    Hi Spitz17, Thanks for the reply. $150 is only shorten and balancing. Thus, I decided to try to replace u- joint by myself. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/engine-drivetrain-s30/52686-u-joint-driveshaft.html#post460352

    Thanks for the info, Crusher. How much did you pay for the service? Badler, Wow, that's nice to build brand new one! However, I'm not serious for racing or so, I rather just shorten my extra 280z driveshaft. Thanks Spitz17 That's great to know the shop hsa good reputation! I also found article about South Bay Driveline. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/103882-drive-shaft-gap-after-240sx-transmission-conversion-swap-in-280z/?p=971547 I got quote from them , it's $150 for shorten driveshaft. Did you replace U-joint also? Reading Blue's article: http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/ujoint/index.html I couldn't find Spicer 5-1501x. Thus, I order Moog / Precision 391 instead. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009HQK7QU/ref=pe_385040_30332200_TE_item

    Glad to hear your update. I also started new job since May. Commute from San Jose to South SF is killing me... Nice to get P30-0032! Are you going to build coilover?

    Did you use correct seal? Sounds like the seal is smaller. I rebuild tranny, but I did not have any issue. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/111648-10-years-after-hybernation-75-280z/page-4

    While Watching FIFA World Cup Germany vs France, update my progress. I work for Germany company, but my manager is French. Which side should I be... I got Hakosuka NOS fender mirror via Yahoo! Japan Auction. Need to paint in black. Assemble mirror. Use hair dryer to soften the plastic black ring to remove mirror. I use Duplicolor Trim Black paint this time. Thanks Alan T., aka HS30-H. for sharing information. I follow his instruction to drill holes. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/50023-fender-mirror-install/?p=549483 The big hole is up to 11/16"

    I saw CL ads. Congrats for the sales. The new owner is the lucky guy with this great deal of beloved 260z.

    Thanks Seattlejester, terse, I used PPG products. For Epoxy primer, PPG ESU 470. http://www.nedsautobodysupply.com/PPG_ESU470_Epoxy_Primer.pdf For basecoat, PPG Shopline JBX 3.5 VOC For clear, PPG Shopline JC7200 2.1 VOC HS European Clearcoat. However, it was my first attempt, I did not satisfy result. Waterbase paint is so thin and so easy to get chip off just a little scratch. Painting car is so difficult. I recommend to shop around paint shop in your local area. I will re-paint over the July 4th weekend with Urethan paint. Since I decided to redo painting, I also decided to fix a roof a bit. So hot Summer time!

    Hi Perfect240z, I already cut the fenders to fit those big tires:-) I kept using JB Weld to fix the dash, but it causes another crack while sanding.... Got better bondo. And Primer Bumper texture. I paint too close distance. a lot of dripping... A bit too shiny. Final flat black interior paint.

    I'm not sure, but is it good enough for rear?

    It's been busy after starting new job few weeks ago. I started working on fixing crack of my dash. I need to remove dash in order to install side trim interior anyway before install from windshield. I removed dash carefully not to add more crack damage. Some of the gauge is harder to remove due to the deform of the dash. So, I follow typical instruction to fill "Gap Remover" from HomeDepot. Then Bumper repair. I can't find NAPA's bumper repair anywhere @ eBay, I used JB Weld instead after 1st sanding. Sanding, new crack show up ,JB Weld to fill, Sanding, new crack show up ,JB Weld to fill, Sanding, new crack show up ,JB Weld to fill, .... I kept repeating several times... Try & error, Oversanding...

    How can we make a raffle entry with $1 or $2? Any paypal account info? Thanks!

    No. You don't need clear coat since I apply SEM Sand free. It's adhesion promoter.
  22. tamo3
    I'm glad to hear that. It's easy project and it become better than 40 years old original finish for sure

    Hi terse, I used SEM Landau Black 15013 spary for all interior. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/SEM2/15013/N0477.oap?ck=Search_N0477_-1_-1&pt=N0477&ppt=C0171 My original interior panel was brown and I wanted change to black interior. First of all, wash and cleaned up with TSP. Then, spray SEM 38363 Sand Free http://www.amazon.com/Products-38363-Sand-Free-Aerosol/dp/B00B3HXM6I While the paint is still wet, I spray the SEM Landau Black 2-3 coating. This paint is stink! But once it get dry, it beautiful flat (egg shell) black. You can paint it vinyl surface too. You can see the difference of the cheap black paint on the dash panel.

    Working on Power Lock and Power Window. I purchased SPAL Two-Door Power Lock Kit 37000148 and switch. Also, I purchase power window kit VPA-80127C from local guy @ craigslist. It's old model, but it's brand new. First, I cleaned up and paint center console. Cut the hole for the power window switches. Try to avoid breaking nut hole of the ashtray holding screw. The SPAL kit comes with paper model to easily to place and make a hole. I need to trim a bit of the actuator since it grinding window frame. Also, the holding parts of of the rod is not wide enough hole. I need to make it bigger hole. and installed!
