a 280zx that should probably be totaled, but...

Yep! Heard lots of the same stuff/seen it happen on an engine dyno.


That fame patch thing makes me nervous.

Yeah, cheap of the cheap is better than fram

hooray for new motor mounts being needed lol

[joshuawheat]

during the tranny replacement, I had a jack under the oil pan with support for the whole pan. I had some pressure on it and I believe i wore out my motor mounts. whoop whoop!

Rebuilt my Tranny crossmember since I have a small chassis vibration and my rubber in it was destroyed. I found a relatively easy way to go about it.

Cut the rubber out around the edge of the crossmember. Continue by cutting the metal bushing from the rubber. Then go to Home Depot and find, in the plumbing section, a hose that fits very snug into the ends. use this as a starting point. Go to Advance Auto Afterwards (or autozone or o reillys) get some 5/8 tranny line (IIRC it is 5/8) or whatever line fits snug into the larger line. Insert the metal bushing into the smaller line. Insert the largest line into the end of the crossmember and cut off the correct length. Then insert the smaller line (with metal bushing already inserted) into the larger line (already in the crossmember) and voila, you have successfully made new rubber for your crossmember for your 280zx. I wish I had more photos, but I may do a write-up on this down the road. It is way more firm now, and should reduce chassis vibrations.
