I was wondering why my drivers side floor mat had some stains on it. I started poking around under the dash and noticed that gear oil was coming off the fitting where the speedometer cable attaches to the speedometer. My guess is that it's coming all the way from the transmission up the cable. Anybody else have this happen to them?

My car has the factory A/C on it. The A/C still cools, but the compressor has started making noise, so I have not been running it since. It is now starting to get too hot for the "windows down" method of A/C during the day. Are there any cheaper A/C compressors that will work (maybe from other cars)? I think I saw a new one from Victoria British for like $300-$400? Ouch. Any ideas?

I picked up a car a few weeks ago, it ran fine when I got it. I put it up on jackstands and changed the clutch slave cylinder, when i put is on the ground it wouldn't start. The car is a 260 with a 280zxt engine 83 i believe. Using the stock ecu. All it will do is crank, and a slight stumble if I set the accel just off closed. Now what I have checked, I checked the compression (just checking) 120 across the board Plugged in a spark plug and grounded it, and a nice hot spark Setup a fuel pressure gauge, 42lbs When I pulled the plugs they smell a bit like gas You know even if someone has the FSM wiring diagram. I have the FSM for the 260, and have seem to misplaced, my…

(a little background on my zx...It's a 1979 fuel-injected 280zx stock. The car sat for 10 years before I was given it. I took it to a mechanic who replaced the gas tank, fuel pump, radiator, spark plugs, wires and clutch (he cleaned the injectors). I paid 4500 bucks for everything... and now my car won't work. Shitty deal!) I was driving my zx after work. Car was moderately cold and after about 3 minutes of driving the car simply shut off while I was driving. (I was at high rpms while I was driving it. I was screwing around with a friend in a parking lot. Pretty damn stupid thing to do when a car is cold, especially an old car.) I pulled off to the side of the road and tr…

Hey all, I have a 1980 280zx. It is running great sense I put a new fuel pump on it. But it still wants to act up from time to time. I will be driving down the road, and I lose all power in my tact. My rpms just completely drop and the car dies. Now I still have power for my radio, lights and everything else like that. It’s just the rpms that die. I start it back up and it may do it once or twice more, then it runs great. What could be causing this? Like I said, it only happens once and a while. Thanks Steve

I got a 1973 240z. Its been sitting around since the late 80's and rarely droven since then. Been fixed up a few times and driven a little. Its been about 6 yrs now since anyone has touched it and been just left out in the field. Its in overall good shape, not too much rust. Anyway one of the pullys won't move at all. I "think" its the air pump pully? Its the one on the opposite side of the alternator on the bottom. Its the only pully you can actually adjust by loosing bolts. When I decided to push the car into the garage and fix it up, it had no belts at all on there. I got all new belts and put them on there ( I think their correct? anyone know of a website with the di…

Hey Ladies & Gentlemen, i have yet another problem with the 280, the battery seems to keep going flat, sometimes this happens when im driving & i just loose all power and the needles on the speedo & taco just drop, the car still has enough power to play the sterio & the lights & all still work but it does not have enough power to turn over the engine..... also when i drive it most of the dash lights come on & stay on untilll i turn the car off again.... from memory its, CHG, Fuel, Brakes & Doors the logical guess would be the alternator but would this cause all these lights to come on???? this is my every day driver & i have had no problems…
