I have a L28ET exhaust manifold from a 83 280ZX Turbo, unit was made of three pieces, and put together with two bellows couplers. Here is a picture of the manifold in question, found on mrjeffzx xtreme Nissan 280zx Turbo page: https://www.angelfire.com/extreme/280zxt/images1/Euromanifold.jpg One of the bellows has a crack in it and needs to be replaced or if possible repaired. I don’t think it would be possible to weld it, at least not with my welding skills. I tried finding this part on RockAuto, eBay, FAST, Nissan4u and a couple if other sites without any luck. Not even a part number Therefor I thought I should try asking here for help. Maybe there are alternative ways of fixing this. Any suggestions are welcome. I have attached a picture of the damage (The white stuff is exhaust paste since I first thought it leaked around the clamps) Thanks...

I'm in the process of installing a long nose R 200 limited slip differential with 280 ZX turbo tripod half shafts into a 240 Z. I have transferred the dust shield from the 240 Z companion flange to the 280 ZX turbo companion flange, although I'm not exactly sure why I needed to do that. However, as many of you know, there is a problem with the grease seal. There have been writeups in the past on this recommending using the R200 Pinion seal with the rubber removed off of the outside of the seal. However, in my circumstance, it was too large by 0.080in. By measuring the seal journal of the 280 ZX Turbo companion flange and the inner diameter of the housing for the 240 Z, I came up with the dimensions of 40 mm for the outside diameter of the companion flange seal journal, and 72 mm for the inside diameter of the 240 Z housing. So, there are several sources that make a 40 x 72 x 10mm grease seal. I ordered one from Timken and it was a perfect fit! Problem solved! I found this seal simply by google search. I hope this helps anyone trying to do this conversion. -

I'm looking for a good set of Swastika center caps for a set of rims that I'm refinishing. Please let me know if you have anything. Thanks, Jim
