    I've got a 1975 280z. I want to put disc brakes in the back. I've heard of swapping them out with another Nissan vehicle. Can someone tell me which one it is? Thanks in advance!

    I found some wheels that look great on a z however, I can't find out who makes them. Anybody know what wheels they are and who is the manufacture? Thanks in advance! http://www.virtual1.net/dave/newwheels.htm

    You guys rule down here. I've gotten nothing but "you can't do this" from everyone on HybridZ. I know its a $^!# load of money but screw it. If you want something unique, go for it. I didn't say it would be ready by Monday or anything! I read everyone's post and I really appreciate the feedback. I knew this was going to be a big project (hobby). I just can't seem to do anything half assed. I want the best but I don't have the bank for it. I know it will take time. Ironicly, I was watching Speed Channel the other night and Barrett Jackson was on. One of the guys that built the car said it took him 14 years. I think he might be on my schedule! Anyway, someday it will be and I allready have the V10 in my garage! Not to mention a mint-condition Alpine CD player. You know, the cool ones that were in about 10-15 years ago. The low lighted green lights that are sqared up. Talk about motavation!

    It's great to see people who actually post some comments about my dilemma with some common sense. I really appreciate it. Ok. So some of you might like to know. My Z is currently down to metal. I mean metal. All wiring, dash, upholstery, everything is out. We are currently working on the body. I plan on taking the car and having it dipped. There are only two places within 300 miles of my home that do it and I'm on a list a mile long so this is really going to slow me up. I plan on doing the restoration of the body from the ground up. I've put together a great package that will make this car handle like a sports car of this day. Ok. I probably got your attention when I said "Viper". I'm one of those damn people that can't have everything someone else has. I've looked at Z cars until I was blue in the face and no one seems to have that setup. I'm sure I ever get this thing done, it will turn some heads. I looked on the net for Wrecked Viper Cars and was fortunate to find an owner that was willing to sell me the motor for about $6000. A new one is 10.5 for the crate. I'll be more than happy to keep you all informed; if you would like. I'll try Hybridz now. Thanks again for the time.

    Ok. Here is some clarification. I intend to REMOVE what would be called the chassis. I know this will include taking a plasma torch to it after welding support bars so the body will not cave in on itself. I'm doing this for two reasons. One, like I said there was some damage to the "chassis" in the engine well. Two, I plan on dropping a little power in it; a viper motor. I'm pretty sure I will need to stiffen the "chassis" like a son of a bitch before she wraps sheet metal around me and cooks me like a burrito! Having said all that, if anyone out there has done this type of surgery before ( and I know it has been done) I would greatly appreciate the response. Thanks for the time!!

    I was wondering if anyone out there has replaced the chassis in their Z car. Mine is a 1975 280z. She has some damage but not a lot. I'm trying to restore her for show. If anyone has some pointers, or has measurments (wonderful), let me know! Thanks in advance!

    Does anyone know where to get a dash for a 1975 280z Coupe? Wait wait. A dash in very good condition? I have had very little luck finding one and Motorsport sells them for $1200. Anyone seen one?
