$25,100 I love original paint!

I'm in!

Sweaty, ZcarDepot has quality japanese ignition parts you might consider. I run them with no issues. https://zcardepot.com/engine/ignition/distributor-rotor-ignition-74-78.html

I believe the color you're describing is Safari Gold, color code 920, A favored color of many members here .... Good luck with your search!

I know from 1st hand experience, plus I remember Zup replaced his Redline filled tranny with Delco and reported a very noticeable improvement in shifting - especially when cold. Redline is a good product, but in the case of the transmission, the AC Delco product is better.

Use the Delco Friction Modified in the transmission - superior to the Redline for this purpose. Redline 75w90 for the rear diff.

RCB, I can almost guarantee you the covers are from Interior Innovations - just sold thru an Ebay seller. They are very good quality, I have the leather ones, have been very pleased with them, and they are one of the best sellers I have ever dealt with.

Very much looking forward to it! Hope the Shiner Bock is stocked up. Should be a great time.

"Where does he get those wonderful toys?"

This company, near Denver might be worth checking ... appears to have 2" 8 point sockets in 3/4" or 1" drive. Standard length, deep, or extra deep. No idea of the cost on their web site, they have a 800 number or email. I am guessing it will be expensive.

Thanks Cliff! It would add that sporty look your riding mower.

I have kept this wheel for a while, had it on two of my turbo zx's. In very good condition overall condition. Horn hub ring on adapter has some wear. Grant signature 13" diameter leather steering wheel, includes adapter kit for 70 -83 Z & ZX, horn button. I think it is leather, have had it so long I can't remember, but the cost of the wheel without the kit was originally over &100 Adapter included is the less expensive standard one, not the billet adapter. $65 shipped in CONUS

Very inventive. Nice job!

I'll 2nd that! Very nice..

Yes, it for all the internal critical torque fasteners. According to ARP ... Prevents Seizing And Galling On All Threaded Fasteners Designed To Reduce Tension Pre-Load Scatter And Eliminate The Need To Cycle High Performance Engine Fasteners Before Final Installation Prevents Rust And Corrosion During The Life Of The Lubricant Effective Lubrication Range -50 to 2000 Degrees Fahrenheit

I'll add this to Cliff's list ....

When did the motor last start & run? To start with ... Verify you have a charged battery, (voltage is important with FI), then verify spark, and if so, see if it will run on a shot starter fluid.

Very nice! I think you made the right decision on which seats to go with. Was it Interior Innovations that supplied the seat kits?

Out of interest, did you try the double nut technique to remove the studs? That is what worked for me when I did a lot of manifold work 3 or 4 years ago. I did have the advantage of the manifold off the car though. Wanted to replace the studs with ss bolts for a cleaner look with the block off plate. Best of luck on your low vacuum issue. Will be interesting to know what the ignition timing is currently at, when you get to that

The Exedy kit is a very good oem replacement clutch. I have used them on two z cars without issue. Amazon is a great source for it. https://www.amazon.com/EXEDY-06009-OEM-Replacement-Clutch/dp/B001B5D7TE/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1487631287&sr=1-1&keywords=exedy+clutch+280z Her flywheel will definitely need to be resurfaced, if the labor price she was quoted holds, she might get away with about $400

Very nice. I love having some trick tools. Could have used that a couple of years ago ...

I submitted grannyknot's car to BAT, it was accepted, and the extra exposure I am sure helped drive the final price on Ebay. BAT has quite a following now, the S30's get a lot of attention. Worked out perfect. I think the op's car is a high 20's car. Comes with lots of provenance.

Excellent point!

Beautiful car! I agree with DatsunZguy about putting it on BAT. A number of 73 240's have done well on there of late. Does not look like it would take much to return it to all original if the new owner wanted to. Great pictures Steve, thanks for adding those. GLWS

Very nice. They look great! No seat heaters? CO, if it was his car, would have put them in for sure!
