Hey I was watching the movie "Class" the other day and in the very first scene where Andrew McCartney is boarding a bus bound for his new prep school, You can see a nice orange 280Z parked in the bus depot parking lot! This movie was made in 1983 and stars McCartney and Rob Lowe and Jacqueline Bisset. Anyone else see Z's prominent in Movies??? Another one that comes to my mind is in the movie "Capricorn One" starring Elliot Gould and James Brolin, Karen Black's chrachter drives a nice 1977 or 78 280!

Hi EScanlon! Thanks for the info. I think I will just polish them up with a polishing kit and use some elbow grease. They dont look too oxidized to me and I dont believe they have any kind of coat on them. You said you used some gold Rustoleum. I wonder if they make my color. It's #510 Sky Blue Metallic. I know it was painted at Maaco (ack!, i know) by the PO so I wonder if they would sell me a batch of that if i go down there and ask. Or i will try to find it in rustoleum. thanks, Nick

Hi! I have these on all four and I really want to hang on to them. I believe they came with the car but I'm not sure and the PO wasnt either. First does any one know if these were dealer installed? and Second: Should I paint these the same color as the body or should i stay black. Also, where could i go to have these polished up? We have some wheel and tire places but would a machine shop be better? I'd appreciate any and all suggestions, comments Nick

I just had mine done and they squeeeel too but only after driving a few miles. When i had my 240z they squeeled too but after a 1,000 miles or so they settled in and stopped making noise! go figure. anyway, i'm not sweating the squeals until March!

For my 280z 1) Fix oil leak, new gasket needed 2) new muffler, dynomax maybe 3) finish restoring interior-- center console and seats redone 4) refinish wheels, original slotted mags 5) get new radio and get antenna working!

Hello there, Well I need to replace my front rack steering bushings and I want to use the urethane bushings from MSA. I have a 280z which is a 1978. My question is how do I go about doing this? I can see them from under the hood but i cant see them from under the car. Do i just need to jack up the car and access the bolts that way or do I need to go through the engine bay? I think I can just tear out the hold ones and then take off the bolts to install them. Any stepbystep instructions woudl be greatly appreciated! Nick
