Wayne, the 78 280 does have the fuel pump input and output contact points in the AFM.

If it's a California car, you can run it through the California DMV Smog test history. http://www.smogcheck.ca.gov/VEHTESTS/PUBTSTQRY.ASPX

I once looked into that for my car but couldn't find any type of chrome edge trim that was flexible enough to work.

That 280Z, from my research, has had a hell of a time passing smog over its lifetime. How would you go about saving it and would it be worth the cost?

And just a shade under a billion miles! Bill, I hope you plan to put the best running engine in the best body body using the best parts and get rid of everything else. About twenty five years ago I used to say I had 14 cars. But what good did it do if only 3 of them could be driven? The rest were just junk. 23 cars in storage? What's the point? EDIT: Carl, you beat me to it!

So, let me get this straight: A VQ35 in a B210 with truck suspension. The only question that comes to mind is...why? Maybe that's why I don't watch any of the 'cut, hack, and weld' shows.

Well, it is fairly obvious that Mr. (or Ms.) tfm101 doesn't.

No bids on this soon-to-be classic? Imagine that! In a 'few more years' this car won't even be a distant Pick-A-Part memory!

Planning another road trip, Bill?

It could still be a 79ZX trans since they are the same as 75-78.

The altitude switch, at least on my 78, is located under the dash. However, my car is a US 280Z. I don't know how that would differ from yours. Can you post a picture?

A 240K is a Skyline C110. Neat car but we didn't get them over here. I really think lexguy meant to post this in the 240/260/280Z discussion forum. I which case a 73 240Z with the description above is not worth 3K IMO.

I would start by losing the SplitFires and replacing them with the proprer NGK's (JMO)

Congratulations! Are you the announcer for the Hooters Pro Cup on Speed Channel? If so, in the immortal words of Johnny Carson, "I did not know that."

Here are two scans of the two relay locations for a 77-78. I don't know of one called specifically the 'accessory' relay. Might you be referring to the ignition relay? The only other relays not show here are the floor temp sensor relay and the brake warning lamp check relay. What is the number on the side of the relay you bought? If it's 25230-89958 that's the ign relay.

Got pictures?

I have the MSA covers on my 78. At first I used the double sided adhesive tabs that come with them to affix the mounting tabs. They eventually came loose and I ended up drilling holes for them. If I had it to do again I would have used 3M double sided mounting tape. I have used that for emblems and properly installed it never comes loose unless you purposely pull it off. It's the dark grey stuff that is available at NAPA. That stuff comes in such a huge roll that I still have plenty of it and I purchased it 5 years ago!

The auction ended today and the winner got it for $2331. At that price I would have taken it.

No, it's the later unit from the 260/280Z Fairlady

It's gone! And Will is right.

I beileve that the other letters were only on the dealer invoices.

Lots of inaccuracies on that chart. The gear ratios are different that what my FSM shows. The ZX trannys may have the higher mounting ears but the Maxima trannys don't. All of which is quite moot since the 79 trans was the only one in question.

The 'A' box is the early one with Porsche type synchros. The shift lever bolts on from underneath. The 'B' box has the shift lever held in place by bushings, pin and an 'e' clip.

The site you've chosen to post the question on? (Sorry, I couldn't resist)
