I was driving home one night, and my temp was over all the way, so I pulled over and the back part of my crank pulley was loose from the shaft part of it. The crank was spinning, but the part with my belt to my alternator and water pump was not. Does anyone know how to fix this, can I weld it back on, or if I have to replace it, how do I go about it. Also where can I find another one, mine has air pump, fan, alternator and AC compressor. -thanks

I was reading the how to rebuild nissan/datsun engines and he says that the front bearing has a little hole to feed the chain tensioner, is that only for the 4 cyl. he is working on or does the L28 have that hole too, if it does I might have to take my crankshaft out to see if I put the bearing in the right place:paranoid: I cant find anything about that hole in any books or in the FSM I have!

Was wondering if anyone could give me some advice, thought there would be a few folks on here who might be able to help with an RB30 engine, I have an N/A RB30 (SOHC) and am having trouble with cold starts, when the engine is warm it runs and starts fine, However, when i kick it over for the first time in the day it takes a little while to kick over (cranks fine) but just dosent start, then when it does (after 4-5 goes) it sounds like it wants to die on me, and it idles very eractically for the first couple of mins, For example, The rev's increase, then they decrease and i think the car is going to stall (it dosent, but its sounds like its getting pretty close to stallin…

Okay guys I really need some expert help on my big project.I started out by buying a finished 70 model Z. That turned out to be not as much fun because it didn't need anything so I made up stuff to do to it.Then I bought another 70 model that needed a lot of work.Great,Now I needed parts for it so I bought another Z. It was better than the parts car so I was going to fix up both of them.Now I need another parts car.After several more cars I purchased 000913. I now have more cars than I can use but that don't mean I don't like all of them.My problem now is I wan't to completely restore 913.I have read as many threads and post as I could find and I find so many different wa…

I'm getting ready to reassemble my '80 L28 block. I had the crank ground .010 undersize and ordered bearings to match. However, when I set the crank in the block the middle journal (#4) that has the special bearing for dealing with thrust is so tight that even before I put the caps on, I can't turn the crank by hand. My suspicion is that the thrust surface of the center bearing is also expecting the crank's surface to have been ground .010, and that the crank shop didn't grind that surface. I called the parts house but they were of no use to tell me if the bearing expects the thrust surface to be ground like the main journal surface. And the shop is closed (Saturday).…

Hey Z people! The Crank turns COUNTER CLOCKWISE right? and if thats the case then the timing marks on the crank pully from left to right would be 0,5,10,15,20. So... the timing pointer will hit the left hand mark first (0 degrees). Just to be clear the 0 degree would be in the 8 o-clock position, 5 degrees would be 9 o-clock, 10 would be 10 o-clock and so on and so on. so the pointer would hit the 8 o-clock(0 degree) timing mark first... NOT the 12 o-clock (20 degree) mark. and isn't 17 degrees of advance the recomeneded timing? Rock on Z people!:stupid:

Ones in Motorsport and "British" catalogues go for over $100. Ones on Ebay are rediculously cheap even after shipping. Is quality or design that much different on Ebay ones? Would appreciate any comments on experiences with either Motorsport, etc. or the Ebay ones. Thanks guys, Mark

Hi everybody, I bought a 77 280Z 4 speed with all original equipment two years ago. The only things new are the fuel injectors and new clutch that were installed just before I bought it. The car ran fine the first summer I owned it, then it sat over the winter of 2005 without being started and it didn't have very much gas in the tank. I've tried to start the car numerous times with a new battery since the weather has warmed up, but with no success. She turns really strong, and I put fresh gas in the tank (no dry gas yet) but it still won't start. I even checked the distributor, all is clean and dry, no moisture. I thought maybe the gas lines were frozen because there was…
