My Datsun 280Z "Rustoration"

Does a new set of hardware, bolts come with the Fidanza flywheel to prevent embedment of the bolts?

Hope your motor gets to you soon.

No such luck. I'll buy a new set from Nissan and use some loctite. The list of things I need keeps getting bigger and bigger....

HaZmatt,

When you worked on the rubber parts, what product did you use for the degreasing?

Thanks, Charles

Keep up the good work and keep posting pictures! I love it!

I took my gas tank to a local radiator shop and had them hot tank and seal it. They also painted it black for me.

Installed new rubber insulators on the straps

Cleaned up the filler hose and installed it.

And finally got my tank in.

Now I just need to figure out where all of these fuel lines go

Also bought a new side mirror from a 240Z

Holes dont line up so I had to drill a new hole and make the other one larger

And installed pic

Much better than the plastic 280Z mirrors I think.

Started assembling my door glass. Polished them up a little to take some of the fine scratches out.

Smooth as.... well, glass.

Freshly plated hardware

Now I need to source some new window regulators because I had mine plated and it destroyed the plastic rollers and the crank mechanism in the process :disappoin

On a happier note I talked to Dave Rebello and he told me my motor was finished and he just needs to do the dyno testing on it. So if all goes well it should be shipping out soon!

Looks great!

What did you use to polish the glass? My windshield has minor surface things I'd like to polish off.

I just used a buffing compound with an aggressive pad. It took out most of the fine scratches and haziness. There are some deeper ones that I may try to get out with a glass polish kit.

New brake booster painted black and installed with new master cylinder. Also installed misc brake lines.
