  1. Well...... It's too late for pics so let me see if I can explain it. I was so DAMN mad at this that I forgot to take pics. The reason that I can't take them now is that I used some liquid weld to make sure they stayed on. I ground on the inside of the cap tabs and then bent the ends out while they were hot so they would catch on the wheel and then put the weld on the outside of the tab to secure the cap with the wheel. I hope this makes sense... :nervous: Just remember the front caps require more grinding then the rear caps do on accont of the tight fit between the front spindle caps and the wheel.... LARRY
  2. I've now upgraded the front brakes to the Toyota 4x4 calipers with much improved braking.... BTW the center cap and emblems I used are from MSA and the front caps require more grinding then the rear ones do...... LARRY
  3. My new KONIG 15x7 rims with COOPER COBRA RADIAL G/T 225-50-15. I had placed an order with MSA $630 shipped but the rims are on backorder and they have a long list of buyers and could give me no ship date. I cancelled the order and ordered them from TYLER ggtyler@yahoo.com $545 shipped. They are silver with polished lip and they look great..... A few thoughts..... They came without lug nuts so I got them at my tire shop, standard 12x1.25m. The KONIG supplied center caps will not fit the front dust cover so I had a set of larger caps with the Z center that I had for my 72 240Z and with some grinding they fit...DAMN. The front tires rubbed on my MSA type 3 air dam so with a little grinding on the rear lip of the air dam that was fixed. I also notice with the wider tire the steering is much easier..... LARRY
  4. You might find this link interesting...... http://autocolorlibrary.com/acl_files/datsun.html LARRY
  5. Carl, Thanks for your timely reply..... LARRY
  6. Hi Carl, Thanks for your reply and not to be a pest but I have people telling me the have 75 or 76 280Z'S that they bought with auto trans/R-200. What diff. came with the auto trans in those 2 years??? Or did NISSAN not make an auto trans those 2 years???? LARRY
  7. So.... Is this statement correct???? 75-76 280Z'S with auto trans had a R-200 diff and the years before and after had R-180 diff with an auto trans???? If this is true anyone know the reasoning in this????? LARRY

  9. Nothing wrong with a few mods..... LARRY
  10. Although I usually just read the threads, I must post to this and say.... "This has been amazing reading!!"ROFL LARRY
  11. Fair enough...... Go to this Auto Zone link and click on Fig. 36 Engine Control Schematic 83 280ZX link. http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?ForwardPage=/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/1d/1d/80/0900823d801d1d80.jsp The Black/White wire carrying 12V goes from the ign. switch to the ign. relay and the coil. What is the reading at each with ign. on???? IMO the ign. switch needs to be replaced as this is a common problem, as opposed to the the coil or relay being bad, due to the amount of use...... LARRY
  12. Although worded a little different I noticed you posted this same question on HybridZ.org in the Chevy V-8 forum and said it was a 83 280ZX/SBC. So what exactly do you have????? LARRY
  13. Auto Zone web site....... http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?ForwardPage=/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/1d/1d/80/0900823d801d1d80.jsp LARRY
