NamorNhoj Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hey all - I've owned my 1976 Datsun 280z for about six months now, and after doing most of the restoration work myself, I've made the HORRIBLE mistake of taking my car to a local shade-tree mechanic to have my tank refreshed. Long story short, a piss-poor / bullshit job was done on my tank (tank wasn't boiled; likely wasn't coated), already fried one fuel pump, bogs constantly, and most recently stopped starting altogether. My battery is drained, because it seems as if my alternator is no longer cycling a charge back into the battery (ie. dead)! At one point, this con-artist of a mechanic claimed that my fuel delivery problem (post tank "refresh") was an electronic issue, and a key reason I think my battery and alternator are now dead (crossed wiring somewhere??) So, HybridZ - can anyone recommend a respectable Nissan / Datsun specialist in the New York City / Lower NY area that can suss out my car's issue and help put me back on the road. I'm located in Brooklyn, and the car WILL need to be towed (sadly). Let me know! Much appreciated!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I'm sure the local Z-club can help. We have a lot of members in NY and I think Clive (EvilC) is the president of the NYZCC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
