Hello all, I have a quick question regarding Tokico springs and shocks. I have an 1982 280ZX 2+2 and wanted to get Tokico springs and shocks for it. I found a kit on ebay for all four corners (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOKICO-HP-SHOCKS-NISSAN-280ZX-79-83-BEST-PRICE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33590QQihZ006QQitemZ160115090679QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW) but the guy says that they will only fit the 2 seater. However, on the Tokico website (http://www.hitachi-hap-la.com/TokicoGasShocks/app/19a.html) there is no mention of a difference between the 2 seater and the 2+2. Personally I cant see why there would be a difference, but I dont really want to buy them and have them s…

Hi I'm quite new with my Z, but also everything has worked smoothly with my car. Now the only problem, which I haven't figured out is where do you check the automatic transmission oil level and where is the spot to make the refill? I have some experience with newer cars, but not with automatic gearbox. I have the factory manual for 260z(y.74), but it doesn't say so clearly how do check the oil level.

Of how the weatherstripping lays in the doors? I'm looking to see where the gap is supposed to go. It has been too long since mine had the seals and I forget. Thanks!

I noticed a few days ago that my horn decided to stop working. All it does now when I push the horn pad is go "click click click" a bunch of times. I checked the fuse for it assuming that was case, but it looked fine. I'm not a big horn user so it doesn't matter much to me, but I just noticed it when I was passing somebody I knew and when I tried to honk all it went was "click click click". Any how, I was just wondering if the horn itself is blown or what and wondered if there's some connection that may be causing it.

In another post I got good advice to keep the 280 engine out of my 76' 280. That way I will have another engine if the 240 in my 72' goes bad or if I get bored and want another project that week. However, what else should I scavage from the 280 for the 240? How about the transmission or the electrical crap? Finally, what to do with the 280? Hate to take it to the wrecking yard. Anyone want one for heap cheap, say $ 500.00? One owner z.

I have a 72' 240 that I am restoring and I have a 76 280 with a damaged front end. The engine just had a top end overhaul and runs great. I was thinking of taking the 280 to a junk yard after pulling the engine. But I would only do that if the engine could go in the 240 if I ever need to do that. It is either that or just sell the 280 as is for $ 500.00, which is all I have into it. Any thoughts on this or anyone want to buy a 280? ScottyZ

Hey guys, haven't posted in this part of the forums yet, but i have to now!! When driving on the freeway, i'll be speeding up to 70, and then when i pull my foot a little back on the gas, the car stays at the last position i was at. ( basically feels like the thottle gets stuck). But, if I tap the pedal the car begins to slow down. I've done some reading and thought it could be the throttle springs (i think) but I've never worked on carbed cars before. So, I called up the guys at Ztherapy (GREAT guys) to order their video and they asked me what kind of carbs i had. Told them stock 73 flat tops. He told me to throw they over my yard and act like i'd gotten rid of a body, j…
