Home Built Z 'Full video build'

I really like what you did with the graphics! Subtle, not too flashy, nice touch.

I like that steering wheel. All the 240Z wheels I've seen before have different spokes than what you have. The series 1 cars don't have the holes punched out, they're just indented where the holes on this wheel are.

I thought mine was the original, but one of my viewers identified it as a 240K wheel. Either way, I like it so it can stay.

In this episode I have a go at TIG welding a stainless steel exhaust for the 680g with a bit of help from Benny, aka The Mechanical Stig.

STOP!!! That long straight pipe will DRONE like hell.  You will need a glass pack in the middle to break up the resonance.

[wheee!]

Yup. You need a resonator in there or it will be unbearable.

Thanks for the tip. That will be pretty easy to splice in, so I will order one.

Good man!!!

In this episode Benny gives me a hand to bleed the brakes and I finish off the exhaust tips.

In this episode I finally do something about the suspension and ride height of the 680.

You will need a spindle pin puller!! When you do the rear wheel bearings it makes removing the lower control arms possible.
