Thats a very good question and someone is paying attention. I know what it is because I took the pic. You are looking at the right side outer front rocker (its cut out. The tire would be to the right and the A pillar to the left. The question is... does the vertical kick panel go all the way down to the bottom of the rocker? I dont think so.

Looks about the same as mine. Rust prevention was not on their mind back then.

For those who have rust free Z's (yea right) dont look. I have been working on my Japanese lunch box and the right front rocker is getting tricky. This is not going to be a 10 year on the jig project but not a bondo special either. I have a new outer front tip of a rocker, new inner front rocker and the new inner stiffener. The question is does the right kick panel come all the way down to the bottom of the rocker. I dont think it does. I cut away (pic) the outer part of the rocker and will try to grind to fit the new piece up in there and attach to the A pillar. Plasma really helps. This is a real ugly area to work on. p.s. also included is a pic of the inner rocker where the fender bolts to.

both sets of pictures look nice but the upper ones still have alot of rubber and clamps. Not to mention a ton of work for the the braided AN fitting and lines. Problem with braided is you can see the condition of the rubber under it, hence a fire hazard. Looks like alot of time to convert unless someone sells a DIY conversion kit, I may just keep my rats nest.

Have any of you guys gone with a single piece fuel rail and did away with the lines. I would like to see some pics.

what is the point of the inner piece shown in the pic above

So I noticed they sell an " inner rocker" but its really a piece (not sure why) that is sandwiched between the outer and inner rocker. I really need the just the real inner part and the front, not the whole rocker. Anyone make it.

On the drivers tie rod. Which way loosens the nut? Iam thinking these might be reverse threads

I know what the rockauto ad shows but moog is misleading people. The k9011 does not have a grease fitting. Buy another brand.

What with moog balljoints, no zerk fittings. I guess they want you to buy them all the time.

Have any of you guys replaced the strut boot? Would like to see the setup.

Worked

Should be interesting getting a torque wrench under the car in that area and applying 80lbs.

Ok you tighten on the ground, then it goes on a lift with wheel hanging or lots of suspension travel. I dont think the rubber was designed for torsion, was made for radial load.

The kyb boot is different then stock. I believe the original snapped to the top spring support. The kyb sits in the top support but would fall, the bottom of the boot is too loose.

When i tighten the bolt for the lower control arm it pinches the bushing preventing it to move. It needs to move, preventing the rubber from tearing.

How come the 280z has a hole in the passenger side of the firewall for a wiring harness but a 240z does not have the hole.

How do i get the top nut/cap off the strut? I tried heat...nothing. the nut is sheey metal and trying to bend

What holds the new strut in? Looks like there is something on the bottom of the new strut?

I see that front struts are being made but my factory manual talks about removing the rod and filling the tube, packing the top seal. So does the new strut fit inside the existing tube?

Have you guys looked at the price of shipping on parts for our cars. I need a bunch of parts but the shipping is around fifty percent the price of the parts. There are a ton of places like summit and jegs that offer free shipping on orders over $99. I think the issue is our parts are not here in the usa. Zcarsource appears to have the best shipping prices.

Is there a book or online ref that shows every single part and placement on the car?

I have heard bad things about canadian vendors. There are a couple up there and unreliable.

Wonder how different 240 and 280 sheet metal is. There are alot of 240 parts.
