Hi, For my '70 240Z... I used an impact to remove the bolt that holds on the AC & Crank pulley. I'm assuming I use the impact wrench to put it back on too. Am I correct? I just don't want to damage anything. :nervous: Thanks, Steve

The passenger door window of my '72 240 won't go down or up. It's stuck about 1/3 of the way up. I took everything off to expose the door shell and found the roller had come out of the bottom guide. After trying for some time to fix this thru the small openings in the steel shell, I was hoping for a better way to do this. No matter what I do, or how I position the window, I can't get the roller back in the window guide Any suggestions, tips, prayers are appreciated. thanks Bill

Hello all, I just picked up a 72 240Z and was wanting to read up more on it. Technical articles on engine swaps (particularily a 280zxt swap), suspension, technical info like engine stats, gearing etc and just general owners rantings. are there any recommended pages to look at (shameless plugging of your own site is recommended ) ? Honestly, this site is a little bit hard to navigate and I can't seem to find any live links to a good tech write up.... Thanks so much in advance all. -Chee

Has anyone done this successfully? Any opinions on whether to do this or not? I had to replace the flare nut for the clutch master cylinder and cut the flare off the tube to get it off. Now when I try to flare it, the flaring tool needs space to get around the tube and the new nut won't go down far enough past a bend to allow the room. A friend had suggested cutting the line further down, flaring it and coupling another piece of line to make up the difference. Not sure if I want to do this, or just buy a whole new line from the clutch hose to the m/c. Thanks for the help Bill

well of course i get the engine all back together and ready to go but... it wont start. ive got spark, my injectors say they are firing, and i have compression. although its weird, the spark plugs are completely clean but smell like gas. everything should be close to time since i took the engine apart and put it back together the way the FSM said to (i.e. putting the correct cam chain links on the timing mark of the crank sprocket and cam sprocket and installing the distributor in that 5 degrees position at TDC) My mechanic gave me a noid light to confirm my injectors are firing and they are. he also gave me a test light to check all my grounds but im not sure how to …

Hi. My name is Stacey. I have 4 Z cars at this moment. My '75 280 has a problem & I can't figure out what the problem is. Can you? #1- A "popping" sound" like a compression sound" in the #4 cylinder when the plugs are removed and #2- A "knock" also out of the #4 cylinder that corresponds with the intake valve cam load after it closes. The compression is equal to the other valves-160. And last but not least how do I look for damage in the spring rocker arm & pivot? If anyone could help me. Contact me ASAP.

Is there something that would cause one or more fuel injectors to be open all the time. Took out all the spark plugs and they are black and soaked with gas. Car runs very rich. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.

1980 280ZX was running fine until it seems like it is getting too much or not enough gas. It's hard to keep running and only goes about 30mph with very stinky exhaust. We decided to clean the fuel injectors with a pressurized can of Echilin from Napa so we unplugged the fuel pump, pinched off the fuel return line and ran it on the can of injector cleaner. Funny thing was that it seemed to run better on the injector cleaner than on gas, but only ran for a few minutes on the can of injector cleaner and it was gone and an unusual amount of white smoke was coming out of the exhaust. When I had used this kind of pressurized cleaner in the past the cars ran for 10-15 minute…
