Racer Z Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Bought a 1975 280Z that was rust & collision free. Rented a trailer and put on about 200 miles round trip to bring it home. My 1970 Ford F250 sure pulled that trailer nice. We're going to start building a second race car with the 280Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelsonian Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Got a nice rear hatch from a 76' from the local pick your part to replace my messed up stock 240z. Half price holiday weekend made it all the more better. Time to chemical strip and blast parts of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonmreiss Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Finished up with my dash repair, after trying 4 different 'texture' products, I finally found the perfect one....spray on bed liner in a rattle can. I figured the brush on stuff would be too aggressive, so I used the rattle can kind. 4 coats and it looks brand new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racer Z Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Removed the parking brake cable from under the car and the evaporative gas line. That was just less than 5 pounds of dead weight. Cleaned the engine bay while the motor/trans is out. Sat around in the shade talking like I actually know something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaito Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Finished breaking the motor in, installed a rebel wiring 9=3 harness w/ cs144 alternator and am currently installing the rear coilovers/disc brakes/obx helical. Super fun. So much stuff getting thrown at her at once is overwhelmingly awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazeum Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) Installed a 6AL ignition with a two step launch control and pounded my against a brick wall because now the tach doesn't work You need a tach adapter My weekend was about getting the fuel tank out to recover from the dumbest move I've ever done on the Z. It was 3 years ago when I made an attempt to protect my fuel tank against rust with paint. This is the crap I get off the tank I've already removed most of the stuffs 2 years ago. This stuff made me stop 3 times on the side of the road with no gas going to the engine.... Edited June 11, 2012 by Lazeum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I got an extra quart of oil cause my dipstick was only showing it at half. One quart put it at full. Also took it on a nice 40 min drove on the freeway to burn off old gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I mounted the lower radiator bracket (JTR) to the existing holes underneath on the 240Z. Aside from removing as much rust from those welded in nuts in the frame, I was able to bend the bracket points just right, drill the holes into the bracket and mount it using the existing frame nuts. I think this is much better than drilling new holes through the frame. No thanks, the existing ones are plenty good enough... Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
