  1. x2. The gap is just an unfortunate consequence of the placement and function of the hood hinge.
  2. Hey, I am beginning to remove the engine and trans from a 5 speed 79'. Are you interested in the long block? It has 69k and ran strong prior to taking it off the road.
  3. Do you guys have any rubbing when opening the hood? I noticed some of you dropped the rubber strip that runs under the front of the hood.
  4. After seeing them online, I figured what the hell. Once I received them, they were a tad bigger and gaudier than I had expected. The plexi panel was an idea I was playing with, but unfortunately the LED configuration doesn't provide a strong shape. Perhaps something like Vette eagle eyes. Originally I thought the classic mustang setup would look nice.
  5. So I was messing around with ideas of creating some custom tail lights for my 280zx. Anyways I made a cardboard template and was arranging the lights I intended to use for the final install. Let me know what you think of the configuration of each setup. I definitely like some more than others, but I won't put my 2 cents in just yet. The idea was to use the red led lights for brake/turn signal and the clear for reverse lamps. So let me know what you think, constructive criticism please.
  6. I've experienced something similar. My battery hold down came loose one day while driving. I know this bc while driving I lost all power and rolled to a stop on the side of the highway. The power came back upon popping my hood. Not only did my battery move, but it slid to a point where the terminal made contact with the hood. The two started to weld together, and I still have holes to prove it, lol. TL:DR - Hold downs are extremely important and rubber terminal boots are worth the investment.
  7. 2005 L33 (all aluminum HO 5.3L engine)w/ 45k, with everything on it - $1,000 2004 T56 out of a GTO w/ 22k - $1500
  8. Hey, I just picked up a MAF from a 80' 280zx for my 79' 280zx. Before grabbing a used unit I went to autozone to check pricing for a new one. They came back w/ two different parts for my year; one for early 79' ($400) and one for late 79' ($270). I wasn't sure when my Z was made, and the prices were way too high, so I went and grabbed a used one. Long story short after installing the unit from the 80' Z my car runs very rich, 11:1-10:1ish. I was wondering if anyone has used an inline resistor (or even a variable resistor w/ a knob) to lean up the intake charge?
  9. You can attempt what I did as well. It's not finished but you get the idea.
  10. If you are going to make your own alternator bracket you should be able to place it where ever you'd like. Otherwise I'd say mock everything up and make sure the alternator and intake will clear your hood line. With this method there is a chance you may have needed to go with an LS based serpentine setup from either a vette or f-body anyways meaning more $$.
  11. 2x If you are saving some money and sticking with the truck accessories make sure to check out an Area 51 relocation bracket. Otherwise the pulley will be right in the way of the intake.
