I agree on vintage connections! Has the car been in a corrosive environment? Maybe near the coast?

My fronts are close like that. Maybe slightly closer. I don't bottom out often but enough that it needs fixing

Fun cars!

I believe the smog issue in CA has recently changed. The 280z is more complicated but I know people who prefer it after experiencing both. It is heavier. It has better ventilation controls I believe and is already setup for EFI even if you go aftermarket

No, I found it very simple. I really need to spend some time on a dyno to get the most out of it but will probably wait until I build a new motor

I don't know the numbers and the boxes are gone. I bought them new as a set probably ten years ago. Struts are new Tokikos too. It was evidently a problem. A number of threads on HybridZ about it

Keep an eye on the BaT thread for possibilities

With the car on the ground how much space is there between the front spring coil windings? I have red tokicos and have less than 1" of travel before I have coil bind

You could rule out in tank problems by rigging up a temporary fuel source with return lines

Yes, I was going to suggest bump steer. Do you have bump steer spacers? Can you add some?

How would the ducktail affect exhaust fumes being drawn into the interior?

I am running one. I like it. Admittedly I only have a 100 miles on mine though. Ali has a good many miles on his

I would agree. My car has new factory bushings and the rear alignment was perfect. No need for camber adjustment

Here is the rear kit https://www.thezstore.com/product/704/camber-adjustment-kit-rear-70-78-240z-260z-280z I have a set of these in my shop. I ran them on my first z because the toe in was so messed up. They require a thin wrench to adjust
