    Suspension Bushings Source

    I'm currently replacing the suspension with coilovers and I thought while I've got everything apart I will replace the bushings on the spindle and the control arms. I can only seem to find kits from America for 200 odd quid which have seemingly every bushing on every part of the car. I really...

    The world's most expensive 280z?

    Yep :lol: That being said for a nut and bolt restoration I think 25-30 would be fair.

    The world's most expensive 280z?

    On carandclassic there are currently 2 nut and bolt restoration 280z's for 35000 and 40000. Given this isn't a nut and bolt but looks like a very clean example id say its reasonable.

    The perfect wheel/tyre?

    John have you experienced any issues with the 205's on the 8" wide RKR's? I'm thinking of getting a set myself but without flares or rolled arches it might be a squeeze so the narrower the tyre the better.

After removing the rear it became apparent that I would need to replace the rear weld-in panel as the 280z version has rather large holes in it. When I...

    280z Strip and Paint

    I have already stripped some of the car like the carpets, seats and bumpers etc. I labelled and bagged everything as I did. I only need to strip it to the point of being able to paint it. Would I have to remove the dash and everything behind it? What about things like the headliner (which is...

    280z Strip and Paint

    I've recently started work restoring a 280z and whilst the paint is okay it is not perfect. There's a few scratches, its a bit faded and I also need to weld in a rear panel and fit a front spoiler, both which will need painting. Because of this I'm planning to have a full outer spray done but...
