I have a Borg Warner T-5 that is going in this summer as soon as I find a reasonable condition R-200 diff with the right gears (3.83 or 3.90). I am also going to replace the front and rear control arms with custom built ones from Techno Toy tuning. Last, I am strongly considering stroking one of the spare F54 blocks (from a 280zx) in August because I always wanted 230 + hp in this Z. Thanks for asking. I am sure I am leaving out stuff, but this is a representative list. |
Kewl Z onze. I traded my extrememly modded 76 280z this year. I had replaced bushings with poly bushings, lowered 1 1/2", had custom Bonspeed rims with Kuhmo tires. Roll bar, custom gauges, battery in trunk. I swapped in a 406ci SBC with trick flow heads, edelbrock fuel injection and nitrous, turbo 350 trans. I put in a safety fuel cell, race kirkey race seats and 5 point 3" harnesses. The body was custom with molded body kit including rear wheel wells, a custom cowl induction hood and roof scoop. Oh h/p 400 on engine only, 500 with NOS.

Analyzing on how to lower the tips of my F.I. so I can fit the EVO-R rear valance.

(Depending on how many washers you decide to add, you may need longer bolts) |
Yep, wat Luna said. :)
Motored my Z again today and had a great time. :p I think all the lowend bozo's were still asleep from heavy drinking and so roads were clear from those dumbarses that drive slow on sunny days and fast on rainy crap days. :D |
Quote:
However, what I was analyzing is since the F.I. sits close to the ground. I was thinking if in the future I decide to lower the car if is going to scrape and damage the F.I. :confused: |
Yah, that unit is close to the ground. I gave my fujimura rear valance about 7-8mm clearance. No issue with melting but I don't track the car..
|
Looked at it and thought about going for a drive, but then I remembered I've been drinking since I woke up.

Good luck with your search. |
cleaned her before work. drove to work
raged that she is dirty again. and even more raging because of amuse. it has been like 5-6 months since they "shipped" my vestito kit. we called them. their response? "oh yeah we have no idea where it is". I would think if they are sending a 5000+ dollars shipment that they would put some decent tracking on it. |

ouchh |
I know.
I can understand a delay because of the whole tsunami thing. but they said a month and half to 2 months for the shipping. now we are at month 6 I think. then they go that they don't know where it is. so yeah I will probably kill somebody if its lost. |
best of luck witht that man...
hopefully it all works out... |
yeah I hope so too.
well they did offer a replacement. but then they went "LOL PAY THE SHIPPING AND SEND BACK THE OTHER ONE IF IT ARRIVES AND PAY DAT SHIPPING TOO" the guy that works on my car was not amused |
WHAT? They want you to pay for both sets of shipping?? What vendor are you working through to get your kit?
Sorry to hear about your troubles man! |
guy that works on mah car.
he is dealing with amuse directly. He is trying his best to get them to ship it for free. Now they are discussing with their shipping division. He is royally pissed off. He is all " I have been dealing with japanese companies for over 10 years and I never had this happen to me. Air ship this bitch yo" guy is epic though. only official HKS dealer in belgium http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...n/HKStom-1.jpg |
and i thought weighting a week for an exhaust was bad...
|
going to do the Z's oil change later this pm. :)

I drove my 240 to my office today -- the first time in months. I forgot the noise and smell of it -- I missed her. Anyone with noise complaints on the 370, come on out to Sac for a ride and you will think your 370 is a Caddy.
Have a great day. :tup: |
well.... ok, I dropped my Z off at my installer. Getting the b-pillars, front black bumper trim, and kick plates 3M Scotchprinted CF, then getting hood 22" clear bra'd..... (yes, I decided to do that). Wish me luck... (I'm nervous about the 22" :()
Also, I may decide not to do the fenders.... since it's pretty hidden from the front face anyways... |

I scared myself with the Z today lol
I have previously drifted into sharp turns before with the Z if I stepped on it will making the turn in 2nd...not a huge drift, just slide into the turn (same thing that happens if I use too much tire shine and go out for the first 5 minutes lol) So this morning I say, hmm, what kind of slide could I get with the VDC off :ugh2::shakes head: HA, I go full sideways practically, correct myself and continue on. Its 7:30am, so not many cars on the road where I turned but I'm sure the 2 cars on the opposite side were like "WTF is wrong with this guy" or "He has too much power" lol Anyways, interesting...I'll leave the VDC on for the time being or just not make stupid turns |

car looks awesome

Although I drive my car daily, it doesn't take away from the fact that I do take it to lapping days. It serves a purpose, and it happens to look cool. :tup: |
It also gives the insurance company enough to delay/deny your claim if you ever hit something :-/
|
what do you mean?
