  1. That is a great resource to have near you!!
  2. I found this one but I believe it's the wrong side?? I didn't see another
  3. Curious what a leak down test would show?
  4. I would like to do something similar at some point
  5. That is a common place to see cracks. I think mig is a reasonable choice
  6. I have Sean's exhaust. It's a lovely thing!
  7. I had that issue when I did mine and it was the seal. It wasn't seated deep enough
  8. Which one did you use?
  9. I agree on vintage connections! Has the car been in a corrosive environment? Maybe near the coast?
  10. My fronts are close like that. Maybe slightly closer. I don't bottom out often but enough that it needs fixing
  11. I believe the smog issue in CA has recently changed. The 280z is more complicated but I know people who prefer it after experiencing both. It is heavier. It has better ventilation controls I believe and is already setup for EFI even if you go aftermarket
  12. No, I found it very simple. I really need to spend some time on a dyno to get the most out of it but will probably wait until I build a new motor
  13. Z Car Depot IncZ Car DepotNew, used, and OEM repair and replacement parts for Datsun 240Z, 260Z, 280Z, 280ZX, and 510. Motorsport auto KFvintage makes lots of panels Terrapinz on this site has lots of parts Ebay
  14. I don't know the numbers and the boxes are gone. I bought them new as a set probably ten years ago. Struts are new Tokikos too. It was evidently a problem. A number of threads on HybridZ about it
  15. Keep an eye on the BaT thread for possibilities
  16. With the car on the ground how much space is there between the front spring coil windings? I have red tokicos and have less than 1" of travel before I have coil bind
  17. You could rule out in tank problems by rigging up a temporary fuel source with return lines
  18. Yes, I was going to suggest bump steer. Do you have bump steer spacers? Can you add some?
  19. I am running one. I like it. Admittedly I only have a 100 miles on mine though. Ali has a good many miles on his
  20. I would agree. My car has new factory bushings and the rear alignment was perfect. No need for camber adjustment
  21. Here is the rear kit https://www.thezstore.com/product/704/camber-adjustment-kit-rear-70-78-240z-260z-280z I have a set of these in my shop. I ran them on my first z because the toe in was so messed up. They require a thin wrench to adjust
  22. I don't believe you are missing the bushings, per se. I believe you have these, but for the rear. They may be missing the cushion rubber though
