Pkease let me know. Im in need of one. Mine is stuck. Thanks.

Well today I gave up looking at my very dim gauges. I replaced all the dash light and bought leds from ebay. I followed this instructions with ease. And this is the result I got after installing and painting the inside white. Now this picture shows the dash on the dimmest setting. <a href=http://s101.photobucket.com/albums/m78/supermechanix/?action=view&current=20130202_111602_LLS.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m78/supermechanix/20130202_111602_LLS.jpg border=0 alt=></a> And on the highest setting. Which kinda give it like a lexus instrument look. <a href=http://s101.photobucket.com/albums/m78/supermechanix/?action=view&current=20130202_111618_LLS.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m78/supermechanix/20130202_111618_LLS.jpg border=0 alt=></a> Very happy on the results. So thanks for this thread.

Sorry to hear that. Anyways I am interested on the engine. I would like to know more. Pls shoot me a PM. Thanks

Thanks for the advice guys. I almost bought this thing but something is holding me back. Good thing I asked. Thank you very much for the help.

Thanks for the help. I will go ahead and search for it.

Hello fellow members. I am on the same boat. My stock 280z engine is almost dying. I am thinking of rebuilding it but came across this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Z-240Z-260Z-280Z-ZX-P90-High-Compression-L28-Engine-Motor-Head-w-Warranty-/400371712636?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5d3803827c&vxp=mtr Instead of rebuilding my stock, i was wondering getting this. Paired with my stock 5 speed. Since i can pick this up and trade my engine for $150 as a core. I need some opinions regarding the engine posted on ebay. Thanks

I was trying to replace my a/c condenser today because it was leaking. I looked through ebay and found this for 77 280z. Base on the picture, It looks exactly as the OEM. Does anybody has this in their 280z installed? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-Replacement-Air-Condition-AC-A-C-Condenser-Condensor-For-2-8-L6-GAS-/130696518505?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3A280Z&hash=item1e6e1e9b69&vxp=mtr#vi-ilComp

Is that junkyard in Sunland? Pick and pull or the one by Glenoaks?

I just need help regarding about the condenser of my 77 280z. Recently I lost all of my freon and turned out to be a leaking condenser. I searched online for replacement and found this link http://www.shepherdautoparts.com/autoparts/w5rDksOawrvCoMObw5PDlcOTwqI=.htm Is this a good quality product? or should I stay with the stock one I have and have it repair in the radiator repair shop? usually to repair, it costs about $40. Thanks (sorry for bringing up an old thread)

They do come with gasket. I just replaced my thermostat last weekend. So the gasket needs to be replaced as well. If you are replacing the gasket, might as well change the thermostat and clean the surface thoroughly so the gasket sits well. You can get the thermostat gasket at www.autozone.com This is what i got for my 77z http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/1977-Nissan-Datsun-280Z/Thermostat-Gasket/_/N-indg1Z91sst?filterByKeyWord=Thermostat&fromString=search

Definitely a leaking heater core. Same problem on my 280. I looped the heater hose in the engine bay, work my way to get the heater core out, send them to the radiator repair shop. Also replace those old hoses inside as well.

Would love to see this installed.

Thanks for the link and the info. Mine is already deteriorated and the wind noise is killing me. I guess I will try and search the junkyard and see if there are any alternative from other cars.

Do you guys know if there is a cheapest way to replace the rubber only (#8 in the attached file), before buying these parts at black dragon auto at $49.95 each. Thanks.
