nix240z Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Working on the coilovers... after pulling the spindle pins, everything else seems like a cake walk. I told my wife, if someone offered me $300 to remove their spindle pins I would pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240zip Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I've noticed some footer comments about various items you're selling. Do you have a web URL or other posting where these are showcased? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a web URL or other posting where these are showcased? No not at this time, I will add a post under the Vendors forum and post pics and write up of insulators for sale. 1tuffz(David) has seen a sample of the insulators and helped choose the correct hardness of the insulators, along with norm at zeddsaver.com. Zeddsaver.com will be selling the insulators via his website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pharaohabq Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 You're doing an amazing job, quite a bit of attention to detail. It's definitely an inspiration to us all.

You've really done some sweet upgrades. That AZCar stuff is pretty! Thanks...... I had a few hrs today to work on some small parts.. First I refurbished the side markers, including plating the body clips, new wire connection, polished the original lenses, screws and trim. They look brand new.. Then I plated the Radiator hose clamps. I also plated 280zx turbo cv bolts, nuts and washers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nix240z Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Man this is great! She'll be a dream when she's done. Thanks I have been working on a rear suspension jig. Original rear lower control arms in the jig. Arizona Z car rear lower control arms in the jig, set up like the factory A-arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 tuff z Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Steve, I can be a bit slow so help me understand why you built the jig... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nix240z Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Steve, I can be a bit slow so help me understand why you built the jig... The Arizona Z car rear lower control arms are fully adjustable. I needed a base line set up, so I jigged up a factory rear control arm. Then I put the Arizona control arm in the jig and adjusted it until it matched the factory settings. This might not be perfect but it is really close and I can fine tune it when I go to the alignment shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nix240z Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Small projects within projects is my hang up right now. I just cant have any crappy looking rubber going back on the car!! I think I need some help!!!!! Needed some new rubber pieces and since NA. I have to make my own. New brake check valve insulator, rocker panel plugs and I even made a rear brake drum plug for my other car which is a 72 240z. new rocker panel plugs insulator for check valve refurbished my mirror and re-silvered the glass, looks new. I ordered new hatch stoppers and they came with a cream colored rubber bumper, well I needed the correct black rubber, so I made this one also. that is the correct color, Black. Arizona Z car front control arms come with a bigger bolt than stock, so you must drill your front cross member or machine your own spacers if you dont want to drill the front cross member. Two machined spacers, these are even a tighter fit than the one Arizona z car supplies and way more tighter than stock. stock bolt with spacers. The 280zx turbo adapters are a tight fit and when you use the 280zx turbo cv the dust caps are too large and need to be crushed, so I went and pulled the dust caps off a 87 300zx at the junk yard, which are not as tall and don't need to be crushed when installing. 1 hr later and $2,75 I had the dust caps off and all 12 of the cv nuts, washers and bolts. All rubber parts are available for purchase...... Steve Edited July 26, 2013 by nix240z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfg Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 What product are you using to mold the rubber parts? I'm familiar with resin molding and other techniques, just haven't seen black rubber like that before. Everything looks Great!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 tuff z Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Steve, I'm interested in the hatch stopper rubber, rocker plugs and check valve insulator. Curious as to how you re silvered the mirror? email me if you'd prefer; palermodavid13@gmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
