I'll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks!

I need to replace the NLA Rear Strut Mount Insulators on my 1978 280Z. If anyone has them in good shape I'd love to buy them. Thanks all, Dave

Here's the link for a good discussion on the topic:

I installed Zpowersteering (http://zpowersteering.com/). Took a full day to install and had to fabricate a bracket to hold it in place (these units are heavy) but it works very well and is completely silent and seamless. You have a rheostat control knob to regulate the amount of assist. It does not adjust automatically according to speed like the other unit mentioned. The topic has been discussed here a couple of times. If you search you will find detailed info.

According to Wikipedia: While the term was first used during the marketing campaign for the 1974 Imperial LeBaron, it is usually associated with the marketing campaign for the 1975 Cordoba and that campaign's celebrity spokesperson, Ricardo Montalban, who described "the thickly-cushioned luxury of seats available even in soft Corinthian leather".[2][3] Despite the exotic origin suggested by the name "Corinthian leather", much of the leather used in Chrysler vehicles during the era originated from a supplier located outside Newark, New Jersey.[4]

Looks very nice BUT is it "fine Corinthian leather"?

Great job on the wire routing. Are the wire holders fixed onto the valve cover somehow?

IMO the S30 line is the best Datsun/Nissan has ever designed. I'm into creature comforts and believe the last year production cars of a certain line are the utmost expression and refinement of that specific model. Since most buyers go for the early S30s, the law of supply and demand will allow you to buy a 280Z for less money than a similar condition 240Z. You'll spend less money and end up with the a car whose "bugs were worked out" by Nissan (great AC, reliable EFI, decent electronics, good suspension, decent wipers, etc.) and can be daily drivers without any sacrifice AND still enjoy those gorgeous lines. Eventually all S30s in comparable condition will have similar value so take advantage of the bargain, less respected 280s at this time. Other than the extreme purists, most people won't care if you're driving a 240, 260 or 280. They will just get a kick from seeing an S30 on the road and congratulate you. PS: I hope I don't offend any of the forum friends.

Beautiful car! Excellent acquisition.

Of course you know we need to see pictures

Well done Jerry. Looks great!
