NewZed Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Just went and pushed the rod back. I have lots of room, like you do. It's not at the end of the stroke though, and I have put many miles on it. Apparently, the factory stroke is 35 mm. 1.38". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamo3 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Thanks NewZed. I will double check once my helper comes back from school to check the rob travel length. I saw video on Facebook that 280z user posted video about Clutch Slave Cylinder. https://youtu.be/0lVqvzw3peE When I check before, my Clutch slave cylinder move much less than 35 mm.

tamo3 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 Working on Door Glass Window Run Felt Rubber Seal replacement. There is a metal plate which old the felt inside was totally rusted. Using a wire brush to remove rust and use Rust Resolver gel to remove rust completely. You can see Before and After! The felt was hold by metal staple, but I don't have it. I used T21 instead.

tamo3 Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 Purchase $39 cheap cold air filter. It comes with air filter, aluminum pipe and small aluminum bracket. The pipe size is too big it won't fit to the rubber boot unless removing O-ring. Looks OK. but without bracket, it's hunging like a d*ck. Plan to create a bracket something like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75280z Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hey I have been doing similar work on my Z, where did you get the rubber that you installed on the outer portion of the window? I would like to do this on mine as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamo3 Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 found a leak from front right side of brake caliper. It leaks from the bottom of the caliper. Went to pick and Pull and get another caliper from 4Runner. It was pretty clean and looks like rebuild recently. Use wire brush to remove surface rust and use PRO15 metal prep to clean up. Then, paint Red using DupliColor. Need to wait a couple of days to completely dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamo3 Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Installing glass fiber bumper. I purchased this bumper long time ago through local Craigslist. For the body side bracket, I purchased from EuroDat @ Classic Z community. It's very strong and fit really well to the body. I welded the bolts to the bracket and put glass fiber sheets. Add a couple more glass fiber sheets to make it durable. Test fitting is great. But I need to think about what I should do for the side of the bumper. I don't have holes to bolt on to the body...

Neverdone Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Have you thought about adding holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamo3 Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 HI @Neverdone, I don't know how I can treat that. Even though make a hole How can i bolt on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverdone Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Weld nuts, or nutserts. As you'd be mounting directly into the thin sheet metal, I'd weld a backing plate onto the area you're thinking of mounting to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamo3 Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 @Neverdone, Thanks for your advice. Since there is inner sheet metal, I cannot use weld nuts. I will check nutserts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZHoob2004 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I don't know how it is on the 75, but on the 77 you can reach down into that panel from above in the trunk area. I can touch the factory bumper nuts on my 77 from behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamo3 Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 @Zhoob2004, I don't remember whether I can access from trunk area on my 75. I already closed interior panels ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamo3 Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) My key is worn out. I can take it out while running the engine. My previous 240z had the same issue. Hmm... Photoshop Mosaic filter effect is not good idea to apply here... It looks like a #$%^@. I'd like to make a new key to cut based on the key code. I found online site that help me to cut the key based on the code. http://keysforclassics.com/form/ Waiting for their reply.... I also look for blank key for the same shape of this key, but I can't find on eBay... Edited April 17, 2019 by tamo3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZHoob2004 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I just wanted to chime in and say good job for concealing the key code in the image (a lot of people don't realize how easy they are to measure) I think a competent locksmith should be able to help you with measuring and cutting new keys, but I feel like the problem might be in the ignition cylinder itself. You could also look online for some references to use photoshop or another tool to measure the code yourself based on your picture. If it still works, it hasn't deviated much from the original measurements and the heights are standardized, though finding the exact standard may be a bit of a trick. Calipers can also measure the bitting height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
