"new pistons with the designation "50 mm / ID .12" on the top of them" This stamping on TOP of a piston indicates the cylinders have been bore out by the amount shown. Is " ID .12" " a typing error? Or does it say " OD "? ID refers to the INSIDE DIAMETER where as OD refers to the OUTSIDE DIAMETER. I would think the bore in your engine is .12" over that of the stock diameter. Find out what the stock bore dia. is and compare. Buy a gasket kit ( I recomend FELLPRO ) slap that beast together and tell us about how it is. WELCOME TO THIS WEB SITE QMan ! - JEFF

Maybe the 4 row rad is the differance..? -Jeff

The Positive battery cable and the smaller wire ( with inline conector ) mounts on the bare stud shown closest to you in the picture. The wire that is already bolted on is in the correct spot. - Jeff

Maybe from LH drive car ??? - Jeff

I like MSA's selection

The other option for the roof is heating and quenching to srink the streched metal --- a good body man can do it --- i've seen my dad do it. - jeff

Black or grayish --- grayish being closer to charcoal ---- that one doesn't look correct to me. -Jeff

I was also hit head-on by a van! My bike faired better than I did. My chest and head took out the hood , windshield and one wiper arm. My bike claimed the grille. I spent 1.5 days in the hospital. A concusion was the worst of my injuries. Heads up for the cars , hey ? - Jeff

g72s20 - my rims are from a US 1978 280z . The Z cars were selling so well over here in the states that the dealerships wanted a little more of the pie. They started putting aftermarket alloy rims on the Z cars and selling them for more money! They are 14x7 (standard 280Z rim size) I refinished them myself ( about 40-50 hours of sandpaper scrubbing) The dealerships had installed rims such as these so I do not know the manufacturer of them. I like how well they fill out the wheel opening in comparison to the other rims in the "before the body kit" photos . - Jeff

Before the body kit and rims

9 years ago this '72 Z went into my dad's bodyshop for a ground up overhaul / restoration...

For the price of a cap & rotor .... replace them if you haven't or don't remember when it was done. Check the throttle linkages for any stiffness on 'return to closed' position. Check & see if the chokes ( on the bottom of the carbs) are closing fully with the choke lever ( will run rich if one or both do not close fully). check / replace the air cleaner if you can not see through it from the inside to outside. Is the black on #5 & #6 plugs wet or dry? - Jeff

Wow Carl .. Thanks ! - Jeff

Putting the glass into the rear hatch was not a problem...that went in easy with the seal on the window 1st. But the hard part was putting the ss trim on. So when I put the windshield in do I do it the same way or do I put the trim in the seal ( with seal on the glass ) then install the window? - Jeff

When installing the windshield ... Does the stainless steel trim get installed before or after the windshield is in place? Last night a friend and I installed the trim on the rear hatch with the window installed 1st. We had a hard time getting it in no matter how much liquid soap we used. We used the plastic windshield installation tool sold by VB. Took us about 1&1/2 hours to get that installed. Did we do it in the wrong order?? - Jeff

I have serched the "parts swapping" pages for help but found none. I installed the electronic ignition fron a '78 280z on my 240z. I have not been able to figure out how to make the tachometer work yet. Any help for me? ( all of the 240 wiring is still there - I only used some of it for the E.I.) - Jeff

I have put '78 head and F.I. on my L24 block -- All works well. I used the stock 240z fuel return line with out any trouble. The problem I have RIGHT NOW is that the hood will not close with the stock 280z air cleaner mounted in the 280z factory position ( to high ). Any thoughts on what to do? I plan to try putting the mounting flange on the bottom of the radiator support instead of on top. - Jeff

I need the same .... - Jeff
