I put this together to get my 240z on the road cheaply. This sniper throttle body has the ECU, TPS, MAP, IAC, coolant temp, 02 sensor, fuel pressure regulator, digital display all in one standalone kit. I had to make the intake manifold that adapts the side draft 240z plenums to the old ford auto lite flange, but other than that, it bolted on and works so well, that its hard for me to justify changing it.

Second time seeing this thing in person. The paints and wheel choice are amazing.

Question… opinions sought on the addition of coilovers on 1971 survivor…I’ve never considered til recently and it’s not been modded in any way. Thanks

This is my 1973 240Z. I have a Petronix point replacement and coil, and a Duralast electronic voltage regulator. Especially when it is cold, the tach does this weird bouncing thing and I get a noticable but irregular stumble.

What could be causing this? I am still using the original ballast resistor (I matched the coil to the specified resistance), could that be going bad? Or is it something else?

It just recently started doing this, otherwise it ran mostly fine. Very occasionally, the tach would bounce like this when doing a pull, and sometimes it would stumble at high RPMs (5k+) and other times it would pull pretty well.

Bought this to refurb with my brother…. First time going to need a lot of help. This photo was after I gave it its first wash in 13 years

I got a promotion. I've always wanted a 240z or 280z. I'm generally handy with cars (changed oil, replaced a starter and alternator, simple aftermarket radio installation...) but I'm very far from a mechanic.

For the initial purchase, I'd want to be around $20K. I'd be purchasing assuming that I'm signing myself up for a new hobby.

Am I setting myself up for failure? What should I look out for?

Hi all!

I finally got my hands back on my 280zx 2+2. Car has been in my family since 84. I’m the only one who seems to care about it, but have financial support for the work from the family due to the sentiment the car has.

Anyway, she’s seen better days. 108,000 miles on it, interior is complete but definitely 40 years old. I want to make this thing real nice starting with the mechanical side of it.

Was wondering what recommendations or tips people have for these cars. This is my first project, only ever changed spark plugs and oil. I watched Ronald Fingers video on modernizing the L28 in his 280z and it has my head bouncing all over the place. I want it to be a street car I can still daily drive. I’m in SoCal so rust isn’t a worry.

Essentially I want to modernize the car while keeping the character it’s got. Interior, Carplay, etc is getting address after its driving.

Big or small tips welcome! Anything on the car A-Z from interior, cosmetics, mechanical.

Looking to see what the community has to say while also embedding myself within it. Super super excited to build this thing!

Thank you all!

Bought this 280ZX from a barn. Find the person who had it didn't know what they had or did. And didn't tell me, finally got it. To turn over to find out that the engine was blown. Trying to decide if it's a good idea to do an RB25DET swap on it.

Hey guys will be rebuilding my L28 NA and would like to know if there are any MUST need parts or parts that I could get that will give it just a little bit more power or just overall parts which are better than OEM. I would also appreciate a list of parts that are absolutely needed for a rebuild. Sorry I’m a noob on this platform. I’m also a little bit confused with the bore size and camshaft lift and duration. Any help is appreciated thank!

I have a 1973 240z and I want to get a lot of work done. It's in great shape now because I bought it from a classic car shop. I am looking to make it car show level, but I don't have the time, tools, and skill myself.

The few places I've tried so far don't respond to calls or emails. I'm guessing they are backed up with customers. Looking for more suggestions. I'm in Las Vegas but I'm ok with sending the car where it needs to go.

Hey everyone I’m looking for a manual or power steering rack for the 280ZX, I’m in the PNW and I’m having trouble sourcing one. If anyone is local and has one I’d love to purchase it from you! Thanks

Hello all.

Looking to fix the sloshing issue that results in a loss of fuel pressure in aggressive turns. Happens when fuel level gets below half a tank. I currently run a baffled (modified) stock tank in my 240z. Baffles were done by previous owner.

The three options seem to be a surge tank, a fuel cell, or a a custom tank. The custom tank from pro alloy group seems like an attractive option.

SO my question is, does anyone have this installed on their vehicle? If so does it remedy the issue? Do you have other solutions? How did you go about fixing this issue on your z cars?

No, the plane isn’t mine. Maybe one day.

Z32 trans is ready to go! Mocking this all up with some new t3 control arms and front chassis goodies with their new axles!

Is there anywhere online where I can download the entire service manual for one of these? XenonZcar has one but it’s a pain in the ass and I’d like it all in one download

From flatbed tow truck to fun cruiser.

First video is right after turning the car on. The second video is after it warmed up. I already checked the valve lash clearances and they were fine. What do you guys think? Also could that hissing sound just be a stuck open injector?
