in the US and Z Barn hasn't returned two e-mails I sent. I am really in need of these parts. ... I can use the steering parts from any 74 and above car to 78. The Nissan parts numbers are: 48510-E8700 for the right side (Assy Rod Side RH) 46630-E8700 for the left side (Assy Rod Side LH) You can see Courtesy Nissan has them listed but not available.

I recently purchased a 72 240z, knowing there were more than a few bugs. I have a few that I am hoping some of you have input on or experience with. Behold, the list: 1. Electical: The stereo (and usually headlights) go off (briefly) when hitting a large bump (especially when going slow). This appears to happen when braking at times, also. A simple short in the system or part of a larger electical problem? The stereo always turns off when the hazzards are on. 2. Engine (oil): the pressure guage can, at times, go all the way to zero, when idling. Seems to be okay (relatively) when driving at various speeds. There is also an oil leak that is more significant after longer d…

I recently bought a 1973 - 240z. I just disassembled & cleaned the Wiper Switch, Turn Signal Switch and the Combination Switch. As a result, hazards flash brighter, wipers are faster, the dash lights now work(did not before) and the parking lights & headlights are all brighter. This is the good news. The bad news is that when I turn the combination switch from Parking Lights --> Headlights, the dash lights/parking lights go out! For some reason they don't stay lit. I pulled out the C/S and validated the switch appears to work properly. I confirmed continuity across the parking light (green wires) in both parking light and headlight positions, while …

Hi, been fixing problems on my car since purchase last March. Here is what I have done. Replaced: plugs (NGK) wires (Nissan) thermostat (Nissan) rotor distributor cap PCV (old one was froze) air filter fuel filter distributor (old one was froze up and vacuum advance leaked, have set timing and am getting good advance now) vacuum lines water temp sensor and connector AFM boot from AFM to throttle body The previous owner had set the TPS to where it was in WOT mode at all times. I believe this was to mask a running lean problem. Once I set it back correctly I have started the following problem. My car now hesitates on acceleration and will fire through the intak…

A while back I was having problems with idle and acceleration with my 78 280z. You guys gave me alot of helpful advice, and I managed to get it running really good.(It turned out to be the throttle pos. switch. I took the cover off, and bent the left contact slightly so it made contact right away, and it solved the hesitation problem.) The only problem I have now is when I come to a redlight, or push the clutch in, if the idling is above 1500 rpm, the idle will slowly climb to 3000 rpm. If I wait until the rpm's go down to about 1200, and then push the clutch in, it will stay around 1000 rpm. I checked the linkage and throttle body, and it is closed. When I start it up it…

I've been having trouble with my 280z running right, I posted a thread, and tried all of the suggestions, but I still have problems. Now when I start it up, it fires right up and idles fine. As soon as I go to give it a little gas it bogs out. If I floor it it stumbles a little, but then revs good. I crawled under to look at the fuel pump, and looked up the part #, and it is the right one, but they bypassed the fuel regulator that was back by the tank.(it was all rusted up) Could this cause it to run too rich, and flood itself out after sitting(see my other thread). Thanks for everyone's comments and advice.
