I have an early 71' 240Z, and the windshield(or windscreen, depending where you live) wipers will not work. I s this a common thing? What should I look for, Im not too good with wiring, im a drivetrain and suspension guy, i usually steer clear of wiring so I am not to knowledgable with it. I dont want to have to buy a new motor, unless I have to, so i just need to know what all could go wrong with the whole system. Thanks in advance.

anyone? I saw that gear oil was leaking out of my tranny through the clutch fork hole. I pulled the tranny, and it looks like it's leaking out of a small hole underneath the input shaft (on the cover plate). Why is there a hole there?? It didn't look like it was leaking from the gasket. Anyone have any ideas on what could be the problem?? It wasn't leaking too bad, but leaking none the less. Never torn into a tranny before, so that's why I'm asking.

Hello,im new to this forum,and Z's overall.I just got this 1972 z with L28 engine swap.I have dual SU carburators,and dont know anything at all about carbs.Well,i was driving the car for a week(and was really enjoying it :knockedou ),BUT then it happened to rain in los angeles,and something happened.The car would drive really rough first,then its stopped going over 3k rpms at all.I stopped to check whats up,opened the hood,and saw that one of the carbs is leaking gasoline pretty bad(one thats closer to a driver).When i stepped on the gas,the leaking would stop,but would start again when car is on idle.I tried checking all ignition stuff,plugs look ok,car got new wires,EL …

Well, I got my Z fixed yesterday, the electrical problem. Today, I was pulling into my girlfriend's driveway, when I stopped, the car made a strange noise, like th ebrakes lockingup, which kinda makes sense b/c I kinda stopped quicker than usual...except it wasn't my brakes. When I shut the car off and got out...my Radiator is leaking coolant, at an alarming rate...infact the whole thing drained faster than if I would I have removed the plug....so I put a hose in it, turned it on to see if maybe the plug had come loose or if i could determine the source of the leak...from best that I can tell, the damned thing separated at the bottom, or in some other way ripped open ne…

I need to adjust my valves (I think) on my L24. I have looked on this site at the forums and others also to find out exactly how, but came up short. If anyone can tell me step by step on how to and how much to I will dance at your wedding. On a side note my car runs kinda rough and shaky i think it just needs tuned anyone else have an idea? THanks!

Ok so my Z is coming along well now! after a week of 15hr at college and 35 hours at work, the weekend finally came! I have almost all paint off my car and I finally found car in my bondo ( the root of all EVIL). To make along story short my clutch doesn't work, when you press in on it, with no resistence it goes right to the floor. I tried bleeding it, but i think it just leaks air to much. I bought a new master and slave cylider, I hope that is what i needed. Please inlighten me with your clutch knowledge and tell me if this is the right thing to do or if it is something else. THANKS AGAIN

I was driving home a few minutes ago and i was ona pretty cruddy road (bumpy, potholes) nothing too serious...when I hit a bump and lost all my electrical power... lights, engine, everything dead. All my fuses appear to be ok (although I only had my cell phone as a light) fortunately I was able to pullinto an AC Delco parts shop/repair shop... I need to knwo what possibly caused this so I can salvage my car ASAP...the only reason this is urgent is this happened in a pretty sketchy part of Waco, TX and I fear for my cars safety...as when I was leaving a small crowd was watching me from in front a seedy hourly rate motel... anyway, any pointers on the little info I have …
