Newby here. Got a 78 280Z with no heat. After replacing the heater core, turns out I still need a Mode Door Actuator, called an Assembly-Actuator Vacuum, Part# 27081-N3100 on the fiche. Struck out with the parts guys at Courtesy Nissan of Texas, no longer made & not in stock. Anybody got a line on a new or relatively new part? Any help or thoughts appreciated. Thanks, Ed

Hey guys. After a lengthy search i think i found the 240z for me. Only problem is that its in Arizona and im in Illinois. My work schedule wont allow me to go see the car in person, but from the many pics and talkin to the guy it sounds like its in fine shape and at a great price too. So what i wanted to know is how have you guys transported your z's. what company did you use and how much am i lookin at to get it moved? I already tried dependable auto shippers, but they wont answere the phone or emails. So they seem to be kind of shady. Also the car is non running, i know that makes a difference. I really appreciate the help guys. john

The problem i mainly want to fix is the brake lights.

Hi, I have a high idle prblem on a 1976 280Z EFI. I can screw down the idle screw to about 3/4 of one turn out from closed and it's idling around 1k. Even there if I give it a little gas, it hangs at an higher idle. If the idle screw is 6 turns out from the closed postion (as the FSM suggest), the idle is 2k and hangs a bit on acceleration. The FSM states that "if less than six rotations are required,the throttle valve is opened excessivley or working parts are faulty". What could make that happen & would that cause high idle? I have cleaned the springs at the accelerator linkage, checked the throttle valve switch and checked all my vacum connections with no fix. If …

Basically, when the car starts it sounds like it is only firing on a few cylinders. After a couple of seconds it smooths out and begins to idle. However, the idle is a little rough (slight misfire). The cylinder closest to the firewall has also been knocking intermittently, but only at idle. It seems to be more frequent when the engine is hot. The knock is high up in the engine. The valves were just adjusted. New plugs/wires/cap/rotor. From looking at the plugs it is running rich. My mechanic friend said it sounded like a wrist pin, and would likely be ok. I am less optomistic. I only get about 17 mpg. Could it be fuel related (bad injector)? Spun bearing? An…

Hey, does anyone happen to have diagrams for which bushings go where with this kit ? I know where the front sway bar bushings and so forth go but some of them I haven't removed yet and don't know where they go. I got the master set with the 2 Zs I aquired last year and am installing them on mine but it came with no instructions or well it has 2 sheets of diagrams that show the exact same section of the car and does not show the rest and doesn't list all the parts and where to find them :disappoin. So I emailed the company but it's Saturday now and I'm afraid I won't see a response from them till next week if I'm lucky. I'd like to get the rest installed over the weekend …

Quick question for all of you. I have my whole shell stripped down now its time to remove the engine and drive train. Can i remove these ALL together by supporting them up and removing the mounts? this way I can just slip the new shell on ( IF I CAN EVER FREAKIN FIND ONE) I looked at it as i was removing the exhaust and suspension and all that good stuff, looked like i could but i figured i would ask incase theres something i dont know about. The jacks would be as following: 2 under the engine, 1 under tranny mount and 2 supporting the drive shaft.

I am about to pull my 280zx motor out to put in my 240z. I am not finding the books very helpful that I have. I know there are bolts that hold the drive shaft to the rear end but it looks like on this 280zx the drive shaft just slips over the splined shaft of the transmission, is this correct? I already pulled the trans. support bracket off and again it just looked like the drive shaft slips over a splined shaft of the transmission. thanks for any help.
