Well After flushing the entire brake system and changing all fluids I took it for a ride. Man even without a 415" stroker motor like im used to in one of these cars its still a blast to drive! I need to get a new Collector/ Y pipe is it best to get one fron a junk yard or have it custom made? thanks, will

well with all your advice and expertise she is RUNNING! and pretty good to! The exhaust is all rusted out but it runs good. I ended up having to replace all rubber fuel lines including those at the tank, and the heater hoses. I took it around the block a few times but it needs registration. The brakes feel good but Im gonna bleed and flush the system b4 I drive it any further. thanks for all the help and great ideas on things to do before firing it up. will

So I decided to put air in the tires the front went right up to 30 no prob then I went to the rear and right about 22psi it blew up in my face! It scared the S&*T out of me but aside from my ears ringing for an hour or so I was okay. So what kind of oil should be used in the carbs? I am assuming I fill it up through the black knobs on top? Last night I found a folder of old service records (previous owner was the original) In the top of the pile was the receipt for a complete tune up including vavle adjustment, carb sync, cap, rotor, plugs, points, wires, and oil change. Along with replacing radiator, hoses and thermostat. And according to the service record this was also done about a 1000milxse ago but then it sat. They lady that gave it to me said she had a new motor put in it about 10 years ago. thanks or the help and I will keep you updated! will

Well I picked of this 1972 240 with a 4 speed. First off I got it for free and second it hasnt been run if five years. So what should I Check? What would be the best manual to get for working on this engine? I know fresh gas is a must but what else? I went to press the throttle and it was stuck so after looking at the linkage I found the shafts were seized in the carbs! after spraying with PB I was able to free things up a little. thanks for any help, will

Man that would be great I thought it looked like the unscrewed I just didnt think to look up top I thought I was gonna have to drill em and use an easy out. thanks, will

Hello I got another z and that the previous owner was gonna set up with a solid rear axle but sold it half project. I however want to go with an r230 rear end. The problem I have is that he cut the studs that hold the mustache bar flush with the frame. How do these come out so I can put new ones in? do they unscrew? thanks, will

So has anybody tried this bolt on kit from moder motorsports? thanks, will

Hello I am looking for a good double adjustable drag shock for the rear of my 75 280z. I have the car up at a chassis shop and they are telling me theres nothing on the market for these cars as far as drag racing. Last time at the track I managed an 11.80 1/4 mile at 120MPH with 235/60R15 tires in the back, these made it impossible to actually floor it for the first 60'. I am upgrading the tires and hopefully shocks. I now have a NHRA roll cage installed. I am using the stock rear end right now. They quoted me at about $2,400 to put a fully built ford 9 inch and accessories. But I am not sure this isnt a project that I wouldnt like to tackle myself. thanks for any input, will

Hello all I just got a 78 280z given to me for free. It has the straight 6 fuel injected motor. It starts but idles very poorly and revs verrry slow. I am not familiar at all with these engines, but know carbed v8's pretty well. What are some of the first thinks I should check It feels almost like a fuel problem. I plan on doing a chevy 350 swap for it but in the mean time I would like to get this engine running good and see what I can get out of it. thanks for any input, will
