Rota RB Help!!!
I wonder if the 225's will clear the stock strut? I am pretty sure I ran 225's in high school but they were Eagle GT's and do not have a real square cross section. They did scrub some if there was a lot of suspension travel

Rota RB Help!!!
That looks really good!!! I love the Euro tail lights! What are you running for lowering? Coil overs, Eibachs...? That's for the camber numbers too.

Need Help Valuing 1975 280z
This is exactly right!!! I would rather fix a motor, tranny and the complete brake system than deal with a rusty car. A rusty car takes an enormous amount of time (if you do it yourself) or an enormous amount of money (if you pay someone)

Need Help Valuing 1975 280z
I would absolutely consider shipping one. Look for Southern cars, especially SouthWest cars. It's really not that expensive to ship a car, even cross country. I wouldn't buy it, even at $7,000

I wouldn't do the loom replacement at this time. Swap the EFI out and get it running good. If you want to rework the loom later do it then. I believe the EFI harness is a stand alone unit. So I think it can be removed when the EFI is removed. That should clean it up some.

window issue
Your window seems to be coming up at an odd angle. I wonder if you have all the right pieces? I know the glass and regulators changed over the years and I believe the 260z's have a some unique to them parts.

HTP Quick Spot II spot welder - quick review
I wonder if you reshaped the copper tips some if the weld puddle would get larger? Maybe flatten the tip some for more contact area. Not suggesting you modify your tips unless they're cheap. Just a thought they look like they might be reversible

In theory, not very hard. They snap off the metal seam at the top edge of the door. some plastic pry bars can help. Just be careful not to warp it when you pull it off.
