S30 vs Z32 for first project car?
Considering the primary factor here being your limited garage space and need to park a car beside your project, I would vote for a nice Z32 in good condition that needs little to no work at the moment. Drive it until you need to do any major work, then hopefully you will have found either a bigger place to work on it or a local shop to help. Attempting an S30 restoration in a two car garage that is half occupied is a great way for someone else to pick up your project for cheap when you give up.... read my thread, it will be a sobering process.

Complete roof R&R
Usually it is due to the sunroofs being cut in... no one wants a sunroof!

Complete roof R&R
No, I meant the entire roof section being cut into the A pillars back to the hatch.

@ConVerTT is also going to have to go through this process with his low VIN 240... maybe he has a plan on this too?

1976 280Z Restoration Project
Having never experienced the joy of driving these cars, I am unsure as to what to expect from the gas smell. It may be present or may not... The tank evap unit will be removed and the hoses recirc'd back in the rear quarter. The existing vapour return line is theoretically a feed to the tank. It will still have some fumes, but would they present a problem so far forward? I don't know. It is an easy fix at the rear if I remove it. Even if I vent in the rear of the car, under the body let's say, I may not remove the return line that I installed. The filter may end up being window dressing serving no real purpose.

Inner Tie Rod Alternatives for Z
As I understand it, the left hand thread side is unobtanium and you need to replace with the newer right right style o inner and outer. I used this as an excuse to get Techno Toy Tuning outers and newer right right inners.

I was planning on a retro sound unit but I am still not 100% decided. Any USB port will deliver 5v or it is not USB. Part of being a standard is to, well maintain a standard! I am also planning on discreetly including a USB printer style port that interfaces with the Haltech ECU. That way I can plug a laptop in without having to have access to the ECU.
