CArFAn Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 So i havnt posted in a while since i have been enjoying driving the Z. But since i have had it running i ran into a few little problems. First to start was a overheating that got me stuck in modesto for a few hours blew the thermostat housing gasket apart. 2nd a bad altenator left me stranded down the street from my house at a friends house. 3rd another overheating but not as bad as the first just a few dribbles from the cap. 4th was a a problem at the dmv when getting my car verified. long story short the lady caused me to wait on my tags when she could have gave me new plates and tags on the spot. After all this i got the chance to make the trip from oakland to stockton "3" times with no problems "at all". I am very happy that the Z is running and not breaking down as to keep it off the road for a while. On to the good i just got me a 5spd from a 79 280zx, i know these are not the best to get but its the only one i can find.(if anyone wants to trade for a 81-83 where 5 and Reverse share different forks let me know asap). I also have a set of autometer water temp, oil pressure. My temp gauge only works when it wants to so im getting a new temp sending unit and using the new gauge. Thats about it for now. Oh last thing i met a Z guy at pick n pull during the 1/2 off sale he is a member here and has multiple Z's. Him reading this might make him post idk. Well im out. Further explanations or ideas for a problem i have let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
