Hey guys i was wondering if yall knew a good body shop in Las Vegas, that wouldn't rape on price.

Thank you again RebekahsZ Im still learning this car, but the main problem is I dont want to break anything so Im a bit nervous when working on it. I used to work on my 240sx exclusivly but I would break stuff while fixing stuff (but also that was without the help of a forum)(nico kept deleting my name) But next time hopefully I can get that beater 300zx up and runnign so I can spend the time taking my car apart, I was thinking of doing the prep work for getting my car painted. Oh and what was wrong with the car was the bearing went out and the lugs where all bad, added with the smog, oil change wheel aliment 570

Thank you all again for keeping this post alive. I am planning on using the 300 as a beater until she dies, then for parts. Im not going to get the R200 done until the 300 untimely death. I believe yall that the WHP is too low for upgrading the dif. But sadly I had to get emergency work done on the 280z, I had crazy noise (poping) and waable coming from the front drive's side wheel. The machanic told me that it was the bearings and the lug nuts (the treads had worn completely down. So Im currently 1200 dollars down 600 to fix the bearing, oil change, smog, aliment, and nuts. Then another 600 for the 300zx. So right now im still going to throw 1000 in the 300 for my daily driver while I get the 280 up to prefection (whatever that is) Also thank you for the information about the haltech and LSD I ment to say I have a high flow oil pump sorry for the misinformation. Lastly Vegas is cool but the problem is high crime (car theifs) and super bad drivers everywhere lol Edited: Oh and Im going to the machanic to sure up the dif

UPDATE::: i was able to get a 1985 300zx turbo t top for 600 so right now the 3000 upgrade is being put on hold till i can get the 300 road worthy hopefull it will only set me back 1000 bucks the fuel system is crap (bad gas, need the tank dropped) and someone throw a brick threw the window lol but jury riging it up i got the engine to turn over an idle by building a fuel pump assembly in the engine bay if all goes well it will be at my mechanic by monday so 600 bucks for a decent beater and if it blows up i can use it for parts what do yall think?

thank you to all that posted. And i was not trying to be an ass........about the dif yall have a good day

thanks for the replys i have the 1975 (whatever month) the dif was the same that they put in the 260 which if im not mistaken is the r180 i was actually thinking about getting a haltech or megasquirt for a future Turbo set up

Ok im a long term luker on this site, finally made a profile to see the pics and post Ok so i have a 1975 280z i have recently re man'd the engine (flat top pistons, hotter cam, high flow fuel pump). Swapped out the 4 speed for a 5speed from a later model 280z and swapped the drums in the back out for disks. ok i have 3000 to drop on the car again. Now the first time I got the work done, I just listened to the machanic. This time I want to listen to the Z community on where the money should be spent. Here are some waning spots on the car right now: the body makes noise when i hit a bump like a squeling noise there is a clunk in the back of the car when i punch it the battery keeps draining from something in the car Now i have talked to the machanic about springs and coilover for about 500 for the part (he says he can get a deal for some HP) and upgrading the diff to a long nose r200 OH and Im not doing the work. thank you for your help here is the car
