  1. I am trying to rebuild my steering rack and am hung up on how to remove the brass cup and bearing.  The brass cup does not pop out or twist out.  The bearing does not have a c clip.  I guess that if I cannot remove the brass cup, I won't be able to remove the bearing. If I cannot finish the rebuild, then I will just buy a rebuilt steering rack.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

  2. I have a 1976 280z with the left corner rear hatch latch panel completely rusted out.  I am looking for a piece of the rear hatch panel that includes where the weatherstripping mounts.  The area requested is highlighted  by the red box, more specifically the area outlined in yellow.  I am located in the Panhandle of Florida  Thanks for your assistance.

    If your looking for a remaunfactured S30 fender on Ebay, beware of the only seller of remanufactured S30 fenders on Ebay. The pictures below show what I received. You will notice that the external packaging does not show dents or bent cardboard.  This to me supports the idea that the fender was not damaged in shipping.  I spoke with the company today and they acknowledge they sent out a bent, dented and marred fender, but this was the best they could do and they are the only supplier of remanufactured fenders(their words).  I have since solved this problem.  I bring this to your attention to be aware of what you might receive.

  4. I am having trouble getting my 1982 280zx turbo automatic started.  The car cranks, but won't start.  I removed the ignition coil and bracket to hand clean the parts.  When I put everything back together I think I missed a wire connection because it won't start and I have to 2 loose wires.  I have a black wire coming off the a/c compressor in the front, but going to nothing.  I have a solid yellow wire that connects to nothing.  I connected the black single wire off the distributor to the condenser wire.  I reviewed the wiring schematic and think the yellow wire goes to the magnetic clutch since it is the only yellow wire by itself.  I don't know what a magnetic clutch is or where it is.  I have attached a picture of how I put everything back together.  Is the wiring right and where do the 2 loose wires go?

  5. I am looking at upgrading the rear brakes on my 280zx because I have 12.2" 4piston front brakes w/ wilwood portioning valve and looking for a little more of a balance. I wanted to add more rotor surface to help with the cooling and also keep my e-brake. That is why I have not gone with a wilwood 4piston rear. I was wondering if the 240sx rear rotor would fit on 280zx hub. The only reason why I would put 240sx rear brakes on is to get the Fast Brakes 12" upgraded rotor size. Any ideas for improvement on my brake system would be appreciated.

  6. Do to an injury while I was in Afghanistan, I no longer have the use of my left leg. I am wondering if there is any way to take my 280zx with z32 manual transmission and make it possible to drive without using my left foot. One idea was to do paddle shifters, but I have no idea on how to do it.Any ideas. Or would it be better to go automatic? Thanks
