Rustbucket Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Canada is in the house!!! just read the thread in one hour, well skimmed everything but the oics :rolleyes: Holding it down for rusty cars across the province, haha! Picked up a couple goodies yesterday and this afternoon. Grabbed my weld-on quick release, as well as my rebuilt brake booster - everything about it is so much nicer now. Should look a hell of a lot tidier in there now. 1 Quote Link to comment

M240Z Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Did you get a bigger booster? Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Did you get a bigger booster? Naw, same sized booster - but with a 1" MC now. Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I'm getting myself psyched to pour the cocks to this thing over the fall and winter months. I want this shit totally fucking finished mid-way through winter. Save money in to the spring for a spare set of Wat's or MK3's for endless burnouts. Continued where I left off the other night.

Rustbucket Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 My tension rod cups were destroyed on the drivers side, so I welded on the old washers from the factory arms and drilled them out to accept the new washers on the T3 rods. Awfully nice meow. I brought a bunch of milk crates and storage bins to tidy my space further, and found this in the bottom of one of my old boxes. Like a fucking chump! :( Anyone have a black surround they'd like to send me? Quote Link to comment

I might be hitting up a junkyard tomorrow in hopes of finding a 4.11 rear dif, and I can see if they have one for ya. Is the 240 piece different from the 280 piece? 2 Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Oof! I might be hitting up a junkyard tomorrow in hopes of finding a 4.11 rear dif, and I can see if they have one for ya. Is the 240 piece different from the 280 piece? I don't honestly know! :( I'm gonna have a look in the Black Dragon catalog at work later and see if they're still selling these pieces. Also - excellent decision on the 4.11's, haha! Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I have a couple pieces that look like that... Im not going to use them if you want them... 1 Quote Link to comment

Skib Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 yeah those are factory storage cubbys Quote Link to comment
Josh V. Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I too would like to know if the 280/260 steering wheel console is the same as the 240 or something similar. Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Absolutely, dude! I'd love to take them off your hands. haha alright, Ill clean them up and everything for you! 1 Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 The 260 and 280z steering column covers are the same but slightly dif then the 240z one. They are interchangeable to someone who doesnt care about using the correct one. Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 This thing's gonna rip! Haha, I certainly hope so! I wanna have fun. are those little storage cubby's or somethin? if they are OE sorry, i don't know Z's well =/ project is comin along good i will say :thumbup: They are rather convenient little storage spots for the scissor jack from the factory, as well as tools. They fit the small deep-cycle batteries really well, also! ;) haha alright, Ill clean them up and everything for you! You're the bestest! The 260 and 280z steering column covers are the same but slightly dif then the 240z one. They are interchangeable to someone who doesnt care about using the correct one. Do you know in which way they're actually different? I did manage to find some ones on Ebay that were relatively inexpensive. It's a kick in the nuts to have to buy shit out of my own neglect.

Ben280 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 The junkyard 280z i saw had a smashed one. In better shape than yours but I doubt you'd care to fuss with it. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 The 240z (I believe there are 2 dif ones) are simple and smoother, the bottom being flat. The 280z has extra contours, one major being the ridge where the key goes under the bottom. Believe early 260 used the same as the late 240. They say that with the tail lights too though Idk honestly there. I bet even a s30 nut wouldnt even notice an incorrect column cover between 240/280 but that said I wouldnt replace mine with an incorrect one. Not a purist thing, just peace of mind I guess.

Josh V. Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 The only way I'd buy a 260/280 one over a 240's since sellers on craigslist over price 240 parts like crazy. Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I think I'm just gonna search locally, or buy one of the Ebay ones. I'm a little miffed I fucked mine up. Quote Link to comment

Rustbucket Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 So, as if it took me 18 hours to assemble a 'bolt-in' street bar. It was headache after headache because this is a Datsun and the floors didn't exist when I got it. Here's the main hoop. This is why I got angry. Quote Link to comment
mcmlxxxv Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 that's a good reason to be angry.... 1 Quote Link to comment
