figured it out this morning!

 

ended up being the bass adjuster blew apart on the inside and these two stupid little pieces of brass were shorting against the radio...

 

weird as shit, but it works perfectly now, just don't have any bass adjustment, but I'm fine with that haha

got these poly bushings for free off a friend, spent all day yesterday putting them in, what a PITFA.

these came in yesterday as well, ebay brand.

my reasoning is I have to modify them to fit anyways, so why pay extra for a name brand set when the only difference is the color (which would be getting grinded off anyways lol)

put the new studs in and slid the rotors on, then went to put the calipers on, then ran into another obstacle:

apparently the Z31 caliper sits too far out for the stock 280ZX rotor, but too far in for the Z31 rotor... ugh.

 

hopefully going to go get the right brackets tomorrow

was super bored before work today so I decided to go out and roll my other spare fender:

looks to have a slight pull, but I'm okay with that!

no in progress pics because I didn't think about it :P

 

basically all I did was sit the bulk of the fender on my saw horses, brace the lip against my knee (probably should use some padding) and tap away at the lip till it was rolled to my likings, and then tapped the very edge flush against the fender so as not to catch any rubber :B a hint is to tap the whole lip to a certain angle and work the whole thing closer and closer in multiple rounds of tapping.

A buddy of mine would put seam sealer in after rolling fenders to fight rust. Dirt and sand get stuck, holds water, rusts away....

 

Then i realized you're in vegas...

 

 

 

 

 

Nice work man. Can't wait to see that rear end go in!
