Seattle Z shop?

I’m moving to Seattle soon and I was wondering if anyone had any good
suggestions about a good place to have work done on my 280Z.  My first
order of business is to get a new exhaust system installed.

Help to beat speeding tickets in the UK – The Drivers survival Handbook

The Driver’s Survival Handbook
What every driver Ought to know!!

How would you feel if your driving licence was taken away tomorrow?? Doesn’t
bear thinking about does it??

And yet with more sopishticated detection techniques being employed by the
police – radar, cameras, and the like – the chance of losing your licence
grows by the day.

The Drivers Survival Handbook is written by a retired UK traffic police
officer with over 22 years experience. In 21,000 words of hard information
he details the legal loopholes you can exploit to keep your licence clean,
and money in your pocket.

If a police officer wanted to stay ahead of the motoring law, this is the
‘insider; information he’d use!

280ZX 1981 Air Flow Meter

I have a 1981 280ZX with 50,000 miles. Sometimes, car will not idle at a
steady speed, but will vary from 500 to 1000 RPM. I believe that I’ve
isolated problem to the Air Flow Meter that is "binding" slightly near its
idle position. (Instead of closing smoothly to its proper position, it seems
to overshoot that position and close too much. Then it opens too much and
keeps repeating that cycle.)

Is there a way to clean the AFM to get it to operate smoothly again? I would
like to avoid replacing it if possible.

Also, does anyone know of a conversion from the mechanical AFM to a hot wire
Air Mass Sensor for this model? I looked for one at Motorsport, but I did
not find anything.

Re: my z stalled Dead ( soon to be living in my Z)just keeps getting better

Well some of you may have seen my original post.
My mechanic thinks it’s the timing belt cuz the disributor(rotor)
don’t turn.He wants to try replacing the belt , I think that might be
a waste of time.I ‘m gonna get an engine ouyt of the salvge yard. I
found  a real nice 87 wwith 91k miles on it. The thing is the salvage
yard gy is trying to tell me it’s a real hard swap because a lot of
things are different. Is that true? I have an 86, Both are non turbo.
Thanks

cutting off 280 zx

hope it is ok to post it here i have been everywhere and still no results, I
have a 1981 datsun/nissan 280zx 2×2 and what happens it just cuts off after
it warms up, it only happens in the summer months, after it gets about 80 or
so then the prob. starts, no warning just shuts down, starts back up most of
the time on the firs try, at high speeds it’s ok most of the time, if i am
traveling about 20 or more all i need to do is just trune the key off and
back on and she is going again, and other times it will cut off and I do
nothing and it will just fire back up on it’s own i need help help please
any responce  and I will try anyting at this point.
ps. I have replaced the enging and it still has the same prob. the old one
blew up. so it was a compleat exchange,
