    Hello, What kind of glue should I use to try to repair some small Hairline cracks in the First Geneneration Z center consoles? And some advice from someone who has tried to repair their consoles? Thanks in advance.
  2. Hello everyone. Has anybody tried to remove paint from the plastic hood vent louvers that came with the 77-78 280Z? I need some advice as to what is the best way to remove the paint without hurting the plastic. Obviously harsh chemicals are not the answer. Thank you in advance.

    I need some suggestions. I'm replacing my Radiator on my 78 280Z cause it's leaking bad. I was doing well in the process of removing my radiator out so I decided that I may as well replace my water pump while I'm at it. As I was removing the bolts that hold the water pump to the engine block, I turned one of two of the bigger size bolts on the bottom of the water pump and it Broke. leaving almost an inch of the end of the bolt inside the block. Any of you guys ever had this happen to them? Please give me some advice. I will attempt to drill it out but scared I might do more damage than repair. Maybe I should just leave it there. What do you guys think.
  4. Thank you for your reply HMS sports. That is very helpful.
  5. Hello. I just purchased my first Z, a 1978 280Z 5sp. I'm thrilled to be driving it. I have been reading various posts on this site, and have come to a conclusion that I will upgrade my front brakes to the toyota 4x4 caliper setup in the future. So I decided that I should first upgrade the brake MC to the bigger bore 15/16" size from the Early 280ZX and bleed the fluids. My question is, Would anybody care to comment on buying a "Remufactured" Master cylinder whereas to buying a new one? If anyone has any suggestions or has installed "reman" Brake cylinders on their Z's, which remanufacturer brand would you recommend? thanks.

    Hi, Does anybody here know of a good body shop in the San Francisco, California Area? Or does anybody have any advice how to stop or treat rusted, pitted body/exterior?
