ok turns out im a moron. When i pulled the wires under the car to connect them to the new pump it ended up pulling the bullet connector under the seat apart. good times! One more question... does anybody know where i can get an aux. air regulator for that? Nobody has em!

yeah I'm sure its not the polarity.. i took off the fuel line while cranking the motor over, and watched the fuel in the line. Didnt budge... before it stopped starting, the motor would sometimes cut out while driving... losing all power. But then would start right back up again. wtf? Its annoying the crap out of me!

Hey guys i was wondering what would cause me to not get power to the fuel pump? This is on a 78 280z... totally stock. I replaced the fuel pump, and still nothing. I'm getting pulse to the injectors, and im getting spark... just no power to the pump. Could it be one of the sensors on the motor?

Hey guys hows it going. Lately i have been noticing that my 78 280z has been shutting off while driving. Ill be driving, then slow down sorta fast, and the car will just slowly bumble, then shut off. Also, if im driving, and i take a sharp corner the motor will instantly shut off, then start back up by itself about a second later. I am totally lost. Full tank, half tank, quarter tank... does it every time. Any reccomendations?

For some reason i think my 78 z is running rich. When im sitting there at idle i can smell raw fuel, and the idle misses and bobbles around. Then when i rev it up to about 2 grand and hold it there i can hear slight backfiring, and pops coming out of the exhaust. Then i let off completely and it pops and burbles back down to idle, only it drops to about 100 rpm and acts like its going to die. what do you think is the problem? Thanks guys

I'm getting a 5 speed from my friends 82 280zx

(78 280z) Hey guys, im aquiring a 4.11 rear end, and a 5 speed transmission. I was wondering how much better will my acceleration be if i go from a 3 speed auto-3.54 rear end, 70 series tires. To a 5 speed-4.11 rear end, 60 series tire? Will it be noticeable? Thanks guys! Also, whats the average going price for a r-200 4.11 rear end? I dont wanna get ripped off.

Hey guys. I have dealt with this since i finished the car, but i think its time i fix it. That little blue indicator light stays on no matter how many times i click the hi beams. Also i noticed that the only light that seems to switch is the drivers side one. The passenger light just stays in low beam. Also when both lights are in low beam the right one is a little brighter. All your ideas are welcome! thanks guys

you get the pads out by removing a cotter pin from one side of the two sliders, slide them out then just pull out the springs, and pads. The easiest brakepad removal i have ever seen.

Hey guys its been awhile since i have posted on here so here is a little update. The motor that took me so long to rebuild is finally done. Acctually, i have almost 2,000 miles on it! So anyways. It seems to idle pretty high (950ish) and when i blip the throttle in neutral it just dies when it goes to settle back to idle. It sputters then just dies. What in the world could be causing this? Sometimes instead of dieing the idle goes reallllly low then it takes a second for the motor to catch back up. Its very odd. thanks in advance guys

yeah one thing i noticed about z's is that they only sound better, and better as the rpm's increase. its "zweet". Almost sounds like a european sports car. Very pleasing to the ears if i do say so myself. Who needs a sterio when you have open exhaust?

today while at work my buddy was jetting around in his 240. just sorta messing around. He has a MSA exhaust, and it hangs SUPER low to the ground. As he was entering the driveway i heard a loud scrape. Then the exhaust got really loud. Turns out it bottomed out, then ripped off the exhaust from the downpipe back. Man, did it sound SWEEEET. It was loud as all hell, but sweet. It makes me want to run open exhaust. but im sure the cops would have a fuss.

what i did at a pick n pull was just take off the starter, and jam a pry bar in the flywheel teeth. It worked great. The only bad thing is that i only had a open end wrench :dead: . It took me and my buddy brian (big guy) half an hour to get that fookin thing off. Took allllllllllllot of kicking, and hitting with a hammer. Luckly it finally came loose. I still have a fat scab on my arm from when the wrench slipped, and the fan pulley studs met my skin. This was almost a month ago...

so i take it that it would be too much of a hassle to mount up the 240 struts/springs to my 280? would i be better off just buying the a 280 setup? Thanks for the feedback guys

I told him today about how they wont fit. Telling him that I was told on a forum i go to. He got all mad and said that "he obviously doesnt know what he is talking about". What makes it so they dont fit? I need to shut this guy up. Thanks guys
