[Fuel Cell type and material]

Here is the cell I am about one click away from ordering, anything wrong with it?

That's the same cell I'm using in my 240. There's some pics in the album linked to in my signature showing how it was installed. It doesn't have a bladder, but does have baffles/foam, as mentioned above. If I had it to do over again, I would mount mine lower and probably go with a 10 gallon cell. The 15 gallon cell takes up a good bit of space.

 

I have an Autometer Phantom fuel level gauge that's supposed to match with the sending unit that comes with the cell, but found it to be off.

Read up on these pages: http://www.700r4.com/tech/tcc/index.shtml

 

I believe you'll want the "relay style wiring kit": http://www.700r4.com/tech/tcc/relay_install/diagram.shtml

[first trip down the strip]

Good run and nice to read of another 377! How about some engine specs?

[Well, it's finally painted! PIC'S AT LAST!!!!!]

Looks awesome! Weld pro stars will look great on it!

[Whats the one part you want for your Z, but cannot have?]

Don't forget the hover conversion kit, since it's always nice to not need roads:

[Kaminari Side Skirts]

Those do look better than the standard side skirts. Thanks for posting the pics:)

[My LT1 conversion slow progress]

I'm not real happy with the aluminum mounting ears on the JTR top radiator mount, it seem a little flimsy. I think I'll reinforce those to keep the radiator from moving around. I need to figure out how to mount the Z28 fans for the radiator or just get a Taurus fan.

 

How are the mounting ears flimsy? I found mine to be very solid.

[Where'd all the Ebay suspension stuff go?]

It's all still there. Just search for 240z, 280z, etc., depending on the model.

[Custom Intake Manifolds]

I'm interested in this and would also like some info on pricing.

[suspension techniques rear sway bar]

I've had that happen before with Summit where they say a part won't ship for another month or so, but they have always gotten my parts to me quicker than what their website and personnel have said.

 

That being said, their website shows that a rear 240 bar should ship on 04/10/07: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=STQ%2D51075&N=700+4294907666+4294925130+400279+4294902027+115&autoview=sku

[Not using gaskets on headers]

"D" port angle plug black huggers.

 

thanks

 

Part number is 1406 for D ports.

[Not using gaskets on headers]

I would not run those headers without gaskets. While I don't have the part number in front of me, I recommend Felpro, which you can get at Advance/AutoZone. I think the last set I used for block huggers was part number 1404. I'll find the part number when I get home. Which sandersons do you have? Are the D-shaped or not?

 

I also recommend stage 8 locking header bolts.

[My LT1 conversion update]

It definitely looks like your setback plates are thicker than what I have. I had to use a grinder on mine for header clearance, but I also oriented the setback plate and spacer different than what you did.

[You favourite looking Z?]

Dribble dribble… (…wiping up the drool off my keyboard…) I love this picture! Awesome contrast… Z-32’s are so photogenic…

 

Anyone know what the fascia and side skirts are? Possibly OE post ’96 JDM?... Very nicely understated…

 

The sideskirts are kaminari. The front is as you said, post '96 j-spec, '99 specifically.

[Paint Scheme for my Z]

I was actually trying to find that thread when I saw this one. I thought this was a good look:

 

[Paint Scheme for my Z]

I agree with Careless and think you should go with a pinstripe if you're really stuck on two colors. Plus, that's definitely easier to do and have it look right. The fade can easily turn out bad and does seem dated. Personally, I prefer using one body color and letting other items serve as a secondary color (grill, tail light panels, etc).

Haha, that's fantastic!!

[Help with suspension question]

Which car? The fronts are the same as the rears for a 240z. For a 280z, the rears are taller. Not sure on a 260z.

[240z compaired to 280z front spoiler..which one?]

Definitely 240 in my opinion. I even changed my 280 front end to use 240 lights and spoiler.

[How do you remove hatch area trim pieces?]

Glad I'm not the only one...

 

Did the hatch door bang you on the head on it's way down like mine did me? It's been too long since I did it to give you any advice, but I did remember the kiss it gave my cranium.

[Aziza z update. ITs painted candy apple red.]

Very nice! I'm also curious about the headlights.

And buying directly from tabco is a better option in terms of price:

[Do you have a z and does it actually run?]

All three of mine run now, but the 260 isn't street legal at the moment (no lights). My 240 was down the last part of '06. Should be back driving it on the street in the next week or so (will definitely be at reynolds for SEZ). The 260 may get sold before I do anything to it.
