So i've been restoring my brakes and got to the point of reinstalling and checking it all. I went to check the Push rod length and adjust it for proper travel... and it seems like I have a real ways to go, Here is an image of how it sits now, but from other images I've seen it looks like its way too short. By my measurements the tip of the push rod at rest wants to be .368" out from the mating surface Currently it sits at .187" inboard of the mating surface. (picture shows it slightly pulled out so you can see the tip) So i'm missing .555". seems like maybe I have the wrong cap on the pushrod. Wondering how this happened or what has gone wrong. I …

Ok, hoping to get some more advice on my water pump replacement. Had no issues getting the bolts out, there were torqued on very lightly. Got everything back on today, put prestone in , and it started leaking right away. It was leaking from a bolt not tightened enough, one of short bolts, lower right as you face the pump from the front. Pulled the pulley off again (left the radiator in this time) and went to tighten the bolt further. It goes in a ways, but then just rotates, like the hole is stripped? Must have been this way before I pulled it out, cause I didnt strip it going in, or cross thread it. I tried loosening all the other bolts again,and moving t…

I need to replace a leaking water pump. I also took the radiator out for better access and to get it re-cored at this time. I havent yet gotten to the pump, hope the bolts there are easy to remove, but right now Im just trying to loosen the nuts that hold the fan and fan clutch to the pulley.You can see the nuts in the accompanying pic. The problem is the pulley rotates while I'm trying to get some traction on those nuts and it will just spin. I put the fan belt back , thinking that might slow it down a bit, but it really doesn't. Andy suggestions how to keep the pulley from rotating, or am I doing this wrong?

Quick question, what is the thread pitch for the wheel lug nuts? Would 12 x 1.25 work? Thanks!

I was excited to purchase my first Z after years of admiring them. I just purchased a 77 280Z with only 10,000 miles on it. I did a full blown tune-up plugs, wires, cap, roter, fuel filter, before I started putting miles on it. I brought it home today, and it started to run rough after it was warmed up. It started backfiring and was running at 500 rpm at idle. I looked around on past posts and noticed quite a few owners have had the same problem. I see quite a few suggestions, but I don't want to start throwing a bunch of parts at it if I can help it. Could anybody give me some solid advice. I see possible solutions as replacing o2 sensors, coolant temp sensors or start…

Hi all, I have a set of old 240Z horns I have had for years. Well I think they came from a 240Z. The problem is they don't have the same mounting bracket that attach to the outer ring like the ones I see in other threads. The mounting brackets use the two some M8 holes to mount to the body, but the bracket attaches to the center post on the horn like the later 280Z. The horns have the original drab green colour. The other thing is they don't have any date stamp. Its blank after the word Date. The last two photos show the difference (front) with the later 280Z horn and the 280Z Date A5 stamped on it. I like the sound of these more than my 280Z horn…

Hi, i did change my engine lest fall. I had problems with my head one valve was not adjustable anymore so i bought that engine rebuilt from Datsunparts LLC think that was a mistake. The thing is burning oil and i got uneven oil pressure. It runs great pulls hard but burns oil and scarry uneven oil pressure. my other engine use to be dead center on the oil pressure gauge this one goes up and down. and i cannot figure the patern. It is not linked with reving it can be high at low rev and low at high rev and vice versa. complete aleatoire patern. Any body have an idea where to start. Thank`s Jean-P

Would anyone happen to have one of these anchors, as in pic. I broke mine. I think their interchangeable. Passenger will fit on drivers and vice versa. My drivers side broke. Thank you very much.

My amp gauge used to stay a little to the positive side when all the lights were on. And it would be right in the middle when the lights were off. Recently the gauge has started to bounce back and forth really fast, almost looks like it's vibrating. The lights are also fluctuating, they go bright then dim, bright then dim. Today with the lights off the gauge was all the way to the right, almost touching the +60 side. It stayed there for about 5 minutes then went back to the middle and started bouncing again. Is it my voltage regulator? As far as I can tell it's as old as the car.
