    AGP?

    Where did you get those door cards? I've been looking into a custom job and that's the exact layout and colors I had planned on.

    280Z A-pillar question

    calZ replied to calZ's topic in Interior

    Thanks! It looks like the slots are on slightly raised bosses. Is that right?

    I'm interested in fitting a set of the plastic a-pillar and head rail trims that came on on the 280 in 1977-78. I can see that the a-pillar trims mount with just two screws, but I haven't been able to find a picture or see in-person how the mounting screws attach to the pillar. If there are simply holes in the metal, that's easily replicable on a 240z. If there are standoffs, that gets a bit more finicky. Does anyone know offhand or have a picture/car they could show me to answer the question?

    My only concern was that plumbing in all of the cylinders might reduce the flow gains out of 5 and 6.

    This link says they're all the same https://www.zcar.com/forum/10-70-83-tech-discussion-forum/125714-ld28-crankshaft.html#/topics/125714

    If you made it a separate piece from your current mount, you could just leave it installed on the car when you raise or lower the diff.

    I've ordered from ZCarDepot(other parts, not fenders). They've been reliable and quick in my experience.

    One of those should have it.

    Have you tried Google? http://www.blackdragonauto.com/features/z/zb2.htm

    On subsequent episodes, they've mentioned that they don't remember if it was from a Hilux or Hi-Ace. Might be worth checking out what kind of booster comes on that.

    The whole purpose of this swap is to do something cheap and readily available. If you use a material that requires heat treating and a specialty welder, you alienate almost the entire target market.

    Oh, you want a compressor bracket. I think everyone was confused since you originally said condenser. The Nostalgic AC bracket that you linked was the cheapest option I could find through my searches.

    I don't think that was for the masses. If it was, they would have shown how they built it. I think Nik just really wants a motorized flip front, and since this is his ridiculous project he's going to do it exactly like he wants. It would be a shame to spend a couple thousand hours on something and then think, "I wish I had..." every time you look at it.

    You might have to update your price after the last 8 years. $2k doesn't get what it used to.

    How is the headlight rewire done? I've seen the thread about rewiring the signal lights, but not the headlights.

    R1Rs are fantastic. They are the only tire I like better than the Rivals. They're also excellent in the rain, so that might be a good street car option if you like to drive your car in varying conditions. We run 225/45R15 on our MR2. I'd be careful with the Rival S. You add grip compared to the regular Rival but lose longevity.
  21. calZ
    Yeah, I would guess those were from the initial batch that had issues. We and a ton of other ChumpCar teams have run them with no problems recently.
  22. calZ
    When did you get your tires? There seemed to be some chunking problems with Rivals when they were first released, but they've been great over the past couple years.

    Transmission mount will get mounted to holes drilled in the floor, correct?

    https://nostalgicac.com/compressors/compressors/datsun-240z-260z-280z-compressor-upgrade-kit.html I emailed them and they sold me the bracket by itself. It's pricey, but a good option if you don't want to do the fab work.

    It's a shame the car he started with was in such rough shape. The work he did actually looked pretty promising.
