Hey Guys, cheers for the replies. DJ, the 4 bolts that bolt the nose section to the subframe have already been removed in the pic. It looks like I am going to have to remove the fuel tank or drop the subframe down a bit.. I don't know how savvy I will be at that haha. Its the purple V8 fairlady that...

Hey there, I am having some difficulties removing my diff (R180 Long-nose I believe) from my 1980 280ZX (S130). I have had no dramas removing the motor, gearbox and drive-shaft but cant for the life of me figure out how to attack the diff. I have removed the drive-shaft and unbolted the axles to the...

Hey guys, I acquired this car in late December of this year, all the hard work was done completely legal for the motor and gearbox work it was ready to be driven. the major downfall, it was a total train-wreck, the interior is almost non existent having no carpet, most trimming pieces gone there was...

Hey guys, I am looking into adding power steering and air-con to my 1980 280ZX with a 350 Chevvy V8.
