Lets see some before/after shots 🙂

laaaa laaa laaa, slow progress. man cutting holes is scary. Just got it on the rotisserie today. Lets see how long the floors take. @grannyknot Both Floors, then the rockers? Any additional bracing to the front before I give it the ol flip? the bottom of the passenger firewall that I replaced is not connected to anything (no floor yet), the frame rail that would have been under the passenger side has also been removed. I was thinking of removing the doors before I flip the chassis too, might as well remove more weight. Anything to lookout for here?

When I had this issue my rails were bent, i just bent them back... pull em out lets see 🙂

I have yet to pull the roof off of my car so i cant give you an exact place... but I would try to leave other panels intact so they can also get used... https://industrygarage.com/products/datsun-s30-carbon-fiber-roof?variant=42236566569176 I'm assuming that someone would be looking for a similar shape as what these guys sell, maybe just give the buyer the A-Pillar as well, its always nice to have more then cut back into what you need.

I feel like socal drives fast, you'll probably be doing 70-80 mph on the regular... with a 3.9 the RPMs are going to be up there.

Honest question, do steering racks wear out? Is it possible // cost effective to refurbish an old one?

I really did not like the experience dealing with the stupid propshaft hardware on the diff. Personally if i had to do it again I would send it in to get fixed from a shop as they have the shims, and are gonna balance it on a machine. I think MSA used to sell a new aluminum propshaft as well... (I think they call this learning 😂 )

Nice and chilly! 🙂

I bought some tool ( $$$ 😞 ) to make my lines for inside the cabin. It worked out well. But I’ve yet to actually hookup the AC system, it’s all in place, but not filled if that makes sense. If you mark the lines/fittings and ship them over, I can press them.

@Av8ferg have you done the starter-relay mod to your Z?

very clean, love how compact the setup is.

What kind of motor is the pump going to be feeding? Something fast? 👀 Check this thing out, it uses a laser to sense the fuel level. https://www.holley.com/products/gauges_and_gauge_accessories/gauge_accessories_and_harnesses/parts/19-250

I didn't feel comfortable removing front frame rail // firewall on a rotisserie and not having it flex into a weird position. So I've been working on a jig. design courtesy of @ConVerTT 🧙‍♂️ I noticed that the rear bumper mounts holes are not flat and both outer bolt holes are kinda angled in toward the center of the car, is this normal? Anyone have a photo? Happy New Year Yall 🙂

@ConVerTT Is there a layer of undercoating that you have removed with the copper slag? or was that paint?

@ckurtz2 the thread linked in the first post has some links to the bearings that were used.
