First, a little background info. I bought my '78 280Z 17 years ago and due to many factors, it hasn't been on the road until late last fall. I rebuilt the engine years ago with flat top pistons and an N47 head. I have driven the car around 200 miles total over several days. I have the stock cam in the car right now, BTW, not the cam in my sig. When I rebuilt the engine, I bought new injectors and had them flow matched. The fuel tank has been cleaned and relined w/POR15 and the filter is new. Fuel pressure reads where it should per the FSM at idle, but I haven't tested it under load yet. The car runs decent when cold, but begins to stumble when warm and by the time it has…

Good afternoon to all. In case you do not know I have been busy with my 83 280ZX. All little things but still need addressing. My talking lady is not working and I have narrowed it down to the speakers in the car. From what I have read the sounds are transmitted to the left front speaker. At the moment this speaker is not working. Not sure why. So I have two questions. 1. How do you remove the dash speakers ? 2. What replacement speakers can be used and still be able to use the talking lady? Thank you again :stupid:

My original antenna was broken when I bought the car (mast was broken off). I removed the interior panels and removed the antenna. When I removed the two screws that secure the mast to the rest of the unit, I realized the white plastic (does this "push" the mast up and down? or is it the actual antenna?) is broken and VERY brittle. My question: IF the motor and all else works (I have NOT verified this yet), is there a replacement available for the actual sectioned antenna AND can the white plastic "wire" be sourced and "rewound", effectively refurbishing the antenna? I was able to pull an antenna from a 197? 280Z and thought it would be a simple "switch", but this week…

Hi all. I'm new to the forum and need some quick help. On a wild hair, I'm going to look at a '72 240 Z this morning and I was wondering if there are any special things to look for as far as restorability. I used to own a '68 510 so I'm somewhat familiar with Datsuns in general. The current owner claims it runs but thinks it needs carb work. I was just going to make sure all the pieces seemed to be there and there wasn't a lot of rust. Any special pitfalls to look for as I inspect the car? Asking price is $1300. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Rob

So I have this JSK O-Ring fuel rail and intend to install it on the car to help sell it. Yes I am finally getting ready to move and need to sell the Z. But anyway, it has the 450cc injectors on it that are for a Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX Turbo. I was wondering that if you twaeked the AFM and fuel pressure, could these work? I really doubt they will so my next question is; Does anyone have a lower cc set of O-Ring injectors they are willing to trade or sell?
