I need that too I have several manuals but none have a decent wiring diagram. Electrical probs. were so much easier to trouble shoot in my 240, even without the diagram. Blasted late early Z.(if that makes sense:cross-eye)

AAAWWWSOOMME Avatar ZMEfly!!!! WHOOOOSH!!! And the ZX is gone.

you mean this..... (compliments of that ozzy guy) http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=4847&password=&sort=7&thecat=500 More info here... http://www.jagsthatrun.com/Pages/Datsun_Z_V-8.html

here is the plate. My other late 73 had an N36 too. Maybe late 240zs and 260z had these manifolds.

Well my 73 240z (soon to belong to texas z)has it and it was manufactured in 10/72.

one thing i will try is to drag it along my long driveway to see if that frees them. (my mission is to have the brakes unfrozen when before owner arrives) That sounds like it might work. Plan B: I guess i'm probably gonna get out a nice heafty hammer and knock the crap out of the drums trying to get them off. Then i'll see if i can bang out the brake pads on the frozen caliper.

That sounds good.

rust could be the issue i'll give it a try, but just a few months ago they were working properly.(i was driving it)

I have a 73 240z and the brakes are all locked up at 3 corners. I just need to be able to get this car on a trailer since the next owner is just going to use it for parts. Since the car doesn't free roll putting it on a trailer will be difficult it seems. Any ideas or suggestions? Is there a way i could free up the brakes by removeing pressure from the system or somthing?

OUCH!!!!!!!!!! thats bad....bad..

Great, I guesss it looks okay though.\ I wonder thirty years from now if someones gonna say: " another blasted sunroof....bah!"

Those are CCW wheels and are custom made. They are very NICE.

My favorite teenage job was the car wash. I was driving my zx then and it always had an amour all interior and a fresh coat of wax.

Single weber??!! I had dual weber 32/36 DGVs on mine, ran like a charm and plenty of power.

Better Yet go to the Nissan dealership and beg them to wash cars, maybe you'll get to take a very close look at the 350z and take it for a small spin across the lot!!

Drive my Z.

I think the best possible way to do it is to swap in a L28et engine from a 81-83 280zx turbo. You can keep you existing tranny since it just bolts in (kinda--------simple accomodations for FI and air filters have to be made).

I 've always wondered if ZMEFLY is taken in texas. I know...Iknow ..... it's already taken here(on this site:dead: ).....but i like it too much and if i can i'd put that on my plates. It might make me put on that front lic. plate i am required to put on by law.

Can't you bore and stroke the L28et?

Like Ivan said there are 2 position of the door being closed . Make sure your drivers door is closed all the way. I would close mine and if it didn' t lock the i would lean / push agaist it and i would hear the click sound of the door closing. Then it was a breeze to lock.

In 70-78 the z cars HP was listed in gross HP. That didn't take into consideration all belted on components. Most cars were forced by law to start listed Net HP ratings by 74(?). NIssan was able to keep the gross rating longer for some reason. The Net rating are on the ZX though and are true. So even though that 280zx N/A says 135 or 145 HP it is NET HP(not gross) and has more power than a 78 280z that has 170 gross HP. Sorry to say but yes our 280z's stock have like a 120 HP realisticlly and its 0-60 times and quarter mile times stock actually reflect that. So turbo or stroker? Either way your gonna get a big HP gain. That means whatever route you go your gonna feel the difference. HOw about turbo stroker:devious:
