A vast 40 year distance, making life good along the way with my Z's.
It keeps you young at heart to, desire that is. Jai will out live us all. I like to think I'm keeping mine as "low mileage" as possible but actually I'm so lazy I jump in my Camry instead of removing the car covers on my Zs.

Steering Rack Disassembly and Refurb
And these work good holding them in place, instead of the zip ties that come with them. ATV axle boot straps from a motorcycle shop.

If I live another 20 years there'll be one of these in my Z. I don't see how you do it Jai. Getting in is easy, just fall in, but climbing out is tough.

Another 240Z praise aritcle
I think the 240s are growing on Mr Wright. My magic 8 ball says "outlook good" when I asked if you would have one.

Thinking about installing an BMW M6 engine in my Z
Looks fantastic! I see a greenish tint, not blue. Whatever it's "ish" it looks really good.

Front end overhaul
Here's my cheap Stop Tec rotors. I'm happy with them and the ceramic pads I'm running. No brake dust or squealing. Street driving only. They have a left and right p/n.

[2017] What Did You Do To/with Your Z Today?
That shows your hard work pays off, not actual money but smiles and trophies. Money comes later with all those trophies and accolades.

[2017] What Did You Do To/with Your Z Today?
Life's tough isn't it. 80F here and 1 hour on the back roads. I needed to mix the new gas with the old.

81 5 speed "what it worth
I found my ZX transmission and f54 motor at a junkyard, $200. Paid a transmission guy $100 to look inside and put new seals in. He says those transmissions are pretty much bullet proof. $800 seems high to me, they are plentiful around here. That's the wide B. If it's rebuilt and all cleaned up plus delivered and i needed it then $800 doesn't sound too bad. I have read that the shift rods can get out of alignment while delivering and they won't go in gear. ZedyOneKenobi had that happen to one from zcarsource.com

280ZX vs 280ZX 2+2 transmissions
I have a '79 2+2 transmission in my '72. The ZX shifter wouldn't work with my console and boots. They are straight and my boots are angled toward the back. Some grinding of the '72 shifter worked for me. I put the 240 speedo cog in the ZX transmission, new oil seal around the speedo cable too. I like it. 75 @2,200rpm.

There's a trick Tom Monroe uses in his book I can scan tomorrow morning for you to read. It helped me get mine right on the first or second try. Something about putting one bolt in and turning the pump body to cover the other bolt holes then push it the rest of the way on. I'll get it for you to read over and see what you think, asap Saturday a.m

If your teacher has an interest, and he should, that's your best bet. Act like you want to sale it but DON'T.

Possible fuel problem. 1976 280z 2+2
Whoof! You have a previous owner's jimmy rigging to sort out. We can help but you need to get a wiring diagram first, that's what eveybodies gonna say. Play the game, you'll get answers you need. Best of luck.

You need to find the radio power wire and tap it up. Sounds like it's bare and blowing fuses.
