Sorry to butt in like this, Where did you guys buy your RB's? I am currently looking to purchase one for my Z.

Hello all, I replaced the clutch master and slave cylinder's on my 1977 280z and bled the system, the clutch fork moves about 1/2 of an inch however the clutch does not engage at all. Any ideas on what my next step should be?

Checked the AFM Plugs they appear to be connected (they do not snap just kind of sits) [all of my plugs are like this, AFM TPS, Injectors] The fork moves about 1/2 to 3/4 inches when the slave pushes it. I have pictures on my phone but I need a new battery to get them off.

"line onto the water cock" mhm But, honestly there is not any room up in there!!!

New Update: Swapped the AFM boot and now the car will not start up.... I am not sure what the problem is.... Damn finicky EFI system!!!! :/ Replaced Clutch Master and Slave Cylinder and Bled the lines... clutch still is not engaging so I guess it is clutch time. (woohoo?) I guess this is the Z life? lol.

Called the girlfriend over! She got it done quick! (little hands!)

The ECM is good al the tests came back positive and the injectors ground out nicely. Thanks though!!

LOL :^) Im 19 and its a pain!

PO murdered the vacuum system. Bought all new vacuum line yesterday 6 feet of every size hope this is enough. And some black silicone to attempt to repair the afm boot. Thank you guys for all the help! ALSO. Is there an easy way to put the clutch pedal clevis pin back in???? Jeez or is it some sick initiation ritual?

Quick update, tps and afm are fine. I suspect it is the afm boot as it is cracked.

I will check this out when I get home and post the results and take some photos!

When the car is cold it will rev up strong but it seems to hit a "wall" When the car starts to warm up it will not stay running.

Distributor cap, plugs and wires, oil + filter, radiator flush, gas tank flushed cleaned and sealed, Haven't checked the grounds nor connectors I will have a go at that tonight. Fuel pressure at the rail (right before it after the filter) is around 34 psi.

Will do later tonight when I get off of work, It was red, I have no idea why they painted it orange (house paint at that) After I get it running the plan is to go white with it. It was a steal at $200

Hey all, long time reader and lurker here on the HybridZ forums. Always had a dream to buy and build a S30 series. Finally bought one. 1977 EFI 280z. When I got it it wasn't running, messed around with the ignition system and sure enough the PO had the firing order backwards, then fixed the fuel problem (new lines / fuel pump). Now here is the dilemma, it idles fine and has correct fuel pressure. However, it doesn't want to rev up. The tachometer is either unhooked or broken I am not sure. So I cannot tell you when it cuts out exactly. I have the FSM and EFI Bible! Thanks guys look forward to getting to know all of you. -Brendan
