One would think there must be a fairly good market for a company to make gas tanks for these cars. A year ago when I first bought my '73 240z I looked everywhere on the net for a new aftermarket tank. I saw very many different tanks for many classic models, '34 fords, 55 T-birds, vettes,,you name it, the tanks are out there. At very reasonable prices also. It seemed like most were a little over $100 to $150. Yet we are spending around $300 to have it refurbished by a professional at a radiator shop. Geez, you would think some fabricating shop would catch on and start making them. Why let a professional boil it, acid wash it, rinse it, line it, seal test it, paint i…

I know it's probably a stupid question, but I just got a 1978 280z coupe and I'm not entirely sure if I should remove the front headlamp shell to change the headlamp. I already have the new lamps to put in and I can't drive the car until I put the lamps in because I drive at night. Also, I bought a lamp with replaceable H4 bulbs with blue city lights on the bottom. Do I need to change the harness, or will it still be okay? I heard the wires melt if the bulb is not a regular sealed beamed or a halogen. Thanks to anyone who can help. I need to change my lights today! I've owned a Z before, but it was a 300zx and the light assembly was different. DeMoore

I just got a 77 280z and its in great shape other than the fact that it doesn't run. It has many many new parts and only 112k miles. it will crank and stay on for a minute or two and then just sputter out and slowly die, as if its running out of gas. fuel injectors look new, I put a new fuel pump in and still the same problem. the last owner said it might be the fuel injector relay...replaced and still the same thing. would it be something as small as a inline fuel filter or something bigger? any suggestions would help alot. Thanks

Hello all, I need a rear left hand bumper off a 240z to complete my rebuild. The one off my car must be off a 260z as the angles are out by about 10 degrees which results in the tip of the bumper being 40mm from the guard. We only found it after test fitting after extensive panel repairs. The panels measure up as per the factory spec. It needs to have the holes for securing the rubber strip to. Many thanks guys and gals. James

Hi re building and pretty much going off of the geocities z car garage http://datsunzgarage.com/ and it says that main bearings should be factory, but called the dealer and they want 140$... said there were only 15 sets in the US, what would be a good substitute to factory? Also what happened to that Z show @ summit in ohio, last year I missed it by an hour because I couldn't figure out when it was this year I havent seen anything.

well i've been cleaning my car a bit, trying to get it running right. i don't think number 3 is getting any fuel. pull the plug and it appears to not be getting fuel. pull off the injector wire, nothin changes, pull off the plug wire, nothin changes. number 1 had the same problem, but it turned out the actual injector wire was corroded, fixed it by cleaning it. but number 3 i cleaned as well, no change. I drove it around my complex a bit and it started clearing, but once i parked and let it idle a bit, it sounded rough again. I'll be the fuel rail is gunked up or soemthin. it does have a bit of trouble reving if you try smashing the throttle, but give it a bit less and it…

I just got the rotors replaced on my 280 ZX 2+2 non-turbo, and on the way home from the shop, she started making some bad noises, and I pulled over and called Advanced Auto, who said it may be my power steering fluid. I immeditely went there and filled her up. She still made part of the noise (I guess it was part power steering fluid problems) and I asked them what it could be. They said it was my water pump and that I should flush my cooling system and see if it helps. I know Z cars have problems with their water pumps, so I was expecting it. But will it actually help to flush the system? Its making kind of a cluning noise, kind of, and kind of squeaky... Can I drive he…

This problem just started about 2 days ago where when my engine is warm if i stop at a light or stopsign my car will idle rougher than normal than when i accelerate softly my car wil backfire until it gets to about 2000 rpm and it will just accelerate normally. I havent done anything except put gas in my car and wash it for the last month so i dont see anything that would have made this start happening. Btw my car is a basically stick 75 280Z. Thanks, Jason
