  1. You think a 240sx or Skyline clutch will be cheaper than a stock dinky 280z clutch? :D The L28 clutch costs $100-$120 at Autozone / Napa / Checker / Kragen / Pepboys.... doubt you could get a "skyline" or "240sx" (RB / KA / SR) clutch for under $150.

     

    Nismo..it cant be that cheap...for a total clutch replacement?..Im not all sure what "totally" replacing the clutch is all about , all the parts and all..gotta be just the clutch and not the throw out and pressure plate..if so please let me know..one way or the other.

     

    Thanks for responding

  2. I worried more about getting rear ended with no bumper (like the stocker would help at all!) than I did about getting a ticket, so I welded in a piece of thick wall 3x3 tubing between the frame rails as close to the rear sheet metal as possible. I haven't been stopped yet for no bumper, but AZ is alot more lax than other states.

     

     

    That stocker will help more than you realize especially on a 77 or 78 but I too am toying with the idea of shaving the back of my 77..or maybe going with a 240 rear bumper..no front just the same type of air dam I had on my 78...but I was "tapped" a few years ago in the rear..and truthfully that baby was stiff..kept my car from being damaged more than it was...darned things sure do look good with the bumpers off , spoiler and shaved.

  3. Anyone have any idea outside of the factory orig clutch..total..pressure plate , throwout etc will go into a 77-280...what about a 240 SX ...Skyline or well help..dont have the $$ right now to go to the dealer and buy a total clutch assembly as in OEM..so I need some ideas...HELP...and thanks

  4. Have no idea as of this time...I'm just considering selling it...you have any idea what might be a fair price for her...this car is seriously in super shape..I bought it 6 years ago from a guy who was 72 at that time..had owned her from day one plus the sequential serial numbered mate to her..his son had that one in Florida..this car is totally from South Carolina..upstate and midlands..never been to the beach or around salt water or salted streets for those from up north..

  5. Might be in the market to sell a 77 Z car..body panels are in very good shape and straight..hood has a couple of slight scratches.. bumpers are in great shape interior is totally intact..and in very good shape as in no holes in the seats..does need new carpet..engine has 92,180 original miles on it..rubber all around should be replaced to make this car look seriously good with and considering its 30+ years old a new paint job..roof and hatch need repainting...anyway just wondered if anyone is possibly interested..might consider trade for a 90's model...will take pics of the car this weekend if anyone is interested..

     

    One thing ...the clock doesnt work....lol

  6. Looks great , just think it would look better painted to match the rest of the car..as well as some tire shine on the tires for the next set of pics..like the look but would like it even better if the AD matched the paint of the body..

     

    Question..whats the toggle switch for as well as how did you redo the dash area where the radio should be..that looks pretty cool..but would like to know about the toggle for sure.

  7. i havent done a damn thing. i have been occupied with my turbo swap components. porting and matching a p90a head, turbo manifold and n42 non egr intake. i am close to done and will start to get back to all of the little things that my car needs. what all have you tried if anything at all?

     

    Nothing ...absolutely nothing..our house was struck by lightning and Ive been for some odd reason preoccupied with that..however the Z is fine...

  8. Question...best sounding muffler with a header and then without a header..want some noise..nothing too loud , but then want it to sound like well damn..thats an old sports car next to me..wonder just wonder ...nah better not..so what Im wanting to know again is with a header what sounds really good , then without a header what sounds really good..

     

    Thanks

  9. Have a 77 that has a manifold that over the years has shrunk or so Im told by two or three exhaust companies..I have a header that a friend gave to me a couple of years ago..all things considered and the fact that I know the head mechanic for a Rolex team who has told me he would put it on with the exhaust for 450.00..well all things considered I think Im going for it..what the heck a little more horsepower for the ol'girl..why not..
