    Quick intro: Hi everyone, I’m new here. I own a 1978 280Z 2+2 that’s practically completely OEM. It actually has a lot of the original parts on it still in good condition, and I’ve basically been going down a list of replacing/updating things to try and make it future-proof. It runs and drives...

    Im restoring a basket case mint 83 280Z plus II and I have come to the gast tank installation. I can't find the sealing ring, I would image it is some sort of rubber material that is gas proof. any ideas on the location or creating a gasket out of what kind of material? thickness is key I would...

    One of my front headlight bulbs went out. I want to replace it with the same type of warm light bulb, as close to the original as possible (which means incandescent). I know incandescents are now illegal I guess, especially in California (they give out fentanyl for free but I can't buy a...

    My issue: Car was driving normally, no issues. Then while cruising on the highway, suddenly felt like I lost power / response from the engine. Response would return once car hit below about 3000 RPM (lower gas input); though returning now running roughly at any gear. From my observations: If...

    Hey, I need some help trying to figure out what's wrong with my horn set up (as it is not sounding) and how to fix it. I started by checking the fuseable link from the alternator which is ok. I then checked the horn pad switch contact which I cleaned and appears ok. The connection from the...

    Hey everybody! First forum post so apologize if it's a bit rough😂 I'll be moving to the North Texas area by the end of the year and decided that it's finally time to begin a project I've had my mind on for a while, swapping a small block Chevy 350 into a 280z/zx. I definitely do not plan to...

    1977 280z. Removed the bccd, used a block off plate, gasket and rtv. Now when I turn it on... it instantly idles at 2200 rpm. What do I check for now? It was already going bad, it would hold the rpms to high for to long when in neutral or shifting. Besides don't need it

    Hi everyone, I recently started getting some strange misfires in my 280z; The car starts perfectly fine cold, and runs great for one or two minutes, then starts to misfire in low rpm and idle. It only seems to be happening at <2000 rpm, and only after driving for a short period of time. The...

    So noticed last second that I was missing the woodruff key for the harmonic balancer. Got in installed it... but kinda made a small scratch... does it matter or am I good to keep going? I'm thinking I'm good to go... but doesn't hurt to ask. Did some light sanding so it's not rough.

    Getting ready to install rings. New at this. Noticed the oil expander ring has a wire running through the middle... the old ones didn't. Do I go ahead and install like that? Or pull wire?
