1975 280z base brake booster
http://arizonabrake.com/ i recently tore my booster apart (72 z) and was surprised to find that the seal was a bendix brand. i just happened to have a new one that was identical to the one i removed. iirc, there are 2 sizes and i ordered them both to make sure i got the right one.

rear disc brake conversion
it may have been there, but i dont recall having the option. maybe the package was too heavy for the usps. it was just over 70 pounds. i did get front rotors and a bearing kit as well

rear disc brake conversion
one thing i forgot to mention. the vendor says that you need 15" wheels. from what i can see, the 14x6 wheels will work but the stick on type weights will probably hit the caliper. i will try to post some pics

sweatys rebuild
so, i now have working brakes after the rear conversion and a couple of leak repairs everything is good! all new calipers, bearings and rotors. i have new cable and stops for the parking brake cable on the way, so i hope to have that done next week. then i can get the diff and short shafts back in. that should be the end of the suspension. next up: new wiring harness

1972 240Z restomod
im going to re-neg my previous post after looking at it again, what i did was re-wire so 12v runs to the switch, through the resistor, through the motor and then to ground. iirc, the factory used the switch to direct the ground.

that id plate looks too nice for its age

rear disc brake conversion
sorry for taking so long to give out the details. i will try to keep this short and sweet. my first impression is this the parts are fine, except for the rebuilt calipers (south of our border) one was missing the parking brake end bracket. that cost me another $5 plus time going to the wrecking yard and finding and pulling it. everything fits and works. the vendor not so good instructions are non-existant the flex hoses look new, but the date stamp on the is over 20 years old (see pic) i have no idea what these parts are if i need to replace one of them, what did they come from? they sent the parts fed-ex, signature required. that would have been nice to know in advance. it ended up costing me another $160 for my wife to stay home to sign for the delivery because of lost work. FED-EX SUCKS!!!!!! probably the biggest thing...............after spending $600+, the there wasnt even a thank you for your purchase, just a receipt.

im going to throw in my 2 cents worth, gained from here http://www.autobody101.com/forums/ and from experience gained from just painting my car. SLOW DOWN! if you want it to look good SLOW DOWN. if you are just doing a flip, then by all means go for it. 600 is too smooth (IMO) for proper adhesion. do a little reading before spending a lot of money on paint. my 2 cents worth

Flaw detection
the short answer is no. leave the guidecoat, fill with whatever you are using and sand. repeat if necessary. also, buy yourself one of those el-cheapo 4 foot florescent lights that you can lay on the floor and move around as needed. they help a lot.
