    One of these. There's a bunch of different styles and shapes to suit your specific needs/application. https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-6332796/connect-extendable-grip-mount.jsp?skuid=62689230&CID=shopping30&utm_campaign=IMPULSE&utm_medium=CSE&utm_source=google&utm_product=62689230&utm_campaignid=20502647405&CID=shopping30&utm_campaign=SSC&utm_medium=CSE&utm_source=google&utm_campaignid=20502647405&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20151170307&gclid=CjwKCAjwmenCBhA4EiwAtVjzmmGsgHEr2FxdndBlsr7nvJ-AyaHRjwm2Psbg3FGAyHRbKSoYI6ckFRoCuIEQAvD_BwE
  2. Update: these have been taken, and are NLA. Thanks, G-Tech...hope they are useful for you!

    Hello!

     

    Question please.

     

    I logged the build of my Z car on here, and it's 41 pages long.  Do you know of a way I can copy the whole thing for me to keep as a backup on another page?

     

    Thanks,

     

    Joe

      Good question, and I'm not sure I have a good answer for you.  I'm not much of a computer guy; and I would guess that someone more computer-literate could give you a much better answer.

       

      I haven't done any kind of web content downloading myself; but I am aware of different programs that allow you download web content to your PC.  From what little I know about it, some are free and some aren't.  Probably depends on what kind of H/W and S/W you have.

       

      Other than one of those programs, you could copy and paste each one of your 41 pages into a Word or pdf document....but obviously that would be hugely cumbersome and time-consuming.

       

      Sorry I can't give you a better answer.  :-(

       

       

  4. You probably already know this; but most folks like to add a good amount of bracing to the steering shaft bracket/mounting. The additional weight of the electric motor mechanism can cause flex in the stock mounting bracketry. Easier to add the bracing now, when you've got the interior stripped vs later. Are you sure you want this additional weight & complexity in your dedicated track car? In addition to that, some of the power steering systems induce a vagueness in the steering feel, particularly near-center.
  5. Wow, that's frustrating. Is there possibly another shop in the area that can take your car, and be more proactive in finding a creative solution for you?? Sounds like there's going to be bodywork involved, no matter which spoiler/air dam you select.
  6. Some more info would be helpful: a photo of car as it currently sits, a "style" of spoiler/air dam that you prefer (there's a bunch of them in all different styles and shapes), the manufacturer of the ZG flares you installed (do they also make a spoiler that is compatible with their flares?), which specific spoilers have you already tried that "didn't match up", etc. A word of caution: it's not at all uncommon for spoilers to have a poor initial fit; and require massaging to fit properly...either on the car's bodywork, or the spoiler itself, or both. I've given up on prefab air dams and just custom-fabricate my own now.
  7. True, but it's unusual to find people these days that don't have FB, IG, X, TikTok, etc, etc, etc social media accounts. (Personally, I'm only on FB...and not that often, either.) Big tech companies like Google make it easy for anyone to use one account to sign up for 8 others with the click of a button.
  8. I'm with the others....that seems pretty high. A lot of sellers don't realize how little ROI they'll get for a FINISHED project car (never mind an UNFINISHED one). Don't know what specific drivetrain, if any, you're looking for; but here's a few good examples of good deals IMHO: https://www.facebook.com/groups/datsun240zclassifieds Before buying anything, be brutally honest with yourself: What's your budget (initial & total)? What are your mechanical skills? What do you want to do with the car? How far are you willing to travel to find one? Too many people don't go through this process before buying something, and as a result, are not happy with the results.
  9. I do the same thing, and I think it has been effective to a degree. We're still getting a handful of new members every month that seem genuinely interested in the forum, and all the technical data contained therein. As most here have seen, one of our biggest challenges is that a lot of the "older" posts and discussion threads are NLA or contain broken hyperlinks, since Dan has had to rehost the forum a few times on different servers/different forum software, etc. Most of the social media crowd won't look beyond those broken links before giving up.
  10. Good progress! At the risk of stating the obvious, hang on to that front crossmember even if you're not planning to use it yourself in the near term. You may decide you need it in the future; and if not, someone else surely will. They're getting harder to find in good condition these days.
  11. Can't help with that specific question; but if you don't yet have the Factory Service Manual for your car, you can download free FSMs for all years here: https://www.xenonzcar.com/s30/fsm.html
  12. Yep, that's a good mod. You can also get them from Bad Dog, or fab your own from appropriately-sized angle steel. https://www.baddogparts.com/store/product/1970-1978-240-260-280z-sway-bar-plates/ Additionally, I like to run the sway bar mounting bolts all the way through the frame rails. If you go this route, you also need to insert round tubing through the frame rails (to prevent the bolts from crushing the frame rail) and backing plates on the topside of the frame rail (to spread the load, similar to what the reinforcement plates are doing on the bottomside). This is a more involved modification, and not really needed for most street applications.
  13. I think the OP said that the motor mount was obstructing the steering linkage.
  14. Yes, he is; but he's not on this forum very much anymore. He's very active on FB; that might be your best bet if you're serious about purchasing one of his kits. (I have nothing to do with his business, but I do follow his builds from time to time.) https://www.facebook.com/groups/480008718866422/user/1349311394/ https://www.facebook.com/InvincibleExtremes
