There are reocker panels for sale on ebay. I have a 280z and these are listed to be for a 240. Are the any differences? Thanks ..Bruce

I am in desperate need of a working interior heater control valve for a 77 280 z. the Nissan dealer here is unable to get a new one for me. if anyone can help me out I would be greatful

Hey all ..I thought I would post a little message here .. I have just discovered that the "new" doors I have for my 77 280 are actualy for an older model. So I have for sale or swap 2 good doors and 2 rusty doors for a 76 and older z .. and also alittle rusty but not too bad .. 2 doors from a 77 280 What I would really like to find is some good doors for my 77 280 that would bolt right on. Cheers ..Bruce

So this is a questions I have now .. I have 2 sets of door that i can put on my 77 280 and the new setts both have different latches. I could bolt the latch onto the body and mahe it work ... but are saying that it is not worth the trouble? Anybody know where I could get two good doors for a 77 280? Anybody interested in doors for 240/260 ???

Thanks Gary even though I am not racing this car .. I would like to set it up with urethane bushings etc ... just to have a car that would give me that feel. I dont intend on selling it and would like it to feel like a car that would cut up a corner. Hey we should hook up some time. We are not far from one another. .. I would love to hear your z stories. I may be driving my z for a few mor months yet. How about I plan for a week for my boy and I to come down your way for a run? Cheers ..Bruce Ü

thanks look easy haaha

Hey guys .. I am about to do a complete upgrade on my old wornout suspension on my 77 z and I cant remember where I saw some web sites that document this project. Can anyone tell me where I could find this info ..or offer me your own advice. I assume I should just plan to replace everything. What kind of issues am I likely to encounter ... What things can I easily do under some ramps and what do I need to get the front end guys to do? I am I pretty good mechanic ..but have not done much suspension work. This car has all original rubber I think. Also .. how hard it is to change the u-joints. The clunking in the back end is getting louder and I need to get them changed. Can I do this myself easily enough? Thanks All .. Bruce

Hey guys here's a good question for you. With this same car (mine is also 77 280) but I have removed FI and installed good old SU's... what plugs do you think would be best? Cheers ..Bruce PS sorry for hijacking this thread

How much oil is the right amount to put into my 280 Z?

My advise .. take out the crappy FI in this car and put a good header and a nice new set of SU's. I did this to my 77 and have NO regrets. The car pulls harder, gets better mpg, runs better over all and I have no more problem diagnosing a problem. If you have sprk and fuel, you car runs good (in simple terms) And I think that by the time would have spent all the money fixing the old FI system, I am better off going the way I went. Sorry .. I know this is not an answer to your question .. I am just pitting my opinion forward for those who are interested. Cheers ! Ü Bruce

Yes .. how much for that and the washer bottle? BTW how much are you asking for the fenders?

Curtis .. I am also interested in the fornt fenders. .. What are the door liners like? I also need the window washer bottle with the motor ..
