I've got a 75 280Z with the OEM 4 speed and it has it as well. If I remember correctly the tall portion goes in the back. If nothing else see about lining up the holes with the bottom of the case...should only fit one way....Let me put that another way ()...more than likely someone could probably install it wrong tho if they tried real hard...() webdawg1

You'll be money ahead if you send it out and have it done right. If your tank is in pretty sound shape with the exception of the rust on the inside then check out the following url: http://www.gas-tank.com/ Quite a few people here have sent their tanks to them including myself to have them redone correctly...might as well nip it in the bud now and be done with it...so you can move on to something else... webdawg1

Couple of questions... How long has it been sitting out in that corn field it came out of?? (I.E. - 2-3 years, 5-10 ??) 1. Old gas or new gas in the fuel tank.... 2. Have you checked the condition of the fuel tank and fuel lines.... (I.E. - Fuel tank for RUST and fuel lines for blockage) 3. Have you checked all your connections for anything ECU/FI related.... (I.E. - Connections that have green stuff on them) 4. Fusible links for possible blown links... That's just for starters...make yourself up a list and start checking off everything as you go thru it...at some point you should have a pretty good idea as to why it's not running... webdawg1

Mohamed, It was just some "Tongue in cheek humor" and more along the lines of "Just kidding"...If you ever decide to part with it someday tho, you'll probably regret it the rest of your life...not many still around ya know... webdawg1

You can buy a kit for about $5.00 bucks. See the following url for part number and info on how to do it... http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/shifterbushing/index.html webdawg1

I've been doing pretty much the same thing on eBay, but in little kits for one specific area at a time. (Who wants to buy a whole bunch of screws/bolts if you don't really need them or want them) So far... I've made up stainless steel kits for the the Valve Cover Bolts, Fuel Injector Screws and several other areas under the hood... webdawg1

I think you are making reference to what some folks call the exhaust downtube...See the following url: http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/explodedviews/280z/exhaust%20and%20muffler%20L28%20cal%20dec%2074.gif Item #1 in the picture would be the item you are talking about... webdawg1

Have a "Lowes" near you? They carry Kobalt brand. I picked up a three ton floor jack here a while back and four jack stands (Also rated at 3 tons)...Hey...if you're going to do it...you might as well build a little bit of overkill (READ Safety) into your tools...that's YOUR body that's going to be under there ya know... webdawg1

Yeah...that url () webdawg1

You are making reference to item #78 and #80....Correct? See the following url for picture and items that I'm making reference to: http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/explodedviews/280z/front%20panels%20l26%20l28%20%20fr%20aug%2073.gif webdawg1

Saw a nissan factory emission control system manual for model years 1970, 1971 on eBay...Thought it might be of some interest to someone...Item #7940270176 Later... webdawg1

Got my engine stand and engine crane from Grizzly Industrial at the following url: http://www.grizzly.com Engine stand (Rated at 1250 Lbs) price was $65.95 (Item #G8722) Engine Crane (Rated to 2 tons) price was $169.95 + freight of $73.25.

Tomo, I'm showing 27 3/4" wide x 26 1/2" tall. (Measured from the flat area to the 12:00 o'clock position) Has three holes for your fingers to go into to pick it up. Holes measure 1 5/8" tall x 3" long. Also has approx. 15-20 flat head rivets holding it together. At one point it had velcro holding it down at three points on the bottom. Don't have much in the way of pictures. Need to see about getting one (A digital camera) here pretty soon... webdawg1

Here's a picture of a spare tire cover for a 75 280Z. I'll see if I can dig it out of the garage here in just a little bit and get some measurements for you... webdawg1

You might consider talking to the guys at the following url: http://www.gas-tank.com/ They might be able to help you out...I had a pretty good caved in area on the bottom of my tank when I sent my tank to them. When I got it back you could not even tell where it was damaged...don't cost anything to ask... webdawg1

Have a picture of what you are talking about?? May still be able to get them from your local Nissan dealer... webdawg1

53...soon to be 54 in sunny south west georgia...Z makes me feel like I'm 30 tho...he he webdawg1

How about have one custom made for you.... Way I see it...by the time you find a machine shop and take your drive shaft in and have them do the work plus install new U-Joints you could probably have one made up custom and be done with it...See the following url: http://www.powertrainindustries.com/ They also have a couple of catalogs you can download in PDF format... webdawg1

You must not be looking hard enough () I bought a couple of them from my local Nissan dealer just recently. ... (Took them a little while because they were on back order, but they did finally come in) Part number for the hose is 11828-P7100 and they list for about $24.82 but they may charge you more, maybe less. I've also seen some on eBay but they always look like crap... webdawg1

You can try your local Nissan dealer...LH Fender #63101-N4700, RH Fender 63100-N4700. Should run you about $180.00 each. You can also try John Harris at (301) 423-6930...Last I heard he could still get them from some undisclosed source... You can get the frame rail/floor pans fron Zed Finding at the following url: http://www.datsunzparts.com webdawg1

Damn dude....I don't feel so bad about how mine look now...()...Nothing that can't be repaired...it's just going to take a while that's all...Take your time and do it right the first time... webdawg1

I found a TPS kit on eBay last week. Thought it might be a good thing to have on hand should I ever need to replace the TPS connector or the pins inside the connector or the wiring boot for the TPS. webdawg1

Saw a decent looking tank on eBay just a couple of minutes ago. It's for a 1976 280Z but you could probably press it into service. Would have the tank redone as it looks like it would need it. Outside looks really good tho.... Ebay auction number #130089291259 webdawg1
