Both of the front door window runners have rotten on my 78 260z 2 seater (same as your 280z I believe)
So does anyone know if the runners simply undo and slide off from the bottom of the door glass?
Or am I likely to break the glass if I try to remove the metal runner?
btw, Reason I ask is I'm struggling to find any in the uk
So might be easier if I buy a good used pair from the states?
-
If you are willing to spend the $$ on shipping I'm sure you can source one from there.
You could search UK boards but, parts seem harder to find there.
Some parts command crazy money, yet others aren't worth jack !
I was quoted up to £500 !! for a pair of 260z/ 280z doors here in the uk
btw, yes that's uk pounds not dollars!
Yet the same 2 doors from the usa cost me a fraction of that price, but the shipping was stil crazy money.
Still it was worth me buying the same doors from other there. (yours)
Shipping can be a killer but prov the price can be kept low it could work out ok

here is an updated link
i dont see any coolant passages though. is that only for the 25?
anyone else using this yet?
GTR RB26DETT "RB26" Intake manifolds are very different from RB25 manifolds
They do not interchange
-
Just make sure you get a good TB as I have not heard good things about the cheap China Knock-Offs.
Well I've gone for one of those cheapies
Looks good and seems to fit well
80mm and bolts straight onto the plenum without need for an addaptor or mods
Should save some room now ?
-
Car looks very good and the colour suits it!
Out of interest have the archs beeen cut out under them flares?
-
Yes that old chestnut
Can peeps post up a few details or pics or how they have modded o.e carbed fuel tanks for injected use?
Main high pressure pumps in tanks or lift pumps and swirl pots out ?
-
Cheers for the pics, thats a great help
I see the main water union on that plenum has been welded in aswell
It looks the same as the one I bough from the states (I couldn't find one here at the time)
I went for one that came with the tbh addaptor kit, tho that needs to be machined flat before it can be used
Think mine was cast from a block of wonky cheese tho lol
-
Maybe someone has a damaged 260z or a 280z that is being pulled apart?
If so I need a rear panel section cut from the shell
As far as I know the 260z and 280 is the same panel ?
Please let me know if otherwise
As outlined in red in the below pics I need the section cut that holds the rear lights in place
i.e the rear panel but dont need the "lower" valance part as such
My panel is rotten under the rear slam panel, so the donor part needs to be a good rot free section
Clicky pics to show section required
If you can help pm me your price
If you have a new one even better !
cheers

you can run the large VH45 throttle body
I've had a look at pics of a Q45 throttle body but they look a bit chunky?
So my plan was to use one of those simple smaller aftermarket throttle bodies?
80 or 90mm maybe ?
Not having seen either in the flesh it makes it harder to be sure
But they look a better bet?
-
Fair play
Do you know what that turbo is fitted to as stock?
Out of interest as that is an RB20
Do they accept high impedance injectors as standard, or do you need to use a GTR drop resistor?
-
We can supply a modified one or do yours if you need...
Many thanks for the offer!
I think I should be able to get it modified here in the uk
-
Looks good
Is that an RB20 or 25 tho ?
Turbo looks like it fits well
How close does the turbo run to the inner wing ?
-
WE modify them for more fender inter panel clearance.
Cut off flange and weld on at new angle....
Thats what I'm thinkin
If you was a little closer I might just pop in to see whats what
I guess it also depends on what throttle body is used aswell?
Esp as the std housing has those sticky out bits that must get in the way ?
btw, your RB engine mount kit fitted a treat
-
Cheers
I've prev converted it to frt entry using the std plenum, but wanted a change
So if its just the top boost hose that should keep things simple.
Still need to decide on what throttle body to use tho ?
-
So I can use a greedy style inlet plenum on an RB25
Does the throttle body flange of the plenum deffo need modding to allow the tbh to clear the inner wing? (260z)
Is so anyone got any pics to show what angle it needs re-setting at?
btw, I would offer it up myself but my cars in the body shop without an engine, so not so simple
-
Part now sorted
Many thanks guys
-
Cheers
As you say they are old hat now, but I wasn't sure if they could still be had new?
Either o.e or repro part?
As for the tank req it would need to be an early tank, as the later 77 on cars had a diffo tank
-
I think I've got the years right on this part
Does anyone know if the 75/76 280z injection petrol tank is still available new?
If so would anyone know its part number?
Also was there only one type of early injection 280z tank?
cheers
-
Asked this on the uk forum but no deffo answer so asking you guys
Can someone confirm if the 240, 260 and poss your later 280z 2 seater outer rear qarter panels are the same and can interchange?
i.e if you was just to use the outer skin
I know the v early 240 had a diffo door latch mech and the "inner" petrol flap area hole is diffo
Not sure if its just the retainer hole/neck ring thats diffo or not?
(Think your 280 was diffo around the bumper side area to the uk cars)
But was the main outer quarter skin the same between the 3?
Anyone fitted a 240 quarter to a 260 or even 280z without issue ?
-
Body part still required
Can pay via paypal and have a US addy to ship to if easier
ps, told it needs to be from a 77/78 car

Maybe someone has a damaged 280z or one that being pulled apart?
If so I need a small body section cut from the passengers side B post area from a 280z shell (77/78)
Not sure if a late 260z is the same ?
As outlined in the pic I need the section cut that holds the door striker in place
(mine is rotten so needs to be rot free)
Would need to be cut approx 6" above and 6" below of the striker
Clicky pic to show section required
I believe its hollow behind that striker area so shouldn't be too bad to cut.
If you can help pm me a price
cheers

Would 100% recommend him
I've just bought 2 280z doors and frames from him
Excellent price that saved me a packet in the uk !
He even helped me have them shipped to the uk and dropped them off to the shipper
Doors arrived pronto and are in fact better condition then I assumed they could be
Deffo a top guy and would buy again !
-
You can get them from Tabco.
I certainly don't have the skill to make that work, nor would I even know where to begin.
Cheers
Like you I need to have them right as I've got to get the bodyshop to fit them
No good me paying to get them over here, only to find they're a poor fit?
-
Hi
Can someone recommend a supplier or where to get lower rear quarter repair panels?
The lower sections for both sides below the rear bumper area (not the rear panel)
To fit a uk 260z if it matters. I believe its the same panel as a 240z?
Can't seem to find them here anymore in the uk

Good idea but I've already bought a pair of doors from the states
Sept they came bare as thats all I wanted at the time
As I now want the glass runners aswell I rather not pay them shipping costs again lol
