my 83 had the single reservoir master cylinder also and the original reservoir had a plug on it as you can see in this pic, there is the cap, then the other black thing on top was were the plug went for the fluid level sensor. when i got a new reservoir it was not on there anymore. i think someone replaced yours before that why its not there anymore. and the other hose is for the rear window washer at the top of your rear window. there are 2 plugs below the hose that you dont have circled, i believe cause you know they are for the washer tank

finally have it "mostly done" as it will never be completely done. but it is ready for the street, shows and of coarse it will still see the 1/4mile and occasionally watkins glen. i think you s130 guys could take a long time to see all the lil mods everywhere. hope you enjoy.

gotta love the easy fixes!!!

did you recently have the battery disconnected? when i disconnect and re-connect the battery in my z, the computer which is for a 1999 camaro has to relearn and the first few times i start it the idle goes up and down some but it eventually straightens out after a little driving. it will sometimes go as high as 2k rpm's but not really past that and will also dip low enuff that i think its going to stall but doesnt. or mayb you didnt diconnect the battery but should so that it can realize there is a different amount of load on the engine. hope any of this helps, let me know

Google it, you'll find zcarsource and mayb 2 other places and they will have some things. If you have a t-top car you wont find any of that except the pieces that mount to the t-top and you have to really disassemble it to change them...

looks like a nice new paint job. i think s130 members are more creative than s30 owners (maybe im partial to s130's 😁)...you'll never ever see a s130 look like yours, ever!!!

280ZX suspenion upgrades
G-Tech replied to dragonsamry7's topic in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis
i started with eibach lowereing springs and tokico shock and struts. then went with ground control weld-in coilovers up front and just cut a rear coil in the back. now i have techno toys coil overs all around. i have nothing bad to say about all their products. if you have or ever do a v8 swap in it then the rear springs will NEED to be stiffer, the car squats real good especially with any v8 i did use coilovers from a 240sx(i forget which year but there is topics on it), they will only fit the rear. they might be fine if you dont have alot of horsepower but i found that it cut down on the amount of travel the rear had and i was bottoming out the coilover when i launched hard.- 1 reply

i try not to be the only one that chims in here but if i was doing my gas tank over i would use stock tank and modify the sending unit to except a intank fuel pump. they have nice ones now that you control the depth of it to insure you get to the bottom of the tank. i have not figured out a great setup for the fuel gauge to work properly yet. i just go by how many miles per tank i get. the gauges i made a piece of ABS plastic to fit in were the original cluster sits. and the 3 little pods except autometer smaller gauges with little mods.i go into detail what i did to my gas tank and the gauges i used on page 1

i used an aluminum rad from JTR. i think you would be good with any aluminum rad. they are not too expensive. and a flex a lite fan with a plastic shroud. i forget the part number but they had one that was real close to the size of my rad.it is just a large single fan with like a S-shaped blade and the shroud was nice cause it wasnt just flat sheet metal. in my eyes, the fan is just as important. i paid just over $200 for the fan. but it has never over heated yet. you might be ok with a flat sheet metal shroud if you want. but i suggest that you dont just zip tie a couple fans to the rad

glad you didnt take offense. you have to be a donating member to put something up for sale. (basically, you need to give a little something if your going to use the forum to make money). i think its like $20 and you will be allowed to post something for sale
-
I think your best bet is to put them up for sale for the high end of what you think is reasonable and put make me an offer. ive seen it in the past that someone puts up a question like yours and others look at it as your really looking to sell it without having to donate to the forum. basically, as if your hoping someone might come on and make an offer for it and then you get to sell it without making the donation..... I am not the person to care and im not saying thats what your doing but i am saying that might be why no one is chiming in with suggestions. Even i question what this category is for in this forum, but im thinking more for someone looking to buy something, wants to know what is a fair price to pay. Im not in the s30 world so i am not able to help you. good luck

troubles with windshield installation 280ZX (s130)
G-Tech replied to G-Tech's topic in S130 Series - 280ZX
Thank you so much for that!!! That is amazing that no one seems to realize that. Even the companies I bought it from never said a thing when I talked to them about not needing the clips anymore. I know the s130 is odd but I knew I wasnt the only one that ran into this. It kinda sucks that those notches on the top of the strip look like they are going to show but whatever...the one installer I had just gave up like I'm just supposed to scrap the car now. Thanks, now hopefully this will be on the record for the next person to run into this -
280zx door seal weatherstripping alternative?
G-Tech replied to Luke_elkins32's topic in S130 Series - 280ZX
nope, no one has started making them yet and finding them on a parts car in decent shape is still not happening. salvage what you can.
