Need a little help for anyone who has a good set of parts manuals for All Datsuns. I found an NOS part, but it was not the correct part for my 1970 Z. Can anyone tell me the purpose and car model part # 25230-89903 is for? The part I was looking for is #25230-E4100 which is the rear window heater relay. #25230-89903 does not show up in the parts CD. Thanks for any input. Dan

Thanks to Arne and others, I have determined that my car was originally an automatic. One of the previous owners swapped in a 5/71 engine with an "A" series 4-speed transmission. I got my hands on a low mileage L26 4-speed (purposely, I do not want a 5-speed). The transmission comes with the clutch fork and throw-out collar. Now, here is my question. Can I simply swap the clutch fork and throw out collar from the "A" series tranny into the L26 4-speed, since the collar matches the pressure plate. If I decide to switch to a self-adjusting slave cylinder, can I match up the throw-out collar with the L26 clutch fork? See you on the road.

ok guys, here we go....again.. i just cleaned my fuel tank, put a new pump, filter, and injectors in it...even a clear filter before the pump so i can see what crap is still flowin out the tank that i missed.. anyways, the darn thing doesnt like to start now, hot or cold. if i shut it off and go to start it again, it will start just fine. but if it sits for a few min its like pulling teeth. once its going it runs like a champ..granted there is still a lil bit of stuff comin from the fuel tank, but the filter before the pump blocks what little there is, and it didnt make a difference anyways, even with all new filters and a new pump all at the same time. its the same…

Hello. I've been looking at a 1978 280Z "Black Pearl." I confirmed this by the "638" color code on the radiator. The car has under 50,000 miles. It is all original, except it was repainted a different black several years ago. The owner has the original radio (in a box) and the original wheels and tires (yes, original tires). The only issues are a small bubble in the paint by the gas cap and two paint bubbles on the area between the front windshield and the hood. The owner says that it's just surface rust, but it is a real concern for me and one that I would have looked at by someone with more experience than I. Main questions are what is the car worth and is it a good inv…

Thanks for reading my post; I appreciate it. I am installing 2 new door rubber gaskets. The old ones I have now have the ends down in the middle of the rocker panel area. If I install the new gaskets (the cheapo's from VB)..the bag labeled for left, if installed on the left, would have the ends ending somewhere around the front edge of the door, I would say about half way down, near the level where the hood release is. Which way would everyone recommend? Which way is standard, and what is all of your opinions? I would think it wouldn't matter....but if the ends come off on the front side, I wouldn't want to do that...it would look better imo if the ends were not in the mi…

So yeah the only thing that is keeping my z off the road right now is the connector that goes between the EGR and the EGR pipe broke and I can't find a replacement. I would like to know if there is anyway to bypass it Because I seen headers that don't have to hole for it and I'd just buy one of those. Or if there is anyone that has one that I can buy off them. I really need help on this one.

One of my long term goals is to re-do the wiring in my car and I happened on this ready-to-close auction on e-bay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-240z-240-z-OEM-Wiring-Harness-Complete-Uncut_W0QQitemZ320054447174QQihZ011QQcategoryZ10076QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Is there a reliable way to know if this will fit in my 7/73 (no A/C) car? It would be nice to have and stash away until I can take on the whole project, as it appears to be in decent shape and thay aren't too easy to come by. Thanks! -m

I hot wired my BCDD but I know that I did it incorrectly. I have it wired directly off the battery so it's a constant on. The battery is now dead on the car and I thinking that it's due to the BCDD being wired this way. What is the correct way to wire the BCDD so it's not a drain on the battery. I know the BCDD is bad since the car now idles down when shifting.
