I have a 76 280Z that gets power to ignition switch, but not to starter. I've looked into fuse panel, and don't understand why all the "buss bars" don't have voltage. I have an idea (after looking at FSM) that it could be the starter relay mounted above fuse panel. You can hear it click (and relays elsewhere), but I don't neccesarily believe its getting continuity to the load side of the relay. Am I looking in the right direction? Just like more input before I crawl up into dash to pull it out and check though. What do ya'll think?

I need to buy a gas cap for a '70 240Z. It doesn't need to be original, but it needs to fit. I saw that MSA has them for $54, but that seems a little high. Does anyone have one or know where I can find one? P.S. I left from Chattanooga, TN and drove to Birmingham at 4AM last week and filled up on the way out. I must have left the gas cap off in a sleepy stupor (or maybe it was stolen, doubtful. yeah that's it. it was stolen.). I noticed it when I got to the 'Speedsouth Solo Shootout' event and since I had right at half a tank, I figured no gas would slosh out, so I just used a rubber band and a plastic bag and voila, a makeshift gas cap. Well, Gas did slosh out an…

Hi. Need Some Design Advice. Unfortunately I am not an Datsun owner. But I love em. I am still kicking my friends butt for trading in his Datsun 240Z for the new 350Z. But I did steal his Datsun shift nob. Its mine now. Anyways, a bunch of us diecast car enthusiast love the shape of the Datsun 240Z, its one rare modern cars that actually have a "sexy" shape to it. Attached to this post is a picture of the Hotwheels diecasting of it. The far left as it comes in the box, the middle one is chromed, and the far right is naked, no paint. My question to you guys is this, what design should I modify it too? I have been thinking about a GTO version, or super charge it? Sug…

I'm brand new here and while I have basic automotive knowledge, I'm not real familiar with these cars, so I'm looking for some short cuts:) I have a 1973 240Z in my back yard that belongs to a young friend of mine who bit off more than he can chew; I have no idea when it last ran but it's been in my yard for 2 years now. It is a complete "project car" and he's in no position to restore it so now it is for sale. I want to see if I can at least get it to run to make it a little more attractive to a potential buyer. I transferred a battery from another car and the starter spins the engine over. I've got compression, I've got spark, but the fuel line from the tank s…

Can anyone direct me in finding a couple of parts for my heating system? You see I took my 1977 280Z in for a new evap core and can't walk away without the heating system being addressed. The technician is wanting me to find a heater control valve, cable operated with a capillary, and the 2 nd part is a heater control valve vacuum operated. Can any of you help me, so I can get my car back within a reasonable amount of time? Do any of you think Motorsport in Orange, CA can be of help or where would you recommend?:disappoin :knockedou

Hey everyone I'm new to the forum. I just picked up a 71 240z that has just had it's engine rebuilt, hasn't even been broken in yet. I was letting the car sit at idle before I adjusted the carborators when i glanced over and noticed that the oil pressure gauge was pegged at the bottom. I gave it a little gas and it raised to about 20. After letting off it soon returned to the bottom of the gauge. Also when i give it gas a small blue cloud is puffed out. The weird thing is, if i drive it around a little bit it will stop spilling out smoke. I can even let it sit after that and it still wont smoke. I pulled a couple plugs and there weren't any signs of oil, but it wa…

I'm still fighting my BCDD valve problem with the notorious high idle when downshifting. I've read a vew threads about going to a larger throttle body and eliminating the BCDD altogether. Has anyone done this and does it work or what else can I do to solve my idling problem on my '77 280. Any help is appreciated.

when the car is off the car at the tach registers at o. But when I turn on the car the tach jumps to the highest number 8 or 9 but when I'm driving the needle stays at 8 or 9 and doesn't move. As I turn off the car the needle goes down to 0.What is wrong with the tach?
