    280zx Coolant leak

    Hoping that someone can identify this component in the photos (280zx). One is taken from underneath the car. It appears to be leaking. I thought it was just a joiner, but it has a plastic part below (maybe filter?) Thanks

    Manifold Gasket

    Hi, I wonder if anyone could advise which way round this manifold gasket should go? Its made by Apex. One side has silvery edges. I'm tempted put that side towards the head. The other side has smoother rounded edges. Thanks in advance

    Ticking Noise Investigation

    An engine ticking sound developed from my 280ZX engine last year, which was gradually getting worse and the engine did not sound at all like a straight six should. Most advice was that the ticking noise was an exhaust leak (correct it turns out). All methods for detecting the source indicated...

    New Member with 280ZX

    Hi, Just thought I would introduce. I have recently bought a red 280ZX. I owned one in the mid 90's and loved it (bought it from South West Z Cars Ian Haithwaite?) . I sold it to try and restore a 240, but it beat me! Not until now I've been in a position to get back into zeds. I'm very happy...
