Struts are larger diameter on 280zs. These may be too large for your stock strut tubes. IDK

I don't know if what Zed found is the system I know of but there is a way to search for a VIN to make sure it hasn't been reported stolen. It's not too hard to register a car here if it's 30yrs old Plus.

All good questions. I don't remember there being an engine picture but the VIN indicates it should be a turbo. I am unsure if all the turbo cars got LSD's in that year range

If you decide not to pursue this car PM me. I would be interested in looking at it

About the only thing you'll find in that range is a parts car. I have seen some really basket cases bring more than that lately. Good luck

Too far away for me but someone might be closer that has an interest

I have a vlsd out of a Shiro and a CLSD. You are correct. The swap is not a problem as long as you have the Shiro half shafts. They are very different on the differential end. I dont know how to verify on the Shiro or not. The wheels and the white paint look like it. The diff should have a small VLSD tag on one of the cover bolts

They tend to move some when they cross the block. Sometimes surprisingly so

I am not positive this car will have it because it's automatic but it is apparently a turbo according to the VIN https://www.copart.com/lot/23979129

The car sold. Did anyone see what it actually went for? I wasn't able to watch it.

WooHoo!

It's got a little crack So is this coming up now because replacements are becoming available

That seems like a good deal

At $1250 it will end up being $1500 with all the fees tacked on

I don't believe they would make these numbers on BaT

I priced it. They are about $150. I can almost buy a new hat for that! I watched a you tube video where he got into the ADF and the 3v batteries are evidently soldered in. He reworked it but it still didn't fix his helmet. I would try to replace the batteries but don't want to waste my time. I am wondering if it's in the switch. I wonder if I could come up with a way to bypass the switch. I suspect it is a rheostat

My batteries are not designed to be replaced.

My Viking 1840 series auto dimming helmet decided to not work today. Any ideas on the best way to try to diagnose it? @Captain Obvious @grannyknot

RTV it is then. Any ideas on thread sealant or not?

I did some searching on this a while back. I have a sway bar thread. I settled on the ST sway bars. I think they are the cleanest mounting system with good reviews.

What is the recommended sealer for the case halves? I thought about aviation gasket maker. the brown sticky stuff. Also should the plugs get a sealer? What kind?

That is correct. Gland nut and corrosion. I would heat the whole tube then add some penetrating oil. You will be hard pressed to damage the strut with MAP gas.

7 feet!! That's serious snow

I agree, it was well executed. Just a little surprising for a hybrid car

Be safe and stay warm if you're in the North East @Captain Obvious Can't get the member map to work ?
