i suppose that wouldnt be a bad idea http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7938785203&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT there it is, happy bidding. -Zach

thats correct, i havent gotten around to posting that again, thanks for doing so! happy bidding. -Zach

i am currently battling this problem and just finding all of this info through a search makes you really appreciate the value of a search tool. What i wanted to add was that when you align the drive shaft hole with the little divot on the oil pump that the fsm describes as the correct setting, the shaft goes into the position as was shown by the picture on the right posted previously. i thought this couldnt be right so of course i moved it a notch ahead and reassembled everything and wa la, nothing worked. well now i know what i did wrong, so as for tomorrow, hopefully i will be able to put even more proof to this. my 1.5c -Zach

Up for sale on ebay right now is a 280ZX dizzy with E12-80 ignition module that i just rebuilt. Put over $100 in new parts into it and decided it wasnt going to be useful for my plan of attack. hoping to break even on my investment. More info at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7932326363&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT bidding starts at $80 Thanks, -Zach

sweet deal man, and was this redying the same color or to a new color?

my repair manual shows two very different panels from the 240z to the 260, so i do believe they were one of the majorly changed items in the early Zs. -Zach

yes, i do have a 72, well atleast the shell is a 72, there are a lot of different parts from different cars in this thing, mainly in the engine bay though, im pretty sure most of the other parts are original to this car... -ZAch

no, nothing really big, largest piece was probably my glove box door, but it came out very evenly, i would suspect it would be the same throughout a large surface, i come to this conclusion largly because it dries slowly so it also dries very evenly, causing the desired affect, unlike spraypaint sometimes does when it dries too fast... -Zach

in the hole above my hazard switch i have a cigarette lighter...not going to really need that, but i guess it will be good for charging the cell!:classic: -Zach

i refurbished mine, i used some vinyl dye on it (it had red overspray all over it) which dyed the paint and plastic (im not sure why this stuff works on plastic, but so far ive had success with it, im using an aresol from NAPA). i would suggest you do this, if your chrome is still intact, if the thing is busted up, then you could look into going the machined-piece route, ive seen a few of these and am planning to do this myself when the time is right.

a fiberglass hood that fits a Z for 100 dollars? im game! -Zach

i just put mine on, look just like the one above, im very happy with an 80 dollars well spent:classic: -ZAch

huh, weird, i was just looking for a post that might tell me what this same exact switch is in my car, i also figured it could be important because of the stock wiring look. but i knew it wasnt being used because i found mine sitting behind my dash when i took it out... i didnt put the antenna back in though, so i guess i dont need it, my car has no speakers or stereo in it, so im going to go XM with a nice little system when i get some dough... thanks for the thread guys, saved me some searching:classic: -Zach

hey, i have used vinyl dye on a bunch of my parts, including some harder parts like the glove box cover, and it has worked well. the stuff i am using came in an aresol can from NAPA. -Zach

hmmm, ok im looking at my mag and they have a "one piece spoiler" part # 50-1573, and the "BRE style spoiler" # 50-1527. i can see obvious physical differences but the BRE looks to be a one piece. i know i have seen those exact spoilers in three sections, i just dont recall where, i bet i have a pic of one on my site... ill have to look, maybe someone just took the BRE and chopped it to their specs. i cant find any three piece spoilers anywhere. the third car down on page 10 looks like the spoiler is connected on the sides, so it must be a three piece, but it doesnt look like a BRE spoiler. -Zach

isnt the one from MSA, the "BRE Style spoiler" just like that? i know they have a couple that look like that, i cant tell the difference between them, maybe one is a one piece and the other is a three piece? if i were to put a spoiler on my car it would deffinately be something like that. -Zach

this place http://www.dashboardrestorations.com.au looks pretty good, i have no clue what they are charging, or what shipping would be, but if you got some money its sure worth looking into

hey, just thought i'd let you guys know i landed myself a job at the local MacDonalds, so now i will have some dough of my own to burn on my car, i cant wait to get paid!! i start next wednesday, wish me luck!

*DROOLS* any 350 would float my boat, even if there was a hole in the roof. sunroofs can be a plearsurable add-on, you know, get some fresh air and a view of the stars, of course you could just roll down the window, and HEY YOUR DRIVING, WHAT ARE YOU DOING STARRING OUT THE ROOF??? -ZAch

haha, car dealership, thats funny, lets see i would only have to drive 50 miles to get to one of those, and a nissan one? even further... the closest i can think of is either a ford or honda one, niether float my boat... unless i got to work on S2000s.... im working on the job thing, dont think im not trying to get money, cause i am, i even do hay for 10 bucks an hour, and usually all you get is a couple hours of work a week and lots of allergic reactions!! oh well, i think out of the like 20 apps and resumes i dropped of last week i'll have to get something. -Zach

sounds like a good idea man, im doing my whole car and i dont even have a job yet, i sure wish i could get one though, not a whole lotta options in a town like mine though.... i know one thing is for sure, i owe my parents a LOT of dough... -Zach

great site man, i plan on learning flash eventually to incorporate it into my site, it really brings it to that next level of professionalism you know? great job man, i cant wait to start doing some of that myself, maybe when i get done painting my car:cheeky: -Zach

BTW- Awesome sound system dude, i cant wait to get around to putting a full system in my car, but im going to try my luck at carbon fiber forming and ill be filling in the "heater control panel" with my own creation. so hopefully ill have plenty of space for the head unit, lots of speakers and amps and crossovers and all the things that really help make the car experience complete and enjoyable

hey man, i got me some from MSA and i tried them on my just primed headlight buckets and they fit well. i think they will do even better now that i have them painted. still some more work to do before i can put them on though... cant wait to see the finished look, my car will be yellow with blacked out chrome and windows so chrome trim around the buckets wouldnt work out for me... go with the clear ones from MSA, i think VB sells the exact same ones, probly same price, doesnt really matter.... -ZAch

hey i live in washington, only a few hours from vancouver, i dont mean to seem like a stocker or anything, BUT I WANNA GO CHECK OUT THAT CAR!!! , ill definately have to make a trip of it before i start with my swap. very awesome car, beautiful paint. -Zach
