Hey everyone, thought I'd post this up here before going on eBay. I have a pair of rear Koni Yellow adjustable dampers and Lovells springs for the rear of a 280zx. I don't know exactly how many kms the shocks have done as they were in the car when I got it. As you can see in the pics there are marks and scrapes on the paint, but the dampers move freely. Not sure of the exact model but these have 8912 stamped on them. I haven't really tried playing with the adjustment on these, but they worked well in the rear. The only reason for selling is I've installed s13 coilovers and I'm trying to make space in the garage. Springs are the model DRS-11. These lowered the car a bit without being so low that all the geometry goes way out. Asking $150 which is less than the price of the springs alone. Located in Kensington, Sydney.

In case you have interest in doing this for a 280zx I'd definitely be interested... If not I'd love to see how you do it so I may be able to try something similar in any weak parts of the s130 chassis.

Has been sold.

Down to $75 for any 280zx owners out there looking to drop a little weight

Any takers at $100?

I'm not sure who originally manufactured this bonnet as I bought it off eBay a few years ago. It was a hit rough when I got it, but I've since removed the hood pins and patched the holes (can see the hole on the underside as shown in the pics) and a few dings. It's been sanded mostly flat to prep for paint, but as you can see from the pics isn't all the way there. Its not perfect and wouldn't go on a show car, but with a bit more work could be made to look nice, or use it as is with a coat of paint on a more tack/race oriented car. I've also reinforced the hood catch and the two threaded inserts for the bonnet catch, and these should probably be sanded smooth before using. I weighed the stock bonnet at about 19kg and this one is about 13kg, so offers a decent weight saving. Pickup from Kensington, NSW, Sydney. I think $150 would be a fair price for it?

I've been keeping these front hubs and rotors as spares, but it's unlikely I'll ever use them again as I now have s13 coilovers and hubs installed. The bearings are still in there but I would recommend replacing them due to the hubs sitting around. Asking $100 and pickup from Kensington, Sydney. Could also post them if anyone interstate is after then.

Hey, does anyone know where you can get replacement rear subframe (subframe to the body) bushes for a 280zx? I know you can get stock rubber replacements, but I'm looking for something polyurethane or similar. Have searched and only found people talking about cutting down z31 bushes. Mine are most likely the original ones, and after a track day the other day you can feel the rear squirming around. I now have the front end well sorted with adjustable arms and s13 coilovers so it's time for the rear to get some attention!

Just relised I put the same link twice. Here is the other one. https://ehautolink.com/products/Brake-Booster-For-Toyota-Hilux-LN166-LN190-Single-(-44610-3D770-)/90

I've been doing a little more looking around on what model Hilux this may have been from and found the following pages. https://ehautolink.com/products/Brake-Booster-For-Toyota-Hilux-LN106-YN85-(44610-3D130---44610-3D091)/1435 https://ehautolink.com/products/Brake-Booster-For-Toyota-Hilux-LN106-YN85-(44610-3D130---44610-3D091)/1435 These actually have detailed info on the dimensions of the bolts and spacings. I'm an S130 guy and have checked the bolt spacing of these two boosters lines up with a standard 280zx booster (not sure if this means it will work for s30s). The only thing for anyone wanting to use one of these on an s130 is the stock booster has a 35mm spacer. So looking at the two linked boosters, you'd need to use the one with the longer bolts. Hope that helps someone. I'm planning to try to make an adaptor plate to use a twin diaphragm 'GM' booster and a Wilwood 1" master so that way there is flexibility in sizing and hopefully will make rebuilds or future replacements easy... If that works I'll start up another thread with the detail.

Does anyone know what Hilux the booster they used came from?

I'm looking for a pair of 280zx front fenders. Colour doesn't matter and something in reasonable condition (a couple of dings or small amount of rust ok). Located in Sydney.

Hi, I'm looking for a pair of front 280zx guards. They don't have to be in top condition as I'm planning to do a bit of work to the ones I pickup to extend the wheel arch. I'm in Sydney and also have family in Canberra, so could pick them up from either location.

I'm interested, I'll send you a PM

Hi George, I sent a PM about pickup. Let me know when you can come by. Cheers, Marcus

It's time for these magazines to find a new home so someone else can have a read. There are 16 all up and I want to sell them in one lot. They are all in good to very good condition. Pickup from Kensington (Sydney 2033) or I'm happy to post at buyers expense. $40 for the lot.

I'm trying to clear out some parts out of the garage that I have no use for. These CV halfshafts are in good condition and came from a stock 280zx auto. The boots are in good condition. Looking for $200 and pickup from Kensington, (Sydney, 2033), or am happy to post.

If the other member is also planning on parting out the car I'm looking for a couple of interior trim bits, and passenger windscreen washer jet. Can you please also let me know what their plans are for it?

Sounds good. Just got here and I think I may have spotted the Sydney Datsun club guys.

Just wondering if anyone else gets along to the ARDC private practice days at Eastern Creek? There are a whole bunch of days throughout the year, and after the membership fees each track day is $130. I'm planning on going to the one on Monday (1st of Feb) and would be good to meet any other AusZcar members that may be there.

I'm in Ultimo, so could easily get anywhere in the CBD.

As the topic suggests I've got a standard 280zx Tailshaft that I want to get out of the garage, so it's free to whoever gets in first. It's in good condition, I just don't need it anymore as I have a beefier unit for my V8 conversion. I don't really want to post so will only do that if no one else is interested. Pickup from Kensington, Sydney, NSW

Hi Steve, I sent you a PM about the targa tops. I'm interested depending on their condition. Do you have any pics of them?

Hi Everyone, I'm hoping someone has an oil temperature sensor for a 280zx (threads into the sump). I'm in Sydney, but happy to pay postage. I'm thinking $15 plus postage would be fair if someone has one. Cheers, Marcus

Don't suppose you have an oil temperature sensor?
