  1. I only unbolted one side. Let me try. Thanks.
  2. Hi Guys, I have original exhaust setup including the CAT. Can someone point me which part is correct for the catalytic convertor connector. I had to disconnect the exhaust at the CAT to transport and needs a new gasket there. It seems to be a standard one single pipe but would appreciate if someone can point me to exact part i can buy.
  3. Hi Guys, I have a $73.84 gift card from ZCD. Willing to sell it for $50 if anyone buying stuff from there and want to save $23 shot me a msg. I take PayPal. Appreciate.
  4. Seems like it is the eBay item number:193947445721 and not the crap I found
  5. OK I think this is what I was referring to the B - Key Holder: https://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/Z-1969-1978/miscellaneous/cylinder-lock-key
  6. That's why some people like to buy new cars and trade it in at or near warranty expiration etc. Dealers charge too much for service that's how they make money. Best is to know a reliable mechanic and just save yourself time on big jobs and save money on DIY wherever you can.
  7. While i took the bumpers off I found this attached on the left inner side of the front bumper with the spare key inside. I have seen a pic of this in the 280z car parts manual. Cannot find it at this time. If someone has it can you post the link to it? Thanks.
  8. You mean someone sitting in the car while it is torqued? why is that?
  9. Thanks @Patcon really appreciate it. This seems to be the right part. I was a bit confused as I was seeing a different type from energy suspension etc. The original part has this extended sleeve. I hope once it is pressed in the traverse link it is easy to slide that in between the support bracket...
  10. OK I found the tension bar bushing code #20 here. The pic shows traverse link bolt #17 but no bushing. I am pretty sure there is a bushing in there on my car.
  11. Cannot identify these two bushings. I mean online. One is traverse link bushing and the other where tension bar meets the body.
  12. I am a bit new to the 280z rack. My rack might be OK and based on some videos I have seen I might very well change the inner and outer tie rods and just clean and paint the original one.
  13. Any place where I can find a decent priced: 1. Steering rack 2. front traverse link bushings 3. Tension bar bushings Struts, ball joints, outer tie rods, end links I can find on ebay.
  14. Hi Guys, Basic question, what parts do you need for steering and suspension makeover. I am not looking for any performance or coil overs. Close to OEM specs are fine. This is what comes to mind: - Shocks - Springs (I can clean and keep the original) - Outer tie rods - Ball joints - End links - Bushings kit What else?
  15. I have raised deck as well which curves up towards the rear. If that is what u have then it is not needed for that year.
  16. Hi, I have a tail light panel which doesn fit my 77 280z. If anyone is looking for one I can give a good discount. https://www.datsun-garage.com/products/tail-light-panel-1974-78-260z-280z-coupe-only
  17. Hi Guys, My car has been running fine for the last over a year since I cleaned all the fuel lines and gas tank etc. New fuel filter also at that time. Recently there was a leak in one of the small fuel injection hoses on the fuel rail. I replaced it with new hoses (2 of them). Now when I start the car it cranks up fine but after few mins it seems it is starving on gas and tries to pull back and sometimes die if I dont keep the RPM at 2K with a little throttle. Once it warms up close to normal engine temp it can idle normally and I have driven it well over 50 miles at 70mph and no issues. Any idea whats going on?
  18. Yeah the package has 2 small studs and 4 longer ones. Smaller probably like you explained and longer ones on the front to hold the fan thermo clutch. I got it. I ordered the 5 stainless bolts from ZCD today as well.
  19. Dumb question as I have not looked into the engine bay around the water pump. I received the AISIN pump and the gasket has more than 5 holes than what you are showing for these 5 bolts. What are the other holes for?
  20. Seems like Aisin WPN013 is recommended in some other prior posts as well due to its cast iron impeller. I will probably stick with that. Available on Amazon.
  21. Is it Kameari-Japan? ZCD says this Aisin is same pump Kameari sells? https://zcardepot.com/products/water-pump-new-japan-240z-260z-280z?_pos=5&_sid=aa67b32da&_ss=r
  22. Gates is a good name and price is great. Did u install it already? Is this something easy DIY?
  23. Guys, another hick up...my water pump is giving up. Recently hearing noise. ZCD has few different pumps. Which one do you guys recommend? they mention cast iron impeller does it matter? will cast iron not corrode? what does the original pump use? Need guidance ...
