About a month ago I took the head off my car and now I am putting another one back on. The night I took it off, I forgot to put the engine at TC, so I did it today. I am so stupid When I turned the crank (my friend held the chain so it would not fall in) the chain did not move because it fell below the teeth on the crank. Now the bright timing link is in the wrong place at TC. Is there an easy fix??? Please say yes!

I was pulling off my front sway bar and it had seemed to be comming out easy. The front drivers side bolt broke halfway into the frame. I'd like to drill it out and then use a tap and die set to redo the threads. Has anyone had any experiance doing tap and die? I hate rusty hardware!

Problem 72 240Z 1 2 3

I have been looking at this 72 Presimene red 240Z it looks like it has aapx 38,000 miles body is excellent floor pans and frame rails excellent he did go nuts with the undercoating in engine bay he is the original owner. White interior plastic trim discolored. We took of the damper and checked carbs and one was stuck but with a little coaxing we got the piston to move freely and added a some oil to both carbs and the move fine. Problem there must be some type of vapor lock because we can not get gas to the carbs we added 5 gallons to the tank and I would say the car probably has not run in a while. I am pretty excited about this find !!!!! I got the Z fever

Hello It looks like I may need to have my clutch master cylinder sleeved and rebuilt. I am trying to ascertain if the unit that is currently installed in my car is correct/original equipment as supplied by the factory or if it has been replaced with an aftermarket unit.

Is anyone out there able to post pics or a description of the clutch master cylinder that they have installed in there car if they know it is correct/original equipment for a 71 240z. Im not sure if the LHD and RHD markets varied as to what was fact…

My 73 240z takes a while for me to get it to fire up. Once I have started it, it will start again effortlessly. I try to play with the choke and have not been able to figure out why it is so difficult to start. It does not seem to be related to the weather. It has new plugs, new gas filter, new battery. What can I do to figure out this problem? Thanks Zover

I need to know how to test a voltage regulator. If any one knows please let me know. I have been trying to fix my fuel injection system and now thanx to help from people in this forum I think I can but now another problem came up. When I put a charger on my battery what I assume is the voltage regulator is humming, when I put the charger on start the regulator starts buzzing along with my distributor. The other day the engine ground wire that wasn't hooked up fell against my positive coil terminal. It was there for a couple minutes before I noticed it. By that time my battery was dead. So I figure the regulator is now screwed. What I assume is my voltage regulator is on t…

Hey Guys, I have a mostly stock 75' 280Z. Last year I changed my plugs and put in splitfire plugs. Last month i took them out to see how the condition was and i noticed that they were a little fouled. I sandblasted them and put them back in, the car was still running fine. Now a month later the car is idling a little rough, so I decided to check the plugs, when I took them out they were covered in oil. I have not idea what's going on, can anyone help?
