If you don’t like reading and are more visual there are atleast 20 YouTube videos that show this process. I made this even easier How to

Maybe you should start a build thread instead of a new forrum post for each random question it is helpful to have it all in one place then it’s easy to reference.

I would fix the rust first just saying if you try to start your car in it’s current state it might shake apart

This picture is really concerning also if that area where the door hinges and lower door rail are is not perfectly straight your door will never line up and that’s super structural to the car and it’s kinda just missing not sure if it’s the picture but that’s a mess

It’s possible but that’s going to be a ton of work I would almost just cut that entire part out and then graft on the donor. Basically I would cut out the entire yellow area in my picture and then down far enough into the firewall and in straight lines to make welding in a new piece easier. Are you good with a welder?

If you continue searching this forum you will see it has been covered before . You can search this forum using google also. It’s ok just be nice and you will get more help. You are new here and you have been getting into it with people but just chill out By the way, I got my gasket at Z Car Depot. https://zcardepot.com/products/power-brake-booster-gasket-240z-70-73?_pos=1&_sid=a87c129e3&_ss=r And it worked great on my new 8.5" booster for my 240Z with this adapter (the one I mentioned above). https://zcardepot.com/products/power-brake-booster-7-240z-70-73-new?variant=29688152359025&currency=USD&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=google+shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQiA0MD_BRCTARIsADXoopa0Kt5nGMc-Hi_GfRzjOkysLppxy9-0NLqie2PblZqFrMIS1kUwYOgaAr3dEALw_wcB

Embarrassed? You can’t find parts at rock auto I gave you a link that lists tons of parts for a 280z from rock auto.

Did you read what I initially wrote? wow lots of anger today.. you know how to use the internet it seems.. good luck to you

did you search here https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/nissan,1978,280z

Probably just rebuilt the calipers too many times. I shaved them down and now there is no rubbing

Yes they are stamped s12w on them I purchased the following from rock auto. Are these the right rotors? 1989 Toyota 4Runner v6 calipers nugeon 9701550A (97-01550A) and 9701550B (97-01550B) and 1984 NISSAN 300ZX 3.0L V6 DYNAMIC FRICTION 60067074(600-67074)

I already pulled one pin came out like butter! Thanks Jeff, tomorrow the other one will be coming out

Anyone still making a tool? I contacted zcardepot and they are not sure when they will be in stock again. I also posted on hybridz but no replies yet.

Thank you that worked I took a flap disk to it and now I got rim clearance. Now my other clearance issue is the rotor to caliper. It’s equally tight on both sides should I file the caliper down slightly to get a little wiggle room. It even rubs a tiny bit on the caliper.

Anyone have to shave down the caliper fins? I have 15x7 konig rewind and the fin on those calipers are rubbing. I have 1989 Toyota 4Runner v6 calipers nugeon 9701550A (97-01550A) and 9701550B (97-01550B)

Wow I thought I have seen it all

How do you test for leaks before Freon?

I always find the vin font funny it’s so non standard almost whimsical with curves.. sorry I like fonts

I found a 1978 penny in my seat retractor handle cover it was jammed in there and looked almost new. It was an exciting time for me

Yeah I agree except our gas has only gone up about 10 cents not double since the election

Just saw this in phx think it’s the 400z it had a front cross bar in the grill area

I am still using the “prototype” that I got and it’s working perfect!! I am not sure if he is making them or not I haven’t heard more.

Maybe someone put your motor in the car backwards it happens all the time… 😆

Mine gets noisy when it’s hot outside

The bottom of the three bolts snapped off flush with my head as I was verifying torque. Is there much oil pressure in this area? I have a feeling there shouldn’t be too much oil flow there. My question is could I get away with a new gasket and maybe rtv ultra black and using the other two bolts until I want to drill it out. The bottom bolt in this pic Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
