  1. No, it's not that, it's the one in my post above.
  2. Early or late? Early ones will have 240 style rails.
  3. 240 or 280? If it's a 240, I'd put em in like factory with spot welds since they have a flange on them. The 280 rails he sells I don't believe have a flange, and I wouldn't want to weld them directly to the floor pan due to the lack of surface area the rail contacts the floor with.
  4. Since you have a tube, and not the U shaped rails from the factory, I think I would drill a bunch of holes in the floor pan and spotweld to the topside of the rail, and also stitch them on the side on the bottom side of the floor. Use a weld thru primer on the top of the rail and bottom of the floor so you don't end up with rust in that joint, since if water gets in, it's unlikely to get out. What you could also do, is cut the floor in half longways, and bend the edges 90 degrees to make your flange, and spot/stitch weld as needed. That way you don't end up with the possibility of moisture gathering between the floor and rail.
  5. Not just you. I think it's the forum software, since classiczcars has the same problem. Must've been an update or something.
  6. Why not just weld on a piece of steel like everyone else does? Keep it simple.
  7. They mount on the top of the rear shock towers. You should see a couple threaded holes on the plate on top.
  8. No, that frame rail is absolutely not too far gone to repair, and those of us on the east coast would consider that to be pretty minor rust. The car is probably overpriced though unless it's otherwise mint condition. Based on your location I'd be surprised if the car has really serious rust issues hiding beneath the paint, though there may be more rust than you can immediately see.
  9. Yeah I've noticed that too, so it's not you. Also here, and also on classiczcars, the new posts feed only shows in expanded form, and not condensed, must have been some sort of update.
  10. Z Car Garage also offers a smaller brake kit that fits 15s.
  11. You need to be a donating member, minimum donation is $20. https://forums.hybridz.org/donate/
  12. The bolster looks different than the E21 Recaros. Looks like a Recaro LS.
  13. If no cage or reinforcement, consider that the 280Z chassis is a little stiffer.
  14. In your position, I'd do the Subaru LSD swap instead, should be more straight forward, and you get a limited slip, and weight gain won't be an issue.
  15. Did he drive it in the winter too and keep it outside? Goddamn that's a lot of rust.
  16. Yup, good move. That car wasn't worth fixing, if it was even fixable by a non-professional. I have a car in far better shape than that one, and I expect I'll cut it up eventually. The new shell looks much better.
  17. The price doesn't seem too outrageous to me. Even if it's a little high (I have no idea if it is or isn't these days), I personally would just take the hit to have my car back.
