When I bought my 280zx, it had a problem, that it would cut off randomly while driving, the tach just shot to zero but you can still hear the engine running. So I thought it was the Ignition module, also note, that the plug that is on the side of the IM if it was unplugged it made no difference to the cars running, it just ran fine until it cut off and it took a while to start up. Today, I got my IM in the mail, I go install it and right away it has a lumpy Idle, I take it out make sure everything was connected properly and still lumpy, I install the old one it takes a while to start but it runs smoother. I put the new one back in and then it still idles lumpy but it star…

I finally got my car on the road, but my rotors are warped. I bought new rotors and pads, but I cannot get my old rotors seperated from the wheel hub assymbly. I have used PC Blaster and wacked it with a large hammer (using wood blocks) and I cannot get them seperated. I have removed the 4 bolts that hold the two together. Has anyone had this problem? What should I do? Do you think I can have them pressed apart? My local dealer said to use a bigger hammer. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Mark

Since there seems to be a lot of electric fuel pump questions being bandied about, I thought I'd add mine to the mix. I have three (count'em, three) electric fuel pumps from various ZX's that all run (i.e. motors run fine when hooked up to to a battery), but don't/won't pump gas. (I figured I'd test them BEFORE installing them, to save myself some grief). Figuring that there must be some crud builtup inside the pumps, or maybe cracked or worn out o-rings, I dissassembled one. The pump itself is an extemely simple design, consisting of a rotor with 5 cylindrical "pellets" and two 2 o-rings. The o-rings looked fine and there was no varnish or crud inside and the check va…

Hello I picked up a 9/70 Z and the previous owner said he put the battery terminals on wrong and fried something? The starter works and that fusible link is fine, I have lights gauges etc. but no spark. It has a magnetic pick up dist. with the numbers D6F4-03 7303 22100 N4301 marked on the side. It has vacuum advance and the wrong timing plate/base? The spark box is mounted on the firewall with HITACHI E12-12A marked on it. It has an 8140 Accel 12v Super stock coil. The previous owner said his brother put it on so I assume it's installed wrong or don’t work? Here are some pic's of them maybe someone can identify them and suggest the correct installation or some t…

I picked up an '83 280ZX non turbo for my nephew. Is the injector wiring color code the same as on an '82? Also, are the turbo injectors the ones with the little nipple on the end of the injector? I'm trying to find out if these injectors are from a turbo or non turbo. Thanks for any info you can give me...

im having troubles keeping charge to my 280. i had the battery and alternator checked. the starter also. whats happening is i have to jump the car. once its started and im just sitting there idleing its fine, but once i drive for a while my battery starts to die as if the alternator isnt helping it. i checked one of the fusible links and it was dry rotted so im guessing the others are too and they all need to be replaced. would that make sence for whats going on? if im right... where can i get the links. or is there a amp fuse i can use and just get rid of the wires? my e-mail is tim_7_2000@yahoo.com any and all info is helpful! thanks

Thoughts....? I recently examined and drove a 78 280z. The body looks nearly perfect - no rust. Seriously - no rust. Not in the fenders, not in the rocker panels, not in the rear deck, not in the frame rails. I noticed slight ripples in each of the doors along the outer most curvature of the door - maybe dings not quite smoothed out before a paint job? Car was repainted about 10 yrs ago. Interior was imaculate except for the obligatory crack in the dash. Everything works! Manual steering, brakes, and auto trans. Engine sounds great and trans operated and felt fine. I noticed that there was not a lot of power on acceleration. A mechanic told me that the auto tr…
