I need some help on my 82′ 280ZX
IM having problem with my brakes. the pedal feels hard, as if I didn’t
have power brakes. even if I push very hard, I still CAN’T brake as it
should, I don’t think I can even lock the wheels if I sped up fast
enough and slammed on the brakes. IM afraid to drive it in real traffic
until I figure this out.
I thinking it might be the brake booster. I DID check the vacuum and it
is strong, I don’t have a vacuum gauge, but it still seems Ok to me.
the one way valve also appears ok, but IM not sure if enough volume is
going through the valve. if I blow through the opposite end, it does
close.

I am seeing every week almost new 350Zs for sale in the paper.  Mileage
usually is around 3-7k.  I don’t see the same situation for S2000s or
Corvettes.  Are there problems with the car, or is this owner
disillusionment because they can’t live with the car.

Hi all.  I am in dire need of a Vacum diagram.  Got engine rebuilt,
but need to find places for vacum hoses

Looked everywhere and crappy haynes book doesnt have a adiquate
diagram.

Any help appreciated..

If anyone has the actual service manual and wants to take the time to
scan and email me a image of theres, please let me know how to get in
touch with you and i’ll gladly pay you for your time.

Thanks

My GF’s 1998 Saturn SW1 needs the fast idle adjusted, when cold, it revs
up to as high as 3,000 RPM’S Way too high. After about 30-45 seconds of
warm up, It slows down to a normal 800 RPM or so.
Are there any specific steps I need to know? if not, where would I find
the adjustment screw?
I want to make sure I do this by the book.
It has 50,000 Miles and the only maintenance I know of is the serpentine
belt change. So IM assuming the plugs and other tune-up items haven’t
been changed

Ill be doing a tune up on it in the next few weeks.
Plugs & Wire set
Rotor (assuming it’s NOT distributor-less)
Gas filter
Air Filter
Radiator Flush
Transmission/Transaxle flush (Or is this FWD tranny sealed? requiring no
maintenance?)
Any other maint. tips?

sorry, this car is new to me… lol
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

My ’93 300TT needs upkeep and my friendly local mechanic
-tho he’s a great guy who loves my car- simply isn’t
well versed about Z.
I have no love for the nearest authorized dealer: he only
admits to fixing Nissans when pressed & his fees are punitive.
I pine for a local mechanic with some skill and lots of passion.

I’m 40 miles due north of NYC in Goldens Bridge, NY 10526.
Please plug your guy if he takes good care of TT and charges fair.

Thanks, Pham

I would be really thankfull if you could tell me a good aftermarket
racing clutch and short shifter for the 350z.
Thank you.

Hi, just bought a 1985 auto ZX(non-turbo).  I can see getting a reader and code book is important unless you want to go to poor house.  My car started cutting out at around 2000 RPM or more(at least this) and I read of another, same year having this prob.  Haven’t analized much as just happy to get home.  I will change air and gas filter etc, but it’s probably not that, ’cause that wouldn’t cause it at an exact rpm range?   Anyhow, where’s the cheapest reader, where does it plug in and where’s the code book?  I went to a site mentioned in archives but it wasn’t active.  You’d think this was a common signal(cutout 2k) but after searching and reading posts, I guess it could be anything.

Thanks, John in Ca.

I heard a rumor that all ’04 Z’s are wired to plug XM radio directly into
the unit without having to modulate the signal. Anyone know anything about
this?  I have a ’04 350Z Roadster and want to add the XM radio.  I was also
wondering if anyone knows what it would take to add the factory GPS to a Z
that did not come with it standard. Had the same question about adding the
tire pressure sensors to a model that did not come with them from the
factory. Any help is appreciated.
