Hey guys whats up, working on the car, hopefully its gonna be done in 6 weeks. Anyway, I was trying to figure out how do I remove the exterior chrome strip thats below the window at the top of the door on the exterior. Its one solid strip, i tried prying at a little bit but i just feel like i'm going to break it. How do you get it off?

:lmao::lmao::lmao: Everybody is writing long stories, you get it done in 5 words. haha

its 100 amps, thanks for the help guys this is great.

double pole breakers require 2 spaces not 4. if you read rdsk8ers post you can see he is explaining that I am going to turn 4 circuit breakrs into 2 by using twin breakers, therefore freeing up 2 spaces for a doubel pole.

thanks a lot rad, appreciate it. Thats exactly what I needed to learn woot woot, had no idea "twin" breakers were around haha.

grumpyvette i appreciate you posting in my threads,your a real smart guy. you went a bit off topic from my original question buts ok. as far as getting a generate/welder. I am definetly not spending that kind of cash. I can get a great deal on a hobart handler 210 so I just need to figure out how im gonna get my 220v hook up.

haha each garage doesnt have its own meter. I dont feel bad though. Its only for the compressor and welder which very rarely will be used. I still need help getting through this though. Another question I have, if this is a subpanel in the garage, which I think it might. I cannot put a ground wire in the neutral bar right?

The garage isnt attached to my condo. There is a strip of 10 garages, the first garage, which is mine, just so happens to have th service panel in it. So I can do whatever I want without anybody knowing.

would this be ok and safe to do, tapping 2 single pole breakers?

alright folks I need some help before I try to do this. I think I have a pretty good understanding of electricity but need some help before I actually start. I live in a townhouse and the garages are detached, luckily The strip of garages, the first garage has a service panel in it and sure thats my garage!. I technically cant even mess with it but I really dont care becaues nobody is going ot know. I opened up the panel and looked in it. There are no more empty spaces left to add a circuit breaker. There are a few double pole breakres and then there are a majority of single pole 15amp breakers. Those 15amp breakers are the circuit breakers for the few 120 volt ciruicts in every individual garage. Now, since there isnt a space to add a circuit breaker. Can I just TAP 2 single pole 15 amp breakers and run those wires to a receptacle? That would mean each of the 2 single pole breakers would be feeding 2 power wires, do you get what im saying? would that be ok? Also, the air compressor I have is rated at 15amp, would 30amps be safe and would a 30amp be enough to run a 210amp welder?

Im already a member but dont post often(I will be going to meets though as soon as my car is done). Im also the kid who briefly worked at autobarn and told Eric about chicagoz.

I was buildling a motor up for a 510. I bought the motor first and basically had a fully built motor. A buddy of mine showed me that chris,a mechanic from garage kwai who I knew was selling the car on ebay. I called him up and we working something out and I instantly dropped the 510 project.

my 77 rhd z. its getting built right now, goals are 500whp sr20 and new white paint job.

Hey guys whats up. Its been a while since ive posted but I have been working on the car and hopefully it will be completely done in about 3 months. Im am going to keep updating this thread, here are some pics that I have so far. While buildilng up the car, at the same time im "building" my garage. This is the first time Ive ever had a garage and mostly worked on my car outside in the parking lot... haha. Plans for the car: Sheetmetal dash Motor build with sc61 setup Haltech Fixing few rust spots, and painting the car s2000 white Thats my friend standing next to it, thats how I bought the car from a buddy of mine.

I have a rhd 77 z. If you need interior parts let me know. Gutted the whole thing and im goingto aluminum dash. My dash has one major crack. I have all the ac/heater parts. Not using anything that was inside the car. Or the windshield wipers.

Im starting my resto project this weekend, I really would like to have my car sandblasted, all my panels repaired and painted befoer the end of this month. Anyway, the right side rocker panel needs to go. I own a 77 2+2 and sure enough of course nobody makes the replacement parts for a 2+2. I was wondering, how close it would it be to just buy a coupe rocker panel, cutting it in half and welding metal in between to extend it. Think this is a good idea?

Yea when I go close the door its slam slam slam door bounces back. Close it lightly and it sounds like it catches but you can just lightly grab the door and get it to un latch. Sounds like some adjusting would just take care of it, when I take the car apart il see what I can do, thanks for the help dskub.

Its not what im looking for, I already said I read the above sticky. From the sticky, I think I have a later style latch. Any other suggestions from anyone?

I read the above sticky, but here is my problem. I have a 77 280z, its rhd, from japan. My passanger side door, left side, will not close. Its closed now but it took me 30 minutes of playing with it to get it catch around the body latch. Im new to owning an old Z, any suggestions on what parts to replace and where to get them from?

Hey omar whats up man, hope your on chicagoz I wouldnt mind checking out your car some time. I bought chris from garage kwai's old rhd 280z with sr20 in it. Hope to see you at some meets.

how you going to get this to work, sr20 trans is electrical not mechanical, you need the electrical autometer gauge i would think.
