Patcon

Then I would start with Momo

Are you sure that is the proper adapter for the s30? Have you tried contacting Momo?

Please post up some pictures when you do the main hatch seal. Are you using the 3m adhesive on that? How do you apply it? Both surfaces?

Which adhesive are you using?

Granny, Can you elaborate on your hatch weatherstrip process, where you start, adhesive, temporary holding, etc?

I believe this is it. https://zcardepot.com/products/inner-fender-metal-shield-240z-260z-280z-70-76#

That splash panel is available as a repop. I think it's pretty cheap. Although shipping and import might make it impractical

Pretty car and seems like a good price!

The wheel isn't seated all the way against the hub face. Driveshafts would also be a suspect for clunky noises

This process with be easier with an AFR gauge. That way you can differentiate easily between rich and lean conditions

The action of the sander isn't the limiting factor. The abrasive material is. I suspect your glass polishing pads are diamond grit or something similar. You might be able to find suitable pads at a granite fabrication supply house.

They were in there before, correct? Did you have any issues or problems? If not I'd reassemble as before. Dont break it, if it ain't broke!

Understood, I figured the design would still have relevance because of the need to get either out of a mold.

Which would include the edges around the mounting surface and any other surfaces like that. I will try to look at the factory cover for draft. I've never really looked before but I bet those edges that I think are square to the mounting surface are probably slightly tapered.

Do you have or can you get the grit numbers for these pads? Then maybe you could source some intermediate grits with the right material...

I think I just need the two defroster tubes

Yeah, that looks more like it!

Try reversing them

The tag on the keys looks to be the same number. Having had exceptionally bad vision earlier in life I have gotten pretty good at reading letters that are badly out of focus...

Cody worked on the parking brake some more. We made some bushings. We took bushings and turned the outside down on sandpaper using a long sandper roll on an arbor and then we made to enlarge the ID to make them work. He also put a end on the cable \ He lost one of the clevis pins. Luckily his dad is a hoarder and had a freshly plated one that I made him a deal on. 😉

Made a little more progress today: I received this from Japan on Friday I also got these in on Friday. Thanks to @w3wilkes he gave me a link to 18racing.com. There were about $75 cheaper for the set than anywhere else I found them. I bought some new Rota RB's. These are 7x16 +10. I ordered some lugs and valve stems today They are really hard to describe. They are "Hyperblack". They look black from certain angles but have a lot of metal flake in them that makes them look metallic grey. I was going to buy Konigs but I really like the look of the Rota's so I spent the extra. I may try to run a 225 tire. I would really like to end up in a 245 tire one day if I can make it fit. One step at a time... I installed the heater valve today. You have to get the clamps all oriented correctly because there is not a lot of room in this location. I also put in the heater fan. I used a little peal and seal at the outside air vent to close that up I am using the ratty heater fan for now. I may upgrade the fan to the Honda unit, so I was waiting to see what needed to happen until I had it on the road Here is the label on the windshield Same as @emccallum I believe Here are the 300zx turbo wheel axles. The drivers side is 16mm shorter than the passenger side. I also got the hatch on the car. I did it buy myself because I wanted to see if I could. It's still too high and needs a little more adjustment, but it's on. I will install the strut soon and work on the glass and inner weather strip soon. I hate doing weatherstrips because I always struggle to get them to stick... I also worked on the parking brake cable some more. I need to weld the other end and then see if my re-engineering worked. Also does anyone has any good defroster tubes? @Terrapin Z?

Cool article! They sound busy! How are you handling the shrinkage factor?

I would set lash based on the FSM for the 87 300zx turbo LSD. Yes, I suspect the CLSDs and VLSDs both create more heat. Clutch slippage is always going to increase heat. I can measure the factory LSD fins if you want some dimensions

6' doesn't sound like much but in 18' it's 30% and in a space that tight inches matter. I love the feel of an organized shop! One day I might have one but I will probably have to be closer to retirement too.

I don't know. I'm not that familiar with the rules in various racing classes. Just seems like a tremendous investment for a one off that has no return at all on the investment. Especially considering the OS Giken already exists.
