Does your hazard switch work?

Interested, but depending on price.

[Post pics of your z's here!!]

Some cell phone pics.  Still have a few things left to do like exhaust and tint.

 

That's beautiful.  Love the color and the wheels.

[Post pics of your z's here!!]

My most recent project, a '71 240z (not that I really finished the last one).  I've mostly been updating on this project on Facebook/g+, but should start a build thread here.

 

Before paint (which had some issues not seen in these pics)



After recent paint, new emblems, coilovers up front, bad dog frame rails/subframe connectors, and new front brakes (stock replacement):





Still a lot of work to do (rear suspension/brakes, pull engine/trans and paint engine bay, paint/detail engine, 5-speed swap, diff swap, undercoating, new wheels, blah, blah, etc). 

[Air dam and flares?]

I can't answer as to fit or size, but a similar question on the flares came up here:  http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/body-paint-s30/34985-what-fender-flares-wheels.html

[Yet another rear drum to disk conversion option!]

I also want to be on the list for the next run.

[Been a long time.....]

Nice to see that she is still in good hands and is being loved .......but what is wrong with the wheels?

 

They're still on the car right now.  I just have another set I want to use instead, whenever I get around to working on her.

[Been a long time.....]

Hello. I still have your car.

Got parts coming my way.  This can be closed.  Thanks!

[WTB 82-83 280zx calipers]

I'm looking to buy a set of 82-83 280zx rear disk brake calipers.  I really just need the brake pad holders/brackets, but am willing to buy the whole caliper assembly.

 

Thanks,

[fuel cell question]

You don't really need a fuel cell.  I have one in one of my cars and wish I didn't.  It's better to go with the factory style tank.  Put a WTB ad in the classifieds.  Someone will have one.

[Anybody have an affordable yet good quality radiator they are running on an SR in their z?]

I've seen a few people use the AZ Z crossflow radiator, which meets your budget: http://www.arizonazcar.com/radiator.html

[Datsun Spirit Build vs Swap]

No way I'd pay that much when there's better options for much, much less.

 

I don't disagree, but I believe that's setup is what gogriz91 was referring to.

[Datsun Spirit Build vs Swap]

There was a guy in Pensacola who used to sell EFI throttle bodies that looked really nice.  Not cheap but a nice compromise between EFI and the looks of triples.

That sounds scary

 

But it works.  I used dry ice earlier this year to remove the old insulation in my '71.

Looks good, but the spoiler area above the turn signals goes on the back side of the headlight buckets.

Can i still get a kangaroo story?

[Mikellys 403 Stroker LS3 build...]

Sounds like a good mix of parts.  Where's the motor coming from?

[240 lower valance on 280?]

Good info! I've already acquired the 240 signals for my 77, and was going to get an 240Z air dam to go with them this winter. I had planned on just getting an MSA type 1 or similar, so that's all I need aside from adapting/extending the wiring? Chances are I'll leave both lights for now, but one set not powered. I was thinking of retrofitting fog lights where the 280 signals were in the grill. 

 

Yes, that's all you need. Simple wiring once you have the air dam and signals in place.  I removed the 280 turn signals on mine along with the ugly brackets (drilled out the spot welds) and then fitted some small "L" brackets so that I could attach a 240 grill (though the one in above pic is a 260 grill).  I also considered some round fog lights in that location, but never got around to that or to mounting 240 bumpers.  

 

I'll be doing this all over again on a '76 280 sometime soon.
