MH77280Z

Just looked at mine and each caliper has 4 pistons. Thats why probably. Let me try to find any part number on them and will post.

Hi Guys, were these standard on 280z? any thoughts about the 2 piston calipers. I have replacement calipers in the front from Oriellys but my originals which I plan to rebuild are 2 piston per caliper etc.

Location to buy? 🙂

Here in CA parking outside is not an issue in general that it can develop rust and stuff.

Any good 280z car cover recommendation? One that is sturdy and also water resist or water proof. Appreciate if u can share experiences.

I might take the dash out as there is a slight coolant leak from the vacuum cook valve etc. I have a replacement for that. Based on @jonathanrussell input too. I am thinking just to properly seal block the passenger side cowl where the blower intake is. Blast the other side as much as possible. Treat the passenger side like @jonathanrussell mentioned by hand. Later take the dash out to change the vacuum cook etc. This way any residual blast media if any can be taken out. Meanwhile disconnect the fan.

Guys, this is the only rust area i have, the cowl. I am thinking of blasting it as the wire brush is not good enough. This is heavy rust but still no pitting like damage. Top is ok, Issue is how much i can blast on the lower area. Also i think the passenger side has air passage into the blower motor i believe? my blower motor and air heating works fine. I would assume all the media will just get into the blower motor and through that inn the ducts? How should i prevent that? or just seal that side and do it with hand, blast the center and driver side only?

That's interesting as i did not find any clips like these nor any double sided tape. Badges were metal, i will try these too.

Heating and prying worked pretty nicely. Just a bit more patience and go slow. And there was an abandant wasp nest 😆

Hey Guys, what is the best way to take these off? i am planning to get the car painted. I tried access them from inside by removing the inner panels but no luck. Looking at the new ones they have 3 pins. Should I just use a heat gun and pry them out with a screw drivers? They are a bit beat up too!!!

Headlight front marker wiring rubber plug this one plugs into the body where the wires go into the engine bay. Is there a reproduction available for these?

I am ok, i found the 3rd nut behind the plastic wheel wells.

Guys, took the two bolts out holding the front side rubber bumpers to the main front chrome bumper. Rear end of the side bumpers is help to the body near the side markers by something which i cannot locate from inside. I am hesitating yanking it out. What is that holding them?

Thanks guys would certainly contact Ron this time if this is the recommendation.

Looking at the tread Zclock does restoration vs guys in IL can do a quartz conversation. I am not sure how long the mechanical movement will last. They are old school and can go bad anytime. I am leaning towards quarts movement.

Hi, anyone tried this? mine doesnt work and I suspect old mechanical parts. Anyone tried quartz conversion?

Last time I locked my doors my ignition was in ON!!! Luckily I had found a spare few days back tucked in a small bag and tied to the inside of the front fender by the previous owner which saved me from some pain.

I am sure not many folks had seen this. Found one rarely…the knob that opens and shut the air duct near the legs/knees on the driver side 🙂

Thanks

I have not pulled the door panels out to see what is wrong but my door locks really are bad and the key barely move the lock up etc. even the key is bend. These original keys are also kind of not as hard. Has anyone replaced the 2 door locks? is it easy and any recommendation what locks to get?

Coming along… Appreciate the support of all you guys. It has been the lifeline for this Z.

Will live with this for now …

Inflated the original and it is not bad looking at all. I mean look inflated pretty evenly with a car inflator and inflated to 25psi in about less than 5 min. Seems to be holding air. I plan to let it sit for few hours.
