  1. Well I found a shop so hope things will go better this time. Wish I could work on it myself just apartment living doesn't allow that. Thanks for the advice.
  2. I have a 280zx turbo, probably more work than it's worth but would like to be able to have shop look it over. Any one know of a good shop in Phoenix, preferably close to Gilbert/Mesa? A relay has been bypassed, there are some wires cut and some one ran a wire to the fuel pump. I'm going to vent quickly here: It's sitting at a shop now where it's sat for 3 weeks and been worked on 2 hours. After talking to them yesterday to try to know when it will be done and how much it'll cost and them not telling me anything, and my friend that was there with me asked sarcastically "Is there anything at all you CAN DO?". And now they say they aren't going to work on it and I have to get it moved ASAP. Thanks all.
  3. Yep, it was a fusible link. Now on to all the other things she needs!
  4. Thanks for all the tips guys. Lots of PB Blaster and persistence finally got it off. The bar holding it still while cranking was absorbing a lot of the torque being applied, bent it up pretty good! So I thought that was the hardest part. Turns out the outer wheel bearing was in such bad shape that it came a part upon removal. Unfortunately that means the outer part of the bearing is being quite a pain to get out. Finally gave up yesterday, today it's getting cut out. Sure glad I started this job Friday. Thanks again guys. I appreciate you all taking the time to help me out!
  5. Ok I'll try heating it. I'm replacing the grease seal and inner and outer wheel bearings. Anything else that should be replaced or that may be damaged by heating? Thanks for the help guys.
  6. I borrowed an air impact wrench, SOB still doesn't budge. lol Looked so easy when reading over the manual. Gonna dump some Marvel Mystery Oil on it and try to find 5 or six foot piece of pipe for leverage, but yeah it's most likely going to the shop Monday.
  7. I'm hoping to not have to have a shop work on it, it is my only way of transportation. Didn't think it'd be so hard to get it off. Guess if Sunday comes and it's not fixed I'll have no choice though.
  8. Any tips on getting the rear wheel bearing lock nut off? I am using the FSM, and what they call a Rear Axle stand, so the axle is not moving. Just can't get the lock nut to loosen, even using a piece of 2 foot pipe over the socket wrench. By chance is one of the wheels reverse threaded? I'm working on the rear passenger side. Also, the car is a non-turbo, in case the rear ends are different.
  9. It is a '81 280zx non-turbo and has a new alternator but for some reason the battery still drains while driving. I know it is while driving because I disconnected the battery when not driving in case there was a short some where that was draining the battery. Any ideas? Also, tried to post in Troubleshooting but wasn't allowed to create a topic there.
  10. Moby, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I am not getting spark when connected to the dizzy either. Is there a way to test the BIP373 coil driver? If it were bad the JimStim shouldn't show ignition. So that is probably not the problem.
  11. How can I see if MS2 is sending the signal for the coil to fire?
  12. When I set the timing, I found TDC on compression stroke for cylinder 1 by looking where the dizzy was pointing. It did not match up with both valves being closed, as was revealed after removing my valve cover. The car has not started, but had spark before. I used a timing light to set the timing the first time. After I got my valve cover back on and tried to dial in the timing again, now there is no spark.
