We are wrapping up the 5 spd swap to my 78. After my friend installed the pedals we saw that the pedal is really close to the firewall. Is this normal b/c it seems that the master cylinder is short even being adjusted out all the way

OK everybody, Some of you may have seen the recent thread about "two Z's in the desert going cheap." Well I bought one of them for $250 and from the photos it looked like a steal. But I just found out that the car may be worse off than the auction and photos led me to believe. My question is, before I make the 2300 mile round trip trek do you guys think a $250.00 supposedly fairly straight and for the most part not rotted out 1972 240Z worth it? As far as I know it has a clear title and is fairly complete, someone stole some stuff out of the dash and threw a rock through the windshield. And I guess there is some damage to the front valance and grill. Interior is shot but …

I am in the process of having my interior redone. After taking off the rear right interior panel, I found that the fuel vapor tank didn't fit correctly . After further scrutiny, I found the tank is a replacement tank from a newer model Z. So, I need to find a good used plastic fuel vapor tank for my early model 70 Z. I have no junkyards to check here in Phoenix with Zs, so am trying to see if anyone has one lying around. Anyone have one out there they would sell?

Having some serious problems with the fit of the aftermarket left front fender on my '72 240. Does anyone have a good used original one from a 240, 260 or 280 they would be willing to sell to me for a reasonable price? I would only be interested in a factory original and not an aftermarket fender. Thanks!

I checked the oil in my car the other day and found out that there is gas in the oil and the oil is very thin:mad: . I have a fuel injected Z and just rebuilt it 2000 miles ago. What would cause this and should I change the bearings again. I am leaning towards the injectors but need to know if I have to take the engine out again:paranoid: HELP

I just got a 1979 280zx, the body is really great but the right fender is junk... plus i am looking for the whole inside. like seats, dash, and molding. I am also wondering if the 1979 ever came out with a double sun roof. Mine has one and i am thinking it is an after market, but unsure. I haven’t done my reading on it yet. any help would be great. Thanks Travis

After dissasembling and reassembling my fuel injection system ( for cleaning and replacing 1 fuel injector) i couldnt get it started. So i rechecked ALL of my connections and vaccum hoses. I cranked it for like 5-10 mins overall now but still nuthin! I checked the lines for gas and its definantly getting clean healthy gas, but i pulled the plugs to see if there was any fuel on em and only 1 cylinder looked wet. I would think after this much cranking and flooding of the engine there would be some gas on the plugsbut nooo... Anyways i went back and checked my connections for lets see... the 6th time? and everything seems good to go.. is there something im missing? what s…

Alright, i have the How to Rebuild your Nissan/Datsun book and im following the directions it says to properly time your oilpump/distributor. Well anyway, when i have the engine at TDC and the oil shaft at 11:25 with the offset on the face of the motor... the actual distributor arm is facing the wrong direction. Instead of facing the number one point on the distributor, its just past the #6 point going towards 2. Is there something that i may have messed up? I even tried lining the shaft so that when the engine is TDC the distributor is facing the number 1 point.

On my way back to the junk yard with tools to pull a 5-speed from an 6/81 built ZX, the rear end has drive axles that bolt directly to the "pumkin", I thought they all still had flanges and bolts at both ends, did I dream this? Does it mean anything or is it just an R200 that was stock on all cars? Thought about pulling it also for the lower gearing but they want "extra" money for the independent rear end and even more for the axles. Mike

I am trying to get my spedometer gauge out of my dash. All other gauges were pretty simple. The spedometer has really kicked my arse. I now have everything un-plugged but the cable that runs to the tacometer. How does that come off? Of course I will be asking for advise this weekend on how to put all of these gauges bak in. Thanks
