I just bought a 1978 Z my first Z that I have owned. The engine is clean and the previous owner had kept her paperwork in order. Other than needing a new battery it seemed to be running fine until tonight. There was a faint clicking sound that got a little louder for just a few seconds and then it shut down. When trying to restart the car it made the standard starter clicking sound and would not turn over. Does anyone have any ideas? Trying to figure out if it is within my pay scale to fix myself or if I need to take it to a shop?

This came up on my marketplace feed this morning. If someone's interested I could go take a look. Rough car but for the price, if you're into turbos, it might be worth it? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/724567265137565

I just bought this SCCA 1981 Datsun 280zx for a road race car. IMSA WIDE BODY. Body is not perfect, needs TLC. Centerline wheels with good rubber. Front disc brakes, rear drums. 5spd. The motor cranks, but is knocking. Bottom end. Appears to have a racing intake, polished valve cover, header, exhaust, fuel injection, air intake, strut tower brace, fiberglass hood, tach and interior pieces. I have the title, but it is an Oregon salvage due to Theft. I am selling as is, title included if you want it, but I don't know what it would take to get a NC title. My loss. Will part out if not sold complete. Please email any questions and I will try to get the answer for you. Pe…

I learned a new trick yesterday thanks to ALLDATA. I had never heard of this one but it works really good and it's easier than the test procedures in the FSM. The full test requires a gas anaylizer for complete and acurate results but you can test the O2 function without it. This is word for word curtesy of ALLDATA: 1) Disconnect the oxygen sensor pigtail and connect a high-impedance VOM with the positive lead on the pigtail and the negative lead to a good ground. 2) Start the engine and let it warm up, if equipped with an air injection system, disable the system so as not to get false tailpipe readings. 3) Grab the disconnected wire that goes fron the oxyg…

Wonder if anyone can help me find the cassette that came with the 1980 10 Anniversary 280zx, I have the cassette holder but the actual cassette went missing. I also could use the original owners manual for this car(1980 10th Anniversary 280zx) as the one I have someone removed the 10th Anniversary emblem from the front cover. I have all the documents i.e window sticker, warranty books ,repair manual, original tires etc and I would really like to find the items noted above. Thanks in advance for your help.

Need some help from my fellow ZX friends - Still looking for the cassette tape that came with the 1980 280zx 10th Anniversary model - I have the cassette holder but not the Tape itself would appreciate any help getting a copy of this tape. I see a number of 10th Anniversaries on U-Tube that are low miles etc so these fellas must still have the tape but its impossible to contact them as there are no addresses etc. Thanks in advance for your Help.

Hey guys. I know I haven't been on a awhile but its because I have been busy restoring my Z. I finally got all my body work and painting done but I've ran into a problem. I cant find any 10th anniversary wreath decals for my car. I was hoping some of you guys knew where i can find some, or if i can get a good picture of them with the dimensions. I think i could find someone that could make me some if i could just get a good picture and the dimensions. i will post pictures soon of the whole restore process. Thanks in advance.

I have a 1976 280 Z. I was running well until I took it to have an oil change. Since then it has not run well at all. I assume that it is just happend at the same time. I have checked the fuel pressure. I have 32 pounds of pressure at the filter both with the engine running and not running. I ran Seafoam through the system and checked the compression. I have 125 to 140 on 5 of the six cylinders. The 6th one has on it. I need to recheck it to make sure that I didn't miss something. I have drained the fuel tank and changed the fuel filter twice since it got. I sat for ten years before I bought it. The car will run until it warms up and then it looses power and b…
