If you are talking about the four bolts that attach to the diff yoke. What I did to tighten the bolts when i had to replace them just last month; was have someone hold a wrench on the bolt/nut or use vice grips and the have someone turn the rear wheel really hard. in your case in reverse to loosen the bolts.. when replacing the bolts remember to use grade 9 bolts and nuts with locking washers!

VERY CLEAN 280z. Scan through this: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=96805&highlight=BAE+turbo

Nissan factory jack FTW! but seriously good job dude. keep us posted!

I still hold the light for my dad. ha

I really got tired of looking at the little rust spots on my floor pans getting worse because of my leaking windshield rubber. Well my rubber will be replaced soon so I decided to go ahead and re-coat the floors the best I can until I can afford to put her on a rotissery and do it right. College first! But I don't want her to rot; I got lucky to have pans in this condition. Here are the results. I may por15 them later. I Used: -Rustoleum Professional Primer $5 -Rustoleum Profession Semi Gloss Black $5 -Painter tape (Dollar Store sells the blue paint tape!) $1 -Free news papers *Freebie -Drill and Wire brush attachment $2 -220-500 grit sand paper w/block $3 -Rubber mallet (to hammer floor dents) $3 -Putty knife/screw driver/heat gun to remove rubber coat. *Freebies Total cost $19 Before with rubber coat/"sound deadening": After removing the "factory" rubber under coating: Sanding the rust: Prime: Semi Gloss black: Cans: I guess you could roll it on or use High density brushes, but I think it will cost a little more considering the brushes, rollers, and mineral spirits etc. I didnt want to use 3M rubberized coating because I wanted to be able to remove it easily later down the road. I may Por15 them later.

I love the look! I think someone else up here did something similar with those LED light strips The Z IS a cute lady. My woman and I, have a 15yr age difference but she sure did age well

I tried searching but most threads lead to 85-88 maxima calipers I want to know if the 81-84 Maxima REAR caliper is the same as the 280zx 82-83 REAR caliper? Dont have actual pictures but im being offered a left rear caliper brand new loaded for $45. I have a rear right from a 82-83 280zx that I got for a steal of 35 bucks just wanted to get some time of verification some one please help! Thanks.

Get a set of Ztherapy carbs and set it and forget it. Performance wise the S.U.s thats what the motor was built for side draft cant see the down drive carb giving you any better performance besides easier tuning if you are familiar with the holley carbs.

Rofl!

Sorry to hear the bad news.. Are you considering a stroker with triples because you are disappointed with the turbo setup? I've always admired your build and im currently having second thoughts about a turbo swap. might possibly do fuel injection with itbs. I really love the sound and look of triples though...

280 and that is tan interior not butterscotch like my 260 has

Are those 24" rims? Yeee son! he is sittin' up high!!

Cool. I like it very much How did you set up the lighting? Can you list all of the parts required/ used and total cost.

Wow. Ive never had any experience on cycles but I can imagine the skill and luck of that.

Probably the only one on this earth lol. But I actually like the look of the bumper on the shocks I like the way it sits out. My other option other than using 240z brackets and cutting the shocks would be to just collapse them so the fit closer to the body. I just need a new bumper bar mine is bent and although I like the chrome look they are expensive, hard to find and added weight. Example of collapse shocks: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29347&highlight=collapsing+shocks

Can anyone post a pic of the MSA carbon fiber bumper specifically the inner section or tell me if the in side is hollowed out like the stock/original bumper bar? I plan to buy one and modify it to fit my stock 260z bumper shocks.

dang, the video has been removed... what happened?

Unless they have a 280z variation. I dont think this would work on your car with turn signal placements. But I guess you could modify anything to work.

Haha, I had no Idea soo many people would be interested in this. Wish we could get a forum discount. But yea I'll be ordering mine sometime this month hopefully.

Thanks guys. I'm just trying to find a alternative to fiberglass. In my area the roads are terrible and I know it wouldnt last a month. As far as poly urathane my worry is the sagging... I had an incident with a HUGE chunk of concrete and a pothole; on the way to school on a exit ramp and it shattered my airdam to pieces. Right now I am in the process of getting reinbursed through the city to avoid paying a $500 insurance deductable..

Has anyone purchased this airdam from this seller or similar I have not heard or seen a carbon fiber variation before. How would CF hold up to rock chips compared to poly-urathane or fiberglass? does it sag like poly urathane? all advice welcome considering this airdam. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-240Z-260Z-70-74-B-Road-Carbon-Fiber-Front-Lip_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a1Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a0Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem35a19d2deeQQitemZ230344699374QQptZRaceQ5fCarQ5fParts

The drive shaft was the problem when I replaced the 4 bolts that connect it to the differential yoke the problem went away. I believe the PO installed lower grade bolts cause them to wear and break. Since then all vibration is gone only a tinyyyy little steering wheel shake at high speed but I know thats the rear passenger tire.

Yea I saw the s130 on the highway in the truck scene. I also think there was a datsun/nissan pickup on the bridge as well. Excellent movie the special guest apperance towards the end had me laughing!

That picture makes me shed some tears.. I wish you the best on the rebuild.

81 calipers will NOT work 82-83 only.
