Lots of folks have had to adapt their steering setup for various reasons; and I haven't seen any that complained of negative issues afterwards. Most of the adaptations that I've seen have been custom fabrication; but if you've found a good kit, go for it. Main thing would be to ensure the functional hardware is good quality and the installation is solid....competent welds, stiff bracing, etc.

Free -- you cover the cost of shipping and PayPal fee. Complete set of front and rear calipers for a 280ZX (S130). What you see is what you get...some mounting hardware, some (worn) pads, no rotors or soft lines. Year unknown, working condition unknown. Snagged these a couple years ago on FB Marketplace "just in case I might need them". Turns out I don't. Unless you have a preferred shipper that you can send me an account number/prepaid shipping label/etc; I will ship these flat rate USPS. I can fit everything into a single Large flat-rate box, but it's a heavy sucker. Safer approach might be two Medium flat-rate boxes. Thanks for looking.

That worked...the images posted that time no problem.

@Mr.Roboto, FYI -- tried several times, and am unable to open the image(s); and it doesn't seem to be a working link either. If others are having the same issue, you'll probably need to reload. If you want to message me the image(s), I can try loading from my end. Your call...

As an FYI....it is my understanding that we would not be able to keep HybridZ up & running without those paying advertisers. The donations taken in every year only cover a small portion of the annual operating costs.

Wow...she's looking great, Ben! Nice rebuild after that off at GTA a while back.

Ditto. I think the major tech hurdle is the smart phone's gyro, directional and positional accuracy, which likely just isn't there yet to enable the measurement of tenths of degrees. Maybe @Sam Henao would like to chime in with test/user/anecdotal/etc data? This would be such an awesome capability if it worked as advertised.

Wow! Welcome, and kudos to you for taking on this level of project...it will be extremely rewarding to see it coming back to life. You might want to check out ClassicZCars.com, as well -- they have a very big restoration community there. As an example, check out this thread to see some really nice custom structural metal work: https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/61483-240z-fabbing-new-front-rails/. There are a couple of good vendors for replacement body panels, or you can fabricate your own. https://www.baddogparts.com/store/ https://kfvintagejdm.com/ https://www.facebook.com/DatsunRescue (Adam Sylvester is a genius at locating those impossible-to-find used parts for very reasonable prices). If you're not hung up on this project being a "restoration" (vs resto-mod), that'll free up all kinds of options for you. Example: rather than replacing that half-dash with an expensive, hard-to-find original dash; build your own custom aluminum dash. Looking forward to seeing this beauty come back to life. Cheers!

Nice pieces, and great progress!

What kinds of events are you interested in? The "Roval" at Charlotte Speedway, VIR, and NCCAR are probably the three closest venues to you with road course events, sponsored by different clubs and organizations. If you like, I can PM you links and contact info.

Welcome to the forum -- glad to have you join us! (What took you so long to join?? 😜) Nice job on the 240, and documenting the build. It looked a lot like my 260 did, when I dragged it out of a field 8 years ago not too far from you (Black Mtn). Looking forward to seeing the progress on the RB-swap. As you probably already know, there are some great track events nearby in VA and NC.

Hey guys....not pointing any fingers, but I would like to remind everyone to keep the discussion civil per our Forum Rules (#12 & 13, specifically). We're all on the same team here. Thanks very much.

@Pfunk63, did you get what you need and is your account working correctly for you now?

Done! (I think.) Give it a try and let me know if it works for you now.

Welcome back! Looking at your account info, I see the following message: "Account locked from logging in using this IP address until 01/24/25 10:28 AM following 3 unsuccessful login attempts." So we have a couple options. 1) You can try logging in after the requisite wait time. (You may have to use the "Forgot Password" process, if you don't remember your old password.) 2) I can "merge" your old account with your new account; which should give you full access/control of both accounts. I'm not sure, but I think it may default to your new username; but you may also have the option of renaming it to whatever you want. 3) Now that your new account is approved, you can access and view all your old posts & photos....correct? Does that suffice? Let me know how you'd like to proceed. Cheers!
