Hey party people, ok problem # 968 :cross-eye I have an L24 with an E-88 head that has been totally re-built. I just adjusted the valves and I have the timeing down and i have the carbs synced and all my plugs look nice and brown except for #2! #2 is black and sooty. I checked for spark and its plenty strong the only thing that I can think of is that the intake valve is set wrong, but how can that be? 10 thousand's hot right!? that's what all the other intake valves are set at and the plugs are "golden brown". Could there be something wrong with the valve. allright people hook me up with your Z car wisdom. Matt-

The Pioneer radio that came in my 260Z is basically held in place by the console. I'm sure there's supposed to be a bracket in there, as I saw mention of someone looking for one for THEIR 260Z. I'm hoping to talk hubby into going salvage yard hopping today. Any idea of what years of Zs would have a bracket that fits a 1/74 production date 260?

Well, I just learned a very important lesson, and I guess it will prove to be a very costly one too. I was installing my new water pump, and decided that the original bolts looked ok. Wrong! I guess years of heating up and cooling down created some small cracks in one of them. Just now one of the bolts (one of the LONG ones, the one at the 10 o'clock position looking from the front) had its tip break off in the front cover under about 5 ft-lbs of torque. Just about the last 1/4" of it I would estimate. Anyone have any ideas as to how to get this out? It's not easily accessible since it is about 2-2.5" back in the hole where the threads start. I really want to avoid takin…

I just had to get a new radiator in a hurry. got it from radiators.com I have a 75 280z 4spd The radiator has 2 small nipples at the bottom towards the center on the side facing the engine. I don't recall my old radiator had these, (it is still at the shop that said they wouldn't bother fixing it,) Are these for lines for an auto tranny and need to be plugged or do I just need to fumble around a while longer to figure out where they go?

This afternoon I took the zed for a bit of a blat down a nice straight empty road in the middle of nowhere. Went quite nicely up through 2nd gear, then 3rd, 4th, then just after hitting 5th at about 160km/h I see car in the distance, so hard on the brakes back down to 80km/h or so. Now when I got back on the accelerator the engine was loosing power, sort of pulsing on-off-on-off a few times a second much like when it's not getting fuel with vapour lock problems. Over the next few k's it seemed to go away, till I got home and found it wouldn't idle anymore. It'd drop to about 500rpm and splutter away. While driving it still feels ok, but sounds pretty sick/lumpy at idle. I…

Hi guys, problem #967! Here it is ... I just tuned my 72 240 su's with the ztherapy video, and wow what a differance. It ran perfect, for 2 day's:cry: . For what ever reason it started ideling really rough, I tryed adjusting the carbs but nothing I did helped. It seemed like it was an electrical problem so I check my plugs they were all brown except for the #2 plug it was sutty, so I assume that its rich or the plug wasnt fireing. So just to make sure I replace the plugs, and it still ran like crap! So I check the wire ( I held the plug to the block), it works. Now here is where it gets weird, It runs great when I get on the gas:ermm: It drives great (as far as …
