At some point, someone on here recommended the rigid ball & cup setup for the caster rods (can't recall what Nissan/Datsun called them 0 tension rods maybe) I finally got around to installing them, and then realized it doesn't replace the rear bushing, which is the one that cracks within a short period of time. I've only put a few hundred miles on my Z in the past couple years, and I have replaced those bushings twice(!)

I think the bronze looks good with the green. TPMS head unit was easy to set up also I went through an automated car wash today- now I know why the 78s have that extra seal on the door frame 😆

Transmission Swap and other things
Apologies - I haven't been on here & didn't see your post There are Volvo bolts - the long suspension bolts have the dowelled ends. The one of them without a dowelled end is likely a head bolt

Not much going on here, as far as the 280Z is concerned. I did finally break down & order a set of Rota TBT 15x8 (zero offset, 4x114.3, 73 hub) in Bronze. I had these on my X1/9, and loved them. I think they will look great on the Z. Still going to use 205/50x15's, will have a slight stretch. I'll figure if I need spacers once they are here, can't find any references for them on a 240/260/280.

I have one of the one piece ones now, to install. Just have to find the thread where the Z member documents the best way to do the install

Thank you! The only thing I have to do on the Z soon, is the outer lip hatch seal - the 3 piece one I put on back when I did all the seals has peeled off along the top. I need to remove the hatch & redo it. If I recall correctly, the best way is the glue it with the 3M black snot & then tape it tight & let it harden in place for several days. I didn't wait with mine.
