Hey guys, I was working on my Zed's interior the other day - I found out that it'll need a new floorpan. Anyway, After I cleaned up everything I decided to give it a ride, despite the fact it isn't in the healthiest state. As usual, I turned the key, gave it some choke, and tried to start. The car fired up, but it was running on 4 cylinders or something. After a while it ran normally, it was just as usual when I drove it. I didn't drive it fast, I thought it didn't start as usual because it was raining earlier in the morning, and it was quite colder than the day before. The next day was sunday, and I decided to further work on it. Before that, I wanted to check how was t…

Well I got it to run decently for a while. Now something’s wrong though. The car sounds raspy, and there’s barley any acceleration. I put new SU carbs, wires, plugs, cap, and rotor on it. The carbs are tuned (as i said it was running fine). I thought it was the firing order, but I brought the first cylinder to TDC and rechecked the order and it was correct, there seems to be no vacuum leaks. So I figured I just got bad gas, because it happened soon after I filled up one day. I noticed there seems to be air bubbling up in the fuel line headed towards the mechanical fuel pump. I took off the fuel strainer, cleaned it out, put it back on, and still same thing. What shoul…

Was wondering if anyone knew about 4spd auto conversions, Im sure i saw a faq on this website a while ago, but i cant seem to find it, I have an 280zx and was thinking of installing a 4spd auto gearbox, I have done some reading and it appears the gearbox from a 300c or earlier 300zx (with the vg30e engine) can be made to work in a 280zx, Apparently its got the mechanical, not computer controlled lockup, Anyone know how i can get this box this to fit? Also - i have a 1986 VL Commodore with 4spd auto lying around, anyone know if this gearbox can be used in the 280zx? I have been told that it can, with a change of bellhousing, but wasnt to certain if any other mods were requ…

Okay. So almost done- I got the trans back in and was getting ready to jack it up and bolt the mount to the chassis. Driver side retainer is stripped or something bcause the bolt will not seat at all. Bolt is okay, its the piece that is slightly mobile in the chassis. So how screwed am I. Any thoughts on how easy this will be to work around. Will I need to get a welder involved etc. Thoughts please. Thanks! <edit> I got an answer on the zcar forum thought i'd follow my post up w this. -quote- I had the same problem during reassembly. There is a captive nut inside the small 'box' on the frame. I got a one size larger tap, and was able to thread the nut to th…

After sorting out the EFI problems I had previously, got the car back together and all was well. Latest problem that's just developed is the fuse for tail/dash lights keeps blowing. Anyone have any pointers on where to start looking? Everything seemed fine Thursday night, cars been out once and came back with the negative terminal of the battery sitting on the manifold, but this shouldn't cause any issues, should it? Theoretically, it should only be acting as another earth, correct? When I first turn the lights on, you can see the volt gauge drop right down until the fuse blows. Had a check the other night, using a multi meter. It's earthing out at the tail and park light…

Hey all, I am in the process of moving my diff back into the later corrected position. The problem I'm having is that the front crossmember will not line up. I have the curved rear tranverse(?) mount and the later moustache bar. Am I supposed to be using a later mount insulator? I have the 1970-1971 model. Am I supposed to turn it around? There is a very minimal difference if I do. The other option is just to pry it and jack it into place???? Help!
