Still looking!

I may cut springs on the 240z 72' for the time being

Dmn man shes pretty did you catch her name? BTW the door panel would look really really good if it had a tiny z next to 240 BUT still looks good either way.

Bad to the bone

Thats what I thought. Thank you for letting me know!

I like the headliner, did you do it or have it done? Was soft cell foam used in the design? Keep up the good work

I like, I actually have that color in a few spray paint cans.

Prices for Snap-On are expensive thats for sure. It add's up REAL FAST but to me it just seemed worth it. I notice a huge difference in the gearing's and feel. I havent had 1 Snap-On tool break yet but if it does I know I'll see my truck driver every day around 5pm and just get another and dont have to drive anywhere to get them replaced. I use my 18v cordless Snap-On pretty much every day which prob. takes a tremendous load off the manual tools, pretty werid to use it tho, been used to hand tools for the last 16 years and when I pick up the Impact I suppose it feels like a 8 track to a mp3 player to an old school mechanic.

I understand now, I think it is def. do able, as its been done plenty of time AND with you're location getting the needed parts is almost like going to the candy shop. Are you doing the motor work or having someone do it?

Sent Mario, thank you.

Whats the reason of having a higher reving sr then what normally is there? Are you planning on using this for a track for sliding? Dont get me wrong, just wanting to understand... Theres a fellow I know for many years who swapped out rb20 for heavy built sr20 specific track setup pushing 450ish in a skyline 32. His 1 and only reason to do it was to keep up very high speed along the banks of Irwindale. and then a crash lol http://www.wreckedmagazine.com/watchvideo/vaughn-gittin-jr-vs-sammy-tiger

I used to buy all the normal brand tools but they kept breaking on subframes/complete breakdown of a chassis being used daily to work on numerous cars, got fed up one day and said from now on Snap-on but also because I was able to get a solid credit line with the main account and the truck account. I spent a few days marking off what I needed. To be honest, theres tools I still havent even used yet. But either way, there are some tools that I just cant wait for IE one late night I needed a pully puller to pull off a rb25 crank and a few universal tools so I went over to the local parts store and they worked but have doubts as to how long under daily use. Anyhow, kinda went off topic with the tools but thats sweet those bits still hold there weight in work, I have 1 set of same type that Ive had for 10 years, but slowly 1x1 they break at the tips (no biggie replacing bits tho)

P/M replied to as well.

I have a 81zx Im parting out. All the 5 speed swap stuff was to be sold to another member on here but that went south. I sold the transmission but everything else related is up for sale. Willing to ship and paypal ready. P/M me if you'd like to get this stuff.

I actually have a small can of that! I used it on the cowl screws and it worked just fine, must have slipped my mind hah Thanx Sir. I'll def. look into that. I have a credit account with Snap-on, might be overkill but my driver comes by every day and all previous tools come from there. Thank you for that advice tho Sir! Will check out Harbor Freight as well.

I tried that but I suppose Ill need a larger phillips head driver and it was stuck pretty good. PB blaster coming soon! Thanx fellows

I had no problems getting the rear hatch off my 280zx 81' but Im having great trouble getting the hatch lid to come out from my 240z 72'. I removed the gas strut and with a friend held it while I removed the 4 12mm bolts from the hinge to body. Its un bolted but cant seem to figure out how to get it free. We tried moving the hatch up and down from side to side and even pulling the hinges while pulling back on the hatch lid its self. Any tips or pointers would greatly help out as Im needing to remove everything from the body for prep and paint.

Lol ^

Heart pounding!

Those things are fun, played with them from time to time lol

Still looking

In good condition, no dents please. Id like it to have the stainless trim around it but it doesnt need to have the internal parts IE window track/glass but door handle is a plus. Im parting out an 81' zx if you are looking for part on trade just click sig link. Located in Atlanta, prefer to do local but depending on price would take shipped. P/M or reply here thanx.
