Administrators gav240z Posted May 3, 2016 Administrators Share Posted May 3, 2016 Ahh yes I recall this car, it was in Tasmania with a V8 in it and some horrid looking rear light modification. Good luck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.A.R. Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) Welcome Joe. and shown are my new engine and tranny, r30 5speed from a turbo r30, and an l28et out of a 280zx. That's actually a wide ratio, series 2 Bluebird gearbox. FWIW an R30 Skyline gearbox is a 'short box' & won't fit a in a Z.

nat0_240_chevZ Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 What size are the rims on it? They match the ones on my race car Also look like my v4s similar dish too... These ones 16"? Maybe 16x 9 or 16 x10s with 16x8 up front? Just a guess, as mine are 9 rear with 7" fronts. I too would be interested to know. Nat0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
