Watched the whole video. That was awesome. Thanks for the link.

Just curious, OJ, why not drive your Z to storage instead of the expense of putting it on a flatbed? Your Fiat made it ok. Here in New Jersey as long as the roads are salt free, I'm taking my ride out and enjoying the weather.

That ebay car is the Zhette! Why? I agree with the sound of the L6. This one's and L31 with triple webers somewhere in Sweden and its kind of foggy out.

You can check out this link and see response #2. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/thread42652.html I had this happen on a 72Z I had where one of the cam oilers (see pic) holes was plugged up with sludge and the cam lobe was not getting oil and caused the grinding noise. The cam oiler shoots oil on the cam lobe and keeps it lubricated. I removed the head cover and I took a paper clip and removed the sludge from the cam rail oiler hole and that cured the problem. You have a 280Z but it should be the same design. Good luck.

I had the same problem. Took the booster off of the car and shook it and the reaction disk fell to the ground. Super glued it in place and now my car stops perfectly. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/69706-reaction-disk-pictures-and-walkthrough/

Good luck with the brake booster. How about some videos of the LS1 running in that 72.

Here's a nice write up on the problem and a fix for it. I had the same thing happen to me a couple times. http://xenons30.com/starterrelay.html

You need the 15/16 brake master cylinder from a 79-81 280zx. RAYBESTOS Part # MC39277-You can get them for approximately $115-$130.00 and not the $425.00 this guy wants. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-240z-Brake-Master-Cylinder-4-Wheel-Disc-NEW-RARE-/370528489441?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5645380fe1&vxp=mtr Here's a write up on the conversion. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/39435-help-what-brake-options-are-available-for-s30-z-cars/

Nissan Fairlady Z432 Toyota 2000gt Mazda Cosmo Honda S800 Just got my copy of Automobile magazine and read this article. I found the online article. Awesome cars with different approaches with their engines. The Mazda with the rotary, the Honda with the one carburetor per cylinder and the awesome Fairlady and 2000gt. http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/driven/1203_at_the_dawn_of_the_rising_sun/index.html

Alfa 8C. One of the best sounding V8s out there. General Lee on an Alfa. Had to look a little closer to see the flag.

Here's my setup. Tokico 1" drop springs and Tokico struts. 15 inch American Ansen wheels and Michelin 205/60/15s Pilot Exalto AS. Bought the car with the setup. Ride is a little bouncy but not too bad.

Thanks for starting this thread EvZ! I'm having the same problem described in the thread that spitz17 posted. This problem is really bothering me do to it being a safety issue. The guy I bought the car from rebuilt just about everything and pointed out the problem with the brakes. He installed the 4 piston upgrade along with a new 73 master cylinder. When I push on the brakes, the pedal doesn't have any feel to it until approx. 1/2 of the way and then the brakes grab. If you push too hard the 4 piston calipers want to push your head through the windshield. I thought the problem was that I needed the upgraded ZX master (79-81) ,which I bought but haven't installed yet. Info I found on this thread. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php?showtopic=38499 I'll look into the reaction disc and let you know what I find. Thanks for the valuable info spitz17 , blue and zcurves. Let us know what you find EvZ.
