In all the video installs I looked at, they seem to have issues with the spoiler dropping/warping - the 280Z has a valance that the spoiler sits against, if you don't remove it.. Clamped the middle to secure it, marked & drilled the 4 outer end attachments. Instead of futzing with nuts & bolts, I just used M6 stainless rivnuts & M6 sems screws For the leading edges, I used plastic body clips instead of bolts Added two rivnuts to the center section to anchor it All together (for now). I have a tall Skillard grille coming, and…

Hi guys, mine is a 77 280z the original color is this blue and the second owner had it yellow. I need to go back to the original as all inside and engine bay is still blue and I like this color too. door and engine plates are too faded to tell anything. Is there any other place to look for paint code. Can someone help me identify this color.

Found this lower radiator support in a parts pile that has me befuddled once more….. I know the 2 clips for mounting the Japanese market 432 air filter on the drivers right side, but this piece has the same small clips on the passenger side left lower radiator support. What was mounted on this side before 1974 ?

The enemy of good is better. I'm not sure how things snowballed but now I'm here - and loving every minute of it. So far I've burned in: Inner /outer rocker panels on the driver's side Inner dogleg lower on the driver's side Rear driver's wheel tub Driver's floor, frame rail, toe boards, and rear quarter are next. Then onto the passenger! Question for those of you that have put your Z's on a rotisserie: I need to replace the passenger chasis rail (that connects the firewall to the radiator support). Can I do that on the rotisserie? Or would you recommend it on jackstands/a jig if I can make one?

Ok, so I have my 78 that is finally getting to the last tidbits of restoration and it just dawned on me that I did not take care in documenting the positions of all of the various factory decals when I tore the car down. The FSM only shows vague pictures but without measurements. I searched the forums and found some great shots of the 240 Radiator and Color Code -but that is about it. So my fellow Zed-Heads, I am asking for your assistance. Can you please post pictures of the locations the various factory decals on your Z's AND be sure to include a tape measure to a nearby panel or structure so that I can get the orientation correct! I know that this might seem a b…

I have been looking for rear wheel arc panels for my 75 280z 2+2. It seems like there is no such parts made anywhere. Any one know of a supplier? This is the only part needing replacing and seems to be the hardest to find. Any help would be appreciated.

I am about to put all trim back in.... is there a certain order? I am thinking the rear cargo trim then put in the quarter trim lapping over the cargo trim? not 100% sure though as it appears you could go either way with it I upgraded seat harness. It appears that the main bolt up top goes through the quarter trim. Is that normal?

I came across this YouTube video today. He cuts down 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" square steel to custom make frame rails. I imagine it'd make the chassis stiffer. It seems like overkill to me, but never thought of this and haven't seen it done before. Any potential drawbacks to doing this?
