What's the story of this famous Works race car? What races did it win? Thanks. Love your 240ZG by the way. My son is using pics of it to build his Fujimi 1/24 240ZG model.

"European Springs"
I have already installed KYB's and new urethane bushings on my '78 280Z coupe. I was wondering what the addition of some new Nissan European springs would make to the cars handling. Will they work OK with the KYB's? European Spec Front Spring 122lbs/in 2.2kg European Spec Rear Spring 142lbs/in 2.5kg Not for 280Z 2+2 Fits 9/1974 and up Anyone here running the KYB + Euro springs combo on a '78 280Z?

B-J auction Z
Nuts. I wish they had shown the Z's. I am sure Brock Yates would have made some smart arse remark about them.

"European Springs"
Performance Nissan is selling the Euro springs at a good price. How would these work with my new KYB's? How much would they lower my 280Z? http://performancenissanparts.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=1002_1005_1085_1093 These sound like stage 2.

Ron,Did you ever confirm whether the PDK front strut bar fits a '78 280Z w/o hood modification? There is still some question on the new MSA bars.

Your thoughts wanted, preservation/restoration?
That's my plan with our '78 280Z. If and when the motor ever needs to come out I plan to redo the engine compartment to match the redone exterior & interior. Hopefully the original motor can be redone as well.

Added the Dynomax Race Bullet today Art. Well worth the money! Cuts the boominess alot. Its 2.5" straight through too!

Header problem
Sean I just got through with a similar fix. The Z sounds alot better now. Sal at MSA did reimburse me the $100 it took to get the system to work. The Dynomax Bullet makes a big difference in the noise/boominess.

MSA 6/1 Header w/MSA Turbo exhaust?
I had the Dynomax Race Bullet installed today as a premuffler. It made a huge difference in the car. Took out most of the annoying boominess. It was worth every penny.

Exactly the exhaust combo I am running. I like it but it tends to be a bit too loud/boomy around 2K to 3K under load. I have ordered a Dynomax Race Bullet 18" Muffler (2.5 in & out) #24236 from Summit Racing for $56 shipped. It is supposed to cut out some of the noise. Should know by the end of the week.

Drivers seat recovered
Looks good Art. What mods did you have to make to install the RSTB? How do you like the console/drink holder? Two more items on my to do list.
