Hi,I would not recommend you use any silicone on the gasket.They were installed from the factory with the gasket on body raw. If you want extra security besides the gasket,you want to use what is called liquid buytl, It comes in a bottle that uses a special pump nozzle. The stuff works very well,but is expensive and very messy if you do not know how to use it. I am a licensed NGA certified autoglass tech for the record.

I see a crease, it has a full dash cap for sure.

I am not an expert, but i use RTV sealant on all the freeze plugs i have installed. Is the car blowing white smoke out the exhaust? Head gasket could be leaking between the coolant ports and cylinders,causing compression to enter the coolant chambers in the block,thus popping freeze plugs out like tic-tacs.

Looks great,well done.

Hi, I am a NGA certified autoglass tech (8 Years now),In my professional opinion this is a bad idea. The s30 windshield was designed to be a gasket set, it does not have enough overhang on the pinchweld to use the proper amount of ureathane to bond to the glass,The bead would hit on the very edge of the glass,not safe at all. As far as the universal moulding (up to 2" wide)It would look like crap in the top corners where you would have to cut 45 deg angles because of the pointy corners.Painting a frit band (border) on the edge of the glass only looks good when it has metal moulding that covers it (example : Chevy Chevelle), The purpose of a frit band is not only to make a border,it protects the ureathane bead from the suns UV rays,which eats away over time.

Looks good,makes me wanna go the SR route.

I just checked my car,that is my problem the last owner installed the fronts in rear and rears in front.When you swapped them did it correct the problem? The ride quality got that much worse?

I have the same exact problem with my 2+2,it has the eibach prokit from MSA. I did not do the install,the original owner did,but he said he thought the rear springs were the wrong ones.

It looks great,good stuff.

Found one,Please close. Thanks

yes,pm sent

Thanks anyway.

The bezel is made of plastic. Is it off of a 2+2 260? They are slightly different than standard 260's. Could you post a pic? If it is the right one,I can paypal you Asap,thanks.

Bump,anyone?

Wanted: Driver side 280Z 2+2 tail light bezel(Black trim). I do not need the tail light itself, just the trim, Let me know what you have,Thanks

Thanks for the info,now the hard part is finding a radiator shop in my area.

Hello, A few weeks ago i removed my gas tank from my 76 280, my plans were to do a full tank restoration. I took a look down the filler neck and to my surprise there was basically no rust inside what so ever. The tank on the outside had a bunch of surface rust, so i sent it out to be sand blasted. When i got the tank back it looked great, no visable holes or anything. So just to be on the safe side i capped of all the fittings,and i made a filler neck cap with a valve stem. I filled the tank with 10PSI and then began to do a soapy water test. I spent about a 1/2hr doing this and found nothing. I then prepped the tank to apply POR15(semi gloss black)to the outside. I applied 1 full coat to the whole tank,a few days later i went to put a 2nd coat and found a leak right near the fuel feed nipple(little bit of gas left in the tank),it had eaten the POR15 completely around the fitting. There was a hairline crack in the Braze(weld)that mates the nipple to the tank, So that brings me to my question, What is the best way to fix this? I am pretty sure they brazed fittings on back then,It looks like solder not a mig/tig weld. I was thinking taking a torch to it to blend(re-braze)in the crack,Or would a little bit of JB weld do the trick?

I am so glad i don't have to go thru all this. I dropped my tank on my 76, There was no rust inside at all. The outside had some light surface rust, i just got it back today from the sandblaster. Time to por-15 the outside,then hang it back up. I was not aware you had to fill it to prime the pick-up tube,thanks for the info.

Very nice Fab work.
