So i murderd my 78 280z and i can't save it. If there is anybody in the texas area illfind out where its going the motot is at 69k and great interior And all but the left side is good mas header ,coustom pipe ,speaker box I'm going a diffrent route a 300zx tt but i want ppl to know there are good Parts out there sorry this is on my phone so not the best post.

I had this i crossed 2and 3 spark plug wires check that

Well today was fun i have to replace the clutch line broke it at the rubber line that will just take up time . its time to just turn her in to the shop the z seems to be a animal i cant tame

Yea computer is down sorry for that but the phone hates me but it is all i have. I just need to know if i have to push the clutch fork back and then install the slave is it the wrong one it seems like a bad fit to me.

I have no peddle play and o think i have the wrong slave its hard to install i have to push the fork iut if the way to get it in. Could just doing the clutch help and i can start fresh and just have a shop do the ajust that i need?

That makes perfect sense i took it apart when i first got it and came apart to easy and did not fit right when i put it on. That and the rod is adjusted out on the master i have no free play. At allwell i know what im doing after work that and getting some bushings just for good measure she is old and needs the love.

And i almost forgot no free play in the peddle and iys stiffer then it was.

Ok ill look at my fsm. I got in it today and going good then i got a hair cut got in and same problem so im confused i have been through it all but i guess this gremlin needs a diffrent person to work it out.

Ok it seems. Like more but is that from the base or the bugging g of the rubber on the slave sorry phone hates me.

Blue your my boy . I ran the ajustments to where they are supposed to be and no. dice just a interment thing if I put the master where its Suppose to be can't shift and the peddle ill get some slip. I'm wondering if I should do a clutch and get the ajust done. I have 67xxx original miles on the devil.

Ok ill see if the z shop will do it

Ok I did mess with the ajust ments and its still hard to shift but then it will want to go back to shifting hard and grinding I replaced everything but the hose. Ill put that on tomorrow but I put grease where the shifter is under the boot. But I need some guidance.

Update now it seems to be a intermittent problem so ill do shifter stuff and ajustments and hope that works

Yea I have to go a diffrent way. I'm going to have to replace more things. Still binding but it was fine last night after I ajusted the peddle. So I think ill grease the shifter and replace said bushings

The inter Web knows all I feel like a tard peddle ajust and its in top shape

Ok I replaced the master and slave to the clutch but its still hard to shift into first and second and reverse is stilll grinding I need help

ok sweet im having the shop bleed it to see whats up while they have it for the ajustment and broken cam tower bolt. and if the shop cant get it buy a quick bleed then ill just replace the slave and master might as well since im in there right. im going to be going to school for automotive but i need my skill ti catch up with this z its a diffrent animal then your b18 honda or chevy v8 the basics are the same but the l28 seems to want its own thing.

No did once on high rev but not any time else

ok i know why im sounding like a singer sewing machine. but my trans is really hard to shift and rev is grinding so im asking if i need my other trans box from home or can this be fixed with a simple ajustment?

Ok cool i've worked on Honda engines and Chevy this motor is still a puzzle I feel I can work on this one there won't be one I can't do just now I'm short on time so it has to go to a shop

ok simple fix then thank you

well today i was putting my z back together. to go to the shop and when i first got into it the chain was tight and now there is some slack on the drivers side of the chain i moved the cam to install the rockers i lost and i was going to ajust the rockers when i noticed that there was some slack now in the chain. what could cause this?

i think the cam's are the same from what ive seen on the net i think they are both .240 the cam in the e88 head is a little diffrent just do a cam search for details.

well sounds like anything it all goes to personal style. the simple to crazy and i think thats what makes z owners a great groupe of people. we may not like what someone has done but i think we all think what if or hmmm thats kinda cool. i think a z is a z because of the owner from reading this thread. well maybe only classic z guys i keep getting blown off by 350 guys till i blow by them.

yea i do like the factory style but im a kit guy but i also like little things that if you dont know what your looking for you just know there is something diffrent and it adds just a little flair. i would love to see a z with a 1/2 inch chop on the top just to add that little something.(the WOW factor)
