    The few bushings i need are in my cellar! my suspension bushings are (see Pic's above.. ) in good condition, also are the new suspension arm bushings..

    Here some pic's from the "old" suspension-arm, it clearly did not have any anti-rust treatment.

    I wouldn't bet... Thanks for the reply, but don't bother, if the old brakedisk does not fit , it's simple, i have to get me a new set!

    I've got a question.. here in europe a 280zx has 2 different types of brakepads and cylinders in the rear, one till 1980-81.. and one after... round that time.. i had a bad rear wheel suspension arm so had to get me a good one, the brakecylinder mount is different so i had to have those aswell!! my question is there difference in brakerotor over the years on the rear of a 280zx? much apriciated! I've got a as new set arms and brakeparts now from the latest type 280zx eurostyle.. (1982-83)

    @Captain Obvious I have the same one in my 240z.. were can i get or see the better one? With my last service (valve clearance check) these tubes were OK. Should i replace it? (When i'm ready with my 280zx this 240z get a restauration or is sold i'm still not shure what it will be..)

    The oil ring has a play of 0.3 till 0.9 mm maybe he mixed up top with oilring ring gap...
  9. dutchzcarguy
    yeap... and 0.219 can never be the average of 0.249- 0.332 0.29 is more in the range.. also the point on the wrong spot hey...
  10. dutchzcarguy
    Yes, can be in de States..don't forget that the 260z was for sale in europe till 1978! There was no 280z overhere! I know of a 1979! 260z.. it was a car that was in a dealer's showroom for a long time and sold in 1979.. so in our books (Year of putting it on the road with a licenceplate..) it's a 1979 car. Here in europe the 280zx was the car that came after the 260z.. I Always thought the 280zx and 300zx z31 were the black sheeps... But they are also starting to get more expensive.
  11. dutchzcarguy

    It's glass realy fine, and black.. after a day drying you can swipe it up and use again.. You see the driveway under those 4 wheels.??. that pic is made after the glass blasting.. no extra cleaning was neccessary What count's is the end result.. I use that machine only this way ones a year or so.. you can't have all the tools..
  16. dutchzcarguy
    I use a high pressure cleaner.. with a special part on top that has a special nozzle and a hoze that suckes sand or glass or any ... I do this on my drive, only need a plastic (big) sheet.. works very well.. If i used sand i let it dry and i can brush it all away after a few days.. haha.. Glass is also not difficult, a day and you can brush it together and filter and use again.. Before.. after.. after a ground and silver paint.. ready.. 4 on a row.. looks a mess but is easy to clean.. just a sheet of (garden)pond-rubber.. for not damaging the drive.. The bag of glass is behind the fence. not to get wet.. Very important that it stay's dry otherwise the sucktion stops.. The high pressure pump is around 130 bar.. but the nozzle hole of the sandblaster is bigger so i think the pressure is around 30-40 bar when it hits the surface of the alu- wheels.

    Yeah.. all i see is polyurethane.. don't like them.. cheap aftermarket .. I'm also looking for the genuin NISSAN rubber but so far nothing interesting seen.. lukely i have a lot of rubbers saved in the last years for my '79 rebuild.. But a complete set would be a nice thing.
  18. dutchzcarguy
    Hihi.. yes it was very clever of Nissan/Datsun... one (size) fits all!!
  19. dutchzcarguy
    Yeah... TORCO IS JUST THE LAST PART OF nissanmoTORCO.LTD... hihi...

    Welkom Phentree, why should it be a E31? There were early cars with an E88 head.. for all i know..
  21. dutchzcarguy
    Today i got almost 400 pictures (!!) of the 280zx body, doors, hood, front wings, hatch... and so on .. sanded to the metall, and already the lower parts in bodyshoot.. (anti stonechip..) ! These were made in the past 1-2 year.. by my painter. (and welder.. because he liked to do it himself not that i can't weld..) There were just a few spots that needed some welding on this car. Most work was around the front window, some *&%$#^%... had put in a new front window glass without preparing it in a good way!.. Those edges were very rusty!! But it's all taken care of.. (sorry pic's are on an other laptop.. you see some later..)

    My car has 119000km on the clock (only 74000 Mls!) and the bushings are reasonable.. But i will put new ones in in the near future.. With my 240z i used all Original nissan rubber.. never used those hard poly bushings.. i don't want those! Much to stiff.. I've seen a poly bushing go very wrong in a 300zx suspension! The suspension had suffered a crack.. I don't race these cars on a track so to me a comfy ride is what i prefer..
  23. dutchzcarguy
    Finally.... after month's of other work my painter is going to work on my 280zx !! I'm realy curious how it's gona get.. i'll keep you all informed, hope to make some pic's soon!

    I ordered and received the new carpet few month's ago and it looks good.. we will see if it fits in a month.. or 2... It feels and looks like the Original stuff, so that's good! It's just a pitty that there is no new rectangular piece of carpet for the trunkcover! Now i have no new carpet there...
  25. dutchzcarguy
    A very nice NON-T-bar car! and happy to hear (finally!!) that you also, like me, like the 2+2 version for it's shape! Also the bigger trunk.. ME LIKE !! hihi.... I'm restoring a 280zx 1979, an euro first edition with the partial metal bumpers (stainless steel.) .. It's getting his all new coat of paint (from metall up) at the moment! It is going to be blue. My interior is almost the same like yours.. Have fun with it! Mart
