Any updates?
-
Ah....this brings back memories.
-
Excellent work! Thats going to look amazing.
-
Haha, yeah its definitely slowed down. Ive been enjoying taking it out on cruises this summer. I had to replace the U joints in the half shafts, so that took a while. Next week it will be going on the dyno to get some final tuning done. I have some plans for this winter......stay tuned.
-
Thank you. Not much gurgling or popping, maybe a little while decelerating. As far as torque goes, not a whole lot around 3k but between 4-5k.....OH BABY!
-
Yeah im feeling the same way. I think the black looks good, but just not quite right. Like it looks "cheaper" or something. (probably because it is). Thats a great idea with the vinyl I may try that
-
Yeah I feel that the black takes away from the classic look,but it does look nice with the black wheels
-
So my 280Z has the black fiberglass bumpers on her now but I've been contemplating getting some chrome bumpers but cant decide. What do you guys think?
-
Probably not, but at this point i'm not too worried about it.
-
Not sure, I had them powder coated. Maybe it happened then? Its very slight and I cant feel it while driving.
-
Yep brand new Konigs. I swapped with the front wheel and it was fine. Oh well, I was thinking of getting new wheels anyway. I would rather it be the wheel than the hub.
-
The wobble ended up being an "out of round" wheel.
-
New bushings - car seems to slide back & forth - bumps, shifting

Check the strut mounts up top, they might be loose. This reminds me of a time when I took my 4runner in for service because of some random "thumps". I told them " i think its the u joints in the driveshaft", they ended up replacing the rack and pinion instead. It was way worse when I picked it up. All the bolts were loose and some were missing. It ended up being the U joints. -
Left it off for now, I kinda like the way it looks without it
-
Sweet, only a couple miles away
-
Yeah I noticed that as well. I'm hoping it's just the raised lettering on the tire. I'm getting an alignment this week and I'll get it checked out
-
I finally got a decent video camera. A Sony Action Cam. Took the Z out for a stroll, check it out.
-
I have the 4kg rear and 5kg front which I believe is the lowest spring rate they have available. Plus my dampening is all the way down
-
Perrty!
-
Overall I think they're great. The ride is nice and tight. Its a lot more firm than a set of Eibach lowering springs. Not that its uncomfortable or harsh...really the only time I feel it is when I hit a pothole or something. That could be the low profile tires too. I wouldn't do any higher of a spring rate unless it was a track car.

I just wanted to close out this build thread with a huge Thank you to all the members here that helped and inspired me to get through this project. I've seen a lot of these build threads start out strong and end up with the owner selling the car or losing interest, and believe me, I was almost there a couple times. But everytime I had an issue, there was someone here willing to lend a helpful hand. I will still be on this forum checking out everyone's projects and post new things that I've changed or added to my Z but I would say mines pretty much complete. Thanks again! -Matt

Thanks! Im working on the GoPro.

Some other highlights of the show
-
I went to my first car show today, and got 1st place in the Datsun/Nissan class! Feeling pretty happy.
-
Hats off to you my friend!
