Congratulations on the purchase. Owning a Rebello Z myself, I have to say it is definitely an awesome experience. I hope you enjoy it for many years to come
-
My second Z was a bolt and nut restoration. Felt bad modifying it, so I bought one in lesser condition. No regrets!
-
I look forward to seeing the finished project as well!

$25,000 invested in what, and is that over the course of 27 years? I think thats the biggest question. I'd ask for a copy of all the receipts, or his word would be nothing to me. All the items he listed doesn't sound like $25,000 to me, unless labor is included in that price. Don't be afraid to look for Z Cars in California and have a friend, member, or contact check it out for you. Even flying to California to look at a car could be an option. 250hp on a 2.4L stroked block doesn't sound very realistic.

Unfortunately the only size that comes in 4x114.3 are 17" wheels. The 15x8's only come in 4x100 et0, or else I would have ordered a set!

Yeah Leon! You are more than welcome! If you remember Ivan with the white Hakosuka, and his friend... we will all be rolling out together. He lives up north, so most likely we'll all be meeting at the location. Shoot me a PM with your e-mail so I can update you on logistics .

Julio, You could always join in on the Anti-Football Run on January 1st which is free unless you want a sweater ($35). A few friends of mine and myself will be in attendance (65 Mini, my Z, a 72 Skyline).

zdriver.com I think?

Rebello 3.0L, Triple Mikuni's and Fujitsubo headers + exhaust... and totally streetable (on 91 Octane). 239 whp / 221 wtq. Enough said.

Epic. I think my age qualifies me as an A$$ douche ...

Past Z car owner, stuff to give away

I'd be interested as well, and local. PM sent. -
Sent you a PM Alan, thanks.
-
Alan, would you happen to have another set available? I could definitely use a new set as well. Apologizes I didn't see your reply to Travis earlier.

Here I was preparing to buy a LHD one, not knowing it was different!

Beautiful Gnose
-
Awesome story! Great explanation of how they work
-
Congratulations on your purchase. It looks like a solid car, and the rust doesn't look too bad. Bookmarked your blog
-
Lovin' it! Do you mind if I ask what size wheels / tires combo you are running? Are those Hayashi's or Rotas?
-
Mitchell, Your seats do look great by the way...
-
Compe seats finally came in Overall I am psyched, they look like they are in very good condition with a little touch up that can be done. One of the headrests, not pictured, has the "NISSAN" symbol embedded in the side. The two stickers on the rear of one seat read "JAF-FIA Motorsports 1988" and "1989" (Japanese Auto Federation - Federation Internationale de l'Automobile," Maybe this means they were on some type of race car? :cheeky: I will be getting my Z back from the alignment shop today. So we'll see how things go in terms of progress to get them in.
-
Can't wait to see them. My Compe seats come in tonight, so I'll be calling Wedge Engineering in the morning to order some brackets/sliders. How long did they take to get to you from the day you ordered?

Reaction Disk reattached, now brake pedal is very stiff
spitz17 replied to Ben's Z's topic in Wheels & Brakes
Yep! If the push rod is sitting hard against the MC piston thats no good. You probably have to put a line on both of the side bleeders of your MC, routing them back into the reservoirs, to let out the pressure so the piston can release. -

spitz17 replied to Ben's Z's topic in Wheels & Brakes
The 0.3mm is the amount of empty space that should be between the end of the pushrod and the black plunger in the master cylinder, I believe. -

spitz17 replied to Ben's Z's topic in Wheels & Brakes
Did you adjust the push rod? The push rod clearance (or gap) between itself and the plunger should be around 0.3mm (+/- 0.2mm). Here is a good how to: http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/102754-a-one-inch-diameter-brake-master-cylinder-for-the-s30-z-cars/ -
Thanks for putting this together Julio, definitely very helpful!
