Hi all, I am sure that I am just missing something simple here, but I want to ask before I get very frustrated. Finally getting the rear suspension together and am having an issue here. I have searched all over and I "think" that I know the issue, but want to make sure. The front diff mount is about an inch and a half forward (to front of car) of the actual bolt holes. I "think" that the M-Bar is on backwards, but want to make sure. The diff mount is reversed on the x-member, but still not close. Here is the pictures: I assembled everything yesterday with the M-Bar in the opposite direction. Everything lined up fine, but the M-Bar was BEHIND the rear traverse lin…

hello, just wondering can anyone recommend some type of adhesive that would work like magic to fix my passenger side door handle. most people probably had the same problem as i did if they replaced or repaired their door handle, mine snapped on plastic part where the lever connects too. i know most will say just to replace it, but being from canada, it takes for ever for parts to get shipped here, not to mention sometimes it gets held up in customs. i am trying to look for the cheaper alternative, i tried some products called "cold weld" but that doesn't work, it looks like after it cures it does, but when you go and try to test it out and pull on the lever it just snaps …

I have a 1972 240z that I have restored the body and interior. The car has 58,000 original miles on it and I want to have the engine rebuilt, new brake system and suspension put on it. Does anyone know of someone in the Atlanta, GA area that really knows these cars?

OK, guys. Need some experienced help. Bought a new filler neck for the winter tear-down. You know winter tear-down, the time when since she's off the road and you might as well do the stuff you've been putting off because you don't want to waste good driving weather (replace the antenna mast, replace the LED in the radio, add the equalizer, R/T diff mount, half-shaft U-Joints etc, etc,). Been getting a whiff of gas on a fill-up so figured this would be a good solution for a 40 yr old part. Have heard horror stories about the difficulty of replacing the neck. Plan is to drop the tank, replace the sending unit, re-plumb some of the PO's vent hoses and the filler neck. Is i…

well my lights are acting a little funny cuz when i turn the light switch to the parking lighrs the both arrows that are in the tacho turn on and the front 2 parking lights and the left corner light are off then when i use the blinkers this 3 light that dont turn on start blinking and i already check the wiring,the bulbs and the fuse box but no luck finding a solution to this problem and i think my last resort is to find another hazard switch since i heard that they go bad and that all the cables for the lights run thru it. also one thing that i noted is that when i bought my car it came with the pull switch rather that the flip up switch (my car is a 1972) so i dont know…

Hi everyone! i recently decided to repaint my 240z. I first got the car when i was 17 and now i'm 18. I though it would be cool to restore one of the all time classic. I've spent lots of hours on the car since i just started with it. -The first thing i have to do on the car was to make the engine run, first i remove the engine head and put it to a machine shop and resurface the whole engine head, then they told me that i have to buy new exhaust and intake vales, it cost me a furtune to get it running. -second i respray the whole car with flat black, at first it looks so cool but when i go crusing with my friends and look at their car all shinny, with nice body kit, so …

Hello everyone, Z newbie here again requesting help. I got my Z running again although it was running very, very poorly. I bought it back in December and it had been sitting since '03. The previous owner said there was old gas in the tank and so I drained it, filled it back up and after changing everything from the plugs to all the 'pumps' in the engine bay, I ran it for a while. I recently changed my fuel filter because my Z was not running, seeming to be starved of fuel (delayed response when stepping on gas, 'choking' and jerking when I floor it.) Anywho... I was very surprised (not in a good way) when I removed the fuel filter I put back in December, when I noticed it…
