BenZed Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 I'll be listing parts I have lying around in my warehouse on this thread. Quote
BenZed Posted June 5, 2009 Author Posted June 5, 2009 Here I have the wheels from my project car. They are Magnums, made in Australia by Samson Engineering. They are very old, most likely dealer-fitted. I'm not sure of the size but it looks like 14x6. Good condition overall, light gutter scrapes on the edges but nothing to worry about. They have good tyres too, 205/60 front and rear. One pair is Falken Ziex, about 60% tread, the others are Yokohamas, about 90% tread. $200 for the set. Maybe a cheap way out if you need tyres for rego Still available! Quote
BenZed Posted July 9, 2009 Author Posted July 9, 2009 Here are a pair of front guards for a 240Z. I was going to use them on my car, so I had rust repair panels welded in and they have been hi-filled. At the last minute I decided to fit fibreglass guards so they have been sitting in the shed since then. They need a bit of a tidy-up before you fit them but they are pretty good overall. When I did a trial fit they were a bit wrong at the bottom edge (probably due to the shape of the rust repair panel) so you may want to do a bit of work to make sure they'll fit perfectly before you paint them. With this in mind they are going cheap at $200 the pair, which is less than I paid for the repairs and hi-fill. Still available! Quote
BenZed Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 Steering coupler (replaces the rubber coupler in the steering column) for 240Z or 260Z. Made by G Machine in Florida. $20 express posted anywhere in Australia. ***SOLD*** Quote
BenZed Posted July 27, 2009 Author Posted July 27, 2009 Rota RB 16x8 +4 wheels, set of four as-new (no marks of any kind) with Silverstone S-575 semi-slick tyres in 210/625 size (similar to 215/50, not road-legal). The tyres are also near-new, only about 15-20 laps of Wakefield on them. Basically you're getting new wheels with free tyres because I'm asking $1000 for the set. These can be picked up from Ingleburn or freight by TNT as follows: NSW, VIC, QLD $80 SA $100 TAS $110 WA, NT $140 ***SOLD*** Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted August 4, 2009 Moderators Posted August 4, 2009 Hey Ben, would these wheels clear standard spring/struts on a 240Z? Not running coilovers and just need to know if they will fit. Thanks Quote
BenZed Posted August 5, 2009 Author Posted August 5, 2009 Hey Ben, would these wheels clear standard spring/struts on a 240Z? Not running coilovers and just need to know if they will fit. Thanks Yes they do. The only catch is you can't fit the front centre caps, though you could trim down the tabs and glue the caps on if you wanted. Quote
BenZed Posted January 6, 2010 Author Posted January 6, 2010 LN105 four-piston calipers (early Landcruiser), bolt-on upgrade for solid front disc brakes on 240Z, 260Z. These are fully reconditioned calipers from Motorsport Auto. Pads and lines are not included, what you see is what you get, $200 including shipping anywhere in Australia. PS 'Heavy Duty' Bendix pads are readily available for these calipers. ***SOLD*** Quote
Riceburner Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Ben are these calipers cast iron or alloy, How do they compare weight wise with 300zx calipers? thanks Quote
C.A.R. Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Cast Steel. They are a lot heavier than the Nissan 4-spot calipers... Quote
sco_aus Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 But they do bolt directly on, no fucking about and do brake better than standard. Plus if you use vented rotors, its a good setup. Quote
Mr Camouflage Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Note: These ones don't fit vented rotors. These are the solid disc variety. Quote
BenZed Posted January 6, 2010 Author Posted January 6, 2010 Actually you can get vented rotors from Kameari to fit these. They make them to fit inside the Historic Racing rules for Japan. Bad news is they're $900 a pair in Japan hehe Quote
twosixty Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Cast Steel. They are a lot heavier than the Nissan 4-spot calipers... Hilux calipers were about 5.1 kg unloaded. Datto sumitomos were about 4.4 loaded. Quote
RB30X Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 I just sent two 260Z sumitomos front calipers away and they were just over 6kgs. Quote
kalium Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 We're talking about a few litres of fuel weight difference. I guess it could matter if it's a race car..... Quote
sco_aus Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Its the suspension that is effected most by it though, response etc Quote
Sirpent Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Ben PM sent regarding calipers on behalf of OldZMan Quote
BenZed Posted January 7, 2010 Author Posted January 7, 2010 Sorry everyone, the calipers have been sold already. Quote

BenZed Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 Ok here's something you won't see every day. I have an L20ET engine from a GC211 Skyline. That's a 6-cylinder L20 with factory fuel injection and turbo. The car it cam out of had only 71730km on the clock. I've attached a pic of it still in the car. It appears to be a reasonable thing, not leaky and comes with a clutch. Unfortunately the distributor is missing for some reason and there is no loom or ECU but the rest of the injection system seems intact. The turbo doesn't have too much shaft play so it's probably fine. With an electronic dizzy and aftermarket ECU it should be easy enough to get this going, or you might want to swap the bits onto a larger L-series instead. Price is $750, cheap freight available too contact me for prices. Quote
Sirpent Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Hi Used to have one of these in my Zed, and I have a spare dizzy sitting around. Cheers John Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted March 8, 2011 Moderators Posted March 8, 2011 Is the distributor drive the spline and tongue type or standard L series tongue? Been toying with the idea of a turbo.. Quote
BenZed Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 Hi Used to have one of these in my Zed, and I have a spare dizzy sitting around. Cheers John Is the dizzy any different to a 280ZX one? Quote
