Hi all, Thought I’d put together a bit of a thread to help anyone doing a Datsun 280z EFI to Weber conversion, or even swapping carbs for Webers on the earlier Z’s. There is heaps of information on the process, but it's here, there, and everywhere, so this will hopefully bring it all together...

Hi guys, me again doh! Sourced a new AFM for the Z which seems to be working fine which is great. What I did notice is that the car is now idling really inconsistently. It's all over the place. Here is a couple of video of the idle, recorded one after the other it sounds like it loses a...

Hi all, I got my 280z back up and running with a replacement pump and filter, however, I took it on a loop around the estate and it cut out when I blipped the accelerator and then released it. The flap on the AFM had got stuck 60% open, so I tapped it with a hammer which released it. I then...

Hi all, wondering if anyone can shed any light on the problems I'm having with my 280z! My 280z was running great on Friday, then on Saturday it wouldn't start and I had to jump start it a couple of times throughout the day. I gave it a good blast throughout the day as there is still some old...

Hi all, I'm looking for some info regarding the rear brake lights/housing on my 280z. To be road legal in the UK I know that they have to be orange, but do I need to change the actual lenses or just get some orange bulbs? If I need to change the lenses, can I change them individually instead...

Hi all, looking to upgrade my rear control arms on the Z, I know T3 have a good kit, however, I have also found this kit from Silver Project, any opinions? The silver project kit is considerably cheaper and you can get a full front and rear kit for the price of the T3 setup, however, never heard...

Hi all, Currently on the hunt for a nut and bolt kit for my 280z. I've found these two listings on eBay, one of which was from a previous thread I've read on the forum, but there's at least £50 different and they're both from Aus. It seems like the lengths and grades might be different too...

Hi all, this is my first post here as an owner! I finally pulled the trigger on buying a 1975 280Z back in May from Mike aka SacCyclone (what a great guy). I had it shipped from California to Manchester UK - arriving yesterday morning. I have plenty of ideas for my Z and I'm sure I will be...
