Hi people! Am not much on here but when i do it’s because I have a problem.... I have a 76 280Z and just finished changing the thermostat (after drilling out the housing because a bolt broke in the housing but that’s a problem I solved but here's one I can’t figure out. After washing the motor and engine bay it started up fine and drove around the block to make sure the Thermostat housing didn’t leak then I parked it for one week and know I go to start the motor and starts fine but seems like its getting to much fuel and blows black smoke out and hesitates....If it wasn’t fuel inj. I would say it has a choke problem but, get a load of this! I looked at the Ma…

This is my first oil change since getting the car (took it to a Z Shop for the first one) and my Haynes manual is still on order.. and it's been a long time since I changed the oil on my '78 back in High School... I'm heading to the store on the way home from work and, ummm... (sigh) How much oil? 6 quarts?

I'm looking into buying a Z that i found very cheap ($600). The car is in Houston, TX and i live in Austin. I'm new to Z's, but i've been following them around and I completely love them. I've been looking for a good cheap one and this may be it, but i need your expertise because i have none. I'm a highschool student and love Z's and mechanics, but have very little experience (though i plan to work on it -- project car) The car is a 79 280z (or 78... dunno if 280z's were still made in 79) and in fairly good shape. The car has recently upholstered seats, untorn headliner, nice Z wheels, rebuilt l28 and dual webbers. The car runs (that's all I know) and has a nice body. Ho…

Hey Guys, I know this aint about a Z, but I still need your help on it. At least its still a nissan! My daily driver 1995 hardbody 4x4, 4cyl, 5 speed has the following issue: since yesterday, when I stop at a redlight, my truck dies. Not just cuts off, but drops revs and feels like it does when you accidentally leave it in gear without mashing on the clutch. But not every time. Also, it runs perfectly, going down the road. NO skips, sputters, or the like, its still strong (relatively...it is a KA after all ). If it doesn't die at the redlight, you can watch the tach, and the revs will drop from about 1k (normal idle) to around 750-800, and the truck feels like i…

Hello to all! I am working on an 83 280ZX that was running fine for a month and suddenly went to flooding out one day when the owner tried to start it. The owner said it was great until this happened. I have had the entire fuel injection system off and sent out the injectors for service, all new hoses, fuel filter and great fuel pressure. I did all this prior to the problem. It came to me originally as a no start. That turned out to be poor grounds to the body and the alt not putting out good volts after start. Now all the fuel injectors flow all the time the key is on. If I unplug them they stop, (they all ohm good) I found some corrosion in the ECM from a windshield lea…

G'Day you lot, I asked this question about a year ago and, while I got quite a few replies, nobody could answer the question at the time. As we have since gained quite a few new members, (and sadly LOST a few old ones), I thought I'd put the question again. Now, down here in the real God's country, the clear plastic doohicky that goes onto the car door to keep out the wind and rain, allowing the window to be partly down whilst driving, is called a WEATHERSHIELD. I would dearly love to fit them to my "Precious" but can't find a marque that has one to fit. Has anyone solved this problem ???????? Rick. :devious: :devious:
