I have a set of axles if you still need them. I sold my Z so these won't be needed. I can get pics if you need them.

Thanks my friend but I'm ok now.

Crisis overted my friends! Upon closer inspection I realized that heat was the cause of the contact sinking below the surface of the socket. The part that holds the contact is plastic so I fought fire with fire. I used a soldering iron with a dab of solder on the end and touched it to the contact. It then melted the plastic enough to move the contact back to its original position. I win!! Ha ha

It has 3 wires going to it and holds a dual element bulb. The problem with mine is one of the contacts in the bottom of the plug has sunk down below the surface of the socket and won't make contact with the bulb

I tried 3 different parts stores. I even made Oreily's break out the book and they didn't have or were able to order one.

Anybody have a tail light socket for a 1978 280Z. I need one super quick. Please let me know. Thanks.

I'm in need of a black drivers side a pillar interior piece. Both the screw holes broke on mine and now I need a replacement. Thanks

Lol, why thanks you.

I went with the eBay champion radiator. Thanks

Thanks! It was a good car show. There was a very diverse group of cars that showed up. They kept on pouring in.

My Z got a short spot on 1320video's new ice cream cruise video. It's a short 2 second spot but it's there. LOL https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tRbxLiSqkfM

Here's Ken Block's transmission. I couldn't find a price on it but I bet it costs a lot. It looks like it even has a dry sump oiling system on it.

After watching Ken Block's new Gymkhana 7 video about 50 times it really got me a thinking, how could an LSX AWD drive train be installed in a Z car. Wouldn't it just be the meanest freakin car around? Except for the Hoonicorn of course. I did a little digging and found a few pics of a Trailblazer SS front diff setup and it's pretty darn compact and interesting. The diff itself bolts onto the side of the oil pan and then an intermediate shaft runs thru the pan to the other side where it connects to a bearing. Although the oil pan will probably hang down way to far, I bet some of the parts could be put to good use some how. The transfer case also looks way to big but I do remember the GMC Typhoon and Syclone transfer cases being a lot smaller. Ideas?!!!

I'm not sure if mine was the upgraded version or not. I've had the unit for almost 4 years so maybe that will help. I also tried many times to call and email phantom grip and they are non existent. There is somebody reading emails though because I got put on their junk mail list.

Pm'd

I used a PG unit in mine and it worked good when the car was only making 328 whp. It tracked nice and straight every time and was a cheap alternative. Now my setup is over 600whp and the PG doesn't hold for crap. The first time I put the slicks on it and made a pass it almost immediately pushed hard left. I puckered greatly on that one. I tried again just to make sure I didn't hit some liquid on the road and came up with the same results, hard left. I ended up welding the spiders to fix that problem.

I meant the guy holding the time slip. Lol

Got a video of it at the track? I can't get enough videos of these cars!

Noooooo! What happened?

Definitely run a cooler. That trans will burn up in no time with out one.

I've got a couple updates which realy aren't updates. LOL. I found out the Phantom Grip posi doesn't like a lot of horsepower. It tracked nice and straight when the car was NA but with the extra ponies it has now and with the slicks on, it just turned me hard left into the curb. Scared the poop out of me the first time it did it. SunnyZ told me I should look at the posi and that was the problem. I welded up the spiders and she tracks nice and true now. Only now I have another issue. Boooo. The trans doesn't like the slicks. Seems everytime they go on, the 3/4 clutch pack says bye bye. It still drives but just slips in 3rd at around 85mph. Go ahead Sunnyz, say I told you so. ha. Next up at bat is a powerglide with brake and manual valve body. It seems like all the turbo guys around here have realy good luck with the glides so guess I'm going to have to give up overdrive for now. I just want to feel the power from a dig!!!!

Bosch 044 with corvette fuel filter\regulator. -6 lines. And a touch of meth in the mix also. 627whp

Will do sir.
