Hello all. Ive been having a few problems with the running of my 260z recently. The engine likes to cut out on me on a regular basis. I worked out some time ago that it was a fuel problem - fuel wasnt getting to the carbs for whatever reason. It appears its been a combination of problems from...

Hello All Im having some problems with my 260z throttle linkage. The bit right near the battery where the movement changes from going along the bulkhead to being inline with the carbs (hope that makes sense) anyway, the problem im having is that the little "metal" ball keeps poping out of...

Hello All, On my list for today was to sort out the various bolts holding the wings on along the inside of the engine bay. The situation was - several missing and the rest just odd random bolts, one even had a torx head. I decided to remove the lot and see what the threads were like. To sum...

Evening All After some consideration and several recomendations im going to replace my 260z ignition coil. Im wondering if anyone has any recomendations on what to replace the one i have with. Is it worth me spending a few extra pounds to get a "performance" one ive seen so called coils on...

Hello All Today has been one of my not so good days. I took the day off of work so as to get the 260z MOT'd after its many months of going back together. The short story is that after about a mile it conked out and never started again. Throughout the evening ive managed to edge it closer and...
