Hi. I've got a '76 280Z and am having a bit of trouble. The problem started after I changed out an injector last weekend because it was leaking fuel. Now the car is flooding. I'm talking serious leakage...I pulled the PCV valve out today after the car sat for a week and almost a pint of fluid fell to the floor. After letting that dry out, I installed new spark plugs and car started/ran just fine. That is until I got on it-in which case it spluttered and died again (still flooding out, but only when RPM's are high.) I checked the fuel pressure regulator and it is not pouring fluid as far as I can tell. Is there something else that might be dumping fuel into the int…

Hello, I am a new owner to a 3/74 260Z and I purchased the car on eBay from Tuscon and had it shipped to me, sight unseen. I recieved the car and on the way home it dies a couple of times. Checked for spark and no spark. :disappoin It seemed as if the coil was getting hot - replaced coil. Continues to run for a few minutes and then continues to die........ same symtoms as before. The car will restart after a few minutes of sitting. Then you can drive it a couple of more miles and it dies again. Check for spark and no spark. I located the ignition module and it obvious it's been replaced (plug cut of and module hardwired into the harness. I am pretty much at a loss ri…

I am trying my "help" post in this forum as well: I am hoping to find a copy of a 1971 240Z owner's manual. A .pdf scan would be great but ,literally, if someone is willing to make a copy and mail / fax the bugger to me I'll be eternally grateful. I am still trying to figure out which fuses control what in the car... can't find a copy of this info anywhere. The local Nissan dealership stands in front of my car and says "Wow, cool. What is it?" Well, they're not that bad, but... Thanks Kevin

its been 24hours sence.......i'm about to go crazy and I don't want to spend the $$ on a locksmith. I've tried the coathanger for hours. I've tried many different keys. Nail file. I would go buy a slim jim but if I can't get it with a coat hanger would a slim jim make a difference? Any other suggestions are very much appreciated!

Hey guys. I have dealt with this since i finished the car, but i think its time i fix it. That little blue indicator light stays on no matter how many times i click the hi beams. Also i noticed that the only light that seems to switch is the drivers side one. The passenger light just stays in low beam. Also when both lights are in low beam the right one is a little brighter. All your ideas are welcome! thanks guys

Hey guys its been awhile since i have posted on here so here is a little update. The motor that took me so long to rebuild is finally done. Acctually, i have almost 2,000 miles on it! So anyways. It seems to idle pretty high (950ish) and when i blip the throttle in neutral it just dies when it goes to settle back to idle. It sputters then just dies. What in the world could be causing this? Sometimes instead of dieing the idle goes reallllly low then it takes a second for the motor to catch back up. Its very odd. thanks in advance guys

I bought this engine on eBay a few months ago. It was pulled from a wrecked 280z in 1980 before the first oil change and never used again. The guy that sold it to me said that it was out of a 1979 but now I'm not sure. The engine has the BCDD on the bottom of the intake and not on the throttle body. I looked on Carfiche.com it doesn't show the BCDD on the intake until 1980? I really don't care what year it is I just want to buy a service manual and I'm not sure what year I need. If anyone can pinpoint the year I would appreciate it. :laugh: http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=14002&cat=500&page=1 See my gallery for other pics Thanks EZ

Hi Guys, bit of a problem with my carbies , both have been professionally rebuilt, the front is fine, the rear developes a leak after about 60 seconds at idle??. No leak at startup (cranking) its just as you think everything is ok.....petrol starts coming out of the balance / equalizer port on the rear carby? Maybe (cars been off the road for 4 years) the needle is being blocked (stuck open) by sediment / crap? Have tried clearing the needle , worked fine for about 40-60 secs and then the leak reappeared! Any ideas?? Cheers
