If that's a ferrari, then it's time I put my ferrari collection on ebay.

Awesome pics... thanks for sharing!

I knew I wasn't the only one who wanted chrome slacks.

Wow, that looks great.

haha, awesome

You've got it right in the pics, though that looks like the 280 bar. It just needs to be above your exhaust and closer to the diff like Jon said. I'm not sure what year your car is, but I believe there were brackets from the factory from '73 up. They look like this, but are in slightly different positions depending on the year: '78 280: '73 240: The above pics were both taken from the passenger side. You can see how the brackets face different directions and how the 280 one sits farther forward and slightly higher. If you're making your own brackets, you should be able to make it work fine. BTW, I have that same bar on my 280, though not in lime green:

Got my lsd installed, along with AZC components and RT mount. I thought this would go quicker than it did, but hit a few snags here and there. Since this car is a 260, I had the annoying exhaust hanger to deal with before I could put in the RT mount. I also had a little trouble getting the 280zxt CV joints out of the old diff. Everything came together fine, though I wish I had a little more time to clean and undercoat the rear of the car. AZC parts: Z31 LSD (looked quite clean to start with, but once I started scrubbing, there was a good bit of junk caked on): RT mount (glad I had 2.. 1 fit a little better than the other in this car) Before: After:

It's been a while since I've been able to work on this car. Not much to report, but here goes. I got my tail lights reassembled and put back on the car: I also got the motor cleaned up, repainted, new cam installed, and mostly back together: The windshield and rear hatch glass went back in today with new seals from Nissan. That was not the most fun I've had. My fingers tips are a bit numb from messing around with that metal trim. At least I know a good way to do it now. I'll be doing it again later this year with the 280. Next weekend, I'll put in the r200 lsd, after cleaning it up and putting in my ron tyler diff mount. Also, still waiting on my 200-4r to come back from being rebuilt/upgraded.

Looks good! What kind of cooling fan are you using? It looks to fit really well with the radiator.

Beta Motorsports sells a 4" cowl hood. Check here: http://www.betamotorsports.com/products/products.php?cat=4

Those are s&s headers. They work with jtr, but hang pretty low. http://www.headermania.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=H&Product_Code=5205&Category_Code=STREETROD

My friend Paul came over with his cherry-picker today and we got the engines swapped around. We first pulled the motor and transmission from the '76: Lots to clean up here. Before it goes to paint, I'll be removing brackets and whatnot that I won't need. I'm going to try to hide the wiring as much as possible when this thing goes back together. '76 motor out set to the side: Then we pulled the engine and transmission from the '78 and separated them: Engine-less '78, but not for long: Finally, we put the '76 motor in the '78: '78 motor sitting on wooden blocks in the garage: The motor on the stand is what will eventually go back into the '76 car. Both are n42 block/head, but the one on the stand only has less than 100k miles, with no rebuilds. The hood is now back on the '78 and it's ready to go down the road. Hopefully, it will be out of here next weekend. I'm sure my neighbors will be sad to see it gone, though. Also in the above pic, my Canfield 195's are on top of an old filing cabinet, getting cleaned up for my 260z.
