It`ll be a good experience for me as i have two other Zeez to rebuilt. My 77z and the 75z. Forgot to mention my 79 TR7 conv.in the background. That actually was my first car brought at the age of 18. Has 65,000 original miles.I`m thinking maybe a V8 in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wondersparrow Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 how stiff is the front end on the Z cars? Does the rad support do much more than hold the rad in place? Would there be anything wrong with just welding in some tubing with repads and calling it a day? Yeah i know it won't look stock, but doing something like that could open up other possibilities like tilting the rad and having the air exit out through the hood.

Yeah i know it won't look stock, but doing something like that could open up other possibilities like tilting the rad and having the air exit out through the hood. I found a radiator support already. Just waiting for it to arrive. Yes, i could have had one fab up but, i want to keep it stock.From the search i`ve done on this site, there is a whole lot of flexing on hard cornering from the shock towers on towards the front ., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PR280z Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 I`ll be picking up the rad/support this week. I want to specially thank 1NONLYZ for supplying the part. The man is the go to guy for any Z parts. GREAT GUY ! I would HIGHLY recommend him for all your Z car needs. Also would like to thank PHARAOHQ and HYBRIDZ for making it possible and keeping my turboZ alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernS30 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 1NONLYZ is definitely the MAN for z parts. He is super friendly, totally fair guy and he gave me great prices on the stuff I purchased from him. Met him in person, bought parts off of him. Was invited to his house for a xmas party and all. GREAT GUY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PR280z Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 A few more pics of the process.Overall the hardest part was drilling those spot welds out, over 60 welds,not fun at all!It sure was a learning experience,but well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernS30 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Did the parts come from a 77 280z? If so I have rear suspension parts from the same car on my 280z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
