    Alternator required

    Rather than a second hand unit. What about this: https://www.z-services.eu/en/alternator/274-alternator-240z-260z-280z.html Used these guys before and service was ok and NOT from the US so shipping wasn’t super silly.

    SOLD: Clutch kits and Lightened Flywheel for Sale - updated.

    Hi. You can fit a 240mm clutch, depends on your current set up. US 2 seater will have a 225mm clutch, the 2+2 a 240mm. But you can run either as long as you have the correct clutch release bearing collar for the size clutch. The fly wheel is configured for a 240mm plate (advert amended) You...

    280ZX - Advice for Starting Problem

    Sounds a bit like fuel starvation. Is the pump making a noise when you turn the key prior to starting it? If you turn the key to the position prior to firing it up, the pump should run for a bit to pressurise the system prior to starting. To check it properly, disconnect the starter (yellow...

    I too have made this discovery after much squinting and complaining my arms were too short to read menus at fancy restaurants.

    Good Friday

    Replacing my clutch - again. Spent all day yesterday mostly under the car on my back finishing off putting the gearbox back in and wrangling the exhaust back into position. Makes me realise I ain’t no spring chicken anymore. If only I had a lift in the garage.

    280ZX 2 Seater Manual on ebay

    Looks to be potential for a project car apart from the aftermarket hole in the roof and the respray. Says the original colour is brown, but looks to have been white at some point so two resprays? With that in mind a very good inspection for hidden rot before parting with that amount of cash, is...

    Car cover

    I’ve always used auto pyjama. Their indoor covers are very good quality. They come in two varieties light weight and full cotton. They also have a nice convenient side zippered door panel so you don’t have to strip the cover off to get access to the interior. They are pricy but good quality...

    '73 S30 Headlamps and Euro travel

    I looked at those as a replacement for the awful lamp in my cousins 1998 Defender last year. But they did not carry an E approvals marking as a dedicated LED unit. Do they have that now? I did contact Dapper at the time and the guy said they were looking to secure approval. However, Im not sure...

    Welcome, nice looking 280ZX. Rockauto are the best bet for everything not an oil filter. There are very few stockists of service parts or any parts for a 280ZX in the UK. Opie oils are good for oil, any good quality 10W 40 will do. Castrol Magnatec or Millers Pistoneeze are good one to think about.

    What did you do to your Z this week?

    Might be worth just checking the carpet behind the master cylinder. I had a similar problem, was a weeping master cylinder. It was weeping inside the car down the firewall behind the carpet. Not saying yours is, but worth a little look.

    Where to service my Z?

    If you have a mind too and prepared to have a go, these cars are simple to maintain. Try servicing it yourself, it’s probably the best way to get to know your car. A basic tool set and service manual would see you straight. These cars are not complicated to do general maintenance and servicing...

    Brake Replacement 1979 Datsun 280ZX

    Hi Ian The limiting factor for a 79 280zx brake upgrade is the rear calliper replacement options. The only viable off the shelf option is a kit sold by Techno Toy Tuning, only issue with it is you will not be able to run 14inch rims with the upgrade. 79 to 81 cars had different rear calipers to...
