Update: Apparently the new ignition switch I bought was faulty. Replaced and it seems to be fine now, I can't get it to replicate the issue anymore. Also, the new switch has seemed to help tremendously with the hot restart issue I was having. Hmmm...two birds with one stone!

You have already far surpassed my build! Looking great Wheee! The body work looks amazing.

Yeah this was temporary. I am planning to rewire and install an oil pressure switch and wire the fuel pump to that. But I figured I would try and fix this problem first.

I will try that this weekend. Thank you very much!

Will do, thanks

Has this been a problem in the past?

Yes, I will double check tomorrow, but I am pretty sure its the same circuit that I have my MSD ignition system wired to. I will try and test spark tomorrow as well. Thanks

Yep still have it. Working out some small issues now. Maybe that will make me want to keep it!

Hey guys I am currently working out some issues with my 75 280Z. The EFI has been removed and replaced with carbs. Lately I have been having some random starting issues. It doesn't happen all the time but once in awhile it will crank but not turn over. I have narrowed it down to the fuel pump cutting off during starting/cranking. Currently the fuel pump is wired directly to a 12v ignition wire from behind the ignition switch. I hooked up a volt meter to this ignition wire and usually 9 times out of ten, it only drops to 10-11 volts during cranking...but every once in awhile it drops to 0. When this happens I can look at my fuel gauge under the hood and it drops to 0-1 psi, which causes the vehicle to not start and just keep cranking. What i've done so far: tested for other 12v ignition sources - same result replaced ignition switch - same result replaced voltage regulator - same result oh, and all the wiring has been removed, cleaned, terminals replaced if needed, etc... Anybody have any suggestions?

I got back on here just to check up on your build. It's coming along great! Fantastic work. I was too scared to do the finish work myself, but you're making it look easy! haha

Thanks buddy. I miss working on it!

Thanks! I got it from MSA

I used the U channel trim.

He's back!

Not yet. I still need to do a few final things to make it ready to sell. I am running 15x8 Rota Rkr's with a 0 offset. Tires are Dunlop Direzza 205/55.

Will do Mike, I appreciate it!

Agreed. The amount of time and money of taking pictures, creating an ad, or trailering it to an auction is definitely a factor. It would be really nice to just throw a sign on it and sell it. You never know who will drive by and see it.

Thank you sir. You bring up a good point with being a 280. It should be interesting to see what a fully restored 280 will go for compared to a 240. I guess we will see soon.

Thank you very much Mike, sorry it got out of hand so quickly. Also FWIW, it was never my intention to use this thread as a selling tool.

Thanks Jeff. Curious....how did you end up finding a foreign buyer? Ebay? Was there any pains with shipping and customs?

You could always have two Z's.

Thank you sir. I wish there was another way too, believe me Iv'e thought about this for awhile. I do realize that I will regret it eventually but i'm willing to make the sacrifice. Besides I regret selling pretty much every car I've owned . If you can find the funds I would be happy to make you a great deal on it. I know you would appreciate it more than anyone. I would hate to sell it to some douche that throws it in a garage somewhere and doesn't truly enjoy it.

Oh man, don't cry....you're going to make me cry

Thanks again guys. I'm going to post it on BaT and see what happens. It may take me awhile to take some more pictures. Much appreciative of all your advice!

Thanks man. I will let you know if I end up going that route.
