This is why I went wih Speed Designs Inc. They understand my budget and advise me of how to achieve my goal within my budget. They work and communicate with me every step of the way. They even let me help.... I think they are charging extra for that though LOL I went with a company that has good work ethics and produce great product. I think the extra you pay for quality work is worth it.

I've been doing ours too, almost finished. I am going to go over the POR-15 with black black underneath when I finish with the POR-15. You can see here: http://www.4moores.com/280z/

I wouldn't go with him either. I deal with customers all of the time and we always listen to all of their issues. Even if we can't make what they want happen 100%, sometimes a comprimize is made and everyone is happy. Sounds like he doesn't want to try at all. It could get worse down the road too if he hanging up on you before he even has your money.

Thanks for the info and pics Vinh and Gary. I will go the combo route of changing the fuel lines over to the passanger side AND using the C5 regulator. Matt Sparks is meeting up with me later in the week with his fuel pump. Scott

Hayabusa The code is on the link itself. Its right at the top when you click the link and the new page opens up, it says "MEGAUPLOAD CODE ---> Enter this code HERE" It's the kind that stops spambots.

I am getting the MSA type III also.

I used acetone and a bunch of galvanized nuts and bolts. You can also use chains. Swish them all aound really good. Drain the acetone. Then blow it all out with compressed air or a leaf blower, make sure its really dry in there. Then get a Fram G3 gas filter and put it in between the gas tank and the pump inlet. Switch the filter out as leeded. Mine was like one a week, then it went to every 2 weeks, then once a month, Then lasts a long time. The filter is clear plastic so I would watch it to see when it got "gunked" up.

Same here!

I am 14K in the hole and I have a LS1 motor/T56/Arizona Z suspension/ Willwood brakes/seats/wheels/JCI mounts and a shell of a car. The car isn't even included! I have a bunch of parts laying around though..... Thats not even including the labor for Speed Design Inc. Another 10K is coming in 2 months and I estimate another 5K after that realisticly. I nee to hide that somehow from my wife. She already has a bounty out on me!

Thanks Gary I'll look into that. I tried to go to your website, but the grey on grey was just to hard one my old eyes.. LOL

I watched a girl (coming back from her honeynoon with her husband) die in front of me on a motorcycle. They had a blow out about 10 feet in front of my car on the beltway around Richmond going back to Norfolk through Frederick on 95. I almost ran over them both in my Triumph. But she died right there while I was trying to help. I sold my Suzuki 850 after that ( I was getting married that month.). It really upset me, I have never seen so much blood and gore. I was doing 85 when they passed and pulled in front of me. I hope no one has to go through that. Its so much different than watching a movie. I have 2 teenagers a 20 yr old son and a 16 yr old daughter. She gets upset when I won't let her pile into a car with other high school kids to go into Charlotte. I tell her I don't care! How is that sister going to feel for the rest of her life. I have always told that to my son and his friends before they leave in a car. "How could you look anyone in the eye after you killed someone by being stupid". My daughter calls me a hypercrat, she knows I was stupid with cars and bikes when I was young. I tell her I don't care, call me what you want, you still aren't going. I will load them all in the crew max and take them. This last weekend her and her 16 yr old girl friend were wanting to go into Charlotte for a Cosmetology convension, she couldn't understand why my wife and I were concerned. "But we are 16 Dad!" EXACTLY! I have been there, sorry you had to go through it.

I actually live in Lincolnton. My car is up near Welcome/Midway off of 52 at Mark and Roddy's garage. Where does a surge tank go? Is it better to get a different tank then use the stock one? Mine would have to be boiled, cleaned and tapped with a large fitting, so I have nothing against a better way to do it. We talked about fabrication for a fuel cell, but that wasn't really in the budget.

I am using my original '76 280Z gas tank with larger AN fittings for my LS1 conversion. Sparks280ZT is selling a walboro 255 lph fuel pump and I tried searching, but maybe I used the wrong key words. Is there a specific pump to use or is this one from Matt good to use?

Crap! I hope nothing happens to your home, I wish you luck!!!

I live about 45 minutes N.W. of Charlotte, we have water restrictions and it is bad. But I haven't heard of anything like evacuating. Heck, hurricanes can be heading straight for the Outer Banks and residents won't leave. Why would they leave because of water. Half of the people in my town don't take showers anyway, lack of water or not.... so we are conserving in my county. Well except on Saturdays. haha

Is there a way to safely remove the rear defroster stripping on the rear hatch window? Can I just use a razor or will it scratch the glass?

Thanks zeeboost I saw some things on zxman.com I need. I am leary of ordering somethings off of the internet now days. I am going to go check out the fenders by Sparks280ZT first. Sparks I PM'd you. Scott

steel is better!

I need front fenders for a '76..

has anyone ordered from ZXMAN.COM? I was looking for fenders and saw their website. I didn't want to order them and find out its a shoow-cars.com rip off place.

I did what BRAAP said and it worked great. Lots of really bad smelling black smoke though. Also don't touch the black burning rubber, DOH! It did work and after cleaning it out with a rag and some gas the energy suspension bushings went right in.

Thanks, but she is only 16. So stay away! She went to a party last night and she looked like she was 20. I am going insane....

My Son and Daughter in July. I was trying to find one of my Son (20th B-Day) and myself. Since its our 280Z. Well it's his (for getting into the Naval Academy), but all of my money and most of my time.... They aren't real, but we still have a lot of fun with woodsball, paintball.

Maybe my LS1 conversion will be finished by next year....

Too COOL!
