Re: Great body condition 280Z project for sale

It looks like a great starting point for somebody. You are certainly not over-priced. If the body is rust-free and straight, it would probably bring much more if you advertise it nationally on a bunch of Datsun sites. Good luck with sale!

Two S30's at Sun City West car show this weekend

There was a gray '74 260 and a wine red '78 280Z at the annual SCW car show. I talked to the 260Z owner, but I didn't see anybody around the 280Z. Was it anybody on here? The 260Z owner said he lives in Wittmann and isn't a member of this site.

Re: To Bagdad and Back

I might not make it today after all. My wife and I spent all night at the emergency vet, and, unfortunately, we had to put our dog down. We got home around 3:30am this morning and my wife is finally getting some sleep. Once she gets up, we'll see if we are in the mood to get dressed and go today. We...

Re: What I did on my Datsun today

No, the easy way is to use toe plates (search Longacre Toe Plates), but I do it without. With the car on the groundand neutralized, measure as high as you can from tire to tire forward of the contact patch. Use a rain groove and hook the tape measure on one side and read to the same groove on the ot...

Re: What I did on my Datsun today

I run about 1/8" toe out in the front, but you can also do 1/8" toe in. There are plusses and minuses either way. Toe in is more common.

Re: What I did on my Datsun today

Just align it with a tape measure. I've done this many times on both my race Z and my street Z.

Re: What I did on my Datsun today

My Z has been running great since I woke it up a month ago. The last few days, however, it has been starting hard and felt like it was losing fuel pressure overnight. It also developed a new smell underhood. On top of that, the other night when I pulled in the garage, I noticed a slight belt squeal ...
