hi! I'm new to this forum. I own 2 1975 datsun 260z one registered and the other not. What i was wondering was dose anyone out their know of any restoration places? What i was thinking was ALL rust removed bear metal re-spray, new interior and either get the origional engine and gearbox etc reconditioned or go for a RB20DET conversion. Any advice on all the above would be helpful. PS. I'm based in perth western australia i would also like to get an idea of how many other 240's and 260's are driving arond in perth and other states? thanks your help and advise will be muchly appreciated.

I have a 2/1982 280zx. I'm not getting any power to the power windows. I have a Haynes manual and it shows a relay/fuse over by the fuse box in the passenger kick panel. And I can not seem to find it. All the fuse in the fuse box are good and power is passing through all of them. Does anyone have any suggestions or knows how to fix it I would greatly appriciate any advice I can find.

I did a compression test yesterday on my 240z and it was this: #1 - 180 #2 - 177 #3 - 180 #4 - 183 #5 - 180 #6 - 184 The #3 cylinder compression came up slowly (over 10 revolutions) compared to the other 5 cylinders. When the car is running I can pull the boot off the plug of cylinder #3 and there is no rpm change as there is with with the other 5 cylinders. The engine does not run smooth but it is not irratic either; the engine also runs well under acceleration. I am also getting a spark from the boot to the plug on cylinder #3. Do I need to check the timing? I don't understand why the compression is good across the board but it seems like the plug in cylinder #3 i…

What are these? My father-in-law gave me this car(73 240z). He unfortunately sustained a brain injury and can not tell me anything about the car. He put a dual webber carb on and now there are three hoses hanging off of the engine. I assume they used to connect with the old are filter. All three have similar connectors. Can anyone help me out. Should I connect them to something? Should I plug them? I tried to attach pictures of what I am talking about. Also does anyone know how much increase in horsepower dual webbers add to a stock 1973 240z. Thanks FLO

Ok, I'm tearing down an engine and I can not get the bolt that holds the cam sproket off. I have tried just my socket wrench and my impact wrench and still no luck. How do I get this bolt off!? :cross-eye

When I press the brakes in I hear air. The brakes are not working good at all. I try to stop and it just slowly stops. Even when Im not driving I still hear the air noise when I press the break. I had to punch on the brake to avoid rear ending this arse who cut me off and now they are not working properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I FINALLY got my 260Z on the road... what a feeling! I bought a rebuild kit for the round tops from ZTherapy & followed the video on installing the stuff... adjusted the carbs and ran her through emissions just for grins & chuckles. I passed 3 of the 4 tests with flying colors, and with the emissions stuff removed or disabled. The 4th test, HC at idle, is still pretty high but the guy at the testing station said to recheck timing & idle setting. I'm taking the lady to a local mechanic who is well known for his talents at getting Zs to pass emissions; I'm letting an expert take over at this point so I won't waste $$ paying for testing until I get it right. …
