Arne, Congratualtions on your weekend of progress. that 240Z is really coming along nicely. Not many follow your path of returning the car to its original state with L24 in the engine bay. As for the exhaust continue to shop around. The shop I use for my Z exhaust work (Phil's Custom Exhaust Works in Clinton, Md.) just recently completed a system for my '77 280Z. It's 2.25" in diameter coupled to a Magnaflow muffler with a chrome single tip which replicates the factory look. It was completely welded from the head pipe all the way back. The complete system took about two and a half hours and cost $225 including the $70 for the muffler. It sounds and looks great. The fun part is standing in the shop and listening to Phil grouse about how Z cars rust everywhere and how they would be so much better with a V8 under the hood. Phil is a hot rod guy and doesn't understand the Z car. Good luck.

Surprise.....it's an R180 fitted from the factory for this special base model 280ZX. No wonder the factory clutch had to be returned ...twice! It's an old Datsun 810 clutch part number! Now that the diff. cover has been scrubbed it's pretty shiny. -

This is the kiss of death for all S130's! When the pick up points start to go it is time for some welding work quickly. Damn these S130's! -
