Looking for the following parts or advise from those that have barked up the tree! I have too much free travel in my clutch to allow me to adjust the clutch. The bolt that holds the pedal in place and creates the fulcrum (p/n 46561-21000) and the sleeve that fits over the bolt (p/n 46582-21000) are nla....trying a work around with a bolt I picked up, but it is still not the proper diameter and causes too much free play. Any advice is appreciated. Sent from my [device_name] using http://Classic Zcar Club mobile

I am not a pro mechanic, I started on this project z ‘75 280z fuel injected. I changed all the gaskets and realized I needed new fuel injectors. I pulled them and changed them. I didnt relieve the pressure by disconnecting the line and letting the pump pump it out. I leaked some fuel and relieved the pressure that way. I replaced everything and put the car back together when i went to turn it on it wouldnt turn on. It cranks and if i give it gas it tries to turn on but wont stay on. I think i have spark. When i have the key in the on position i can hear the fuel pump working. My gas tank currently has under a quarter of gas. And before i change all the spark plugs and wir…

I need some help figuring out whether or not my engine block is cleaned enough for the head to be reinstalled back on the engine block. I tried pretty much what i can to prep the surface of the engine block and just need some help with those who already went through this install. So far i got most of the old gasket gunk off but there are some spots here and there that still remain. I have some acetone ready to use in hopes of removing some of the left over material. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I have located a bumper for Cody's car just outside Eugene but the seller doesn't want to ship. If anyone could help me out and get the bumper and ship it to me, I would cover the shipping and try to compensate for the time it takes. I am pulling stuff together for his 18th birthday presents later this month. Thanks, Charles

Gents, Making progress on my 280z. I am replacing the carpet now but need to prep the floor. A few questions for the experts, I’ve looked over historical threads and see conflicting into. 1. My floor pan are solid with only mild surface rust just around drain holes. I’ve read people removing the sound proofing before installing new sound proofing matting and carpet to make sure there is no rust under the old stuff. Is this necessary? With not visible rust anywhere seems like a lot of extra work. I haven’t found any rust on the car anywhere so far even in the most likely areas. 2, I was going to clean the drain holes with some naval jelly to stop …

I have a re-bodied 240Z. The VIN says it is a 1973. After a couple of years of restoration it is now on the road and shake down has begun. I discovered the right rear strut was leaking so I started looking for replacements. Am I correct that a '73 has a straight axle and if so then what do I have in my car. See pictures A separate but related issue is the from struts. I would like adjustable one there because the nose of the car is sitting too high. I look forward to your help. Harvey

Im new to forum and new to the 240z. Recently purchased a 71 240z bone stock L24. Im upgrading the 60amp alternator and have followed the DIY. Seemed easy and straightforward.

L to 12v source via fusible link white wire and S to b/W (SWITCH 12V) with diode. Diode line faces alternator. Everything good so far. Here is what happens. Tested while running with volt meter battery and read 12.6 (not good) I remove negative cable from battery and it reads 14.5(good) the alternator sounds different meaning regul…

Hello, I started the car the other day, it was hard to start, but it idled fine. Took it for a drive and i saw the amp meter dropping to 8 and oscillating violently as well as the car sputtered and could see the rpm dropping real low. Looked at all the ignition stuff and saw the condenser wire had broken off. I have a parts car and took the condenser form it and it still does the same thing. I am unsure of the condition of the parts car condensor, its been sitting for over 20 years. Parts are not available, i bought a 22 microfarad condenser from another car in hope to see if it works. ANy suggestion?
