You thought about seats Nah jus kidding What Bulldog said. You might consider these seats here, only bad side is they don't recline :tapemouth Link ->http://www.zccjdm.com/ Theres a anothere style but I cant find it right now. Nice to see your making progress though ~Z~

Well i know the seat release thing your refering to, back lowering lever, is on the door side for both seats in my '77 280Z if that helps.

No you don't. Thats what the center section is for betwen the bumber and front of the hood.

Looks Cool That Champagne Gold works! Tripple Carbs are the way to go, unless you looking for out right mad speed.... Any pics of the interrior, 4 or 5 speed? ~Z~

Use this, it helps me out. Use the first wheel set up as your "stock" or "current" wheel and tire combo and the 2nd wheel set up as what you'd like to fit then compare the fitments. http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp?item=Wheel-Tire%20size%20comparer&showRim1=1&showTire1=1&sw1=215&ar1=60&bd1=14&rd1=14&rw1=7.0&et1=0&showRim2=1&showTire2=1&sw2=215&ar2=60&bd2=14&rd2=14&rw2=7.0&et2=0&text1=&text2= It may give you an idea at least on other wheels. ~Z~

Neat Garage YO I didn't think the libres worked at first then realized the shade is wrong for your color Z. If you polished or painted/powder coated the Libres same silver as your Per-Specs then the color scheme would be perfect with a Green and Silver combonation as before. Jus my take ~Z~

Thought some you might like to see this old film, Especially some of you GT4 players like me, the backgrounds and scenery looks completly different but you'll still reconize what sections of the track your on if you know the road course enough Think it's the 1970's course or earlier, maybe some one will chime in. Wish it was in the game though :cheeky: ~Z~

Heres the original YJ Auction, And the 2nd link is the Translated Auction page.

Photos photos photos are right! Theres an old saying I have that goes, " 90% of the price is PhotoDucket ". a.k.a Photobucket, and the Duckets equal cash So if you take plenty of photos, you'll get THAT CASH I never had a problem getting top ducket by having lots of good pics, honest knowledgable descriptions and being nice with the answers. ~Z~

Save it ! Everythings Collectible ~Z~

Gut it, Race it, 45 well spent ~Z~

Oh YEAH, Happy Birhtday Bean ~Z~

Didn't they anticipate the S30 race cars of that time doing those speeds, no?

Yeah, Thyanx Gary, Pretty much I'm thinking the same thing. The "pinging" only started around last week, figured it was a valve by the timing it happens. Seems to follow the cycle of the engine but skips a beat, stops for awhile, then comes back for a second. (wash rinse repeat). Only driven her maybe 50 miles to the Mech and AATCO since the Exhaust gasket change, but the valve train is falling further out of wack as evidenced by the oil problem. Since finding the coolant oil issue and the fact she's was still running rough I parked her and only start her on occasion to learn more about the car and to access what I think the problem / problems are and compare to what I actually find once I take her apart. If she sits for awhile, like a week, White Smoke, Steam, oil burning for couple minutes when started. I mean you should've seen the NGK's, Coverd in oil, some of them where burnt charcoal gray. Good news is the engine's not completly codded out. So... hopefully what I'm thinking here is total engine rebuild may not be needed saving me some $dough along with faster return to road time But like they say, you never know untill you open her up and find that, "OhhhhhHHHH MyyyyYYYY..... :eek: " Followed by HUGE Bill :cheeky: ~Z~

Me and my dad were just taliking about "Peter Gun", if they remade it they'd mess that up.

Hi Guys Glade to be back! been gone for awhile (life 'n crap) and happy to see the site up again ( GO MIKE ! ) Thanks for the rebuild parts list help guys, it's all in check ~_^ Made some last time check ups on Ruby to decide the final route to take with her and need one last round of advice from you knowledgeable folks to see if my diagnosing abilites are on par. (or no where near right ) Well I think I might drop the new rebuilt head on myself maybe and came across a person on HybridZ with same year Z with same problems. Link to thread ->http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=123691 I posted some replies and thought I get your opinions on this which I posted. "Well my Question is are the head gaskets for the 240Z / 260Z different from the 280Z ? Assuming they ordered a complet but wrong engine gasket kit. My compression is 150 across the board and with a teaspoon of oil it is 170-175. My NGK plugs have oil on them and there also appears to be oil in the radiator which looks like Brown Chocolate Swirls, white smoke blows also and she hesitates as if the fuel is being blocked by back preasure in the lines. Number 4 Fuel Injector not working aswell, changed Injector and spark plugs and now #4 pings like it's misfiring making the engine "tilt" to one side when it pings. I think it may have a stuck valve from needing a valve adjustment though BTW. Not 100% sure if it's #4 pinging as I shut her off before pulling the injector conector or plug wire to see if engine idle changed, figured best to turn off before blowing something. Any help would be apriciated on the head gasket though please cause I think it might be blown, among other "dominoed" problems from the overheating . ~Z~ " BTW I changed new NGK on number 4 also and still pings but less so after unpluging the Fuel Injector conector. Whats that about? Well I'm thinking with the new head gasket and rebuilt head I should be alright. I asssum the rings are OK by doing the compression test oil trick, am I right? If thats the case and this is as simple as I think it sounds and something I can fix on my own that'd be cool then dropping on a new head will get her back on the road in 2 days tops. Unless I should just put her in the shop as planed. ~Z~

Weak, Weak, Weak,.... That show will never last the first intro. It'll be cancelled mid credits. ~Z~ 'n quote me on it!

Thought I'd post this for others wanting this upgrade, Just got a email from Dave at Arizona Z Car about rim clearance for the brakes. "The 14's won't fit, you'll need at least 15" or 16" wheels. The inner diam must be at least 13.75" to clear the brakes. Dave" So if your favorite style rim is 14's you better find 'em in 15's or find a 14 with MAD clearance. ~Z~

Thats just the Prototype style, not the actual race colors. Nissan uses the same scheme for some of there othere protootype racers like the R92CP for example and others. Theres even a Version of the Black R92CP Prototype in the GT4 video game Real life race trim R92CP GT4 prototype version in all black I like the whole package though with the GT-R, it Rocks in Black ~Z~

The Car & Driver Z you was talking about was a 432 ! ? It's nice to know you can build your own car in that game, and keep up the good work ~Z~

Someone's going to have a field day with this one !

Awesome Just frekin SWEET ! ^^ Been waiting to see that thing in 500 trim. Look at the corning skill, wonder who's behind the wheel. And luv the Prototype color as always and the way the movie ends, turns the corner and fades to Black. (Silence..) Just Sweet..... ~Z~
