Good afternoon guys, im looking for a little help on my 72 240 l24. So in the mornings first time starting it takes awhile for it to crank and start up. sometimes i’ll have to let it crank for quite some time then let off then try again with my foot on gas and it’ll start up. once the car is warmed up i can shut it off and start it right back up like 30min later. it has newer plugs ,wires and distributor cap. There’s fuel in the fuel filter every time in my engine bay, it has an electric fuel pump as well. Another issue is that sometimes i have to turn my key over multiple times for it to actually register and try to crank. i’m guessing that is ignition swit…

While taking the gas tank off our 260z 2+2, 4/74 build date, I noticed a bracket that is not currently used. I looked through the FSM and didnt see this. Can someone tell me what this was for originally?

Hello, I have a 280z I'm putting together. It has a L28 with a rebuilt 260z E88 head, I'm in need of aquiring parts like the intake manifold etc to get it running again. My question is will I be able to pass smog with this head and all the proper smog equipment? I'm based in California.

Today i fried one 15 amp fuse which is plugged in a fuse holder of the parking light harness built by dave irwin and installed in my engine. It came out melted because i removed a 15 amp i had plugged on the instrument fuse holder at the fuse box. I believe this damaged the ammeter of the car. I checked all connections and did not find anything broken. My question is: could the short damage the ammeter? My fuel gauge does work. Can this be fixed and how?

Hello, Over this past summer I got my first '72 240z. One of the first projects I took on was refurbishing the dashboard. After taking it out and putting it back in I was able to get all of the gauges working except for the speedometer (and thus the odometer). I have been trying to screw the cable into the back of the speedometer but every time I try it gets about half way and then won't thread anymore so the cable is not all the way in. I have attached a picture for reference. Could this be an alignment issue with the cable? Has anyone had this problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. IMG-1983.pdf

I am in the middle of having my 5 speed rebuilt and ran into a major issue. The shop tells me I can't move forward without replacing the 1st gear bushing (PN: 32253-14600), which turns out to be NLA. Not only is the original NLA, the supersessions seem to be as well. If anyone (who isn't a scammer) wants to sell me one, please send me a direct message. If anyone knows of an alternate part that isn't in the supersession list, please let me know! Supersession Part Number: 32253-14611 Replaces: 32253-14600, 32253-14601

Hey guys, a little backstory first, I had been hearing some ticking coming from the engine bay so I adjusted my valve lash. As I was doing my lash and turning the engine over by hand, I noticed a pretty bad clunk or click coming from my timing chain. I thought it might be the tensioner but not really sure how to check that. I tried checking if my chain had stretched but I'm having a little difficulty. Anyone know what's causing this noise? I put a video below in case that helps anyone. IMG_1244.mov Thanks in advance.

So, after about a month's break, we are back out in the garage working on our 260Z. Put on the new water pump and everything went swimmingly — until this long, skinny bolt snapped ALL THE WAY DOWN INSIDE as I tightened it. How the hell am I gonna get the broken piece out of there, so deep inside the block? UGH!!!!!!!!

OK, I know I am probably missing something simple, but I was trying to remove the center console (1971 240Z, 12/70 build) in order to disconnect the shifter. I removed the 2 flat head screws from the rear of the console, the one screw in the coin scoop tray and the two pan head screws that secure the fuse panel. Removed the TINY set screw that holds the choke ever on and the console is loose, but I cannot figure out how to slide it past the fuse panel. There seems to be a metal strap that spans the width of the console (under the fuse panel) that the fuse panel cannot slide over the top of without interfering with the sloped back of the console. I just realized I pr…
