Hi everyone, I've got a 74 260z with an L28 and round top carbs that I've recently restored and rebuilt. The engine is timed and I color tuned the carbs recently,and up until a few days ago everything was running brilliantly. However, on my latest drive the engine started sounding muffled and I suddenly lost power. I figured it was a fuel issue, so I went head and swapped out the fuel filter and checked for fuel pressure and everything was spot on and the engine started nicely. Then on the next drive, same issue. Could it be the valve lashing? Will try to get a video of it later today. Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm trying to find the bullet connectors for the fuel pump to splice in a cutoff mechanism and cannot seem to find them ('78 280z). I looked under the passenger side carpet (behind the seat) and under the seat itself but cannot seem to find any bullet connectors. I attached a couple pictures showing the wires I'm looking at. Picture 1 shows an aerial view of the wires under the carpet (behind the passenger seat). Picture 2 shows what is under the passenger seat. Am I looking in the wrong spot? -chase

Everytime I lift the piston on one carb it gets stuck about an inch up and the only way to get it to come back down is to pull the nozzle down an Inch down? Any ideas

My 78Z has spent the last year on jack stands while I restored the suspension. I've now got it all put back together and am finally ready to get it running. I drained the fuel tank before starting the project. My question is what, if anything, do I need to do to get it running again? Specifically, I was wondering if just refilling the fuel tank with fresh gas and cranking the engine until it starts is OK. I am assuming that there is currently no fuel in any of the fuel supply lines running from the tank all the way up to the engine. Is priming of the fuel pump necessary?

Hi everyone, I'm nearly done with my front suspension. I was able to replace the tie rod ends today. I completely forgot to take photos before I uninstalled everything and I'm stumped.

Hi guys, So something odd started a few days ago. I drove the car to and from zcon this year and it was perfect (about 1200 miles in total) then I get back and of course theres some sort of gremlin that was waiting for me (but luckily it hid for the duration of the trip haha). I was driving today at highway speed (70ish) and the tach jumped from 3.4k to 4 and then later in the drive jumped from 3.4k to 6 (the engine speed didnt budge, just the tach). All of those hops were only for a split second and I've never seen it do that before. I noticed also sitting at highway speed a couple of times I felt the engine power diminish for a split second and then come ba…

So ive been having trouble getting my fuel pump to work when plugged into the wiring harness. So i had to hardwire it straight to the battery with a switch in between. It wasnt a huge priority to fix but i've realized that my fuel gauge doesnt work either so im thinking theres a problem with the back end of the harness. I tested the connectors for the fuel pump that are under the passenger seat and was reading less than half a volt while the car was running. Any suggestions?

I’m having a bit trouble removing my steering rack. I’ve already removed the 4 bolts holding it in and the disconnected the tie rod ends. It’s only stuck on the steering column. Are there bolts holding the steering column to the steering rack? What is a good way to remove the tie rod ends from the steering rack?
