wheee!

Dropped the oil pan tonight and cleaned it out. Some media blasting and a day at the parts spa will clean it up ready for powder coating!

The funny thing is that the factory used clamps all over the FI lines....

I hear you... I am looking for some hard line to AN6 fittings as we speak. It is on my to do list! Edit: You spurred me to action and i finally got them ordered today. ?

Considering the primary factor here being your limited garage space and need to park a car beside your project, I would vote for a nice Z32 in good condition that needs little to no work at the moment. Drive it until you need to do any major work, then hopefully you will have found either a bigger place to work on it or a local shop to help. Attempting an S30 restoration in a two car garage that is half occupied is a great way for someone else to pick up your project for cheap when you give up.... read my thread, it will be a sobering process.

Usually it is due to the sunroofs being cut in... no one wants a sunroof!

No, I meant the entire roof section being cut into the A pillars back to the hatch.

@ConVerTT is also going to have to go through this process with his low VIN 240... maybe he has a plan on this too?

I could.... but I don't really want to...

Having never experienced the joy of driving these cars, I am unsure as to what to expect from the gas smell. It may be present or may not... The tank evap unit will be removed and the hoses recirc'd back in the rear quarter. The existing vapour return line is theoretically a feed to the tank. It will still have some fumes, but would they present a problem so far forward? I don't know. It is an easy fix at the rear if I remove it. Even if I vent in the rear of the car, under the body let's say, I may not remove the return line that I installed. The filter may end up being window dressing serving no real purpose.

The feed line will go to the front of the engine and push out the back of the rail near the firewall. This will also allow me to wire tuck the injector lines beneath the fuel line!

Why hello there tank breather filter!

Looks like the fuel filter will fit just perfect here too! Should line up almost perfect to the fuel rail. The return line will route in below the top 90 and back to the pressure regulator.

Found a home for the IAC along with some blingy breather filters for it and the valve cover.

Zeddsaver doesn't do floor pans, you're thinking of ZeddFindings! Opposite sides of the country....

He is indeed in Vancouver, but sells in US dollars.... no discount for Canadians. Even the shipping is based on US costs.

Zeddsaver has 280 engine bay tags...

Mais, si vous voulez avoir les beaux morceaux comme ca, ca coute. Et maintenant je n'ai plus besoin de m'enquiete dans la futur...

Oui oui mon ami, c'est aussi plus cher pour nous canadiens....

Looking good Kent!

View Advert 1976 280Z GM HEI Ignition upgrade Selling my freshly modified 1976 electronic ignition box that has been discreetly modified with a modern GM HEI ignition system. Since I am going Haltech and Coil on Plug, this system is no longer needed. I built this from plans available in this forum using a GM style HEI ignition. Everything is tucked inside the case and looks stock for the purists! Asking $100 plus shipping. This pic shows the stock motherboard being removed and the new heatsink for the GM HEI to go in.

As I understand it, the left hand thread side is unobtanium and you need to replace with the newer right right style o inner and outer. I used this as an excuse to get Techno Toy Tuning outers and newer right right inners.

I was planning on a retro sound unit but I am still not 100% decided. Any USB port will deliver 5v or it is not USB. Part of being a standard is to, well maintain a standard! I am also planning on discreetly including a USB printer style port that interfaces with the Haltech ECU. That way I can plug a laptop in without having to have access to the ECU.

100 tonne press, acetylene torch and soaked in transmission fluid for three days... barely came out under 60 tonnes of pressure.

Just the mention of Spindle Pins and I need a drink... Where’s my bottle of Bundy’s?

I think the finished design will be very sleek and sporty...!
