Hi, can I get these bolts still anywhere? Alternatively, could someone give the dimensions of the bolts? It was mentioned that it tis a M14x85 bolt. What's the diameter of the cylindrical part and how long ist the thread? Thank you.

I ran into the same problem with the interference of the filler neck panel. What is best solution? Just bash it in until there is enough room to get a bolt into the gap between the quarter panel and the fillerneck panel? Any alternative?

The adjuster for my 280Z Quartz clock.

Can this be unscrewed or disassembled?

Hi, if the top mount PU solution from Energy Suspension causes increased NVH, would it be possible to use a GM-OEM-replacement? Or would the rubber be too weak?

Originally, I was planning to install strut bars front and rear, but a friend of mine uses a similar setup and still complains about lack of body rigidity. I try to find out if this is an obersavtion of a single person or a sympton of a single car or if there is general and significant room for improvement.

Hello, I am currently restoring a 1977 280Z and I am thinking about reinforcing the car. Does anybody have experience with the Front Fender Braces from Apexengineered (https://www.apexengineered.com/store/p67/Front__Fender_Brace.html)? Or are there any other braces that are more beneficial than the ones for the fenders? JagoBlitz

The toroid and this gear should be glued together, right? When I disassembled the clock the gear just fell out.

Another 280Z owner told me that his rocker arms and all rocker arms he ordered from Nissan had this parallelogram on them.

Hello, i disassembled my L28 cylinder head yesterday and I was wondering why my rocker arms are not all marked the same. Are these original Nissan rocker arms or were they already replaced by a previous owner? Thank you for your help. JagoBlitz

Ah, okay. So I am only half-blind. Thank you.

Where can I find this in the Service Manual? I think I am blind.

You have an air dam for the 260/280Z (3125) We have problems with the one for the 240Z (3124).

I already used a heat gun, but this only helped a little bit. Acc. to MSA the air dams used to be a lot more flexible in the past. I guess they changed the PU compound without testing what would happen to the fitment.

Well, in my opinion it's a shame what Xenon delivers here. I even had a crack at the bottom of the air dam, but Xenon did not really care. It is the customer's job to repair it... They are not interested in improving the product or the package it comes in.

I bought my air dam last year and I have the exact same problem. Unfortunately, grannyknot's case does not seem to be an exception...

I will disassemble the rear supension in the next couple of days... then I can compare.

I have the ones in the center of your photo and they are different.

Hi, I just removed the front suspension and steering from my 1977 280Z. Afterwards, I found a washer with following dimensions: Inner Diameter: 12mm Outer Diameter: 40mm Thickness: 9mm I am in the process of a complete tear-down so that I can send the body away for blasting. It could be possible that this part does not belong to the front suspension, but I'm pretty sure that it was not on the floor when I started the disassembly. Does anybody know where this belongs to? Thank you. Jagoblitz

Thank you very much. If I cannot get the complete connectors I can at least try to get new crimp contacts and reuse the connector housings. I am not a big fan of cutting the wires behind the old connectors and soldering them to a new harness.

Hello, ist there a list of connectors which were used in the Fairladies? I would like to build a complete new harness and if it is possible I would like to do that with the original-style connectors. Does anybody know the manufacturers and respective connector series that were used? That would really help my search. I know that I can get some of the connectors at http://www.vintageconnections.com/, but I live in Germany and would like to source the parts locally or at least inside the EU. Thank you very much.

Well, right now I am still gathering parts, I have not installed the MSA strut mounts yet. But they seem to provide more damper travel (as advertised). Thank you for the Koni bump stop part number. Is this foam or solid material? I think these should be included in the damper kit.

lapriser was so kind to send me his 3D models. I wanted to see how this setup looks like if you use the Insulated Spring Seat & Strut Mount Set from MSA. It looks like a sleeve without the flange would help to move the bump stop further upwards.
