Thanks guys for your help! New master cylinder it is

Thank you again guys, so what would you guys recommend to do to determine if the master cylinder is really the problem

Thank you guys, but just wondering does the car have to be on when i bleed it? Because when the car is off and i do a round of bleeding, the pedal feels fine, but as soon as i turn the car on, thats when the pedal goes to the floor

hello all, i've been searching and can't find any solutions... i am not familiar with working on brakes, but i disconnected one of my break lines and when re-installing it i was told i had to bleed the brakes, so i pumped the pedal while my dad was under the car opening the bleeder and closing, starting at the rear passenger side to the driver back to the rear driver to the front passenger... the pedal started feeling tighter and how it normally did...but when i start the car the pedal goes loose and im able to easily slam it to the floor...while its on if i keep pumping the brake pedal i feel it getting tighter, but as soon as i stop and push it again, it goes back to being loose... any ideas as to what im doing wrong, or if something is dead and needs to be replaced? done on: 1973 datsun 240z, original factory drum and disc brakes... thank you

hello, i searched online and couldn't find anything that could answer my question... i have a 73 240z and recently placed a front air dam off a 74 260z, so now my front parking lights won't fit... im having trouble trying to find 260z front parking lights (the ones that are located by the grill) so i went to my local autoparts store and got some rectangular shaped amber lights... the only problem is those new amber lights i got only have 2 wires, and original has 3 wires... does anyone know how to re-wire my new bulbs so they're on when my headlights are on and also blink when i signal... thank you

ok thank you guys for all your input...i was about to order that kit, thinking it would add a lot more h.p...(well not a lot more, but more) i thought it was the more affordable-happy-medium kit, that would bring you close to a complete webber carb set-up thank you guys

hello everyone, i searched around and haven't seen anything related to my issue, i was wondering if anyone has ever just removed the stock airbox and air filter and just placed two cone style filters filters in its place... basically as seen like this kit: http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/PFFC20/11-4010KI will it do the same thing? if were to just mount two cone style filters? or is there more to this kit than just the air filters thank you

hello, just wondering can anyone recommend some type of adhesive that would work like magic to fix my passenger side door handle. most people probably had the same problem as i did if they replaced or repaired their door handle, mine snapped on plastic part where the lever connects too. i know most will say just to replace it, but being from canada, it takes for ever for parts to get shipped here, not to mention sometimes it gets held up in customs. i am trying to look for the cheaper alternative, i tried some products called "cold weld" but that doesn't work, it looks like after it cures it does, but when you go and try to test it out and pull on the lever it just snaps again... so if anyone had had this problem and has done a simple fix by gluing it back together and it still works like new, can you please tell me what you used Thank you

thank you "travel'n man" and everyone else helping, i never got a chance to try your advice, right now i sent my starter away to get either repaired or replaced. but as soon i get either my new starter or repaired starter back, then i can go back and try your advice i will keep you posted, and thank you!!!

Because all my wiring n voltage readings seem to be fine, based on the manual u told me to download, btw thank you very much, very helpful

another question i have, and maybe this could be the problem, is that when i went to tighten the the bolt on the solenoid (the one with the positive wire from the battery connected to it) the whole top piece now rotates and moves, could this cause a problem from the solenoid? the parts that rotate when tightening is the whole top piece, where it has the one bolt that the positive connects to, the other bolt that has the black wire running from the starter motor, and the connector that connects to the black wire

this occurred right after i installed a new fuel sending unit, at first the car had problems starting up, but finally it just started, and sound better than ever, i was so excited i was letting is sit running for a while (about 10 minutes) while i cleared up the mess behind the car, after i took it for a test drive, ran great at low speed down the end of the street, but as i got to 40 and was able to push it, thats when it happened, everything sound and felt perfect so i wasn't expecting this to happen, there is no other electrical load, i don't have a radio installed, this was in the afternoon, so i wasn't using any lights, and it was sunny so i wasn't using the wipers. it was warm outside, so no heater. i remembered how the wiring was before i replaced the sending unit and put everything back the way it was originally, and i didn't touch any other wiring, thats why its hard for me to figure its electrical, another reason why it might be electrical or fuel related, is cause i never did believe my fuel pump was wired correctly, when i got it from the previous owner, there where a couple of wires that weren't attached, but still it started and ran fine when i first got it, other than having a hard time starting, it never died while driving...it just started as soon as i replaced the sending unit, as well i noticed that the lines going to the fuel pump are dry, could this mean that the pump isn't working? or the wiring is wrong...thats what im figuring, but when i wire it i can hear the pump working, i don't feel suction, when i take one of the hoses off, but i do hear it going...

Comparing what i have to the pic, i notice u have one black wire going the solenoid, with my car i have 2 wires, one that is black with a yellow stripe and another that is a thicker black wire, both connected together then connected to the solenoid, should i just have one, any ideas what these wires are

the car just shut off, as if someone just turned the car off, while still rolling i managed to start the car again, but again at low rpms in second gear the car would just shut off, no rough hack or cough, it would seem like someone really just turned the key off while i was driving.

Thanks gary, did that, now the car doesnt want to start on its own when i connect the battery, but now when i try to start it, i get nothing, i here a click from under the dash on the passenger side, is there relay i could have damaged? Do u have a pic or can tell me where it is located, thanks again for your help

Ok this is strange, but i re-installed the starter the same as the pic, had the battery tested, and it was perfect, but now when i go to reconnect the battery the, say the positive is connected, as soon as i touch the negative, the car tries to start on its own, i've never seen this before, the key isnt even in, my wiring looks exactly like the pic, even tried just having the battery wires connected n it still does the same, please help!!!

ok gary and eveyone else that has helped me along my restore project (thank you) but now that i re-installed the starter, i get nothing... when i got it tested it was perfect, they did several tests and it was all perfect but before i received your pic i did try to re-install the starter and based on your photo i did it wrong. i had the positive connected to the starter mounting bolt to on the top and the negative connected the bottom mounting bolt, could my mistake caused damage? i did re-install it as you had it in your photo and i have power, but nothing happens when i go to start it. i just hear a click sound coming from the passenger side under the glove box...do you think by me installing the starter wrong the first time i could have blown the starter relay? if there is one, if so, if you(or anyone else) doesn't mind send or posting me a photo of what and where its located, sorry but when i try to look it up in my manual all it shows (which is a majority of everything) is all 75 and up and i have a 73.....or if you could recommend something else for me to check, thank you!!!

thank you gary for all your help!!!

thanks gary it does... just wondering is that the negative or positive thats connected to the solenoid, sorry both the wires in the pic are black, and mine are orange (+) and red (-) thank you again!!!

sorry but stupid me took out my starter awhile ago to get tested, now i finally got it tested and the test was good, but now i forgot where all the wires connect to, if someone can please send or post a pic showing where all the wire go, this would really help me in reinstalling the starter, last thing i want to do is screw anything up because i connected the wires in the wrong spot. basically i forgot where the positive and negative wires from the battery connect to thank you

thank you for the pic, i noticed that my car doesn't have one by the engine, in its place is just a filter, does it need both pumps to function properly ?

i took out my electrical pump by the tank and opened it, it looked like there was no filter in there, just a copper assembly (not sure what its called) there was a strong magnetic charge, as well before i took it apart and removed the fuel pump, i took both hoses off both ends and turned the car on the on position, i hear the fuel pump spinning inside, and i was wondering should i be able to feel suction coming from one end? im guessing the end that gets connected to the filter and from the filter to the tank? there was no suction on either end...im not exactly sure how a fuel pump works, but im guessing its suppose to suck fuel from the tank, so there should be some sort of suction right? i also tried removing the filter and connecting it directly to the tank, and then removed the hose and the hose was dry no fuel was sucked through, im guessing this is a faulty fuel pump? as well im still having a hard time locating exactly where on the engine the mechanical pump is... thank you

@ darrel, wow i did not know there was a filter inside of the pump, everytime i read through manuals it kept saying that i should be able to see through the casing to see the filter inside, and then with a diagram from my manual it showed that there should be a filter by the tank, and when i purchased the car there was no filter by the tank. i do have a fuel pump by the tank, i didn't know there was another on the engine, can you tell me specifically where to look, and what it should look like im pretty sure the fuel pump by the tank is still stock, it looks aged, so would i have to replace the whole fuel pump or should i be able to remove the fuel pump, and replace just the filter? Sorry for all the questions everybody...thanks again for your guys' help! thank you

ok, so i just want to make sure i connect it correctly after getting a longer fuel hose, it should go from the tank, to the top of the fuel filter, then a hose from the bottom of the fuel filter to the fuel pump.. and i should make sure the filter sits up right... thank you

THANK YOU very much i will try that, but i was wondering does it matter on how the filter is mounted or sitting? what i mean is that the filter came with small fuel hose, and i have that fuel hose going from the tank to the bottom of the filter, but cause its so small the filter sits sideways, and then the hose from the top of the filter to the pump. should that matter that it sits sideways
