Just bought a 1981 Turbo 280Z. It was running but missing. Now we are not getting any spark at all. Tried a good coil with no success. We were told by a mechanic that it could be the pick up coil, which we can't find, or possible the crank angle sensor. Any sugggestions would be appreciated.

I tried jumping the power window motor with a fused wire from the battery to both up/down wires going to it but no go. It's just 2 wires so should I ground one and put hot to the other? I have power going in/out of the switch so I'm stuck here. It's for a Z32 I just bought to drive while I do more work on the 1977. Thanks

A few months ago I purchased a 1975 280Z. I'm planning on pulling the engine in a few weeks and I have noticed the standard hoisting brackets are not mounted to the engine. Are there any alternative aftermarted brackets that would work well? Is there another way to support the engine when hoisting? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have had my 72 since October. It has never made any wierd noises, but now it clicks in the rear end area. It only clicks while driving and seems to be more speed dependant. Even when rolling to s stop, you can hear it click ever so slowly. I'm certain it is coming from the back end of the car, and pretty sure it's not the brakes. The ride hasn't changed either. Any ideas? I need to get the rear of the car in the air and try to spin the wheels and listen or something. It's driving me nuts! Thanks, Brian S.

Yesterday i took my friend allan out for alitle ride to listen to this noise my car is making, the question is about the noise...but i also have alittle story for you. Well anyway i'll start with the noise, it's a clinking noise that happens in 2nd gear around 3000 rpms and in 3rd gear around 3000 rpms it sounds like metal hitting metal, not hard but hard enough to make a noise i talked to one guy on zcar.com and he said he had a problem that sounds like mine and it was his exhaust liner and he had to take apart the exhaust manifold...anybody else ever had a problem like this??....oh and anyway back to the rest of the story i took him for a ride to foothill highschool abo…

Hi guys, its taken me almost four years to get my z to the stage where its drivable again....and now the only thing stopping me is the passenger side front brake! I've bled and bled and bled the brakes, I have almost no pressure in the brake pedal until I clamp off the flexible hose to that front passenger caliper and voila! Pressure!....Yep, so there's air in the line somewhere. Both front calipers are rebuilt replacements from my local Z dealer, when I was pulling my hair out today I noticed that on the drivers side, the bleed nipple was on the top of the caliper, but the passenger side nipple was on the bottom???? Now does this mean tha…

Hey-- I'm hoping someone can give me some advice. I'm looking for a '70, '71, or '72 240 in original condition. I've been checking the usual publications and web sites for about three months without finding anything decent that I can afford. Any thoughts? Thanks. Jack

Hey all, My car while drive it at highway speed started hesitating while the amp meter and tach started fluctuating (It did this a couple weeks ago on the highway but didn't do it again until today). While this was intermittent, it finally caused my car to stall. It cranked right back up, ran fine, and then did it again a minute later. Being close to my house, I pulled in and let it sit while I checked connections. After about ten minutes it started right up and idled fine. I then turned on my lights and hazards and it died again. It did not want to fire immediately after that. I checked the battery and it wasn't drained at all(12.8). The alternator is recieving corre…

Under the recomendation of the local hot rod mechanic I took my 240 out and ran the you know what out of it. This was to clear some of the dirt I had sucked out of the tank and into the carb. I parked for a bit and when I came back the starter wouldn't even flinch. I popped the hood an saw my battery out of the tray and across some wires by the starter. I got lucky enough to get the starter working again but have 2 wires still unconnected. One from the firewall (which is a red wire) close to the battery and the other looks very similar to the wire that was off the starter (black with yellow stripe). I have 2 pics on my yahoo photo page http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/…
