    Anyone heard from Zedd Findings?

    in Non Tech Board

    Posted

    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!

    $ List of Completely Restored (modified) Interior.

    in Interior

    Posted · Edited by John

    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. :D

    Energy rack & pinion bushings

    in S30 Series - 240z, 260z, 280z

    Posted

    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!
