If you have the lower panel that goes underneath the glove box I would like one, black preferably. It covers up the blower motor, mine was cracked and held on by duct tape so I trashed it. PM me if...

I had this link saved for when I got around to doing the diff. I ended up removing it when I bought one of Daves R/T style mounts . Thought it might come in handy for someone else, so here it is,...

You and I are on the same page there. I did the front first, knowing I had to drop the tank for the rear bumper. I had taken a sawzall to the strut so I could mount it in advance. When it came time...

What better gift could you hope for? I wasnt so lucky yesterday : (
I did get a cool tie though :)

Oh and my daughters boyfriend did get me a car cover for my Z.

I think I would have liked...

Cozye,
thanks for the reply. Yes, I did all the bushings including the rack. I did the ball and socket bushing on the arms and also replaced the coupling (what a pain that was).
I cannot remember...

congrats, I read your original post with great envy. I too did the suspension last year, poly kit, r/t diff mount, toyota brake upgrade, rebuilt rear brakes, eibachs, tokico illuminas, 15 inch...

I had the same problem with my 77. I had taken stuff off the motor shortly after purchase to clean it all up and put it back and had the miss and shudder going on. I retraced all my steps (or so I...

To recap, I installed one of the R/T style mounts I purchased from Dave (Zsondabrain) last weekend along with a total teardown of my rearend. When I (finally, after 8 months!) got it back together a...

Ron, not sure with the Fairlady but I had no issues before. All I know it was a P.I.T.A to get that stabilzer bar back in place. Trying to get everything lined up, squeezed in and held together while...

Thanks Ron. I am using the E/S poly on the mustache bar, I dont have the rubber washers any longer. I do agree with you that getting some more clearance would probably solve the problem. I need to...

I got the car back up on stands and took a couple photos. I think the problem is the driveshaft is hitting the rear sway bar. I took it for another test drive and it makes the noise when I downshift...

Thanks Steve, it was just a thought on reducing the noise, I wondered if it might affect things. I am testing the car without any interior as well and should figure that in. Hopefully, once I get in...

Dave, that makes me a feel a little better. When I went to put the diff back in, I had the bar located behind the hangars as in your photo, the manual showed it like that. When I went to put on the...

Ok, please look at Daves pic, (the clearer one with red bolt heads) and mine that I snapped last week. Note the position of the moustache bar compared to mine. His is behind the mounts (silver) and...

Good points, thanks for the advice. Dave, I ddnt think you would mind the pic grab, at least it shows I DO search before starting a new thread :)

Not sure of the difference between your 260 and my...

I didnt replace the half shaft U-joints or the wheel bearings. I pulled on the wheels prior to the start of the project, 12-6 and 3-9 positions and they felt fine. I kick myself for not doing the...

To start, '77 280. Front end rebuilt last fall and just finished the rear last weekend. I installed, Illumina's, Eibach springs, ES poly bushings (all of them), S/S brake lines, shoes and wheel...

Black seems to be the color, I went black on everything, including the calipers.

Rims/tires, stainless steel brake lines to go with your new s12 calipers. Maybe a brake booster from a 280zx as well. Interior, if you dont mind a little extra weight, Dynamat or its equivalent....

I would rather be safe than sorry and spring the extra few bucks for the fuel injection hose. From the line coming in under the hood, to the filter and up to the rail, its all fuel injection line. I...

I fired mine up for the 1st time since last fall today! In October, I finished up rebuilding the front end. I drove it for a 10 mile test drive and the next weekend, put it up on jackstands to start...

Well, I am glad that I did it,I was never a fan of the taxi cab bumpers. Some think you should leave the car alone, if you wanted small bumpers, get a 240. There were other reasons that factored into...

I used these brackets and they worked very well. A little flimsier than I would have thought but basically you are just hanging the bumpers on them as niether the bracket or bumper offers any real...

front fenders would be great.

ditto on the Rustoleum "Self Etching" primer..I get the one that is green in color. BTW, its much cheaper at your local Walmart than it is at your local car parts or hardware store.
