About 13 months ago I parked my 240z after a short test drive. A few days after I parked it I believe there was transmission fluid on the floor. I checked the dip stick cold and it seemed good. I Have not been able to get the car to actually start to warm it up. But the immediate problem is when I put the car in neutral the car still seems to be in park. It is stuck. Cannot roll it. I know this is very limited information, but there are a lot of experts out there. Any suggestions. Thank you in advance.

Can I change my 240z (1972) AT with a 4 speed AT from I think a Datsun Maximum. I was told the drive train is the same and that the two drive trains are the same except the 240 is a 3 speed and the Maximum is a 4 speed. Or is this a dumb idea

I know that there is plenty of information on the Honda wiper upgrade for 240s but I am having a difficult time figuring out the wiring on my 78 280. I have tried wiring it with and without the "parking" relay and cannot get it to work either way. If anyone has information on how to wire this in I would greatly appreciate it. Also, I have attached an album of the pictures of the wiring harness and wiper motor. Album.

I am giving up trying to fix my 280z fuel injection problems. I am thinking of bringing my car to SoFlo Z Club in Boca Raton. Has anyone on the site ever used them? I couldn't find any referrals on the web. Just trying to get a heads up idea of what they are like to work with. thanks Curt

The driver side sun visor in my 5/71 240Z has the droops. It just won't stay in the up position. Is there a hack for restoring the friction necessary to keep a visor from drooping? Didn't find any fixes when I searched the archives first. Thanks

I thought I start a special thread on a recent development on my Z. Absolutely beautiful day today and perfect for driving the Z. Pulled it out of the garage and I noticed it was running very rough. It didn't really hit me until I tried to accelerate away from my house. Engine was weak, and running rough as if a cylinder was down. Hmmm....ran perfect last time I drove it. The only thing Ive don't since last drive was to pull the cold start injector and test it ton make sure it wasn't the cause of my running rich condition. I put it all back together as it was but when a problem developes its prudent to inspect the last item you touched. So I drove back …

My 1978 280z that I have owned for over 20 years and was the reliable car I have ever owned. About two years ago it started giving me problems. It would stop for no apparent reason like the key was turned off and would not restart for about 20 to 30 minutes then I would run fine. It turned out the ECU by the drivers left leg was bad. I replaced it and the problem went away. It would run fine and occasionally it would run rough and stop. Some times it will run great and the next time I try to start it it runs very rough and smokes white smoke and will not run over 1200 rpm. The next time I start it it runs fine. The last two times I drove it I ended up having to call a wre…

Driver's side wiper arm is marked M761 LD100-L, passenger side W621 LA87R. The plastic wiper blades (the hard plastic part not the rubber wipers) keep failing where the plastic connects to my wiper arms, especially on the passenger side. Who has a recommendation for *metal* wiper blades? Driving somewhere soon where it might rain.

I am in the process of installing the 4 speed transmission and rear engine insulator / mount on my 10/70 240, but can’t find any information on orientation of the parts. There is an arrow on the side of the insulator. Is this supposed to point to the engine bay? Also, the mount / brace has two indentations in it. Should these be to the back of transmission as it’s placed in the picture? I took tons of pictures before and during disassembly, but apparently not the pics I needed. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thx, Greg
