wheee!

It all comes off eventually.... you may need several methods but it will come!

Arrrrgh.

So maybe I should just stick with the stock axles... just don't like using 40 year old parts when a better option exists for a reasonable price. More work replacing those u-joints than it's worth! ... or not...

Starting to make more sense now.... I see the combo sets (TTT, Silvermine, etc) being sold for hi performance cars, but I am not interested in spending $800 + for a NA L28 setup...

I searched but found no clear answers to my question of what parts I need to upgrade my R200 3.90 diff to a CV axle setup on my 280Z. I know that I can get the CV flange adapter from zcardepot to bolt the CV's to the stub axles, but I am getting conflicting info on which CV axles I need. I believe that one side is longer than the other but some parts sites are listing them as universal? Do I need the 280ZX CV's or the 300ZX Turbo axles? The ad below indicates a single CV axle for both sides... http://www.ebay.com/itm/221481941600?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Thoughts?

What you make will be superior no doubt....

Datsun spirit makes these... I'm thinking you can make your's to look similar? Heavier material maybe?

members rossiz and CDL1542 both have Futofab bumpers.... maybe they can chime in?

I tried that too but the scraper worked better in the end. Too many creases and folds to work with.

Took me about 4 hours start to finish to remove mine with a steel scraper. Exactly like rossiz said, some was easy, other parts hard. Determination and elbow grease does it! And it's worth doing. I found cancer under some perfect looking sections...

I believe they are set up for each car differently. For the price difference I will be ordering a new set of 280 coilovers later this year. Not worth taking chances.

It's the spindle assy tube diameter that changes I believe. The 280 is a bigger diameter. The ones you have are too skinny for 280's

so sad they are not for the 280....

errrr..Chas, I really don't need those bumper mounts at all... in fact, throw them away. I'll send you the address on where to throw them...

It's usually the last part you need in any given assembly...

Actually, your car sounds like most of the one I have seen lately.... Salvageable but still a lot of work..

It really sucks.... The shippers in the States like it cuz they ship cheap and local to Kentucky and then someone else deals with all the rest of the details of getting it here. The downside is we pay twice or more than what we would pay if was shipped via USPS... The mandatory "Duty" fee is bogus as it is just a percentage of the total price of the item. Then like you said, there is absolutlely no tracking other than when to expect your parcel. I heard if you add a PO to you address, the global shipping option should not pop up (Global Shipping does not do PO Boxes) Change your ebay shipping address to "PO 22 Anywhere Street" and it should drop the Global Shipping as a default on your items in the shipping info area.

Sold... where can I send payment? Seriously though, bundle these with a set of rear 240Z bumper mounting tabs for the 280 crowd and you will have a great product! I will be your first customer!

The product looks amazing and will probably meet or exceed your expectations.... Just a little pricey IMHO....

Full electrical diagrams are available for downoad on the forum. Just make sure you get the right year... looks like a 78?

Spun the chassis tonight. Sitting 90 degrees on the passenger side. Discovered a lot of spots I missed from the last time I was vertical... Oh well. Keep on blasting...

:crying:

It is a Canadian company selling in American dollars.... most businesses do that now to make extra profit... I would offer him less as he is now making 30% more than he did 6 months ago by selling at US prices and having Cdn costs.... my two cents anyways...

I like the idea of reusing the bumper shock mount as the new 240 bumper mount. Mainly because the factory designed that as an impact zone. I like the looks of tour new plate that incorporates a tow hook mount too. If the two could be combined (a bumper mount and tow hook mount) using the bumper shock mount location you are using now, that would be a win win!

For the difference it would make its not worth it. I can make my own... Or fix these.
