hello, i posted before about a problem with my 1972 datsun 240z and so far it has not been solved. The car ran a year ago however she doesnt run now. It recieves plenty of fuel and what seems to be good spark. The engine will crank and then backfire unbelievably loud. I have replaced the distributor cap, rotar, plugs, and wires. I thought maybe the distributor rotar was 180* off but i couldnt get it to go on the other way leading me to believe thats not the problem. I regapped the points and rechecked the firing order and everything seems correct.. someone plz help me! =)

Hello, im having a serious problem trying to get my 1972 datsun 240z started. All the plugs are recieving a spark and fuel is reaching the carbs without any problem. The engine will just turn over until it lets out a massive backfire in which it actually blew my muffler in two, however, it only does this occasionally. Does anyone know what the problem may be?

I've heard you guys talk about the floor pan repalcements from Zed Findings. Two questions, 1). Can you order 1 side instead of entire kit, 2) Do they come with seat mounts or do I cut my old ones out and use again. Thanks

Hi guys, something thats starting to bug me, I have a reconditioned 5 speed close ratio gearbox, as soon as I get to about 2500rpm a high pitch whine starts up. If I back off and the revs drop below 2500 no more whine , rev back up and the whine returns. If I hold the gearstick the whine changes pitch so Im thinking vibration? But why and how to get rid of it? cheers

Hi all, DISCLAIMER: I'm a newbie to the forums so if I break any forum rules, it is purely by accident. Some background... I am the proud owner of a 1970 240z. It was one of the 500 built in 1969 (202nd built, hence my nick.) I bought this car a year and a half ago and it was in good, but not excellent condition. The previous owner had the entire engine rebuilt and detailed, the body repainted (very poor job), and the interior was in really worn condition. On to the real story... Yesterday, I pulled up to a stop sign when the SUV in front of me put it in reverse and crushed my right front and damaged my right front fender, front bumper, hood, and my radiator. I'm sure his…

Hey, folks. My 260's choke lever is loose...the loop on the end of the cable will occasionally 'click' out of the keepers(which look like small blocks of aluminum) on the lever, and I can't open the choke back up as a result. I know there's a way to tighten this, but I can't seem to get at the underside of the console to do it. Any ideas?

i'm trying to attach pics to my post but they won't upload.i know there's a size limit. the pics are 1600x1200 pixels(.169KB) and1224x816pixels (.478KB).i downloaded pisas2 and i tells me these are jpeg. i browse,locate file and hit upload. the manage box tells me this may take some time,i wait and suddenly the manage box goes blank, doesn't notify me that file is done or if file is too big or anything. the file i'm trying to upload has 6 or 7 pictures in it,probably too big. i tried to do 1 pic from this file and get same results.thanks in advance.

Hi all, Hope you can give me some insights. I've just replaced the clutch and bled the system, drained and refilled the tranny oil, and bled the brake system. I can move the shifter in all gears okay with engine off. However, when the engine is running, I can't shift into any gears, no matter how hard I tried. I have attempted to decrease the clutch/shift fork gap but all that does is firm up the pedal travel and the problem remains. With the engine off, I can shift into 1st gear, start the engine, slowly release the clutch pedal and the car will move forward. However, I just can't shift to any other gears while the engine is turning. I do hope the problem is not the sync…
