Clutch is not disengaging

well, i have been trying to get the '77 280Z to work for a while now in my free time (which isnt much because of finals lately, but i digress). current problem: besides an electrical snafu, i have been having problems with the clutch. i originally thought it was just that we had plenty of air in the clutch lines, so after bleeding them (and being able to observe that the slave cylinder is moving nicely after the bleed)... went to fire it up tonight and move it out of the garage (because my dad wants to park in there again). so i turn on the engine, depress the clutch, and attempt to move the shifter into reverse... griiiiiiiiiind of synchros (which are already bad enough …

Broken stud, help...

I was removing the studs from my head. After letting them soak in WD-40 I go to remove them. They all came out except for one. It broke. So I said to my self "here I go again" as I was having flashbacks. So I drilled out the center and proceeded to use the easy out. That broke too. I took out the dremmel tool and cut a slot on the tip of the bolt for the impact screw driver. I ended up breaking the tip off the bit. This bolt does not want to come out. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do next. I tried drilling it out again but a piece of the easy out is stuck in the center (hardened steel) of the broken stud.

The car idles fine pulls hard through all gears but once I reach cursing speed it acts like it is missing. This all started this weekend after I filled up with gas. Could it be a bad tank of gas or what. Thanks Greg

Well my drivers side window broke out today, must have gotten wedged sideways or something, either way I dont car why it broke right now, but I need to know what I can do. Me and my dad were looking at it and it looks like it a fairly straight peice of glass, so I figure we could make a replica out of clear fiberglass or lexan or something. Would this work? Is the original 72 240z window a staraight peice of glass? If not, is there any way to make a cheap fix for it? The car is a peice of crap so I dont care what it looks like, as long as it will keep people out of the car just as well as glass will (aka no scran wrap ) So what should I do? I am in a hugh hurry because t…

260 automatic

I bought a nice 260 off ebay and was originally going to use it as a parts vehicle, but some one said they only made 800 of these cars and body wise it is sweet. Is this correct? This is an early 260 with the thin bumpers and it has the original pan from the radiator strut to the cross member. I have it stripped naked all the way to the unibody and before I do any surgery I'm just curious. I don't care for an automatic, my other is a 4 speed so enlighten me. Thanx
