280~Master

The Lone Ranger and Tonto were at the bar drinking when in walks a cowboy who yells, "Who's white horse it that outside?" The Lone Ranger finishes off his whiskey, slams down the glass, turns around and says, "It's my horse. Why do you want to know?" The cowboy looks at him and says, "Well, your horse is standing out there in the sun and he don't look too good." The Lone Ranger and Tonto run outside and they see that Silver is in bad shape, suffering from heat exhaustion. The Loan Ranger moves his horse into the shade and gets a bucket of water. He then pours some of the water over the horse and gives the rest to Silver to drink. It is then he notices that there isn't a breeze so he asks Tonto if he would start running around Silver to get some air flowing and perhaps cool him down. Being a faithful friend, Tonto starts running around Silver. The Lone Ranger stands there for a bit then realizes there is not much more he can do, so he goes back into the bar and orders another whiskey. After a bit a cowboy walks in and says, "Who's white horse is that outside?" Slowly the Lone Ranger turns around and says, "That is my horse, what is wrong with him now?" "Nothing," replies the cowboy, "I just wanted to let you know that you left your Injun running."

z3crazy, Got the Z bug when I bought my first car on my own. 1977 California model 280Z for 1200.00. Wish I still had her. Darn thing cracked a head and I had now way of fixing her so she got sold. Bad choice very bad.

Very true stephen. Alan if you need answers this is the place best on the net hands down. People here have seen it or done it so feel free to ask questions. Even if the question seems a little crazy someone here has probly been there done that. Good luck and happy Z-ing

I have no idea where this place is located. I would advise you to jump on any 280ZX's that you might see, due to the 3:90 rear end. P.S. Don't jump so high that you miss the car though.

David for Boogieman we need to apply most all term. NLA= No Longer Available. Boogie be careful of the reverse flow containment meter it sometimes backs up and will cause major problems with your flux injector located under the dash. Happy Z-ing

z3Crazy, Where is this car at?

XL this will fit my fat belly for sure. To bad the pic looks like it was pasted to the t-shirt.

Here is a pic off a stock 280Z. They do hang off a bit, about an inch.

Sorry to say it Arne but that find is terrible :surprised , with it having that sunroof along with that wired set of wheels you should sell it to me or just shoot yourself for buying it. I can't believe you bought a car that has an interior like that. The carpet is so dirty it looks BLACK and that sunroof has got to be automatic, or its going to hurt your fingers when you open it. Do the door have auto windows or auto door locks at least? Arne I thought you were smarter than a 240Z, after all 240's are only 36 years old. :nervous: What the heck are you going to do with this car? All I can think of, is drive it around and show it off. Na, really though Arne congratulations for finding suck a piece of beautiful work. I hope she will deliver the heart pounding that I feel when I drive my 280Z.

What is the part number on it?

I have 76 280Znon-turbo and run about 135MPH stock. You probly have the R200 3:90 unless PO changed it. The 3:90 came in the cars that had no turbo. I'm guessing to make up for the smog and weight. As for the light staying on, I have no clue. P.S. I too am an F-body fan. 89 I-ROC/original/cherry/350 and90 RS/original/305

You say the mech found a stuck boost control? You never stated that you had a turbo in your car. This has confuzed me? Do you have turbo or not?Glad to see the mech fixed the problem though.

You guys are so wrong for not being straight with the new guy. You should all crawl under you Z's and pry for the Z GOD's not to punish you. Boogieman seriously, Here is a list of Oil/Lubricants you need to worry about, Yes they are in order of importance. 1. Motor Oil 10Wx30/10Wx40 2. Transmission Oil (ATF for auto Transmission or 80x90W for manual Transmission) 3. Brake Fluid 4. Anti-Freeze 5. Differential Oil (80x90W Same as Manual Transmission) 6. Wiper fluid (5wx10) 7. Blinker Lub (5wx10) 8. Window Grease (to keep the glare off) 9. Heater Motor Lub (5wx10) 10. Gauge Liquid (can get at any parts store)

I have a car thats cheaper than that for sale and is probly in better condition. Mine is a 76 280Z and it has been keep garaged most of its life. I only want 3500 to 4000 for mine. I have even put some nice mods on it. Where across the country is it?

Which rims are you talking about the AR's or the 5 slots?

Darrel, I did use a vise to press the bushings in and took just enough off to get it fit between the ears. I still had a little play. I may have gotten the wrong door pin kit who knows. Thats why I say do it right with right peices.

I would guess that you need new bushings for your shifter. It is a very easy job and you can buy these plastic bushings for almost nothing. Don't do the door pin mod that people claim works so good. It doesn't work all that great. Just get the parts from Nissan if they are still available and look at blues site for instruction. {url}http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/shifterbushing/index.html{/url}

You can plug that BCDD and not have a problem. It doesn't do much. As Cozy said check those links but you may also want to clean the throtle linkage. Make sure its not sticking also you can adjust the screw under the throtle body and make sure your TB is closing all the way.

TomoHawk, You have got to forgive him he has been smelling exhaust fumes from a Datsun for over 30 years. I don't think he knows you can put a list together so the songs play as you want them to play and not alphabetical or numerical order.

TomoHawk, My Clarion says to do this. Now I know that every stereo is different but this should help guide people in the right direction. Play list mode This function allows you to play tracks, up to latest 5 time stamps, by reading the play list information written on the disc. 1.

Great Holly2456, Sorry to hear about you selling a Z but try the classified section.

It would take probly 1 Dual Layer DVD. Now on a regular 700MB CD you figure 200 songs per CD thats about 5 CD's. While running or on the bike it would be hard to carry though I wonder if you can listen to the Ipod while doing the DEW I have just bought a new portable DVD player for the cars to help keep the kid quiet while driving around :nervous: This is one of the best investments. It plays DVD, Kodac, MP3, DIVX, XVID has USB port and other items for it. What is great about the DVD player is it will plug into the stereo via RCA cables and play what I want it to out of the speaker syatem. Try doing that while doing the DEW The hardest part of my traveling is trying to figure out what songs I want to put on a DVD or CD.

Not double jointed been working on these cars for sometime and have taken many of them off. I guess I just know exactly where they are under the manifold. I do have medium sized hands so this helps. Have busted studs and used an easyout with head still on the car.
