Hi, can anyone point me towards a thread or photo on the site that shows the gearbox mount for an automatic Australian delivered 240z and whether it's different to a 5speed manual one. I have an automatic shell but I'm building it as a manual, I purchased the project in pieces (I don't recomend doing this to anyone!) and I've also moved house recently so it will help if I know what I'm actually looking for in the shed. I might not even have one. Thanks!

This is my first post since purchasing a 78 280Z. I picked the car up at an auction and I am in the process of getting it up and running as it came from the factory. The previous owner replaced and modified the existing EGR valve and neglected to transfer the OEM identification number. The replacement I purchased requires an orifice washer be installed to regulate the exaust gas into the intake manifold. The vendor supplied about twenty five different orifice washers of various sizes. If anyone out there, who has a '78 Z with an original EGR valve, can look and see if there is a number stamped on the unit. The number will look like this: 14710-H9810 or similar. I hav…

Sorry to anyone who read my post in "Open Z Car Discussion"....just hoping for an answer if I put it here. The car is a 1973 240Z, and I installed a 280 ZX 5 speed/R-180 (4.11) combo this Winter. Everything seemed OK, until I got the car on the highway for a shake down run. Car is a little tough downshifting from 2nd to 1st, not that unusual in my experience. But the car will not go into 5th gear at all. Just wants to grind, and I was afraid to force it. Its also a little tough getting in into reverse, but does go in with a little effort. I didn't cut the tranny tunnel, the car was built in 10/72, so I don't think I needed to cut it. The clutch/pressure plate/rele…

Hi everyone. My 78 has had a little oil leaking recently. I traced it to a canister looking thing next to the oil filter (opposite side from the dip stick). This part has two terminals on the end, and a connection to it covered by a rubber bootie. Anyway, can someone tell me what this part is, and how serious of a problem it is? Hopefully it's something I can fix myself. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Does anyone have the Nissan part number for the black air ducts that go on each side of the front of the engine compartment? Are they still available new? Mine are brittle and have pieces chipped off of them.

What's the best radiator you can buy for a 1971 240z that looks like the original one(with the fan shroud)? My dad said the ones from motorsport are crap; he went through 3 or 4 of them with his 260z because the kept leaking.
