I was just wondering if anyone has had any recent contact with Zedd Findings. I'm trying to order floor plans, and you have to send the request to order before you can actually order, and then they're supposed to contact you. Well it's been a week or so now and I haven't heard anything back. Do they still exist?! Thanks!

I haven't had a chance to hear it yet. My interior is in pieces and the stereo will be the last thing to go in. As soon as I hear it I'll let you know. Do you have any pictures of yours?

Yea! It's in a 1975 280Z, right behind the seats. Or where the seats would be, but I'm doing an interior restoration at the moment so it's gutted. It fits behind my seats, and I have a knock off set of Corbeau's, and they're huge. So there would be even more clearance with factory seats.

I know it's not about the radio, but I made this subwoofer box out of MDF to fit behind the seats. It houses two 8" subs. I wanted everything to be out of sight. Still plenty of room to lean the seats back! http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg19/john655/photo4.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg19/john655/photo2.jpg

Thank you! Wow. Seems like it's gonna be a problem to find one for a 75.

The driver's side window regulator in my 1975 280Z is completely trashed. I looked around on eBay and the only one I could find is for a 1977-78. Is there any difference in the 75-78 regulators? The pictures look the same, but I'm still unsure. Thanks guys.

I agree with pizzaman. This looks like something fabricated to move air to either side of the rotor. Maybe?

I've had my '75 280Z for almost exactly a year now, and have been driving it daily for about 7 of those months. I've found the interior to have great potential to be awesome. Seeing some of the amazing work that members here have done to their interiors has brought me to be dissatisfied with mine, which is mostly plain and stock. Don't get me wrong, I love the raw experience, being drenched in fumes, and the smell of the 70's. There's nothing else like it. But it's time to upgrade to a more modern, updated, and comfortable interior that's more pleasing to the eyes. It's also time for it to be cold down here in Texas, so the Z won't spend too much time awake these days. A great time to redo interior! I have completely stripped it down to bare metal, of course finding rusty floor pans in the process. I want to do it one time, and I want to do it right. So through my research I have compiled an estimate of the ballpark cost of restoring an interior. I know this is a very broad project and different people will have different opinions and put different products in their interior, so this is based on my own personal project. For anyone wondering how much it might cost... Zedd Findings floor pans - $300. Baddog frame rails - $170 Speedhut 5-Gauge kit - approximately $700 (Speedhut) Interior vinyl replacement - $130 (MSA) Sound deadening material - $180 (Summit Racing) Molded carpet kit - $220 (MSA) Interior door hardware - $80 (MSA) Center console - $180 (MSA) Corbeau Forza II seats - $600 for both (Corbeau) Seat brackets for Z (unless you fabricate your own.) - $200 Already $2760. This list was compiled off of the top of my head without a whole lot of thought. Not to mention door panels, kick panels, stereo equipment, pedal pads, steering wheel, dash recovery, rear view mirrors, windsheild mirrors, POR-15, and whether or not you do the labor yourself. And everything else that I'm forgetting to mention. So remind me that when I can't find my wallet, it's because it ran away. It must have heard me talking to a friend about the next plan; the SBC swap.

I heard a rumor that there is a bell housing/adapter that will merge a V8 with your everyday s30 5 speed. It may be completely untrue, I wanted to just put this out there. Yay or nay? If it doesn't exist, it should.

Thanks for the replies. That kind of makes me mad at Energy, haha. Why would they make them oversized like that?! Arghh. Well, time to soak them in WD40. And then burn them. Thanks guys.

I ordered the Energy master poly bushing set from eBay a while back, and have slowly been installing each of them piece by piece. I've noticed along the way that they are a bit over sized from the OEM bushings, alot more dense, and they are a pretty tight fit. It's been a pain in the @$$ on the ones I've installed, but never as bad as the one's for the rack and pinion. They are IMPOSSIBLE. It's like you need a tool to compress them into the rack. They are almost 1/8 inch too wide on each side to be able to slide in. I have no clue as to how to get them to fit. Has anyone experienced this problem?! I could grind on them to get them to fit, but that just doesn't seem like a correct solution. Thanks!

Sent you an email.

Strut mounts found, thanks for your offers guys.

The factory setup, except Tokico struts and lowering springs. The lowering springs just didn't quite get it to where I want it to sit, and I just refuse to cut coils off of them.

I'm looking for 240Z strut mounts (spring tops, caps), front and rear, to lower my 280z without cutting brand new Tokico coils. Let me know if you have them! Thank you. John, TX
