I've searched but can't find the answer; looked in Motorsports catalog & in Victoria British; both have different pictures. I replaced my wheel brake cyclinders on my 1976 280x while I had the car apart to replace the half shaft u-joints. It's been down a while and I'm stuck! I got new brake shoes with the wheel cylinders but the return springs were no that old, so I didn't order those. I can't get the bottom spring on to save my life. Am I correct in that the upper spring is he shorter of the two and the curve on the ends twist in different directions and the bottom return spring is longer spring and the curved ends curve in the same direrection??? If so, they will N…

I just filled the tank on the 240 and noticed gas was dripping from the rear. After inspection it appears to be running down a black hose that is located almost at the far rear. If you look up from the ground it is behind the tank, nearer the taillight(right side). Any ideas why at half a tank it doesnt leak, but full it's dripping? Thanks,

The drivers side door on my 73 240 closes fine but it's not a tight seal, in otherwords it's closed, but it still looks like its not shut all the way. Whats the best way to adjust this? I cleaned everything and it helped with the passenger door as it now closes perfectly, but I can't get the drivers side to close all the way. Thanks for any input. Randy

First, I'll appologize that this isn't about one of my Z-cars. Sorry 'bout that. But it is about a Nissan . I'm trying to remove the manual transaxle from a 1995 Nissan 200SX. If there are any remaining bolts holding this stupid thing on, I can't find them. But it acts like it is still solidly bolted to the engine. Any time I've dropped a Z-car tranny, once the bolts are off, it is pretty easy to just pull away from the engine. But I've never removed a FWD transaxle before. I've pry-bar'd and (lightly) hammer'd it outward, and I move the whole engine/tranny. Don' see any separation at this point. If anyone knows anything about removing a transaxle that would cause d…

I think I hosed the relay by mis-connecting the two leads. With connectors in proper place, nothing happens. Can't locate a combo relay (looks like a combo) in Houston, but Auto Zone can get separate fuel pump / efi relays in about a week. Any ideas on what else I might have screwed up or where I can get a replacement? Thanks for the help.

I'm not exactly sure what it's called what I'm missing here on the fuel injection, but if you look and compare in the two photos there is a part that mounts on the fuel injection which is not mounted on mine being the top photo. Is this related to emissions? This part has never been on it and assume the previous owners took it off for one reason of the other. We have a fuel injection book for the these engines but we seemed to have missed placed it and now I can't find it so I was wondering if you guys could help me understand what is missing on it. Thanks. If you guys would like, I can take a better picture tomarrow of it, it's getting dark here so the quality is pret…

I have a 77 280Z that doesn't have a injector pulse and low fuel pressure. the last owner put on a aftermarket pump and drove it until it wouldn't start one day . Now I know that 2psi of pressure is way to low to start but is there something that is stoping the injectors from getting a pulse due to the low pressure. any help would be great
