Out of the blue my two z eyeballs quit working. I checked the fuse box and all seems well. I checked the 2 headlamps themselves and they show no indication of being blown, but that's just an asumption. Also, my right, front amber side light appears to have gone out at about the same time since I always make sure ALL of my lights are working. Any suggestions on where to begin troubleshooting? Thanks.

Last night I was driving my 240Z from my sweetheart's place to my uncle's house. I had about a mile to go when the radiator decided to spring a leak ...looks like the seam along the top tank above the fan shroud. Anyone have any good leads on where I might find a suitable replacement? Anyone had good luck with having a radiator repaired? The 240Z isn't my daily driver, but I plan to get it back on the road as soon as I can. Kenny P.

Well if you're reading this after seeing the title I guess you either have done this or you're looking for a good laugh at my expense, or maybe both! I pulled the air gallery out of my exhaust manifold several weeks ago and used the 'wax and propane torch' method some have written about to losen up the fittings(this is on the bench mind you, NOT with the manifold on the head). Unfortunately I couldnt get all the wax off the outside of the manifold :disappoin , the roughness of the casting just let it grab on like im sure you can imagine. I figured i would just let it melt or burn off when i ran the motor. Fast forward to tonight, I finally cranked the motor after a lon…

Well, its a long story but apparently its looking like I may enherit this 260Z that has been sitting in our barn for 20 years. I guess I'm wondering what I might be in for if i decide to bring this thing back to life. The body looks great almost as if it just needs a bath and would be shiny again. It has a 3 Weber setup alloy rims and a wing in the back . Its actually a pretty sharp looking car. The problems are the exhaust system is rusted out and the tires are flat. the drivers floor is rusted through and mice have been living in the glove box, and I'm not sure if there is a key to the car yet. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on getting the engine started agai…

I finally got my car on the road this week end. It's a 71 240Z for those of you who don't know me yet. When I make a right hand turn I get a rattle noise from the rear end. It is pretty loud and sounds as if something is touching the drive shaft while it is spinning. It doesn't do this on a left hand turn. It doesn't matter if I am on the gas or not. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

My 70 with Pertronix unit installed died yesterday. Was sitting at a light. It was not holding an idle. Had to keep feeding it gas. Then it just started loosing power and died. Couldn't get it started again. It seems to have a very weak spark. I was thinking the Pertronix might have fried. Is there anyway to test it??? TIA, Marty

I am the recent proud second owner of a metallic blue 73 240z. I am amazed at how complete this car is. I live in Kansas and while this car is not going to be a daily driver, I still want Airconditoning. I plan on buying the compressor upgrade kit from MSA. Before I can upgrade the airconditioner I have to fix a problem with the vents. When I have the heater controls set to vent and turn the fan switch to low all is well. Air blows out of each vent in the same volume. When I switch the fan to medium the air blows out the same for an instant, I hear a muted clicking noise and then all of the air is blowing out of the right vent. While my passenger might really app…

I have a 79 5 speed and it is hard to shift into 2nd gear and also it would come out of 5th gear if you let off the accelerator. I was driving down the highway and the shifter was in 5th gear but the engine would just free rev like the clutch was disengaged. All the other gears are still the same and it doesnt grind or anything, what could be the problem and is it still OK to drive on?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

My 76 z was running ok when I bought it 5 months ago but since then it started acting weired. At first the car will start then when it warm up and I shut it off for 15min then the car will be hard to start and sometime it wont start. The car is stock. I changed the ignition wires and coil but it still the same. I checks for fuels and sparks their both ok. I didn't change the spark plug but I think it still ok. Any suggestion?
