I would like to do something similar at some point

That is a common place to see cracks. I think mig is a reasonable choice

I have Sean's exhaust. It's a lovely thing!

I had that issue when I did mine and it was the seal. It wasn't seated deep enough

Which one did you use?

I agree on vintage connections! Has the car been in a corrosive environment? Maybe near the coast?

My fronts are close like that. Maybe slightly closer. I don't bottom out often but enough that it needs fixing

Fun cars!

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

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

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

Keep an eye on the BaT thread for possibilities

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

You could rule out in tank problems by rigging up a temporary fuel source with return lines
