    Odd noise while driving. Need some help.

    in S130 Series - 280ZX

    Hey guys,

     

    I need a few pointers here...

     

    I have a 81 280zxt, it runs great, idles fine (most of the time) and is bone stock except for full 3 inch to 2.75 exhaust.

     

    The thing thats puzzling my atm is when I start the car up, it sounds like a normal Z does.. I hear an ever so slight chatter from the valves but it's not obvious unless you are really listening. But when I actually take the car out for a drive it's a constant ticking fest and it comes and goes when ever I give it gas and let off. It's quite noticable and extremely annoying.

    I never noticed it before I got my exhaust finished, but it's worlds quieter than it was and I'm assuming it was there but I just didn't hear it.

     

    Also, I've checked for exhaust leaks and didn't find any.

     

    Any ideas here or is it just my valves going bad?

     

    The only thing that confounds me is that the car drives fine other than the annoying sound.

    have you checkd if its coming from the turbo? had that problem with my car when i first got me l28 in my s30... turbo wasnt getting any oil then burned up

    Z at last

    Hey guys,

     

    I have been waiting a long time for this post.

    After scouring the Internet for almost a year, considering shipping from CA, AZ and beyond.

    I have finally found "The One" in my own back yard (Boston/Quincy, MA).

     

    For the record I have been on Craigslist every single day searching in a 250 mile radius for the perfect S30.

    At 7:00pm on March 5th 2010 I bought her.

    ok i tried it and it does the same-thing... wont start.

    before i changed the harness i took my light test to check every wire on the 81 turbo harness and all my grounds were grounded all wiries seem ok (12 volts). except one... on the plug for the AFM their are four wires, three of them are together and one is to the left or right depending how your looking at the plug. that one is getting negative and positive at the same time.???

    so i took out both of my harnesses (stock and turbo) and everything was ok. then i changed the 81 harness to the 83.

    i spend hours on the forums trying to figure out how to wire 83 EFI harness and now it wont get spark and that same wire still has - and +

    Now i went back a step... what do i do???
