1971 HLS30-14938 "Lily" build
On another note, when removing the car from the rotisserie I dropped it about six inches onto the jack stands and dented the frame rails. Two steps forward ; one back

1971 HLS30-14938 "Lily" build
Ok. So I've had some time to work on the car this weekend. I started fitting the fender and assorted front end parts I ran into a problem with the fenders and cowl. the gaps weren't even and didn't run straight. So I added onto the edge of one side of the cowl and on the fenders I cut a slot in and made the panel flush with the cowl and welded it all back up A little smear of fiberglass and some blocking and it aught to be good This is the most assembled the car has been in NINE years! The hood needs some more work and I will have to slot it a little bit to bring it forward some more. I will also have to re-arch it. I plan on using Jeff's method @Home Built by Jeff

Maxima emergency brake brackets.
Richard, I thought you posted a picture of a link that goes between the maxima caliper and the stock E brake, but I couldn't find it. Was that you? Thanks, Charles I

This is a set of strut to knuckle bolts. Bolts appear to be 12mm dia and the shorter bolt is 30mm on the shank. The longer bolt is 35mm on the shank and goes in the front hole of the strut. 1.25 pitch

Finished brake upgrade
Is the stopping power noticeably improved? How is the pedal travel? Is there a tangible improvement or barely perceptible?

What are the facts about 280z ECU compatibility and differences
It's good to know they are irrelevant, though.

I believe I have some of those bolts sitting on the bench. I can check them after church

Good looking Bronco! 69 was a great year, lots of great things came into being, including me! ?

78 280z Severe Driving Problems
I wouldn't think a burnt would be an issue since his compression numbers are so good. He could have one or more dead cylinders. The way it sounds in the earlier video that would be my first suspect. I am not sure those 2 injectors are fueling. Maybe they are plugged up with trash. What about doing a bench flow test on the injectors to make sure they all flow? EFI is not my forte...

Those are some serious concrete forms. Is that a crane sitting at the street?

ZG only went for $53K
I would say with all those issues, it did well to bring what it did

pedal return springs
I got onto the Century Spring website the other day when I was looking and printed off the relevant pages for similar springs from their pdf catalog. They were supposed to be annotated for long hook springs etc. I never could find the annotation. They probably make the correct spring or one very similar if you could locate the correct number in the catalog

new lock set
Why don't you take out the lock sets and have a locksmith re-key them all to one key? Cheaper, no shipping and shouldn't be that expensive if you take it to the locksmith...

What are the facts about 280z ECU compatibility and differences
I can't image all those extra pins in the later ECU don't do anything...That would be very "un-manufacture-ish"

pedal return springs
Yes all the ones I have seen have the little half round bushing. They are not available to my knowledge. Do you need one?

pedal return springs
I will get my better mic and check the gauge I found a couple of spring catalogs in pdf and did some looking. I found a similar OD and length but you need an "extension spring with long hooks". I also discovered one of the retaining clips in the brake booster is actually called a "serrated disc spring". Who knew???
