  1. New compressor went in; makes a huge difference. Otherwise I am having a 'fun' time removing the wiring harness from the engine bay, trying to loosen 40 year old fittings on the brake and clutch lines, removing tons of undercoating and generally bashing away at the disassembly. At times it is fun and exciting, others more frustratingly slow and tedious. Hats off to all who have gone before as I am sure I am going to make mistakes along the way! Trying to take my time, labelling and tagging everything as I go. I have gone through three boxes of Ziplock baggies already..... Hoping to have the rotisserie here soon, even though I am not ready for it.... snow is coming soon to our parts so I want it in the garage at least!
  2. I made a single post in HazMatts thread and it posted three times.... didn't refresh or try to multiple post either. Forum glitch.
  3. Every single nut bolt and component is coming off my car so the work is there regardless. A review of your finished would be great! A friend of mine is going T3 with his 280 as well, but his is a performance build. Mine is more of a resto-mod. Coilovers now gives me more options later after the car is restored. I have two motors and the first is a stock build, the second will be more performance oriented. Going coilovers now will be a benefit later. The JPN Garage solution looks elegant and more than enough for me. Hazmatt did a great job with his... Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....
  4. In my situation I am having to do a complete rebuild/replacement anyways... Going coilovers is a little more money but not a lot more work than what I'm already doing anyways!... Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

  6. Here's a shot of my Canadian model 76 fuel warning light for reference. Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

    Very interested in your choice and results as I am going to be repainting my (original colour) 280Z 240 green as well. I was contemplating adding a little more metallic to it too...
  8. Picking up a gently used 60 gallon 18.5 cfm compressor tonight. Time to get serious! Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....
  9. JPN Garage is working with them to build the custom S30 options I believe.
  10. Your second link is for the 280Z.... edit: oops, I meant that the JP Garage has them in their link. http://www.jpngarage.com/260Z-280Z-BC-br-coilovers-19745-to-1978-BR-74-78-280Z.htm
  11. why is the forum double/triple posting????
  12. what the heck is going on....
  13. Hey Matt, can you shoot me the measurements you used for the cuts on the stock housings? Looks like about two inches on the rear, less on the fronts.... I would like to duplicate your stance eventually....
  14. Awesome project! Looking forward to the coming months....
  15. One of the inspection doors got a little dent near where the metal support for the latching mechanism is. The press caught a little bit of the corner and pushed the metal a little higher than the surrounding area. No big deal to fix though. A lot easier than if I had welded!
  16. Couple of updated pictures after priming. So much less work than welding! Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....
  17. I have a couple extra units, unknown condition... http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/51048-fi-ecu-mods-and-differences/page-1 but they are the same as the one you have. I don't know what you mean by doesn't run right tho....
  18. This sounds like something that I will want to have, whether or not I decide to mount them, I like having options....
  19. Inspirational work there! Congrats! Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....
  20. Some great info in here! Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....
  21. Fantastic looking product! Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....
  22. wheee! replied to bratliff's topic in Open Discussions
    I wish my car looked as good as this in the first post!
  23. The results are great and I am very glad to louver rather than weld! Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....
