Hello everybody, I am looking to buy a 5 speed transmission for my 1976 280Z. Also I need a pedal box and everything else for a complete swap. Anybody willing to let one go? Any response it will be appreciated. Thank you all.

Thank you so much................

Hi everybody, I need a factory repair manual. I downloaded a few months ago from a website but due to a computer crash I lost everything. Where can I downloaded again? Any links?

Thank u. and what is NLA? not so familiar with this.

Hello everybody, I'm back with with my 1976 280Z headache. Underneath the T.B is a vacuum valve(i think) that is called Engine Speed Control Valve. Hopefully I am right. That valve has two diaphragms inside. Well mine are almost gone which I think create a major vacuum leak. The question is where can I get those? Or at least the whole valve. Is there any rebuild kit available somewhere? Please I will appreciate any kind of help. Thank u very much. Also I will post my phone number, so anybody can call me with any ideas.

I got new boots. I'm waiting for Monday to come to be able to install them. very expensive parts, 92 dollars both(original.) . Better work after this. :):):)

It revs very nice. backfire only with load.I just found yesterday a hole in the boot bet. AFM and TB. today I got new boots, but I have to wait until Monday to install them.

Thank u guys. what I found so far today was a hole in the boot between AFM and TB. Tomorrow I will get new ones and I also have a new AFM(rebuilt of course). so let's wait until Monday. Have a great weekend everybody.

I will check it tomorrow and I will let u know. thank u. U give me something to think. By the way, the air intake boot bet intake and mass meter is a little squeezed. from the mass meter and air box missing. u think this can cause misfire? not enough air. car runs rich.

The air mass meter was purchase rebuild by Phyton. When I empty my gas tank(dump almost 10-11 gallons) everything came out clean, no rust or other crap. i am not to familiar with Z's. I just want it running by all means.

Yeap. The car was sitting for 13 years in a garage when iI bought it. I finaly make ot run but..... I have new injectors, neu spark plugs, new injector connectors(actualy I replace all the connectors on the engine)new cap, rotor, air mass meter,EGR valve, auxiliary air valve,wires, all the sensors, TPS sensor. Runs but no power with load.

Hello Z Fanatics........ I post a few weeks ago about my 1976 280Z. The problem........backfire in the air mass meter. Car idle beautiful, has fuel pressure, no vacuum leaks, timing is good, I try to run it around the block, no power, backfires. Sometimes feels like she want's to go but she cannot. Anybody any idea? I will be more than thankful for any kind of help. If anybody in LA area is willing to help me I am willing to pay:):):).

That's just too bad. I bet it hurts so bad. Don't let them make your car a total loss. It is fixable. and it is worth it. good luck

Hello there, Is there anybody around L.A area who have a 5 speed transmission for a 1976 280Z for sale?

hello everybody, I'm looking for some lowering springs for my 280Z(1976). I need at least 2" drop. Does anybody have those? I really don't want to cut the stock springs, that's ghetto..................

hello everybody, I'm looking for some lowering springs for my 280Z(1976). I need at least 2" drop. Does anybody have those? I really don't want to cut the stock springs. That's Hecho in Mexico.

As I sad before, I have fuel pressure I have vacuum, what I was thinking is that may be a possibility of having a lazy valve that has a delay on closing? The car was sitting in a garage for 13 years. weeks ago when I rev the engine one of the tappets in the end of the valve stem jump from his place, which is not normal.What do u guys think about it?

sorry guys my mistake. that dot doesn't belong bet. 3 and 5 so is about 35.

I have a 76 280z automatic for now. Fuel pressure is 3.5, I don't know about vacuum, engine temp looks normal. Actually I did not replace the chain, just the rails and the tensioner. I install the timing by the book, on number 2 hole on the cam sprocket and the crank on TDC. Also i aligned both with the chain marks. Mystery so far.

Hello everybody, I have a big problem which means backfire in the intake. I had it before i replace the timing chain, i have it after. New air mass meter, new distributor, new injectors, spark plugs etc. Starts and idle OK. The backfires are not always there. so what else can be? Any advice is more than appreciated. Thank you very much.

thank you very much.

Hello everybody, This time I really need an advice from 280Z gurus. Is there any gaskets between hydraulic chain tensioner and engine block? It is an enigma for me. Nissan dealer don't have and is not even specified in there data base. Nobody has it. I bought a Kit and does not have it. Please help. Thank you

same think happened to me. over revved and the lash pads jump. same noise after that and very low compression. check this first. good luck
