  1. Want to buy spindle pin removal tool. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/48567-spindle-pin-puller-loaner-program/ Does anyone have one? Thanks, tamo3
  2. Thanks Dave for the information. I missed step 21, 22. Now I got it!
  3. Which gland nuts did you use? Did you use VW gland nuts comes with your P30-0032? Or did you get 51mm x 1.5 gland nuts somewhere? If you so, could let me know where did you get it? Thanks, tamo3
  4. At Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Bilstein%20P30-0032http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Bilstein%20P30-0032 There are Bilstein for Voklswagen. Does it work for 240z/280z?
  5. Working on rebuilding Toyota 4Runner S12W brake caliper. One of the piston got stuck and couldn't removed. I got advice from ClassicZ folks to mount caliper tot the Z to pump brake pedal to remove it. I realized that the spacer I got is for 240z and it's too thick for 280z. Does anyone want to exchange Slivermine Spacer for 280z version with my 240z version? Or I will sell this $90+shipping.
  6. It's really nice paint job!
  7. I'm so sorry to hear your family's big lost. I can't imagine how crucial pain your family has been through. Rest in peace...
  8. Is it stock MR2 shocks? How's the ride?
  9. Looks great. Which coilover kit and shock did you use?
  10. '75-'76 might be same, but it's different from '77-'78
  11. You can check what in the box 240z http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=7.18101 280z http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=7.18102
  12. Perfect240z, I think 240z72 is taking about this one. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/3684155210.html
  13. Your interior is so nice! Where did you buy your carpet kit?
  14. Hi mistah mofro, I'm sorry to hear wrecked your purple Z. Do you have electric fuel pump? By the way, I like your team's GUNDAM like logo sticker too! tamo3
  15. 240z... hmmmmm.... I sold her.... She has two major cancer. Once is floor pan on passenger's side and the other is rear hatch lid. I was planning to mount R200, L28, install fat fuel line... i realized that decent body condition of 280z is much easier to archive this. Then I met this lady and decide to just keep one. Engine is running strong now! But need to work on brake and clutch now. Brake fluid is completely leaked out down to the body and paint under the BMC area is pealed out. I wonder what is the best way to adhoc fix paint for this area...
  16. Are you looking for passenger's side front valence piece or all 3 pieces? I might have extra front turn signal from 240z and passenger's side front valence.
  17. Rebuild Nabco 15/16 Brake MC that taken from 1979 280ZX. Since 1979-83 280zx Brake MC repair kit is sold out RockAuto forever, I used brake cylinder parts only from 84 280zx Brack Dragon Repair kit. It fit really well.
  18. Thanks Leon, Can I see it next time when I stop by your home?
  19. I'm looking for gas pedal for '75 280z. Let me know if you have spare one you don't need it in your storage. Thanks, tamo3
  20. Last night, I check fuel line, whether fuel is coming to injector or not. Following trouble shooting on "280z Fuel injection book" page 37, http://4moores.com/280z/files/280zfuelinjectionbook.pdf I want to check fuel pump. In order to hear the sound of fuel pump (actually fuel dumper) I need to disable starting motor. - Unplug shin line connect to solenoid on Starter motor. - Turn ignition ... I can hear the fuel dumper's sound! Good, I don't have to buy another fuel pump! Connect back the line and turn the ignition... Engine start revving! I was surprise how easy to run the engine that hasn't been running after 10 years. Since it was late night, I just shut off engine within 2 mins. The cold idle is still unstable, will check it back this weekend!
  21. Thank Moltar. It was steal deal. Cheaper than majority of the parts car you can find SF Bay Area.
  22. Anyway, pour oil around camshaft, and closed valve cover and pour in rest of the new oil. Pour in coolant as well. Pour in new gas too. Next thing is ignition check. Swap to new battery. Check distributor. Compare with 240z, around distributor is so crowded. It much harder to unlock the distributor cap. Check to rotor, cap, and inside the distributor. It's looks OK condition. Finally, turn ignition on! .......................... does not start engine as you expected... Remove spark plug #1 and put it on the top of valve cover with wired. Turn ignition to see whether I can see the flash on the spark plug. ...... No spark. OK, change spark plug wire to NGK RC-NE61, and change coil to MSD Blaster 2. I need to order Blaster 2 bracket. original coil diameter is way too big. I was puzzled whether I need to put ballast resistor as same as what I had on 240z, but for 280z, I don't need it. I will double check with wiring map later. Turn ignition again to see... I can see flash now Reference of MSD Blaster 2 coil onto stock 280z http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/electrical-s30/46724-msd-blaster-2-stock-efi-l28-76-280z.htmlhttp://www.classiczcars.com/forums/electrical-s30/46724-msd-blaster-2-stock-efi-l28-76-280z.html
