Hope someone can help. I am pretty new to the fourm but have spent a ton of time researching here and the fsm and FI Bible to find some information to help solve my problem. I will tell you what I know and maybe someone can tell me what I don't. I have a 76 z been sitting for 18 years. I got it started but is a bit hard to start. I cannot give it gas or it just breaks up very bad and backfires through the intake. If I give it gas very slowly it will rev up pretty good(very slowly). I have drained fuel tank and put in good gas. I have installed a new battery. I have tried to swap out ECU brain and no change. I have checked and fixed all vaccum leaks. I have isolated sectio…

I have a 77 280Z and through you guys' help got the new one in and everything back together and thought everything was goos to go but found one problem...after getting everything in and good to go, I found out that the clutch actuator (pretty sure that's what its called) once bolted back in, doesn't reach the fork when the pedal is depressed. The fork is too far back for the pin to hit when you press the clutch pedal and we were certain everything was in and perfect when it was all bolted back together...any suggestions? I really can't afford to take it to a shop to have it all done, basically wound up broke after ordering in a new clutch and driveshaft plus assorted necc…

I got a massive problem with condensation. What can i do to clean it up? a mate of mine tried to tell me to run metho through it but i dont think thats healthy for the engine. Ive run some spitfire through it but i still get more than a bit of white smoke plus lots of water. Before you say it, its not fuel ive checked nor is it blue smoke so i know its not oil. This supprised me as the car had not been started in ages before i got it. When i gave it the first kick in a long time there was a huge cloud of smoke but its nowhere near as much as it was but i want to get rid of as much as i can:rambo:

Seems like this was my last post as well, but I got the last problem sorted eventually.........:stupid: Here's the story so far: Car is a GS31 that's had the original L20A removed and replaced with an L28 by PO, whoever did the swap left all the L20 EFI gear (manifolds, ECU, AFM etc) there and hooked it up to the L28. Car ran fine when I first got it, started first go. Since putting the motor back together and doing a few laps at Teretonga (a local race track), I've had the car out a couple of times, without any major problems. She seemed to run a little rich on cold starts (a bit smokey when revved but it cleared as it warmed up) and drove fine. On Saturday, drove it …

Just getting into my 71 z and there is a box on the firewall that is made by Jacobs. It says electronic ignition, but when I pull the distributor cab there are points. I can unplag it and it wont start so I know it is doing something but what? I hope this is not a stupid question but I have never seen it before. Thanks for any help folks!

Everyone, I am looking for a 75' FSM for a 280z in PDF. I have the hard copy but it's about 25+ years old and is falling apart quickly with some pages missing and most out of order. I want to buy a 75 FSM in PDF so I can print them out and put it all in a binder and if a page goes missing or is damaged, I just print a new one. Courtesy Nissan has the CD's on the site, but the currently unavailable and it says 4-8 weeks till they come back ... I think I remeber someone telling me have been NLA for a while. Also I have been unable to find a 75' FSM in PDF from ebay. Anybody got any ideas on where to locate one? Thanks for the help...

Okay folks, the Z is still running rich, and stills appears to be burning oil. I'm going to list off some symptoms, and I would very much appreciate anyone who would like to give me some ideas. I'm finally getting to that point where I'm feeling comfortable working on my car by myself and replacing bad parts. Here's what I'ves got for yas: I recently discovered a discconnected PCV hose, I felt the hose, the vacuum here felt pretty weak. There was also no distinct "whistling" sound that gets spoken of often. Reconnected, better idle, 'can't tell if the exhaust is any more or less smokey though. I replaced a cracked hose atop the valve-cover. This is the breather hose t…

About a year ago, I was given a 1971 Datsun 240z. The guy who gave it to me let it sit for over 9 years, without touching it once. He said that when he parked it, it had over-heated. And that the clutch didn't work, at all. Me, some friends, and some partners/sponsors have been working on restoring this car. But, we've run into problems getting it to start. The car has no signs of over-heating, engine damage, and the clutch works on occasion. This is where we've gotten stuck. The engine turns over, but refuses to start unless the air is cut off from the carbs (we use paper towels). If it does fire, it only fires on a few cylinders, then backfires through the rear carb and…
