Hey how you doing guys. It’s been a long time since I been on here. I lost my password and kind of forgot about this thread lol but the Z has most definitely came a long way since the last time posted ahaha. Check it out and follow me on Instagram @jooosse280 for more pics
wassup guys. have been on here on a while been busy with work but the Z has had some major upgardes. hope you guys enjoy let me know what you think. will try to post better pics sometime this week when she is all cleaned up.
- Bye Bye Z - New Motor - Dont Drink and Drive - Its not worth it - Old Block - Old Block - Old Motor
so after waiting patiently i found a motor for my Z. Decided to stick the f54 block with p79 head. stronger than my old setup well anyways we just swapped the motors a cranked up the first try! but was slacking on the power when you gave it gas like if it was getting gas so bought a new fuel pump threw that in and its running GREAT now. post pics soon
update so some not so good news happened last week i cracked the block while on the freeway. dont really know why/how just remeber hearing a popping noise then next thing smokes everywhere i pull over to check it out then i see a one big hole next to a quarter size hole on the block. well i found a block for sale f54 dont really know to much about that stuff but i was thinking about just doing a complete rebuild but i want to put triple Mikuni(they sound so nice). Does anybody have any clue on how much it would be? i was guessing like 2500 at the most.
yea those are it. The ride isn't really all that smooth but it it does the job to get the car low. I dropped my Z about 6in. Going to replace the bushings and shocks next
was looking at that site i like the front air dam but yea i used lowering spring with coil sleeves so i can adjust the height of the car. Looks good but not the most comfortable ride but i guess you get use to it
Thanks bro means a lot. Well the Z is pretty much stock. The only real big upgrades i have really done is straight pipe, lowering springs with coil sleeves, and rims 16x10 all around. Next mod is going to be new bushing, shocks, strut bars trying to tackle the suspension first so i can have a smooth ride(its bouncy). Then comes the tough decision V8 or Turbo just dont know . The interior maybe the last thing. The history of the Z dont really know that much about except the i guy bought had it sitting around for 6yrs in the garage right next to his 73 240z fully restored with RB26. I might raise the car 2in and throw on some bigger tires i got stuck in my driveway couple days ago lmao! Got big plans for the Z keep i'll keep you guys up to date with the build.
back again with Z so its almost ready for paint just need to finish off the off the hatch door have to remove the windshield have a little bit of rust. does anybody where to buy fender flares or ducktail wing? so here is my progress post better pics soon (just ignore that ugly van)
Hey wassup Z fans/owners. I recently bought a 76 280z wasn't really in the greatest condition but i love it. Its came a very LONG way and still a lot more to come. Here are some before and after pics. wish i had more before pics but i broke my old phone and only managed to fine these but here is this beast. Let me know what you think
Oh 76 280z and I'm using lowering springs and the back was pretty easy just unscrew all bolts you see then etc. But thanks I got the front off was a challenge but I got it just need the pass side.
So I am lowering the Z already got the back done just need help removing the front i don't know what exactly to take off the back was easy just bolts that were really tight. Any help/advice Post pics soon

I want to lower it more than 2in maybe double the rims I got are 16x10 all around tires 195x50 kind of small but at the price i got them I ain't complaining will get brand new bigger tires but thats later on tho. Rbates how much did that run you and I heard it was pain in that arse to install
wassup guys I got a question about lowering the Z. Which way would be better to go coilovers or bags. The only coilovers I was able to find were KSport and Ground Control. both coil overs require weld on and the ground control require new struts and some other things. They both come out close to $1g and im assueming bags will cost more
The switch has two cables one always has power at all times and the other only gets power when the pedal is pushed down. I think their might be a broken cable or another bad connection after the brake pedal switch
Okay never mine my brake lights still don't work all my other lights work but still no brake lights. I just replaced the brake sensors and still no brakes. The sensor is getting power
So i got the lights to work turns out it was a bad connection two cables were touching and blew all my bulbs out just now my passenger hid doesn't want to turn on but thanks for all help
the fusible links are getting power to
I checked them and they are getting power. Just to make sure those are the fuses under the glove box? Someone told me their is another set of fuses under the hood somewhere
okay i replaced the starter cause it went out. I had to push start my car for 2 week straight the struggle . 1) disconnected battery 2) removed starter 3) installed new starter 4) connected battery 5) car turned on like a champ! that's when i tried to turn on lights and noticed none of the lights turned on. So i decided to change all the old fuses with new fuses. (none of the old fuses were blown just dirty looking)
okay i replaced the cause it went out. I had to push start my car for 2 week straight the struggle . 1) disconnected battery 2)
