I have 1978 280z hub caps, Not sure if you would want them. 25 shipped, all 4.

Care to share more on how this is set up?

Hey guys, I have been approved to make these so I guess I will start a new thread in the Group Buy or something so we can find out how many people want them. I will have to talk to my vinyl maker to see what the pricing is going to be and how they are going to be mailed, being so large. He has experience shipping large vinyls for race cars so it shouldn't be an issue. Kinser

Wonder if the shell of that parts car can be saved. How bad is the rot. Looks like a series 1.

My A-Arms are the same only on days the end with y?

I don't have a spring hooked up on my 240sx, feels like a normal clutch pedal. EDIT: Tip for bleeding the clutch. When you bleed it. Have somebody pump it and hold it. The when you crack the bleeder, have them keep holding it. While you remove the slave cylinder from the transmission. Push the piston backwards to force air trapped in front of the bleeder on the piston out of the bleeder. Reinstall the slave cylinder then tighten the bleeder. Make sure the said person holding the clutch never lets up during this process! Hope this helps, I did it with my 240sx and it made a world of difference. Kinser

That could be possible. I will talk to my buddy and see what Dan and Ron think about it. Kinser

This is true. To be honest with you I don't give a lick if he paints it what he wants. Its his car, just like my car is my car. I am by no means a purist. I just think the ZAPP paint is cool and kinda unique. Its very 70's and I like it. Cool find in my opinion. Kinser

The problem with them on the front is you have to cut the application paper and put the curve in in manually so that it will look right. Basically a slit between each letter then curve it as you apply and just make sure you use soapy water so you can move it at will till it is where you want it. EDIT: with Dans permission I may be able to have a few made if people are wanting them after I put them on there. I can't just go and do it without him saying I can, I don't want to ruffle feathers like I said. Plus I would like Ron's permission since he already has some Vinyls for sale.

Thanks! It is actually going on the hatch. Another reason I wanted it is so people know why some jackass passed them going way to fast driving like an idiot! (totally JK, racing is for the track, not the street!)

Well, I hope I don't ruffle any feathers, I have a buddy that has a vinyl cutter. I had him make me a HybridZ.org Vinyl that stretches the entire back window of the Z across the top. I wanted to get more people attracted to the site that has made my entire car possible. From all the knowledge I have gained from this site and all the help it has given me. Whether that it was somebody helping me with an issue I was having, or a part that I have found here. I want to get more people attracted to what we have going on and just how great of a site this is. I figured I would post up and show you guys what it is. Its not on the car yet but that is because I haven't decided which hatch I am actually going to use yet. Once again, I just want to thank Everybody that has helped me out, especially the Admins/Mods and most importantly, SuperDan, for providing the site and everybody who has donated to help keep such a great site running. Sorry the picture is kinda poor, I had to put it on the window to see it through the masking.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP Repaint that and die.

Sorry that what I have won't work. I was un-aware there was actually a difference. All I know if my R180 came out of a 1972 240z.

I need 2 injector holders for my 280z. I only need two but if you have a set and will only sell as a set then that is fine. Reply here or PM me your price. Kinser

I think if it was a power brake issue then your pedal would get stiff. Maybe the plunger on your brake booster fell off. Try searching. You will find more than enough information.

Lots is, I used an entire 77 wiring harness on a 72. Engine, engine mounts, brake calipers, rear end, doors will NOT, as well as a few other parts.

You do understand that cutting a coil off changes the spring rate yes?

So like the entire side of the diff? I was going to upbolt just the shaft today, but I realized in doing so I was going to spill fluid everywhere. I need to drain out the differential then find motivation to tear it apart I guess. I still need to put my R200 back together. You need like that 5 bolt plate off the side and all?

I understand that. It is a bracket for 82-83 280zx calipers and rotors, I was probably going to do a bit of redesign working with another local guy to get just a set of prototypes made. I think we decided that using only 2 holes was not the best engineering practice (the plate is 1/2inch thick there) and that to avoid removing the stub axles we will utilize 3 holes instead of just two or all 4. My planning and doing the work myself will actually keep the cost down, rather than spending 165 dollars plus shipping on brackets I will spend near 80 a pair if all goes right. Free setup costs and cheaper CNC time with the guy I am working with. Material cost is the only big killer in it. Other than that, I will be 50/50 splitting cost on materials and machine work on 2 sets to split between me and the other said person. On another note, I got new hex head hardware for the injectors, love Lowes, the stock m5x.8x30 Hex head bolts apparently. Just waiting on finishing up a trade deal as I need 2 more injector holders (one is broken and I apparently lost the other) so then I can pretty much wrap up the fuel system. Still need to run lines but it shouldn't be to difficult.

Got my new injectors, working on brakes still. Talking with another local z owner and seeing if we can't figure out the brackets for us at a decent price to get me some prototypes and get everything setup. Then if it works out well I may be able to provide the kit to others. I still need to put my differential back together all the way just been kinda on a lazy amount here. Will get that done soon. Pictures of changes to car to come.

well, I have a full diff but I guess I can try to pop those shafts out. What are you looking to pay?

Saw this ealier, was going to post it, no idea it was up hear, was beat to it! DANG! its green 240z. Yep. EDIT: to be added to commercial '30 years of driving'

Figure out how to do it then tell us, 5 lug swap ftw. LOL

what do you mean it has no windows? The only ones I don't see are door glass, the rest are there. It its a car with huge tires and a solid axle. I say it is street able because I have seen them like that driven on the street. I wouldn't pay 4,000 for it but that is because my uses are not there in that car.
