Is it possible to drain and refill transmission fluid, without lifting the car? I could take to a shop to get it lifted by the tires and have them change it, but I want to save money since I’m 18 and in college. I’ve heard you can refill using the reverse light method but I have no clue what they are talking about. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This might be helpful, you can make your own switch but, was to complicated for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Im not much help, but I had the same issue my head lights were broken. Turns out the headlight switch was completely busted. My options were to either replace the switch itself (pricey) or solder 2 cables (my help forum should help you) to constantly run a low beam, or high beam I choose high beam as the headlights aren’t to bright and also the car is so low I really wont be blinding anyone.

What exactly is an Italian tune up? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think it’s especially an issue since the car might be running a little rich, the new exhaust and temperature sensor for the injectors should help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After looking it turns out the wall it’s usually parked in front of also has little splats. I figured it was nothing to major but Im always worried and had to ask, glad it’s something normal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I figured it was something somewhere along those lines, I’m glad I got help to clear it up hoping the exhaust comes soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I noticed black smoke coming out of the car, my first thought is the car running to rich plus the exhaust is actually garbage and the catalytic converter is stock from factory (1978) so I assume the exhaust to be the reason for the black smoke as it is dirty, rusty, and black from the inside, but today I noticed droplets of black liquid, now from what I know this could be condensation+the unburnt fuel= black droplets (cold start), as I have driven the car and have not smelled burnt oil nor seen the oil levels drop. Am I wrong? I will inspect spark plugs to see if they show signs of unburnt fuel due to running rich. Can anyone help with ideas to what it could be? (New exhaust will come in next week, order was canceled so now I have to wait) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Was planning on purchasing both, thank you for the information. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe it is the same sender from the Z series as the engine essentially came from a 240z and was a main point of advertisement “Nissan Maxima now with the 240z engine” I believe the sender should work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll see the car Saturday, and add an update since she lives 40mins away to see if its the same sender. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So my girlfriend owns a 810 and since its essentially a L24 from a 240z I assume this temperature gauge sensor works (picture below). Although it says 1970-1983 in the description so still skeptical. Does anyone know if this sensor will work? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Life saver, I really needed this the cheap plastic ones I got never really solved the issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Might have to get the OEM ones, the ZCardepot bushing were a tight fit and I struggled to get them in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You did use some sort of grease on the pin and bushings right? That helped me a bit. I got the plastic ones from zcardepot sadly, and the pin was a pain to slide in. Wiggling it around taking in and out to make sure its going in right helped me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sadly its a 78, the shop is charging me 750-900 for a new cat which is the worst, thats with no installation included. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was thinking of purchasing the MSA headers and getting the stock pipe, run a cat and then just afterwards straight pipe. I love the sound of the MSA headers, my car is mostly a straight pipe with one 50 year old cat in its way. I looked at the eBay copies, but I was skeptical of the functionality and build thank you for the warning and advise. In terms of power I just want to drive the old girl shes been sitting for 9 months so power isn’t much concern, but a bonus is always appreciated :). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I’ve heard none are legal sadly, I could leave stock headers and go with emissions exhaust system from MSA plus cat. It would save me a few hundred dollars and ensure a pass. Is this a fine enough suit, i do want something with noise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Im basically 3/4 way to get 280z on the road, I decided to go the long way instead of paying “a guy” to pass smog. The cat is probably stock and rotting away, the exhaust system its self is also slightly rotting away with little holes in it from rust. I decided on going down the root of getting a 3-2 headers with a smog fitting and a brand new cat. I don’t want to fail visual inspection as I live in California but I also don’t want to break the bank. Would a black exhaust from MSA be to noticeable and would I get turned away for it? ZCardepot has a stainless steal version with a smog fitting as well, but I don’t know if its as good as quality as the MSA 3-2. Any tips on exhaust and if I will face any major issues? Tips to save money? Note: the stock headers look mostly fine, full of surface rust would a stock exhaust from MSA with a new cat be a better option than, new headers and new cat?

I will also check that since I did install a new fuel pump not to long ago, thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you, I will dig into running more tests and definitely pay for the pretest to see my results and post them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally got the car running decent and its time to pay fees and smog. hooked up my carbon canister with a T fitting, adjusted AFM so it runs a bit leaner at idle. Timing needs to be set to 10° along with a new oil change pre smog. I have also decided to do a e85 and regular gas mixture, a 3:2 ratio, 3 gallons of premium gas and 2 gallons of e85. Is there anymore I could do to ensure a pass for California smog? Car still smells like gas but not as much after adjusting afm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
