78 280z idle problem
If it's brand new I wouldn't do it. You'll have a brand new afm with a zip tyed plasic cover, not a good thing. ?

Car covers
When you recall, call me! CoverCraft has a nice one too but the BRE is tried and tested for many owners I've read. That black stretchy one asked if it's a single or double pocket so i need to call them direct. Their website is horrible, like a damn circus!

you can get a pressure gauge from Lowes in the pool section. It's for the pool filters pressure. https://www.lowes.com/pd/aqua-ez-pressure-gauge/3151541?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-lwn-_-google-_-lia-_-241-_-poolproducts-_-3151541-_-0&kpid&store_code=1640&k_clickID=go_1792976560_68785408469_346853782070_aud-299487635210:pla-416743622626_c_9012730&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrNyVgeyM4wIVChgMCh0LowYKEAQYASABEgLOcfD_BwE

78 280z idle problem
have you pulled that black cover off and tried fingering the sweeper vane in the AFM? I bought one and that thing was stuck by spider webs. 10 minutes and i had a good running '76 for dirt cheap.

can't you just unhook the fuel hose or the 12v clip on to CSV? I guess the 12v clip would be easiest.

Car covers
I can get the BRE for $189 https://www.bre2.net/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=B&Product_Code=080A02&Category_Code=car_covers Or this tight fitting indoor black one that has some good reviews for $160 with a coupon code. It'd be a little harder to take off and on I think but I do like a tight fit. Giggity... https://www.carcovers.com/covers/cars/datsun/240z/1972/black-satin-shield.html#customer-reviews Opinions please.

Transmission leak
Have you gone to the bronze bushings yet? Cheap and easy while the shifters out. http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/shifterbushing/index.html

Trouble shooting
Clamp off the return, builds up higher psi. See if it'll crank then. Good luck!

1971 240z Refurbish in Denver
A good cheap way to keep trash out of your carbs. This is for the larger fuel line on 280s, he uses a G3 but on a 240 the G2s work better. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fuel/g3filter/index.htm

1971 240z Refurbish in Denver
Nice car! Welcome to the classic Z car forum. Hybridz.org calls us "purist". Not a bad classification in my opinion. If that's the original paint a good cut and buff will make it look like new. The two pics in my signature, the one on the left was before cutting and the right was taken after the cut and wax by a pro. I'm too scared to put a wheel on my cars.

Coolant Temperature High?
You can't beat Nissan thermostats! They are the best in my experience.

Coolant Temperature High?
Here's where mine gets with no air flow at all just idling in my garage. 240Z with a larger 280Z radiator and full shroud, half antifreeze with the other half distilled water.

Clutch not fully disengaging
Are you using the OE 4 speed or has it been swapped out for 5 gears? That's where the collar heights come into play.

Rusty hole
Yep, frame rails are nice and beat up. First I'm going to fill that hole in with something yet to be determined (I'll have to do my homework). I may just leave it as is and sale it right before I kick as an original survivor. Hopefully we'll stay out of harms way? Tuscsloosa is about 2 hours from my house down a pot hole filled interstate I-59. I believe I'll wait until Tennessee ZCON next year to see you and Cody. Thank you though! Cliff

Rusty hole
I knew this was there just didn't know how severe it was until today. Had my exhaust tweaked a little better and while up on his lift I took some photos. Passenger's seat has one all the way through. It had leaked out the heater cores water c o c k for years apparently and caused this. Will new floor pans take care of this? Thanks in advance. Cliff Driver's side, not as bad... Rest of it...
