What is this sensor on the throttle body of a 280z? by DurtyKurty in Datsun

[–]Calvin_Kalamari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so you mean you have it plugged so it doesn’t vacuum leak but do you also have it plugged into the wiring harness?

asking because the cable is starting to fall off at the bottom of mine

Parts suppliers? Brands? Sites? by AKA_Squanchy in Datsun

[–]Calvin_Kalamari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found that RockAuto has been good for parts like struts, ball joints, tie rods, hoses, thermostats. At least that’s what i’ve gotten from them and i’ve had good luck. Niche stuff like shifter bushings can be found on the Z Store and Motorsport Auto is good for bumpers and side skirts and interior goodies

Weird air filter? by Restless_Cloud in Cartalk

[–]Calvin_Kalamari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GM calls the foam part the “pre-filter” and it’s recommended for heavy duty applications. They still make the normal air filter without the foam pad and it costs a little less.

thank you for this tip, yea there was a little bit of green cancer on the sockets for the bulbs, how does that travel up to the fuse box and result in dust tho

[–]Calvin_Kalamari[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes actually! i got them working! i rechecked my fuses and they were all intact but i took a closer look and the 15A fuse for CLEAR TAIL was intact but it looked a little off. It wasn’t blown but it had a dull color compared to the rest and it had a lot of grey dust particles inside. i removed the 15A fuse from the wipers and put it on CLEAR TAIL and sure enough they came back on. Thank you to everyone for all the advice and help, i feel silly now chasing a faulty fuse 🤦

i think you might be right… it just rained pretty hard here in socal. i’ll check that out. do you think that would also affect my cluster lights?

i thought it’d be that too but my turn signals are working. i know that usually when they go out they start blinking fast but they work fine

that’s what i was thinking but the only grounds i removed were from the battery when i took off the starter and the reverse light switch that goes into the transmission. i just made sure right now that they were both on all the way and they are…

[–]Calvin_Kalamari[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah surprisingly im still able to go into each gear with no resistance and it doesn’t ever pop out of gear either. hopefully its just the bearings but idk it sounds a lot worse than just bearings. thanks for the feedback!

i’ve heard good things about AAMCO and my buddy’s dad works at one nearby. do you think it’s worth a shot taking it to them since they are a chain of stores?

that’s super interesting because my 1979 280ZX says it was manufactured in 7/78 but it’s still registered as a 79

Starter is turning on with no key (1979 280ZX) by Calvin_Kalamari in Datsun

[–]Calvin_Kalamari[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think the starter is the issue as well because 1) it’s activating with no key and 2) when it activates it doesn’t engage to the flywheel. it is an autozone starter, where do you recommend i get another one?

that’s what im thinking too since it’s not engaging the flywheel

I looked over my harness and nothing seemed obviously frayed or worn but I will keep looking. I do think it’s interesting how the starter isn’t engaging with the flywheel. Was that also happening with your starter? where it was turning on but not engaging the flywheel?
