I was told 12/08/09, but the guy was drunk.

I used the thread type anti seize on my intake and exhaust gaskets against the head. I wish I had used it on the front cover portion of my head gasket to let the front cover slide in better.

That's true on all pop ups that want you click No Thanks, always click the X in the top right corner and usually you won't get it again, at least in my experiences.

You can only wonder why there's a '77 FPR on there? My 1st Z I bought for dirt cheap because it would only idle. Popped the black cover off the AFM and the vane was stuck at wide open throttle from sitting I suppose. Have you taken that cover off and checked it out? Here's a Tech Tip from Atlantic Z's that shows what I'm talking about. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/afm/index.html

I recently lost my dash lights, but brought them back to life plus brighter park and head lights. http://www.kamikazeracing.org/dl/ZTech/Rebuild_240Z_combo_switch.pdf But hopefully your dimmer knob will do the trick as Fastwoman says. It's on the right side of your steering wheel. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/electrical-s30/24526-dimmer-switch-location-73-240z.html

I had to do it early so I'd have money for gifts for my family, 16x7 Rewinds and a new stereo.

Click Go Advanced. Scroll down to Additional Options. Click Manage Attachments, a small window will open. Click Add Files, then click Select Files. Find your picture from your camera or your hard drive, then in that box click Open then it'll close and go back to the 1st small box. Click Upload Files. They should appear on the bottom left of the light blue bar at the bottom. Click Done. That's how mine works.

if your FPR has 2 inlets on the side and the return on the bottom, vacuum up top, it's for a '77 and older. They changed in '78 to 1 inlet. Motorsport! Fuel Pressure Regulator, 75-77 280Z - The Z Store! Nissan-Datsun 240Z-260Z-280Z-280ZX-300ZX(Z31/Z32)-350Z-370Z Parts

That was great! I was hoping for SRV, Pride and Joy at the end but ZZ Top was a smoother finish. 2 thumbs up.

They've got some good pump gas in Stoughton, Massachusetts.

I filled mine up with fuel as it is now my DD car, my truck smells like a dog. My Camry bit the dust last night after I relapsed into my road rage problem and stomped the throttle. I think the timing belt slipped a few teeth.

I bought an Exedy kit for around $125 when I was putting my motor back together, low on funds, it does OK but doesn't grab like I'm used to. I've read Nissan stock clutches are really good.

That was easier than I thought. Anyone who hasn't yet should spend a few hours cleaning this switch, I've got lights I don't remember having. Headlights are a steady beam now and my dash lights are brighter too. Thanks again to MikeW. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/tech-pubs-howto/17688-repairing-240z-combination-switch.html.

I've found a good write up from MikeW on how to fix my problem, hopefully. I'll have to take that box apart and fix the rocker plate on the left side where my dash and park light contacts are. Nice rainy weekend to sit down and tinker.

I'm not sure how long I've had this problem, I don't drive it at night too much. Last evening I noticed my dash lights weren't on when it got dark enough to tell. I came home and realized the PARK lights weren't working either. I have constant power on the green/blue park light solder spot, no power at the the green/white dash light solder spot. If I jumper to the dash light solder they work but the constant power to the green/blue park light solder has me confused, which is easy to do with wiring. Can anyone offer me some ideas? opinions? facts? '77 280Z, build date 09/'76, I've been reading Z'sondabrain thread. Thanks for any replies.

My friend's dad had a copper toned dark brown '75 in the mid 80's. He was the coolest kid in town after midnight when he snuck it out of their garage.

Your classified link gave me "error 404". I've been trying to figure out one that will work from a junkyard car. Older Altima or something.

The yellow teflon will not dissolve in a cup of gas, I tried it! I used the cheapest hose they had too, if it leaks it'll do it around the fittings 1st. I screwed the 1/4" nipple off the gauge into 5/16" hose and clamped it then zip tied it to the wiper. Crank your car and look for leaks before you leave out. Good luck! Maybe we, as in the chess players that like to figure stuff out before anybody else could buy some google glasses we could loan out to members in a jam?

Or Gunmetal gray to match the wheels but 1/2 formula and satin finish.

I want to say the seat belts on 240s are a pain in the rear, non-retractable. Once your buckled up you can't even change the radio station. In the 280 I can reach over and get a drink out of my cooler in the passenger's floor board.

The pressure gauge will tell if your injectors of fuel pressure regulator are allowing fuel to pass through losing the "prime" or the psi it needs to crank. When you shut the motor off the gauge should hold at least 20 psi. Do you have an Advance Auto or O'reilly's around? The ones around here have all the fittings to make the gauge work, I didn't get them from a hardware store.

So you've got a 240mm flywheel? I have a 225mm Tilton aluminium that was part of the deal on the 240Z I bought. I am going to put it on my 280 though and have read that a Nissan clutch was about as good as I can get besides some kind of racing clutch. You're happy with yours, that means something to me, thanks.

I want a stronger clutch. Which one did you use?

Down here salt's for Margaritas, we use sand when the roads get slick. Fastwoman you have a winter project that sounds like too much fun. Just this past weekend I installed an 8 camera security system, Night Owl cheapo but it works great, pulled wire for 8 hours in the ceiling of a 40 year old restaurant. It was horrible!

If you have a ZX it could be the TPS causing problems. It switches from IDLE to WideOpenThrottle between 2,000 and 3,000 RPMs. It's the little black box on the drivers side of the throttle body. If you loosen the nut you can adjust it. Sometimes they get wet and start acting up. https://www.google.com/search?q=280z+throttle+position+switch&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=1Z-VUvq7K4PJsQSY74DgBw&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=619
