280z 5-speed into a 240?
The lower geared r180 is square looking. Taller r200 is more rounded. I put a wide 5 speed with the oe r180 and really like it. 70 to 80 mph on the interstate is 2,000 to 2,500 rpms. That's the only time i use fifth. It's like having the oe 4 speed around town. Great looking car btw. Glad you joined the forum. Lots of info and even more nice folks. Cliff

resurrecting a 1977 280Z
It's a beatiful but quick dance you have to do but so much better than a radiator shops do. I honestly believe the week of natural curing is the best.

Swapping to f54/p90
File that end off that doesn't go into the hole on the cars side. O into a D and they'll drop in. If I'm thinking what you're saying. If not I'm arse-suming.

Swapping to f54/p90
Same problem with the mounts here too. I ground mine down to a half circle looking pin. There's enough in the hole to keep them in place. From what i read the mounts now are all universal and work fine on 280s. 240s need some massaging. Mine were Beck Arnleys. Good luck.

Fuel pump issues - Elec pump controller
I haven't done this, I run just a mechanical pump but it's a good read. For some reason I'm thinking @Jarvo2 made a change or two though to something better? http://jarvas240z.blogspot.com/2013/01/electric-fuel-pump-installation.html

RPM rises after warming up.
When you google always add "classiczcars.com" at the end and you'll find what you need. Our past threads will show up, you'll get your answer then. Best of luck!

Sad but true. No buses or taxi service around here. If it'll crank and roll you're good to go.

My mistake. It's the brake light in the gauge that wire causes to come on. Sorry.

Brake Booster Failed, couple questions...
I hung my masters in place from my garage ceiling with some nylon cord then removed/replaced the booster. Easy enough but the nuts above the brake pedal were a real pain to get back on. Took a couple of hours but saved some dough ray me. Got my rebuilt booster from amazon.com, painted it satin black and glued the Bendix red sticker onto the new one. Looks original too. Good luck!

Hazard switch & flasher help '72 240z
Yes! And just out curiosity, apologize if already answered, have you checked 12 volts at the brake sockets? I'm pretty sure there's a wire or something on the hydraulic distribution block under the masters that will keep the lights from power???

Totally agree with you! I know I missed out on a lot of happiness in my life but I'm glad I won't be worrying about my kid/kids having to live through the misery. It ends with me.
