I see there is stated a 280zx has a C type box? where i know it's a B.. A 280zx has never had a Fs5W71C always a B i could be wrong ofcourse. So they (also) don't know it all..

DID someone say: post your bike?? My Fireblade.. drove 294km/h on the german raceway eh.. highway.. 😉 This bike normally has 2 ugly braces going from the tank to the mirrors.. A dealer sayd no after i asked can this be made on another way? it's damn ugly? He sayd it to the wrong guy! Made myself some strong triangular steel replacement parts IN the fairing! You can see one side clearly inside the fairing connected to the mirror (on the right mirror) I later on checkt and it still works fine by 280 km/hour ! I can see clearly how others behind me where not keeping up ! No shaky mirrors! 😂 After i smashed this bike, and restored it i sold it to the son of a friend! That good it was again! My friend did'nt believe this was the same bike as the one i smashed against a big oak... i can still feel the hit... Then i became a bit more sensible.. bought me an old... yeah a Gold Wing 1100.. Hahaha with a trailer! (Trailer is called a freebird! bloody expensive those things!) Boxer 4 cyl. 80 horse.. After restore.. sold it and got me a... (after selling a nice 280zx t-bar.) Almost new Pan-European (1300cc) that went very well but after a few years i wanted the big boy... A as new Gold Wing a 1832cc 6 cylinder boxer engine with 170Nm (eh about 120 footinches qsquaremeter thingy's? what you guys use hahaha..) lots of torq anyway.. And with central locking on remote, cruisecontrol... i'm not kidding you.. and 4 speaker stereo haha... and and...pfff...

Oh.. you just have to wait LESS than a year!!

Must be very fine glass beads then.. i have done glass beads wet.. aluminium comes out a bit coarse.. I did some rims last summer with my pressurewasher with special tool for sandblasting with water, it works with around 40-50 bar (600-750 psi) and after i did them i leave my driveway to dry and can clean up very easy.. (lay a pond patch (rubber) on the driveway.) on the left a example, right 2 ready for paint.. I used a very fine sand, over here it's called "zilverzand" transl. it would be silversand.. a very fine silverish sand.. Costs? some of my time.. 😉

Looks very good! What kind of media did they use besides water? It looks very clean! I once restored a Honda Goldwing 1100 with all the bells and whistles.. but i could not drive the damn "to small for me" bike.. I now have the big Goldwing 1800/6Cyl... barely fit on that big bike with my 6foot5.. haha...

Totally agree, but if you google them (those 300zx's) you'll see a lot of them in varius "colors" of .Sapphire Blue Pearl TK3 on the different pictures taken all in different situations. I get a good pallet when you put on google: Nissan 300zx TK3 (go to pictures.) I think this one is a good presentation..

I had to put that into the translator.. haha and then see Zed head's post hahaha..😂 Yup Clarification.. On topic: i've seen that there are labels on those harnesses with the part number.. don't know if this is on all years but the later 1979 zx has them.

Hi, You could look for a nissan 300zxtt blue color. Google nissan TK3.. (Sapphire Blue Pearl TK3)

😂 Yeah right.. I have never seen one without it... If you can go for a early modell with the stainless in the front of the bumpers.. they still have the looks of the s30 240/260/280z's ... I restored a euro version without those nasty looking bumpers, it costs about 30-35 grand.. it's not a cheap hobby IF done right!

Don't think so.. just take it "to the cleaners" and you could test it for cracks but thats your desision.. these blocks are resiliant they can take a punch.. don't worry to much! Let us know the result after cleaning.. bet it's a nice block.

Here in Europe a E31 Head is 1500 euro so the complete engine is a no-brainer.. 🤩

I get them the same way.. inbetween paragraph's I sayd it before, only thing you/we can do is buy nothing from them.. i'm done with Bosch.. Next time it's a Makita drill.. haha

Jim....Jim...Jimmm... When do you put the wheels on the right side? Your right wheels are the left ones... look on the rim it says R and L.. for a reason.. When they are on the correct side the design sucks the air from under the car, yours are now putting the air under the car.. (those tireguys.. sleeping also..) A 300ZXTT and non turbo 1989-2000 has 4 different rims.. and there are 4 different part numbers on them CHECK THEM..

psst... mine to.. but i wake it every month to run the airco/climatecontrol.. and it saves it.. after 28 years still the original filling R12 and 5,1 degrees celcius at outlet! Also the hydrolic lifters need some action! And lately i hear that the heater system also needs action.. take it standing through the gears also good... yeah a good preservation needs some dedication huh? 20180418_142547.mp4

Some pics from the 300zxtt past.. also the milage in kms in june 2007. Small pics from a former collector/fan and the big pics are mine back in 2007. Car is still as pretty now in 2020.

Yeah.. i think i check with my painter... i have a small bill still open i need to pay him haha.. (for my blue 280zx) maybe we can agree on a little contribution from his side.. 😉 Yes the car is a stock one.. i build in a new radio but took the effort to get the connectors from a spare radio so the new radio can exchanged in 10 minutes to original! Cables are NOT molested! I bought this car like new in 2007 with 61000 km on the clock.. (has now 86500) This car has also never seen winter.. Our DMV is called RDW (sort of) and they keep track on when the car is getting used or not.. (it's called "schorsen" = postponed or suspended) They also keep track every year(!) on the driven kilometers! and check if your vehicle is still MOT (Overhere APK) approved! IF not you need to suspend the car otherwise you will get a big fine! Every owner of a car in the Netherlands can ask the RDW for a list of his or her car, how much kms it made and when.. isn't that beautiful hey! Further they also check if your vehicles are assured! If not? SCHORSEN!= take it of the street and postpone the roadtax and maybe also the assurance.. About roadtax.. A car like a 240z and my 280zx is free.. this means i can drive it when i assure it and it has a MOT (APK here in Netherlands.) A car like the 300zxtt is not over 40 years old and you have to pay roadtax, this is depending on WEIGHT.. pfff... as a 300zxtt weighs 1630 kg overhere i pay almost a 1000 euro's a year only to be allowed to go on the street.. It needs also to be insurred and have an MOT.. Yeah yeah.. Dutch regulations... oeps..

My painter did a little correction on a paintjob..(rear bumper.). and finished with a good cleaning.. this was years ago.. He damaged the black sticker and the Nissan sign on the rear .. (in a carcleanershop with to much pressure on the HPcleaner.) I investigated the prices the long black sticker $76,97 ex.. the nissan sticker $53,13 and twinturbo costs $42,52 thats $172,62 And excl. VAT.. and shipping... and then customs.. mmm nice work painter.. De nieuwe 500 la Prima Rij weg in de stadsauto van de toekomst: De nieuwe Fiat 500. fiat.nl Is there a cheaper solution? Yes a "300zx fairlady" sticker on the back instead of the nissan and twinturbo sticker this one costs about 18-19 dollars .. That would be Japanees original but not europe original... i don't know if that's a problem? Anyone other ideas?

A good scope cost money on the other hand you just need a simple (analog )scope.. but if your not technical underlaid in electronic systems, i don;t think you will be able to use this kind of equipment.. I took a look but there is changed a lot since the time i bought me a scope.. First was 40 years ago and the last at least 15.. I could use a new one haha.. a handheld one (my last one) could also be something for you.. but again it took some good education to handle those things..

top tip: Now if you have to plate long springs I put an elongated piece of steel with notches in the ends IN the spring so that it is stretched and the spring becomes perfectly plated.. 👍 Your parts look very nice CO!

As a "college restorer" of mine always says... "Ut zien net krehjuh.. ast mar blihnkt" A very local saying.. in dutch: Het zijn net kraaien... als het maar blinkt! Translation would be: They all are like crows, it has to be shiny!!! Hahaha... it's true! 😜

Put a LUX meter on the floor at a marked spot.. (Open spot, not near anything, in connection with reflections that give wrong measurment) do this again after 2 years of use.. (hope they still work then.. ) and i guarantee you the lighting will be worse..)

and.. In 2012 i installed my own designed and build, i may ad.. very exclusive kitchen.. I also installed floor lights under the edge of the kitchen island.. It looks very nice.. but in a year or 2 there were a lot of the leds dead.. after just a few hours of use! (the brand is EGLO.. It is/WAS! a austrian/hungarian brand since 1969 ( est. Ludwig obwieser) BUT after some research i found that...ofcourse... they produce it in China since 2001... clearly it's JUNK! Once again: you get what you pay for!!!!!!!.. grrr.... About EGLO | EGLO Leuchten GmbH Yeah.. they are proud of there Junk.. Foundation Determination, perseverance and constant development: These are the cornerstones we established the company upon. About 50 years ago, the founder Ludwig Obwieser gave the company exactly these characteristics. So far he has written a success story that we not only celebrate, but that we can also be proud of.

Top tip... Saw the first 1-2 inch off the brush.. you have a good brush again! That piece of wood gets in the way with brushing.. now no longer! Use a steel saw..

sayd it before.. new does not mean "good" .. the injector is one of the (many?) problems.

As european cars don't have that junk on board , i can't help you!
