I recently purchased a 260Z 2+2 and the previous owner is hesitant to supply the paper work... I do however have the cars old number plates, please see pic, these are not South African plates. Do any of you guys recognize them and which country are they from? (I suspect the car was imported, which means licencing it in SA might be quite difficult).

Hello Fellow Z Car Fans, This is my first post and question. I purchased a mint RED 1971 240Z in July that is factory stock in all respects. My mechanic told me that the left rear McPherson strut has leaked out all its fluid and needs to be replaced. In looking at the Black Dragon and Motor Sport catalogs they only list gas struts as replacements. So my question is ..To keep the car as original as possible should I replace them with an oil filled strut and where is the best source for a quality strut..OR are the gas struts so superior in ride quality (not to harsh riding) and no body will know the difference any way?? Thanks for any response from those who hav…

I posted a thread here regarding this, and one of the members thought I might be able to get some better answers here. I won't make you all read that 5 page long thread, so here is the gist of the issue. After buying the car and driving it daily 60 miles roundtrip to work for about 2 months, it suddenly started dying without warning. Sometimes it will restart immediately, sometimes I have to wait an hour, or overnight. Most recently, for example, I drove it on Saturday all over the place for about 1/2 hour. I started and stopped it multiple times, got gas, etc. and it was perfectly fine. The next day i went to drive it to a local car show and I made it about 500 feet befo…

I usually don't drive my z for long drives, but today was a nice warm day.I drove from Los Angeles to San Fernando valley and back with no resting time in between. On the way back I caught traffic, in total about 1 1/2 hours of driving at about 90 degree weather.when I got home I parked the and turned off the car. Once I got off I heard a sizzeling sound and noticed coolent coming out of the front bumper.the coolent was coming out of the resivour, I waited till it cooled down and checked the water. The radiator was a little low from all the coolent that rushed into the resivour.how can I tell if it's the thermostat, head gasket, water pump and why did it overheat.

Hello I am new to the forum but could really use some help...I bought the car I had and loved as a kid that I missed for the last 30 years. After 10 years of searching I found a 77 280z that needed quite a bit of love....8 months later I want to get it inspected and make it legal. In Texas I have to have High Beams and mine don't work. Is there a relay? Can't seem to find much out from Haynes book. The turn signal switch would not stay in the "right turn" position (another Texas DPS requirement) after taking it apart I removed the spring and it works fine. The high beam switch is sealed and I doubt I can find one at Auto Zone. I have replaced the lamps and if there …

Hello everyone, It's been awhile since I've posted. I parked the 73 240z with 2 year old rebuilt ztherapy carbs about 2.5 months ago. Its been hot, I've been busy. I started it a few weeks ago and let it run for awhile. I have been putting off driving it untill I change the oil. I just tried to start it to change the oil. It wouldn't start. I have gas up to the top of carbs. It will start for a second using starter fluid. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanx in advance for any replies. obx
