I'm not sure about other Z's but I think they're kinda like mine but....You know all that rubber tubing for the fuel rail?? Well, I've had to change those tubes several times and it's definitely not easy and not fun. Anyways, I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about getting custom fuel rails made so I don't have to deal with those damn rubber tubes. That way I can also get a performance upgrade at the same time. I thought about exchanging the rubber tubing with steel braided fuel lines..if they have them...but I think that would be a pain to cut. Well, I just want some thoughts because sooner or later, when I have the money, I want to do something about my fuel r…

Last night I changed out the fuel pump on my '75 280z. I pulled off the hose from the fuel filter to make sure it was pumping fuel. Yep, it works. Now, I re-connected everything and tried to start the car. It caught a few times... but, it died immediately. After a few shots at this and many minutes of cranking.. I gave up. However, I noticed that a few of my fuel hoses were bulging and one of them was even split. It was shooting a fine mist of fuel!!! Anyway, there's something obviously wrong here. The system is plugged and I don't know if this is a sign of bad injectors or not. I took all of the injectors out of the car and I will be replacing them. So, my questio…

Just wondering as to what kind of filters (If any) everyone might be adding in prior to the electric fuel pump on the 75-78 model years. I suppose you could probably do the same thing on the early 240/260 models as well. I ran across an AC Delco unit that will make it quite easy to filter the fuel prior to the fuel pump, as well as changing the filter at regular intervals. webdawg1

I was just wondering if a 1990 240SX KA24E Throttle Body will work on a 1978 280z and if it does what kinds of things will I have to do. I know I have to grind down the manifold and get a spacer but what other things will I have to do. Thanks

I was checking the circuit for the coolant sensor on my 78 280Z, and it didn't check out right: One connector from the sensor goes to the ECU, pin 13, like it should. The other one goes to ground. The circuit diagram shows the second wire going to ground, but when I plug in the coolant sensor with the engine running, the engine stalls, and then won't start again. I checked the circuits according to the EFI 'bible', and the coolant sensor seemed to check out fine. But still the engine won't run with the sensor plugged in So I have the coolant sensor unplugged, and the engine runs extra rich (about 10 MPG). Any thoughts on what might be happening? I put in a new senso…

My ignition coil is leaking fluid/oil out of the center of the ignition coil where the distributor cap hooks up to. Would this leakage cause the car to have a rough idle . Thanks I probably should have posted this in electrical, but I am a nerd .

My engine started running so crappy since I put on the new fuel rail. I thought it was because I 'cleaned' the AFM, and the resistance strip is damaged. I just got a used AFM off eBay, and it didn't help, so I started reading everything. I read that if the timing is off, it'll run rich. So I got a timing light and put it on there. Problem was I didn't see any marks. On U.S. engines the TDC mark is kind of deep so it's really easy to see it. When I put the light on MY car, I didn't see any marks within the timing pointers(the one bolted on the timing chain cover.) So I pulled the coil wire and cranked the engine in little bits to find the mark. After about 15 minute…

OK here is the back story.... I drove the car for a full summer about 4 years ago. Since then the car has sat with about a 1/4 tank of gas. Last summer i started to tinker with it again. The car which is a 76 280Z 2+2 would run when still but when in motion after a few miles or alittle longer would just out of no where start to spit a sputter and die. If I would let the car sit for alittle bit it would start back up again and go another 5-10 miles and do it again. Plugs and cap and rotor have been changed along with the coil. The car sat again until this spring. Now I will get this thing running good again. Last year I did fill up the tank with gas but after it sat again …

I'm pretty sure my resistance track on my airflow meter (78 280Z) is totally worn out, or just really worn. The resistance with the flap closed isn't (near-zero) like the book says, and it doesn't go up smoothly with movement of the flap. I could order a used one, but then I'd have two, so why not have a go at fixing the resistance trip? I think I'd probably need to graft one from another source, like a giant potentiometer or another similar AFM. Or is there a source of material used to make resistance strips? thx

Performance AFM 1 2

Hey fellow FI peeps just wondering if anyone knew of a performance AFM upgrade for the 280. I took my 280 to get its brakes checked and my mechanic saw my pressure regulator and said that i should also get a performance AFM unit cuz it will really boost the power on these things... he used to own one so i guess he knows. Im gonna ask him more in depth about it next time i go in but i was just wondering if any of you guys knew of one thanks.
