ggzilla Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Can't go wrong with black. Use a vinyl spray paint. Quote Link to comment

10psitx Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 My boys did the final install of the carpet this week end, they scrubbed the floor pans clean, sanded some surface rust and sprayed it with rust converter, installed the carpet and trimmed it to fit. The interior looks amazing!! Myself, my daughter and one of my sons ....surprisingly comfortable in there!! Quote Link to comment

10psitx Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I am talking to the owner of the 280zx about purchasing the shell as it sits as well as the rest of the parts to get it going. If that happens ill start a new build thread in the z car section. Quote Link to comment
Lonestar Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 That would be one hell of a deal, looks like most of the hard work is done! Just a drop in a motor and trans with some other keys parts, you'd have one sweet ride. Just don't get caught in the rain with it! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
10psitx Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 If the deal does happen, its going to be a Funday car and i will certainly check the weather.... i think with all the parts i saw its going to be a easy to finish the project. I was told the owner had 20k into the project at the time he abandoned it. He gave everything to the Mechanic that was going to finish the car and its been sitting at the shop for 4 years under a protective tarp. The workmanship is top notch and the small custom touches on the shell are very well executed, it was certainly done by a master craftsman. That is the main reason im interested in this...as am an not a fan of this model z, i love the 240Z but not really into the 280ZX . Quote Link to comment
10psitx Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I need a driver side door with hinges and a a drives side front fender as well.....my boys were messing with the car last night and put it in reverse to check the reverse lights, i guess the ebrake was not fully engaged and the car started rolling back. My son panicked and hit the accelarator pedal, the driver door was open and my truck was parked behind the car. The door contacted the truck causing it to exceed the range of the hinge crushing both the fender and the door as well as stretching the hinge, The door can't close, so i need to replace the hinge, door and fender now. Thankfully no one got hurt, just parts need to be replaced now. Anyone who has the parts and willing to sell? please contact me @512-767-0644 Terrance. Thanks. Quote Link to comment

10psitx Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 project put on hold for a while, its being stored in the back parking lot at my job hopefully i can get back to it in a month or so. Quote Link to comment
10psitx Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I dropped the car off at my buddys house last Friday, he will renove the engine/tranny and front cross member/suspension....updates to come! Quote Link to comment
10psitx Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 The car has been sold back to the Person i bought it from, i asked him to post progress here when he gets going on it. Quote Link to comment
WishDRFTR Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 So happy to have my Datto back!!! Now I get to make it a streetable for the third time!! Whoopie!!! Lol no worries though, I love this car and I hope I never have to buy it again :-P Just a quick progress update, I mounted in a corbeau fx1 pro race seat as its all I had in my garage and it was way easier to mount the the s13 seats the car came to me with would have been. It sits high but looks pretty neat. I'll make some custom brackets that sit lower later. I'm short so it's all good. Still gotta put the interior back together and get the brakes working. Probably Gunna need some pads and shoes. Hopefully this weekend she'll make back on the road!! Quote Link to comment

WishDRFTR Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I need longer wheel studs for my B310. Anyone know what I can get? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I need longer wheel studs for my B310. Anyone know what I can get? How much longer? 90s Nissan Quest studs are 10mm longer and work like stock? Any parts store should have them. ARP #100-7708 are 2.5" long and work well, but require different lug nuts. Easy to find on ebay, etc. Quote Link to comment

ARP #100-7708 are 2.5" long and work well, but require different lug nuts. Easy to find on ebay, etc. 10 mm is perfect!! I gotta run 5 mm spacers for my front wheels to clear my tie rod because of such positive offset. They're not my permanent solution but will do for now. Thanks a lot!! Do those quest studs work front and rear or just one? I believe the rear knurl diameter is larger than the front. Quote Link to comment
