Speaking of smog...... My 73 240z triple Webers were running rich so I was pretty certain my car would not pass the AZ smog test. Failed miserably. Unfortunately AZ only exempts pre 1966(or 1967?) so I obviously had to do some major carb work. I am putting 1972 SUs on, but I have absolutely no smog equipment on the car(the way I bought it, and the po didn't save any smog equipment). Is it possible at all that the car could pass with just the stock carbs, or will it be necessary to try and find all of the smog equipment and put it back to totally stock? The engine is rebuilt and runs well otherwise. These smog guys weren't even interested in carbs or any other mods,…

I'm finally going to drop the tank on my sons '77 280Z and get it cleaned. I've been fighting hesitations and such ever since we bought the car. I know that some here have used a product to re-line the tank. I think it's POR 15 or something close. I've found a radiator shop that will do it for $125 which includes cleaning the inside and re-lining it and also cleaning the outside and spraying it with a black material. Is this a good price since the kit on the internet is $65? I figure it beats the hassle of me working on the tank myself for a week. Also, are there any tricks that I need to know before dropping the tank?

OK, im getting an '83 280zx turbo and the car has sat for the past 10 years or so. The reason it was parked was because it had stopped running and they never got it fixed. So basically I am wondering where should i start and what should I do? I have always been around cars in the past and now, just never had a Datsun, or any turbo car in that matter. Thanks in advance for all your help, Adam

Can anyone help me with a microfiche CD for a '82 280ZX? A parts book would also be helpful. I have only seen S30 CDs. If you know where I can get one or have one for sale, please PM me. Thanks.

Hi, I have had no luck trying to get hold of the grommet that goes on the firewall where the heater matrix pipes come through. It is not the two donut type ones on the earlier cars (up to 1973 I think), this is for a 1978 260z. It is a one piece grommet, held in place by a metal plate. (The metal plate looks like a smaller version of the blanking plate for the a/c on the firewall). I can't find a part no. listed on my microfiche, my good source in the UK had no luck, and I have tried the likes of Banzai Motorworks, ebay, its not listed in my MSA catalogue. Can someone help with a part no. or a proven source for this part. Cheers Ian

...for the tach not working? I have just resurrected my car after 12 years of sitting. In fact, I just got her registered yesterday and cannot wait to take her out again when it's not raining. All of the guages work well (I haven't really checked the clock) but the tach doesn't do a thing. I am thinking that maybe a connection is loose, or not attached, when I got the thing there were a LOT of disconnected looms. Any/all comments/help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I recently purchased a N-66 head from a Nissan/Datsun inventory liquidator on E-Bay. He says it is the equivalent to a 260Z head, and it is NOS. How could I go wrong. Have an F54 short block next to my tired 240Z in Scottsdale, maybe a quick cure? xstates@verizon.net

I have a 1973 240z that had triple Webers on it, and I am replacing these with stock 3 screw SUs. The rod that goes from the firewall to the carbs is too short and it looks like the rod that I need would have to be somewhere near 12 inches long. I'm not sure what modifications the previous owner made to the linkage, but shouldn't a stock 1972 linkage rod be the right size? Or was the 1973 linkage setup on the firewall different than the 1972? In other words, do I need to just fabricate(weld in an extension) what I need from my present rod, or will the stock linkage rod from a 1972 be the right length? If the stock rod will work, does anyone have a spare one? Thanks,…

I just recently bought all new tires because the front right one was worn bad on the outside of the tread. Now when I get to about 60 mph the car starts to float or wobble from side to side in the front, kinda feels like the front right tire is just flopping around. I hope thats a good explanation. Does anyone know what would cause this? Help!
