Ditto for me....I'm in exactly the same situation as both of y'all; so I'm interested to see what kind of responses there are. One nugget of information I can share is that most of these EPS units are HEAVY; and additional bracing is typically needed on the stock steering column mounts/bracketry.

You're probably not far off the mark at that number. Used LSD R180's regularly sell for $700-800; and it seems that R200's long-nose are not so easy to get anymore (IMHO). The real challenge may be finding the buyer that wants the entire lot of parts, especially both diffs. You might have better luck if you're willing to sell pieces individually. (Shipping costs could be a bear...consider looking at discount freight shippers like Blue Lane Freight through Fastenal.) Good luck with it...you've got some nice piece-parts there.

Yes, he is; and he's looking into various solutions to address this and other issues we've been having with the site. He will let us know if there's a need for additional resources, due to any necessary changes in site hosting.

FYI -- @Kickstand80 has not been active on this site for the last two years. You may want to try messaging him through the site's private messaging system. You can also try emailing him, or texting him, at the contact info he provided in his post.

Using a VPN can also slow down network and website response times. If you're running a VPN, try turning it off and see if that helps the issue. Not an ideal solution, but worth a try...

Nice pieces…GLWS! Had the same experience when I was looking for the ZX calipers a couple years ago; they were impossible to find anywhere!

Glad it worked. I'd recommend hanging on to the Temporary account for a little while....just long enough to ensure that DrFeelGood account continues working without issues. It's no problem from an admin perspective. Cheers!

Done. You may also want to post in the "Parts Wanted" section, as well.

Exactly! Well-said. That's a great-looking underside - nice work, @MONZTER!

Sure, NP. I *think* I've rectified the issue. Can you try to login to that original account, and let me know if it's working correctly for you now? You can send me PM if there's still a problem, and need me to relook it. I'm tagging @tube80z, as this transpired before my time as site admin....he may have more of the background on what happened to that original account back then. Cheers.

FWIW...we're still getting 20-30 new registrations every month. The challenge is how to keep them interested and engaged. We've made some changes to the forum admin to hopefully encourage increased participation and minimize spam, and we're open to any and all suggestions to help keep the forum moving forward.

I remember when you were selling your car (I think everyone was saying "Don't do it!"). Welcome back, and thanks for keeping your webpage going....I always enjoy perusing other's sites; and usually get some good ideas for my own projects. Cheers!

Great progress! The car's underside, as a whole, looks really good. 👍👍 Sorry I don't recognize that little L-shaped bracket -- it may be custom, from a previous owner.

Congratulations on your new purchase, and welcome to the forum! The car looks like a really clean original example -- interested to see how it unfolds as the project progresses. Thanks so much for sharing; and I hope you enjoy your Z-car as much as we do ours!! 😜

Ditto. Seems slower to load than previously -- I've also noticed it's worse with some web browsers vs others, depending on what operating system you have. I'm only guessing here...but it may be due to the fact that our hosting site has certain updates available, but they all cost $ and we don't have the funds to pay for them. Dan's been running the forum on a shoestring budget for several years now (often paying for operating expenses out of his own pocket); and as a result, our software's not fully up to date.

Hey Pete- Good to hear from you. I still enjoy your website after many years. I don't know how much significance is attached to those member ranks and titles anymore, now that the forum has matured and is well past it's heavy-growth period. You're not crazy...there used to be a user here "nivlaC". He joined Nov 2011 and last visited Sep 2012. At some point, he was flagged as a spammer; which is why his profile and posts are no longer visible to forum users. I don't know why that happened; but maybe some of the other OG members will have more insight. We've been playing with different ideas on how to re-stimulate HBZ, so please feel free to chime in if you've got suggestions. Cheers!

Good work! (And nice garage/shop -- I'm jealous!!)

John Washington (ZTrix) would probably be a good resource to talk to....he's been building/installing those for many years. I like what you've done with your front core support -- did something very similar on my car when I replaced the front frame rails. Great progress -- love seeing your updates!! 👍👍 https://www.ztrix.com/

Many, many discussion threads on this exact topic. Here's just one; but it should be helpful for you. You didn't mention if you had done any body or suspension work, so I'm assuming you are stock all around.

Sorry, I misunderstood the question. It's a much easier proposition if you're just looking to flip it, IMHO....particularly if you can attract out-of-state buyers. Every state has their own unique requirements for titling and registration, and prospective buyers will (should) know that going into the deal. You will typically have to sell it "below" market value without a title, so be sure to factor that into your decision on how to proceed.

Ugh...broken bolts in the block. What a pain. At least the motor was already out of the car! 👍 Making great progress -- keep the updates coming!!

Congrats...that shell looks pretty dang straight! As much as I hate to admit this, you'll probably get quicker/more responses to that particular question via Social Media. I can recommend some pretty good Z-car pages on FB, if you like. I wouldn't usually recommend FB for technical questions/discussions....but for an administrative question on a re-title, it might yield some good results for you. Again, welcome to the forum; and please keep the updates coming as your project progresses. What are your plans/goals for the car?

Appreciate the suggestion. Will take a look there; although I have to say our "350Z" sub-forum hasn't really seen much activity in the last few years, unfortunately. 🙁

Check this out for chassis stiffening ideas. You're already ahead of the game, going with a full cage. https://imgur.com/a/chassis-stiffening-inspiration-R27sh

Yeah, good point. It's a new feature we're trying out. We're still working out the kinks; so I apologize in advance if you're receiving duplicate notifications. Thanks for the feedback!
