will do!

if you go to autozone or another similar place you can buy fusible link wire. it's different than regular wire because it will "blow" like a fuse oh, and no problem

IIRC on the passenger side front fenderwell.

could it be a fusible link? i'm not too keen on the 280Zs or whether the fusible links have any connection with the headlights, but that's the only thing i can think of.

welcome (albeit a bit late )! anyway, ghlad to see that the rust was only surface rust. i hate FeO2! do you plan on stripping to bare metal or are you going to be using POR-15 products, etc?

^agreed with carl. take the brakes apart, put some of that red disc brake anti-squeal compuund all over the backs of the pads, and reassemble

unless it's a typo, he said that the guy quoted him $500. WELL worth it, IMO

stephen, i registered over at CCC and apparently all classic japanese cars are welcome. i think it ought to be fun!

shoot, i'm down! but i'm sure the Z won't be up and running yet...

dooooooooo itttttttttt

ya, i've been searching all over the net for ones for the 1983 pickup. only ones i can find are for '89 and newer

not sure... still trying to find them. i'll update this thread when i find some!

i know this is old, but i think that is more of a 2000gt flavour....

Samuri?

i was thinking scarab, too

UPDATE - moustache bar is not needed! the PO saw fit to install an r200!!!! yay! at least i'm assuming so, because the moustache bar dips back about 3/4" or so.

an exhaust leak will make a sort of "clicking" sound. you don't HAVE to take off the intake manifold, but it's a heck of a lot easier to take it off. besides a new header/exhaust manifold, you will need a gasket.

the bearings are available from autozone for ~25 each (if you only need to replace a couple)

thanks for that arne! now i know what bearings to replace is that in an FAQ or sticky somewhere? that would be good information for easy access....

welcome to the site!don't forget to check out hybridz.org for those crazy conversions....

i know what you mean. that's one of the next projects....sigh

ya, i tried that. apparently the red bushings don't soften anywho, a bit of trimming and some good ol' grease got 'em to slide right in

ended up just keeping the energy suspension setup. trimming went MUCh quicker with a dremel

awesome, thanks!
