You notice the right side of your speedo? It's dimmer than the left. @Captain Obvious figured how to fix that but I can't find it. Captain, you got your ears on? Come back...

I don't think the dimmer works with leds. I like the white leds myself, just looking at photos of them.

Look through this thread. Page 2 has some gauge info.- vintage dashes 280z
Nice! Will you install led bulbs in the gauges? There's some good info here on that. Superbrightleds.com I think is where they get them. It really looks good.- Quiet Muffler
I've got 2.5" on my '72 also. Mine won't fit up into the cut-out on the rear crossmember/differential mount and is a little low. I saw your picture and was amazed. Then I realized it's on ramps. Beautiful car.- Parts for Sale: SU Carbs Nearly New
@Av8ferg You're wanting a 240. If you haven't already spent a bunch on your efi buy these carbs. You'll have more comfortable 280 with 240 performance. I'll find rossiz'z thread on doing just that. It's a fantastic read with good results as planned. It's on my laptop, sorry but I'm using my phone atm. In my opinion that's the draw to 240s. Those SUs, when dialed in, are awesome. Totally different than efi to me.- Parts for Sale: SU Carbs Nearly New
$250! With knurled drops. That's a great deal. I wouldn't even sale them.- saturday night music thread
A good song from the boobies page. Thanks @conedodger- '78 280z Running Lean?, lack of power
How old is the fuel filter? It does good after cooling? OR the sediment in the filter falls down. I went through that with mine. Ran good for 5 mintues then I walk home to get another car and tool bag. Get back and it fires right up, 5 minutes later "wash rinse and repeat".- 280z won’t start
Seems like mine show around 13.5 volts while idling. Go to a auto parts store and get a free load test. Check the tension on your alternator belt too. Could be a little loose?- vintage dashes 280z
They look nice! It's like a nice shiny front tooth inside a mouthful of coffee stained teeth. ? Now y'all are going to have to do the whole interior. But they do look good.- 240z Radio Knobs
Okay Boss, I have one headed your way. 3 more to go.- Z's only a mother could love thread
That maybe the ugliest Z I've seen so far but the bar isn't too low. With the values increasing like they are these ridiculous builds are over IMO. No more V8 conversions either thank goodness.- 76 280Z
Looks like the bottom half of a floormat to me? There's some canister routing with that rod alongside the valve cover me thinks. Just guessing. The top does look like a section of rebar cut out though. Never seen it stacked like that? There's some heat shield around the injectors too. Somebody buy it and answer our questions, please!- float bowl overflow
- [2019] What Did You Do To/with Your Z Today?
I've learned a lesson today. No more sharing info at a gas station. Just with you guys. "I know nothing!"- rear driver side brake stuck

You can turn a long one into a short by drilling the pin holes higher. Member Madkaw did it with success. Now I have to drill the 2 front lids that I have left over for a set I'm rebuilding.- carb balance with Twinmax
@Captain Obvious Right up your alley from what I remember about your bike and those water tubes. @rossiz too. He has some Ducatis.- 240z Radio Knobs
Nope! All good here. Waiting on cooler weather to put my new valves in a set of float lids. I'll have 4 good lids to swap out and see which valves work best. Hard to take apart a great running car at the moment. Oh yeah, mine had glass balls too! I think that's better from what I've read. Thanks again!!!- 240z Radio Knobs
