If you live in Austin or close I would like to know if you have a car trailer that I may use to get a Z. Towing it is no problem, I just don't own a trailer and am trying not to rent one if I can avoid it.

I just noticed that the rear fiberglass bumper on my 78' 280z rests(in contact with) on the tail pipe of the stock muffler. I haven't driven it much yet but will this cause any warping or cracking? I know paint blemishes in the area are inevitable.

I changed the oil & fuel filter and day later, the car smokes like crazy. The car didn't smoke at all before. Dirty smoke comes pouring out of the exhaust. I also filled the tank up with 94 octane fuel. The car has been sitting for about 9 months but before it was parked, there was no smoke. The smoke won't stop pouring out until I cut the engine off. I hope the gas I put in didn't foul my system up........Could it be the fuel I put in the tank? Seals? Sensors?:tapemouth

Everything was great, loving the new Z, but I ran into a little problem tonight. It seems my headlights have just stopped working. They were on one second and just turned off. Its both of them, not one. Everything else works, parking lights, blinkers, etc. I thought it could be the fuse, but each light is fused seperatly (I think), so that doesn't make sense...same with it being the bulbs, they wouldn't die at the same time. I guess the most likely thing would be the switch then? Anyone have any advice on how to fix this? Is there a simple way for me to test if it is actually the switch? Some contacts I could short to bypass it or something? Thanks for any advice...I'd li…

There ought to be a law against mutalating a Z. Some people just dont know when to stop going to Pep Boys. Here is another example of a hideous Z for sale on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2410547796&category=6187 Attached is a quick snap shot.

I have two questions on the early Z, pre '74. Does anyone know if there is some sort of adjustment for the rear hatch? Mine does not close evenly, i.e.: not flush with the body on the left rear corner. The right is fine. Second question. Is the tail light assembly a single part or multi-part? I need to replace the chrome horizontal separator between the upper and lower lenses. Or must I replace the entire assembly? Thanks for any advice...Bob

Help My 1973 240Z has the following problems 1. It appears that my clutch master cylinder is leaking/blowing fluid around the reservoir cap seals. I have lost all pressure for the clutch. I have ordered a replacement cap for the reservoir and I am not really sure if that is the fix. Any ideas??? 2. What is the correct tire size to replace the original tires on my Z. Originals are 175 SR 14. Is this size the same as 175 – SR70 – 14. :stupid: Thanks in advance Alordzot

I finally got my Z running again due to a disconnected wire. I changed the oil & went to the gas station yesterday and filled her up with 94 oct. The highest grade that the station offered. I heard that you should use 92 oct but I used the higher oct instead. I think the gas is dirty. I haven't changed the fuel filter yet...Anyway, I drove her about 2 miles and came home to park her. She wasn't picking up like she should but the RPM was moving up & she was sounding like a tornado storm......FAN...about 2000 rpm. When I got home I didn't have the oil dipstick on. I started her up and she struggled to idle around 800 rpm. The fumes were very strong. She c…

Last night was my B'day so a few us met up for a feed. We headed up to the north shore and all was fine until the heavens opened up and flooded the streets. It stopped raining so we thought we'd make a run for it. After everyone went off in their own directions I was left with two other cars heading south with me. It decides to rain again. So here's me driving with very very low visibility. Every so often a huge puddle greets me and gives the underbody a good wash. We went through this one puddle where all of our cars nearly suffocated and died in the middle of the road so we gave up and pulled into a service station. What I saw under full lights got me worried. The cent…
