@theguppies is Hung Vu on Facebook. I bought those mats as well, it's been a few years. He is out of San Jose. Most posts are from 2020 - 2022.

I do sell used parts of rusty cars I have accumulated. good useable parts that will need clean up of some sort but reasonably priced, I have helped out a number of members here. As others have mentioned Motorsport Auto and Z Car Depot are the main big suppliers of new Nissan parts and aftermarket replacement item. Nissan themselves do still sell a lot of parts for the Z as well. Then there are a lot of speciality vendors that specialize in certain types of parts. Reach out when you need something you can't find on your own search. TZ

There was some white numbers on the coils IIRC. My Tokico's collapsed on me as well.

It took me a long time to find that there even was a 3:70 in an R180 let along find one. Now that I did I really like it for the driving I do. It sits behind a later 280ZX 5 speed. My car it had 4:11's behind the later B speed. and was hard to drive down the freeway. RPM way to high. I swapped a 5 speed and went 3:70 for the lower RPM's on the freeways. Really depends on how you want to drive the car. Lots of options these days.

The 3.70 R180 open was only in the Maxim automatic car from the 80's, ask me how I know. The 3.90 in the 240Z were not in any US cars. 3.90, 4.11, 4.28 were all in the 720 4x4 truck front.

Looks like I have the pieces you were looking for. I pulled them out and washed them up a bit. I'll get you some pictures tomorrow afternoon. I assume you were looking for black vinyl, seeing you car is blacked out on red. Looks nice!

I have a few parts cars, I'll see if there is anything vinyl pieces that could be of use. Maybe Sat. before I can dig into the task.

Looks like you just need the bushings. The stock bushings are still available through Nissan. $37.68 each through my choice of dealer. 55555-E4100 and 55554-E4100 If you dig into things and find you need more parts as in metal bits I do have some spares.

You can see who has the non ethanol on this site by state. They don't always advertise. https://www.pure-gas.org/maps

Looks like some other stuff going on in the bottom of that picture. What is the toggle switch and wire nut all about? @Patcon I did mean spark erosion, in that I think it eats through the aluminum faster that brass/copper. It happened to mine. I have an older CDI unit on my set up as well.

Try and find a cap with brass "teeth" instead of the aluminum one you show in you cap. They hold up better. My cap did the same with the aluminum. Alas like most things nowadays, cheaper components at the same price as the good ones used to be.

My Tokico's had the same spring failures. bottoming out on every bump. Coil binding I think it is called. I ended up going with Eibach's on the Illumina's and have had no issues since. I still have the reds if you want to try them.lol
