chinaelephants Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I really enjoy looking at other members builds so I thought I would shear mine. 05/1970 240z rb20det + gearbox front mount Boost Controller full new polyurethane bushes adjustable tokico Illuminas shocks / springs adjustable camber front -soon for the back new passenger side floor and other rust cut out. New seats Momo Steering wheel Speed hut gauges tacho has a progressive shift light. Speedo is electrical Rust free 260z doors and internals Rota rb 17” Cusco rear strut brace – really good J larger sway bars Other stuff im sure. oh and +1 for the A.C.T boys Quote
NZeder Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I have those speedhut gauges also - can't wait to get the car back and install these as they look classic but with modern internals etc and the fonts are close to the original look also. How easy was it to install in the standard location? Quote
C.A.R. Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Interesting rear end treatment... Good luck with the rest of the build Quote
stevo_gj Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Oops you have gauges, not gauge faces, my bad Quote

How easy was it to install in the standard location? not to hard the speedo needed a new sender from a 240sx and the tacho sender for the rb is from the ecu Quote

chris240 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Welcome to another Canberran...I think we missed your early posts. Was your suspension work done at Howard Revell Steering in Fyshwick by any chance ? What suburb are you in ? chris. Quote
chinaelephants Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 Cheers Chris yep Howard Revell Steering did some of the work wasn't over the moon with it considering they missed a bent stub axel giving the rear wheel -2 camber and toe in some what that having been said they did really good work on another one of my cars. while im here might post the new air filter the old one needed the ic piping to be pulled to clean and boy did it need a clean so in the sprit of procrastinating doing uin work i changed it. in the photo my assistant/old man Quote
