75BlackZ

i like the second color... looks good. The first pic looks pretty decent as well.... gonna be one good lookin Z

that looks sweeeeeet. I'm not a HUGE fan of green, but that is a hella cool color. My old G20 used to be dark dark green, so almost looked black from far away. How dark of green are you going to be going?

OKAY.. OLD thread.. but why start a new one? I want to put 42 offset wheels on my car.... so i needa put in a 42 spacer in?? If I can only find a 40 offset spacer... will the +2 be a big deal? How much offset left over can can be considered "okay"?

get a manual... they usually help. I was in a wiring nightmare till i decided to concern myself with school more and now my Z is in the shop geting re-wired by a Z shop down here in LA. When you hit your brakes... do ALL the turn signals come on? At one point, my car did that, and if my lights weren't turned on, and i hit my brakes.... the gauges would light up too... does that happen to you? If so... your wiring is not connected to the rear brake lights, but the parking lights. Also check... turn on your lights, then hit your brakes... is there a difference?

is there a meet going on or something? hopefully i'll be free, but if you guys are around the Pomona area (its basically the 210/57 split) for a stop, i'd be happy to meet up with you guys. If there is a meet or something going on, i can always just meet up with you guys at MSA. Oh ya.. i'm a bay area folkie, just down here for school (cal poly pomona)

might want to check out Vildini Motorsport, I know they do a LOT of work on Z's, including engine swaps, electrical, etc. (my car is there right now) THey are located in mission viejo, and one of the guys (alex) is on here somewhere, or that is how i knwo about them.. through one of his posts. i think the website is www.vildinimotorsport.com Yea.. they are really cool guys.

I got higher quality pics from the seller, i asked him for them.... if you want them you can have them.... do you have decent pics of yours?

I might have to pick these up for my new project, they look sick. Are they decent rims, sorry for being a newbie but these rims are new to me and lot of hype around them (why is that)?

haha.. i used this one..def. stunned them quite anyway.. all in good humor I know my car will be more PIMP and GREATER than their cars wil EVER be.... oh ya and one main reason my car is better... really 2 little words... NO SMOG

maan.. i'im in SF, wat kinda shop is it though?

I have 1 chilton manual and 1 haynes manual already(both for the 75), prolly get a FSM soon though. the problem for me buying these things is that I need to get 1 for the 1975 and 1 for the 1983 (for engine work).

I just started reading around too... and i can agree with that statement, something about my 75 280z that is just unique and i love. Some people call my car ugly.. 2 or 3 call it the penis mobile... but it is a car that can only be loved by its owner and "father or mother"... And i love it.

muchas gracias, when i get back from a short vacation home I will come back and check that out.. i found out some more things to check out.. the hazard and blinker flashers which are under the steering wheel.... have to check those, didn't know their exact location till i read it on zcar.

Yea, after doing some reading n researching i figured out about the speedo cable, so I sitll have to check that out, along with the reverse lights, the Trany is from a newer NA, and while at a junkyard I noticed that there was a Sensor of some sort coming out of the tranny.. would that be the reverse light?

Okay.. here is the deal, i just bought this car: First some history on the car: -1975 280zx N/A Shell and Chassis -1983 280zxT (turbo) engine.. fully built, under 60K -F54/p90 turbo engine- -can go here for more info:http://www.g20.net/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31297- It has the following issues that i want to take care of NOW: *Turn signals do not work... they turn on with running lights, but do not blink (front lip is not stock) *Reverse Lights do not work when put in Reverse (they are there just don't light up) *SPEEDOMETER..AND TACH do not function. These are main issues as of now, just for drivability issues. i have been searching on the net for more Z forums, so i can find more information, but nothing has been helping, and I need the car to be GOOD to run shortly so i can drive it around looking for jobs (not fun driving without blinkers or reverse light, or knowing how fast you are going). Anyway... 1- speedometer issue is I THINK, due to the fact the engine is out of a different aged car and because of this the wiring is not the same... but is there anyway to WIRE up the speedometer and/or tach to work? Would it be easier to just find a 1983ish turbo Z at a junkyard with the speedometer wires in tact? where would they run? 2- Tachometer not working is not a huge issue... I do have an aftermarket one laying around, anyone know wher ei can get a wiring diagram on how to hook it up to my engine? 3- How about the blinkers.. it appears after doing some research the front bumper/lip is NOT from this car originally, so would i need to figure out how to make those blink.. or just try n find the grill mounted blinkers the older Z's had on them already?? 4- Finally... how about the Reverse? is it hooked up to the transmission or just somewhere in the center console somewhere??? Please let me know... PS Anyone know any good shops in CALI? perferably LA area... So i can ask them to fix other issues (like the heater). Thanks sooooo much for ANY input, anything puts me a step closer to finishing. Thanks again, Roy Okay... sorry this is pasted from 2 other forums i'm trying to get info off of. I have since figured out a few things, nothing has been fixed yet, in fact, my windshield wipers STOPPED working on me (bad 'cause its starting to rain in So. Cal) and my headlights wouldn't turn off, i then cut a few wires, then when trying to reconnect using a switch, one of them burned so hot it melted the plastic cover and caught my pant leg on fire a tad (no harm done).
