Off work now so I’ve got some Z time this week. I’ve not managed to move the pipe at all it is well and truly stuck in there,thinking that cutting it makes sense now and leaving it open are there any possible issues with doing that? I know I’ll have to plug the inlet manifold end at least.

Thanks for your reply’s, I’m going to have a play with with it tomorrow, I’ll try heating it up and trying to bend it first.
I’ll let you know how it goes.

I’m fitting a Z Story system to my 76 280. The problem I have is the crankcase breather pipe is very very close to the front tube. The one on my engine is angled to the the bottom of the inlet manifold,My thoughts are I need to move the tube out of the way.
Looking at other L6 series engines...
My car is only a road car as it will never see a track but it will be driven hard on back roads.
I have the lowered by 30mm all round and the shocks are set half way ie 15 clicks on the wheel.
I have poly bushes all round too, I find the car rides smoother and turns in much quicker. Body roll...
I had a test fit my Z story strut braces today on my 280z today. The front bar hits the AAC valve or part of the wiring loom if I turn the brackets the other way, I’ll have to look rerouting some items and try again.
The rear one bent the mounting brackets a little bit when mounting them, but...
Yes there are speed bumps on the road leading up to the entrance and a few once inside. Some of the super low Hotrods come in thru a side entrance but I’m not sure how to arrange that.
I have been attending this show for a Few years now and there has been a steady increase of classic Jap cars including a few Z's.
If anyone is interested in a great day out which is family friendly take a look.

I am just about to order some BC coilovers for my 76 280z they offer various spring rates and as its going to mainly used on the Road I'm not sure what spring rates to go for. The car is already polybushed but otherwise the suspension is standard.
BC offer these spring rates
5/5...
I’m in North London and work near St Albans so as long as I’ve sorted out my brake issues It would be good to meet up I know of a few Z’ds around Enfield
