Ok, when I bought my car there had been a rat living in it, the rat chewed on a number of things. The one thing I need help on is replacing the butterfly clips! So I bought a set of them of ebay when they got to my house my brother and I went down to my car. Then my brother cut the old one's off and now I don't know which clip goes where! Is there anybody that can help me please?

Well i bought my z (1982 280zx turbo) a week ago monday. I know its not quite a classic but i plan on owning it till it is. However i still have questions that i hope can be answered. Now, This is my problem. I bought the car from a friend of mine who changed the starter and the coil but he put parts from his old z non-turbo in it. When i got it the car ran but the catalytic converter was really clogged so it was acting as a governor and not letting me use this car to its potential. (which as a 16 year old kinda ticked me off) However i took it through inspection anyways so i could get the temp tag that comes with just failing emission so i could drive it while i wa…

Hi all; 1)Are there 1 or 2 springs on the advance weights on the dizzy off a '75 260z? Mine only has one. 2)I recently broke my drivers door handle :stupid: I have been told that they could be the same as a Datsun 120Ys( http://www.tidalportal.com/SEADAT/images/usergallery/125.jpg for the americans, because i think you have a diff name for it). Are they? Or does anybody in AUS want to donate one :nervous: Also does anybody have a pic/description on how to remove one form the inside on a 2+2? Thanks in advance!!!

I recently purchased a 1971 z, totally original, and am having some very minor paint work completed (the dime-sized rust spots behind each front wheel in teh fender were the only bad areas! - trying to keep original paint on rest of car, as it is almost 100%). Remainder of paint, under spare tire, floors, etc are all mint. Anyway, the car has the original am radio w/power antenna (and working clock, w/o cracks in dash!), but the original owner put an fm converter behind the pass seat in '72. I am removing this, and making sure the orignal radio works...how many speakers were in an original z, and where were they located? There are two speakers in the rear panels above…

I am interested in building a motor for a 240Z. I have an opportunity at a LD28 crank, but not sure if that is the right way to go. I am just looking for a hot street car that I can hill climb or AutoX on the occasional Z event. Do you think a stoker motor is the way to go? I'd like a motor with a lower power band, say 3000-6000 RPM powerband and good pull in that range. Not wanting to spend $5k on building the motor. Any comments?

guys, im in the middle of a small rebuild...(installing some new toys) and ive got a new clutch..so i took the old one off and found this: it is the larger of the two clutches....im just concerned about the two "rings" and that dark spot... the flywheel looks a little rough too...thats surface rust, but yet again, the "ring" see what im talking about? normal clutch wear after hard driving of 7k miles? i noticed when the car was full up of stuff the clutch would slip a little when i push her to the limit..thats why im gettin the certerforce 2...
