280ZX Stalls and Restarts an Hour Later
When it's running again pinch the fuel lines, checking to see how hard they are. If you can squeeze them fairly easy then there's low pressure. Check the supply to the fuel filter side and then the output to the fuel rail. Won't add any cost to that high price you paid.

- Bolts, washers, lock washers
I bought that bolt kit for my rebuild. It's labeled and individual packing made it a breeze putting things back together. I will say some of the bolts are too long and bottom out so be careful when torquing. I remember the oil pump bolts specifically. The manifold studs have allen wrench fittings on the ends for a good tight install. keep your old bolts for comparison and use anti seize to smooth out the new stainless threads. They are a bit course compared to the OE bolts.- Carb Pre-Heater Duct Hose

Hey there. The site is still up, http://datsunzgarage.us/ Thanks @w3wilkes- datsunzgarage
There's a very good and friendly member here that copied all that stuff. He's a computer guy named @heyitsrama I think! If it's not him I can find it when I'm back home, he posted it in a thread I replied to.- Oil pressure gauge
Sounds like it's going to ground, or more sensibly sounding not going to ground. here's good read. No teflon tape and bad sending units abound.- Oil pressure gauge
Mine doesn't do that, 240 or the 280. They stay down like the temp gauge.- Rear Bumper Installation questions
I put a set of chrome bumpers on mine from futofab and am very happy with them. The rear sides were a little bit of a pain getting the bolts lined up. I used small rubber washers between the paint and the mounting flats to keep from scratching. Bought stainless carriage bolts from Lowes and buffed them up to match the chrome. I would've sworn they were from Vietnam but they could've come from Taiwan? It was written on the boxes but as usual I took no photos of the trash but plenty of them once they were mounted. I bought mine on black Friday and got a good deal. No rubber, no holes just thin chrome bumpers.- 750=510+240=Oh my eyes!
They had to add the back windows when they came out with 100s.- Ressurecting my grandfather’s 280z
Ask about the curing time for the Red-Kote. I've done two and both needed about a week baking in the sun. The directions say to not put fuel in until you no longer smell the liner's chemically smell. They may have a way to bake it though? The car looks great!- Ressurecting my grandfather’s 280z
And they are way easier to change than the rear wheel cylinders. Price is about the same too. It'd be cool if you could spend a few dollars and get it road worthy, drive it and hopefully keep it but sell it with the neat story and one owner car if you decided to sale. How about some pictures?- 7" brake booster repair and restoration

Closely follow the prescription, "take 4 to 6 every one hour". I'm a little dyslexic.- What tires to get tall & big NO RUBBING
I was told 205/60 were the largest without issues rubbing. That's what I have. You could plug 205/50s in the calculator and see what it says. I'll get those next time around if they'll work. Go to MSAs website and look at the 15/7 Konig rewinds, scroll down to tire size and see what they say. I believe that's I went by?- 7" brake booster repair and restoration
Is that when you get your prescriptions filled? Get well soon Steve. We all hope for a successful and speedy recovery. Cliff- Ressurecting my grandfather’s 280z
Here's a cheap way to see if your tank is rusty. They are around $3.

Ah man, you didn't use self-tapping glass screws. 8^(- Head ID?
That small mound around the plug looks a lot like my E31. My early E88 has a more pronounced hump but that could easily be ground down. I think you are right. Nice looking head in my opinion. Grinding the code off could also be a clue. Someone trying to pass an E88 as an E31?- 73 240z fuel starved with mechanical flooded with electric pump
Mine runs great with the mechanical pump only, 2 round top SUs. Yours should too after you get the floats back to normal. It's hard to imagine a high pressure Holley on my 240. Fuel would be leaking out everywhere. I had the Blue ones for my boat motor, set at 3.5psi. They were fantastic pumps, noisy as hell but I knew it was running.- Home Built Z 'Full video build'

'73 automatic for $3,200. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/224104808219824/ $3,200 Driven 48,565 miles Automatic transmission Mechanically sound, ready to drive or for someone to finish restoration. This car has been in the family since 1984. It was reupholstered, painted and in cherry condition in 1987. Poor thing sat for 20yrs here in Central Oregon before coming to me in 2007. I won’t get into the time and money I’ve scraped together in order to get it where it is, but I’m done and hoping to find an enthusiast to take over.- Stalling issue(under throttle)
Try clamping the return line and see if it stays at something constant. - Bolts, washers, lock washers
