  1. I live in Texas... Austin texas. I dont know why my profile says boston
  2. Uh... Google the part number shown on the shocks. Their goin on this car
  3. I also snapped some pics of my ST sway bars, but forgot to upload them before I drove to work . I think im going to do what JohnC suggested and spend this weekend inspecting to see what needs to be replaced. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to get control arm bushings. It looks like black dragon has them, but sfx looks to be a little cheaper. http://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/ENE73105R.htm
  4. Funny story... The same BLIND old man cut my friends arm open with a chain saw once... He was trying to force me to do yard work, and decided to pull out the chain saw to cut some small branches. This old man is blind as a BAT. Dont ask me why he tried to use a chain saw. He also called the police on me for taking a pee in my back yard..
  5. I sure did replace all of that stuff. In fact the damn parts car got taken away by the city because my 1000 year old next door neighbor complained so much that I had a non working vehicle on the grass next to my driveway. now when things brake I have to pay for them At least I only paid 200$ for it and got many great parts. Would have loved to get some of the engine peices to restore though.
  6. Those fenders are absoutly SICK! was this a custom mod or is it part of this "kit" we are searching for?
  7. now a good question is where can you find ZG flares for a ZX?
  8. Bartman, Your Z is absoultly sick! I agree with everyone else, with some sways, springs and shocks your suspension should be a lot more responsive, and keep your contact patches stuck to the floor. Otherwise your Z is fantasic. Keep up the good work Ben
  9. I also have an 82' ZX. Not trying thread-jack, but what mods would you suggest doing first? You would need more spark, fuel and air to support the aggressive cam, correct? Also i was eyeing the cam over on black dragon, would anyone suggest something different? Thanks
  10. Hi All, I have been trying to find the peice of plastic that covers your steering column and turn signals for my 1982 280zx and have found no luck besides MSA who charges $120. Is there any other places i might check before spending this much money? Thanks
  11. I was trying to think of a method where i wouldnt be out 200 big ones.. Also if i were to do this, would i be able to send them back if they didnt fit? Doubt it. I wish i had an S30 to use them on if they didnt work for my s130. Maybe ill try to give msa a call?
  12. I agree, Why would they specify on MSA that the ZG flares are for the s30 if they could fit on the s130? We NEED to get to the bottom of this. The ZG flares are going to be required for the extreamly doped ZX!
  13. Interesting trwebb26. I will try this later today. I appreciate everyones help!
  14. Whoa! I need to one of those for my Z. Has anyone called to get a price quote?
  15. I really enjoy looking at the pictures you have posted of your resto. Looks like all of the work you have done is top quality!
  16. Where is the throttle Possistion sensor located?
  17. Thank you for the insight johnc. Being that this is my daily driver and i have to be at work 5 days of the week, I need to keep the restoration time, and room for error at a minimum. I would like to eventualy restore my Z to 100%, but Im thinking I will try to devote 1 weekend to replacing the sway bars, shocks and springs. Are there any things you would advise getting before I attempt this upgrade? I have already purchased front strut boots due to the current shredded ones.
  18. oh.. I totaly forgot to mention I have a 1982 280zx.
  19. I have just recently purchased a set of tokico shocks, suspension techniques sway bars, and ST 1" lowering springs for my 1982 280zx. My questions is, for having a restored suspension system is it necessary to replace the strut mounts, berings, and controll arm bushings? If so where is the best place the buy these? Black dragon has the bushings, but i have yet to locate strut mounts. Also is there anything else i might want to buy before making the installation? Thanks
  20. This all started a long time ago. In the begining stages of this issue my ebrake light would turn on when making turns. seemed as if the G's from making the turn would pull the ebrake line or something. Now the ebrake light is on constantly. I have yet to research into the root of this issue. Has anyone ever came across this issue in the past? Thanks!
  21. Yep:grin: I used to have the ugly black plastic ones... along with the nasty plastic bumbers
  22. Doubtfull. seems like the front end of an s30 is much different from the s130. You may as well start from scratch
