I have offset urethane strut top insulators, I have managed to strip the threads on one stud and a second stud is getting very close to stripping also. They're offset to give -1 degree camber so it's not a case of buying a cheap easy to source replacement. Is there anyway to replace the studs in these top hats?

My cage is bolt in. The rear section was welded in place with most of the interior stripped out, so I'm not sure how removable it will be. I'm 6ft3" tall and I had to remove the seat rails to get enough head clearance on the side.

Was it still holding together and if it melted totally is there anything else to hold the mount together?

I had a similar problem with my recent RB20det close ratio gearbox install. Have you checked the clutch fork? I knocked mine when doing the install and one side of retaining spring on the throw out bearing/clutch fork had popped off (it was the big horse shoe shaped one). This caused the carrier to bind and the clutch was basically doing nothing. Unfortunately it was a box out job to refit the spring which takes all of 20 seconds.

I run the type 'A' front spoiler on my gnose and it's pretty much a track day only setup. The issue I have is when you try to go up driveways, or over speed humps. The nose is a lot further forward than the standard setup so it can bottom out before the wheels even start to go up the incline. The spoiler only makes this issue worse. A urethane type might take a few more knocks without damage.

I have the MSD 6AL-2 on my 240Z. I run a modified scorcher dizzy with the magnetic pickup, the pick up is almost identical to the 280ZX item but is actually from a GM Holden. IIRC the purple/green wires are the correct ones to use for magnetic pickups. It would be easier if you could put up the installation diagram that comes with it.

Here's my interior. Nismo Compe wheel, Hakosuka 5spd shift knob, Peterbuilt push start button, JDM 240kph speedo, replica 10,000rpm taco, Calander clock, New OEM door cards, Volt meter swap.

Thanks guys, they are Konig Rewinds, sandblasted and sprayed with satin black epoxy(rattle can). 16x8, 0 offset. 225/50 Bridgestone RE11s semi slicks, guard lips needed to be rolled.

Not my pics but here's a couple of my ride from our xmas bbq

Yeah I copied Monzsters setup from the pictures posted, His is very neat but mine is a little more 'backyard'. Lol. Sorry for the hijak I like yours duragg, it looks very OEM! How hard was it to get the height correct?

I may as well post my results here too. I made my own captive mounts around a year ago. I used a spare set of the 'ears that mount to the block, then I used the circular end of a spare moustache bar, welded these together using a template I made of stock mounts ( for correct height/angle). I then bent up some 3mm steel for the crossmember end of the mounts. I run poly moustache bar mounts, it causes a little shimmy when idling at the lights. Can't post a link but here is a vid on you tube http://youtu.be/JFVTr9a6wkk Idling at 900 with a 76deg high lift cam. I didn't use those bolts, they were the only ones I had big enough on first trial fit.

Here's a rear shot of the Z

"Keep in mind, whatever goes back in there will eventually need to handle around 400 hp..." If your handy with a welder you could make up something like this. I switched to this after having vibration problems with an RT style mount. It's available from stuart Wilkins motorsport in Australia, not cheap though.

After running 'smurfs blood' in my new R32 gbox I also switched to redline for my diff oil, very happy with it. My R180 finned cover has an extra 300ml above stock capacity.

Same as mine Nelsonian. Perhaps it's just luck of the draw? They do look very similar to the un trained eye, I was just disappointed they wouldn't try to sort through the mistake a little better. Glad to hear your finding them easier to deal with, hope It works out in the end. I managed to find a member who was happy to exchange his LD pump for my JDM 260Z tail lights

Love the color Aleks!

I purchased the Aisin WPN-079 and received the gas pump, the model info on the box only lists LD engined Nissans. I contacted them to ask if they had the correct pump, or if they could measure any remaining pumps to confirm the correct size before I bought another one. The reply was 'no and we don't have a pump for your Nissan'. Strange thing was when asked what car I have I quoted all models, years and LD28 engine separately as printed on the Aisin box

I have some JDM 260z tail lights in good condition I can exchange for an LD pump. PM if you're interested
