  1. I am prepping a 1976 280z for paint. I'm assuming most people separate the sugar scoop from the fender when painting the car and paint both separately? Is there a gasket or anything that sits between them? Anyone have any experience or pictures where the scoop is welded to the fender? Obviously there would be a chance to warp the metal. But given they are tightly bolted together, curved surfaces, and it's a flanged butt joint, seems like it would be fairly resistant to warping. Seems straightforward to jump around making a lot of tack welds, grind smooth and finish with a skim coat of filler. But I wanted to get some opinions. Any pictures would be great. Thanks in advance.

  3. I am painting the car, I could weld it. Any reason to have the foam there? Otherwise I could try and fit some double sided foam tape.
  4. I am removing the dash on my 1976 280z. In the instructions I've read online, it says to disconnect the metal cables from the heater control. One was obvious, I used a Philips screwdriver to loosen a screw and the rod slid out. There are other rods and cables that aren't so obvious to me. The end of the rod has an S bend and I can't get it out. There is more than one. Am I going about this wrong? Does the control mechanism come out with the dash?
  5. I am breaking down a 1976 280z to prep for media blasting. As I was breaking down the hatch, I noticed that there was a bracket in the lower middle, just above the release button. It's not attached to the outer skin. It almost looks like there was a piece of foam between it and the sheet metal. Can anyone shed some light on this?
  6. I am breaking down both doors on my 1976 280z as I prepare for media blasting. The first part was this small roller connected to a bracket that was slid inside the outer stainless door trim. There was only one on the passenger door, none on the driver's door: The other thing I was wondering about is these pieces that were on the outside corners of the doors. I'm sure at one point they were pliable rubber, but now they are rock hard: Any help identifying these parts is appreciated. Thanks
  7. Oh so you are basically clamping the lower lip of the air dam instead of running bolts through the air dam itself? Makes sense. Thanks for sharing.
  8. Thanks a lot granny, great pictures. What are those 3 light blue pieces that you affixed to the aluminum splitter? Also, what thickness aluminum did you use and are you happy with it? Would you change anything if you redid it?
  9. Hey guys, I am currently fitting up a Xenon urethane 3124 type 1 air dam on my 1976 280z. When I have the air dam clamped in place, the outer edges of the dam are slightly past the fenders (see picture). It's the same on both sides. Is this normal and what do people do to correct this?
  10. Up for sale is an extremely rare LSD diff from a turbo 300zx. Comes with the rare finned cover. This came with a car I purchased but I will not be using it. It has a 3.70 gear ratio. I have not run the diff myself and therefore cannot personally confirm it's running condition, but it looks to be in good shape. $1200
  11. I also made a donation but my profile does not indicate so
  12. I cannot post a new thread in the parts for sale forum?
  13. I have an LSD r200 with 3.70 gear ratio. Check out the thread here:
  14. Thanks everyone. Does anyone have a link to an ad or forum link where someone is selling one or sold one? Do 300zx guys buy these or just mainly s30 guys?
  15. I would have considered it, but I swapped in a Ford super 8.8 instead
  16. Thanks man. I did get the spindle pin out of the other one but didn't want to hassle with this one.
