My Datsun 280Z "Rustoration"
When my Z gets back from being welded up, I'll start a page with pics too. I've been inspired to keep going by this thread, and maybe I can pass that along. I'll be spending a lot more time and a lot less money. The quantity of the former is dictated by the lack of the latter.

Hatch Top Plate Needed
I have a pro doing the install, but I'll pass it along. Getting closer to a solid body every time I get paid...

Hatch Top Plate Needed
Atta boy, site. Saved me money, and I was able to use PayPal, which meant in this rare circumstance, my car paid for itself!

Hatch Top Plate Needed
Hi all - I've looked on motorsport auto, and they have the panel, but I'd be a fool if I didn't ask here too. It is that top plate that sits above the taillights, the latch goes through it. Mine is roached. Thanks all! Curtis

Front Strut Assembly Question
If anyone is looking for used struts, I have a full set pulled off a donor car. Will sell the whole set for less than 500.

E31 Head For Sale
OK. I was working on the manifolds last night they are loose, but still attached. I'll set it aside for you. I am moving in late May - if you can't get here before I move, lets be sure to keep in contact, so I can let you know where I am. It should be in the same general area of north Atlanta.

E31 Head For Sale
OK, I think I have it figured. My email is Curtis.eggleston@hcaga.org That should let you pay me. It has the exhaust and intake manifolds still bolted to it. Do you want them too? I can include them in the price - less work for me.

E31 Head For Sale
Sounds good. I do have Paypal, but I have no idea how to receive money from it. If you can walk me through, we can do it just about anytime at all.

E31 Head For Sale
I'll post pics soon, but this is a dirty, untested head that I bought years ago, presented to me as good. I can go clean it and do the big valve job, etc, but I'd rather just sell it. 150.00 takes it. Thanks Curtis

Trip Odometer Reset Cable
I have my dash out right now, trying to source some replacement gauges. After reading this, you can bet I'll reroute that cable when I put the dash back in...

A Question For The Engine Gurus
I don't think you'll notice as large a difference in the L6 as you might in a V8, simply because you have no opposing masses.
-
A Question For The Engine Gurus
I've done engines with replaced pistons. Just have a machine shop balance them as a set. Shouldn't cost more than 100.00, and all will be well. Please keep in mind, since this is an L motor, the concerns and worries of balancing just aren't as worrisome as a V motor, where you have mass working on opposing planes. Everything is, well, in the same line.

A Question For The Engine Gurus
The engines were individually balanced, cranks drilled out and rod/piston sets matched. The flywheel and front crank pulley are individually balanced as well.
-
A Question For The Engine Gurus
I agree with siteunseen. This is a factory-balanced engine, which is the biggest reason you'll want to keep them all in the same order. I don't think bore has as much to do with it as weight balance.

Front Cover/dizzy Hold-Down
No joy in finding the intermediate plate. Will happily pay for one if anyone has. Hopefully north Georgia area?

My Datsun 280Z "Rustoration"
I have that same box, plus two others, in that same sale at Christmas. Another reason to love my wife! I've just gone through your whole resto- great work - I am about 10% on the way to where you are headed, and doing it much worse...

Replacement Gauges
Can anyone recommend a shop that sells replacement gauges? I've looked at autometer, but I didn't know if someone out there sold a set specific for the Z. Thanks!
