Phantom Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Been a while since I posted anything on the car. It's been back in the shop for several items. 1) Passenger side exhaust pipe and header came apart - bolts worked loose and nuts fell off. Got kind of loud. 2) Had gas tank repaired - interior guy ran some sheet metal screws through it in three places. The bad news is that the custom formed vent hoses are no longer available.The good news is that the original 28 year old hoses are still in good shape - no cracks and still flexible. Other good news is that the repair went fine - no explosions - and the inside of the tank looked like it was brand new. 3) THe AC unit now holds easily to 95+ degrees. All the insulation that went in with the new interior has had a significant impact. Guess the 280Z AC's are good enough - it's just that the car isn't insulated well enough. 4) Adjustable proportioning valve going in - hopefully that will be done this week. Really need the brakes working right if I'm going to the track. 5) KYB's have blown in the rear - both are leaking oil after about 60,000 miles of service. Is that normal? I thought they'd last longer than that. Thinking about replacing them with Tokico Illuminas but there is a huge price difference. Not sure if it will be worth it to me.
