Hi Guys,
Good luck at the track this weekend. I am the new caretaker for the 260Z and have purchased the car from Jeff R. I am working hard to get this thing running. I have sorted through most of the parts and I have made a shit list of items to do. Still need to get the charging system, oil cooler, brake lines, drive line and fuel lines run. Those are the big items. I am coming to ITS from spec Miata several years ago and have helped Ron and Jeff Y over the years. I am a noob driver and I will get my son licensed as well. Jeff R. and Ron and Jeff Y have prepped a pretty nice tub so far. I am missing one rear brake shoe locating block that bolts to the top of the brake backing plate. Still looking through boxes. I picked up about four plastic tubs and three boxes from Jeff when I picked up the car. Looking forward to getting back to racing in my own car.
Cheers,
Ed P.

Hope to see you down here in florida... Good luck with the car.
Good to see another Z driver. I have a 260 that I drive once or twice a year, and I maintain David Spillmans 240. Let me know if you need anything. I make some nice camber plates, David's old car had them, the new tub we are looking at has them and I put a set on Parish's car this winter. Supposed to get Donnelly's car up here when the scheduling gods permit. I also make caliper cooling ducts that drop the caliper temp by 200 degrees in July at Road Atlanta and weigh like 1/2 an oz each. Fiberglass with high temp epoxy resin.
and I can powder coat suspension parts pretty cheap, sooo easy to clean!

Thanks guys for the info and encouragement. Lots of little things to do but I just keep plugging away at it. I do need that brake shoe locating block. Not sure what to call it other than it bolts to the rear backing plate and the top of the rear shoes pivot against it. Found one and asked Jeff about the other side. He says its there but I just can't find it. I will ask Dr. Earp Monday when he gets back from Roebling. Unless one of you guys have a junker you can grab one off of. Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest to source and hold you up the most.

Favorite tool to remove undercoating---- A curb!
"Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you."
If you do still need it I have it sitting on my dining room table.
