  1. Yea. Trying to find something more complete of possible
  2. Would like both driver and passenger. I'll keep you in mind if I can't find a set.
  3. Need coilovers installed, new bushings, wheel bearings, outer tie rods, steering rack boots, ball joints, install R200, AZC diff mounts, sway bars and an alignment. I have the sectioned struts assembled ready to go. Along with all the parts except the wheel bearings (may have the rear set some where) Depending on what the shop does, may also consider doing some engine work as well...
  4. Thinking of doing possibly both since I'm going to be overhauling my suspension.....Only place I found that sells inner tie rods are Rare Parts
  5. Was wondering what brand people recommend and/or use when replacing ball joints and tie rods. Rare Parts seems to be the most expensive I've found but not sure if they're worth the extra price. Proforged carries a 1,000,000 mile warranty but things are made in Taiwan. Supposedly, they're pretty good products. Then there's Sankei which is made in Japan and pricing is just about the same as Proforged. Any recommendation for a brand?
  6. I'm planning on having my suspension completely overhauled. Are there any shops in the San Jose area that anyone recommends besides Z Car Garage?
  7. I'm looking for a set of doors in real good condition and complete. Preferably a matching set. I have a 75 280Z so later doors are no good. I'm located in the bay area. If you have what I'm looking for please email or message me condition, pictures and asking price. Thanks
  8. I would be interested in the raffle too. Hopefully this gets going and I don't miss out
  9. Looking for some real nice solid doors for my 75 280Z. From my understanding, 240Z & 260Z doors should also work as well. Preferably I want everything intact and in good condition so I don't have to "rebuild" them. I don't need the locks as I have my own. Please contact me with asking price and pictures. Thanks~
  10. Hey Everyone, So I have an issue. My car was running fine and then all of a sudden it seemed like my 1 of my coil packs just died. Here's exactly what happened. Drove my car to work this morning fine (Roughly about a 30 minute drive and then before turning off my car, let it idle for about 2-3 minutes). Roughly about 9 hours later, I started up the car again. That's when the issue happened. Once I started it up, you could hear the problem. It sounded like a suby. Took the car for a small drive, no more than 2 miles and kept the RPM under 3K. Mostly between 1K-2.5K RPM because I didn't want to push it. The car shakes a bit at low speed/low RPM rev and had that suby sound all the way up to about 2.5K RPM. As I said, I didn't want to push it any further as something is already wrong. I don't see a need to try and push harder than what was needed to hear and feel it out. I did recently have my plugs changed, and after the change, the car ran a lot smoother so I don't think the problem is related to my plugs. They're gapped at .8mm and are the copper type. $13 I believe was the cost of the plugs and the best damn $13 bucks I spent lol. I lost coil packs before and it was a problem when I was trying to get my car tuned a long time ago. The tuner kept blowing coil packs (Specifically #6, the one closest to the firewall) and it would break up in the high RPMs. He was able to get it to a nice tune and I didn't run into any issues for quite some time until now. Since the car has sat for quite some time, I lost the tune we had. It was done through a Apexi SAFC. So my car should be running how it is stock. My boost is set to a good decent amount, but I have not boosted past 10 PSI since I got the car back up and running. I have also not revved past 5K RPM as well since I got it back up and running (within the last 2 weeks) Does anyone know what the issue could be? The tuner suggested that it could be related to a wiring problem when I had the whole swap done a long time ago. He also suggested that I should consider upgrading coil packs as well but said he wasn't sure if it was such a good idea because if the issue is something else, I might end up blowing the new coils. Engine Info RB25DET S2 - Stock'ish - FMIC, FPR, Cone filter, Q45 TB, Apexi SAFC, Manual Boost Controller, Bigger Fuel Pump, Freddy Intake Manifold.
  11. Quick questions, since I'm about to get ready for the same exact work (MSA type 3 all around with wide CF ZG flares) Seems like the front flares are mounted lower than the original line. Am I correct? Wheel & tire specs? Are you using the Z31 hubs?
  12. Please close thread, I found the problem and was able to determine which wire was which.
