Other than a throttle, key, choke, and a gauge to make sure you have oil pressure... should be fine.

Ah yeah looks like they are out of that model... might want to give them a call? https://www.thezstore.com/datsun-280z-1977/product/2579/factory-heater-control-valve-8-75-78-280z

Looks like MSA also has the valve... double check to make sure this is the right one... I am not sure what car you've got. https://www.thezstore.com/product/2576/factory-heater-control-valve-79-83-280zx-with-auto-ac MSA also gives discounts to members, just need to provide them with your membership ID.

Yeah that's probably one of the worst designs for a valve. I've had plenty of curse words during my time working on that thing. Do it right or you'll be back under the dash again later.

Here's a link to our wiring diagram collection.. probably need to look that one up. https://www.classiczcars.com/files/category/1-wiring-diagrams/

Welcome! Great car you got there... 😉

This is great!

Wow, your friend is doing a very good job at both the restoration and the videos! Thank you for sharing with us and please let him know that we would love to see him on our website as well. Thanks again!

Hopefully your wheels clear it.. 😉 Do you have a shot with the wheels on?

Very nice! Thanks for taking photos and taking the time to document this project. How does it ride now?

Well, I guess I was wrong... check out this search https://www.classiczcars.com/search/?q="hood latch cable"&quick=1

I've tried rebuilding several cables like this, mostly the choke. Anything I would do to it would eventually fail. TBH, I'm not sure anyone here has taken on this kind of project.

Thanks guys! I wish they were around when I did my restoration. I did mine the old fashioned way.. 😉

I ran across this site while browsing tonight. Anyone have experience with S30 World fuel tanks? They are not a sponsor and I have no idea if they are reputable or not. Just thought I'd share. https://s30.world/fuel-tanks

Yeah, good times! Things sure have changed in technology a lot since then. Now I'm trying to catch up.. we'll see how it goes with upgrades over the winter.

I'm wondering how many people we still have around from the old email list (majordomo) we started in 1996. I know there are a few still here. 😉

Hey Enigma! Great to see you post again. I'm still here of course. 😉 My 71 240Z is still with me but right now she's in storage. Raising a kiddo and living on a place without a big garage. That will all change in about 2 more years until the kiddo graduates high school. Trying to hold on as much as I can. There's still some of the original crew here. Just doing other things, I imagine. Good to hear from you! Mike

You don't need to log into Facebook, just close the login screen when it appears and I think the video will play.

I saw this video and thought it was interesting. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/w57wi6BFeeXTasHc/

I'm seeing the same issue when I search for this part. Have you tried calling Ztherapy to see if they have any in their refurbished pile? I know they can re-zinc parts and Steve might have something in his stock.

Hey all, just wondering if anyone from Portugal is here. I’m in the country for two weeks. Lisbon, Porto, then to Algarve.

Yeah, I like the look of the BRE spoiler. I'll pick up the front valance and get the headlight buckets repainted too. Right now that whole set is a bit off color from the rest of the car... not really noticeable to most but it really bugs me.. ha! Luckily I found the paint codes in my files from the original work. I didn't have that when the airdam and buckets were painted.

I would install everything untinted to avoid scratches during installation. After everything is installed, keep the door cards and window trims off the car. You can take it to a shop and they'll be able to install just fine. Once they are done you can drive it home and install the remaining parts without fear of scratching.
