Alright, ive done all the researching that i know how to do and came up with nothing. So Iam going to ask. Where are the best spots to lift from on, a stock L28 out of a 75 280z? Ive removed small blocks before, and theyre extremely easy. And im sure eventually i would find some good spots, but i thought i would get the experts opinions first. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thank you.

Some punk broke the mast from the power antenna. :mad: Yes, I should have retracted it but I didn't. :stupid: I thought that antennaX (ebay) had the correct replacement mast but it is not correct. I would prefer not to replace the whole unit with an aftermarket. I have an up/down switch on the console and a two wire connector back at the unit. I have only found units with a good motor and no mast, which is what I have. Hopefully someone out there has a unit with a bad motor and a good mast?

I really can't believe this, but I got a set of factory early Z floor mats for 99 cents on Ebay today. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250802425442

Greetings, Not exactly sure where this should go, but here goes. While out hunting for a turn signal switch for my 1972 240Z (see my post under Parts Swaps) at the Stockton, California Pick 'n Pull I came across the following vehicles / parts which may be of interest. 1971? 240Z (for sure). Pretty thrashed out, had the E48? intake manifold I posted about under Carbs. Sheet metal not bad on left, but cut up, literally cut up on right side. Very odd. Hood in good shape, seats possible, though they can't appreciate being under a bunch of parts from misc. cars. 1981 280ZX 2+2: Close to complete. 1976 280Z 2+2: Appears to be an abandoned project car. I'm not an expert …

Ride height 1 2 3

I know this has been discussed before, and I did do a search, but I am looking for a quick answer please. I replaced the rear struts and kept the same springs, but now it looks like the ride height has increased. Is this right? Dosen't the car ride on the springs and not the struts? Why would the height chage if I am correct. Am I wrong as usual?

Hello Classic Zcar Club, been checking out things on here for a little over a week now and it looks like a great site! Ok so here's the deal, I've never owned a Z car before, but it's been my dream since I was a kid and now it looks like I'm going to finally make it a reality. I found a 1977 280Z, 2 seater, still has original paint and the exterior seems to be a pretty good condition. I haven't yet taken a close look at it but in a few hours I'm going to head over and check it out in detail. It has been sitting under a ramada for eight years without being driven. The tires are flat, but it looks to be in pretty good condition, we'll see though. It was in perfect running c…

I just purchased a 1976 280Z last week. I replaced the alternator and added a drivers side door handle. Alternator was easy not so for the door handle. I have three projects on my agenda for this weekend. 1) Dash lights are note working. I read something that said that the tail lights and dash lights were on the same circuit. Not sure. The tail lights are working. Also, the brake light stays on. The little voltage light is also working along with the flip light in the middle console area. I am suspecting that the Panel-Light Rheostat/Switch is not working but not sure. Any thoughts? Horn is also not working. I have checked the fuses at the fuse box. 2) Brak…

So as I am looking for insurance for my 280z I entered all my info on Hagerty, and a member of their Eastern Germany Stasi calls to talk to me. They had "questions" regarding use. I was honest and checked all the appropriate boxes. They asked about the "daily use" & "business use" boxes I checked. I said "If the weather is nice I would like to make day trips to Austin, TX to see customers/clients and whatnot, I wouldn't use the car for overnight trips etc." Hagerty:"Sorry sir we can't allow that." I said "I would use the car to make short trips to Home Depot on Saturday" Hagerty: "Sorry we cannot insure a car that will be in a parking lot for extended periods o…
