I would have to say thats big possibility , if the throw out bearing was bad it would make a humming if the car was in neutral atleast thats the expierence I have had, I could be wrong about this but I don't ever recall switching clutch forks when putting in the 5 speed tranny, sounds like the car is engaged partially <in gear>weither the clutch depressed or not , I did have this issue before in a car and it was not the tranny or clutch but another part incorrectly installed

Hey Brandon what does the borla sound like?

if you go to panasports website I am sure they have other dealers than msa http://www.panasport.com/

always used NGK on my Z's as well as the honda , never had an issue with them

I also wonder what exactly sorta speed are you trying to shift into first, I would only do that is you were very close to a complete stop like the speed you could push the car by yourself would be ok but like 4, 5 -10 mph is not gonna work , and 280z is correct as well about reverse , but the the best way is not to downshift to 1st til you are at a complete stop or damn close to it. Great ideal on the oil , i think I might change mine now

good point Enrique i just went a bit extreme after the finger issue

I would first check the clutch to see if its bad , the easy way is to start off like normal and at about say eith 25-35 put the car in its highest gear and floor the pedal<gas> if the engine revs up but doesn't pull or pulls slowly its most likely the clutch starting to slip , from what you say I would next check the shifter bushing if you have alot of play in the shifter , sometimes if they are very worn out it will make it difficult to put in gear , but I would also start looking for another tranny for the possibilty of bad sychros , good luck

I got the burn on my finger to prove its a good Ideal , clean the back of the fuse box and spray it with an inhibitor got my clean and spray inhibitor at home depot and works great , good luck

as written above check for breaks in the cover of the wire as well as at the socket , look for green buildup on the connections and inside the socket, another aspect i would consider would be checking the fuse box under the ashtray for a lose wire or maybe something that accidentally got in there, also check the back carefully for green build up or burn areas, clean the terminals with the fuses out of the box , only takes 2 minutes to remove it BUT REMOVE THE NEGITAVE SIDE OF THE BATTERY FIRST

Talk you out of it?, a low number 70 with good pans I think 2k is very reasonable if not an outright deal, wish I had another garage for a 70, unless you don't have room I think it would be a great buy

yes I have that on vhs tape somewhere, let me look for it I wanted to put both on dvd soon , I will let you know

hhm I need to read my threads first ,and fix the broken keyboard the show was on them redoing a pair of 240z's for more power

Ok I watched the full throttle show on them red the pair of 71's , but did anyone see that the cars were both automatics? Kinda disappointed they would use autos , also I don't agree with the holley carb usage. But atleast our Z's got more airtime which they so richly deserve, also the show has some neat old video and pics , Jeff

I see no prob with overbuilding a car as long as you use things that are equally good as the car as in parts, but its alot like keeping a 240z stock or building a 400hp turbo screamer but get you to the store to buy beer just depends on how fast you want to get there, but I was gonna shove a bigger or overpowered motor into a car I would stay with something japanese , just my 2 pennies

I have owned both , I like the sound of both as well, the turbo one sound more like a indy car/ v8 motor where the sound of the targa had more european , old aston / ferrari sound minus the singing of the webbers, but both setups have headers. The turbo one is not quiet and I got that one because of the large diameter pipe and targe is like under 2 diameter if I am correct, and the turbo is 2 1/2 , I do like the look of the targa better , but work well but it all depends as wel if you are leaving the car stock as in motor wise . but I am sure you will get lots of feedback on the sounds of the two . But leaving the factory manifold on I would go targa,Good luck

ok gotta keep this a funny in some way, so who makes the best drag queen? personally Edwards gets my vote

I have a install guide for an eletronic distributor that might help if you want it pm me with email address

if you pm broken74 that my brother , he is very good at fixing door / lock problems also there isn't alot of parts that go wrong in there atleast on the 240's . rather simple system, doubt its too serious

might be something very simple, mine did the same thing and the rod had just come loose but you have to be sure first

Well sounds like you are gonna go into politics if you are gonna be selling &#036;^&#33;#, 280z. By the way calling all Americans those names you have included yourself as well as every canidate on both parties, so now that you personal choice lost we are all those things you said. Doubt you even voted.

check the galleries I think you will find several examples that will help you , good luck

Jeff pm me and I will email you a trouble shooting guide to getting it working. Its an installation guide to the electronic ignition, Jeff

Marc , I don't appreciate you calling me an asshole, baby killer or a &#036;^&#33;# eater. But as Americans me and you both have the right to campaign, support and vote as we see fit, thats how things are changed. If you dads company went under it will join the many that do including mine, don't feel so special that we need to hear that. As far as the 100 stupid people who told you why to vote they way they choose , maybe just maybe your choice of words just like the way you used them in the thread is what kept you from changing their minds and that is what campaigning is. I doubt you also realize how unselfish it is to give your life protecting the wonderful right you seem to enjoy, the right of free speech. Talk as you may but don't call people things they aren't I take it very personally considering the people I have lost to protect your rights. I actually hate writing such replys in threads

atleast its over
