peter mc Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 hi Gareth i will need your extractors as they will need a bit of work Quote
Riceburner Posted December 30, 2010 Author Posted December 30, 2010 I finally did the amp/fuel gauge to volt/fuel gauge swap in the dash, was straight foward. Thanks Dimitri Also fitted some TP Mangna vented rotors and fully rebuilt Hilux S12+8 calipers to the front end, this required 260z hubs to give correct offset and no spacers were used. I had to replace all seals in the calipers so I separated/stripped them down and machined out the rotor groove from 22mm to 27mm. Bolted back together and fitted new pads. YAY, no more brake fade......... I hope! I color matched all calipers and rotor hubs to car color, which look pretty sweet I think Last was the easiest, just put a badge on the rear spoiler and color matched some of Lurch's top notch metal work. Just wanted it to look ok until final repairs/paint are done. Quote
kolonelklink Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 looks great! i'm glad these calipers worked out for you Quote
Riceburner Posted January 2, 2011 Author Posted January 2, 2011 looks great! i'm glad these calipers worked out for you Thanks to you too Pete, This forum has been a great source of friendship and information Quote
Riceburner Posted January 2, 2011 Author Posted January 2, 2011 I am tossing up getting an new set of extractors as the new ones were on my parts car when I got it and maybe arent up to the new engines capabilities. Feeback wanted........ Peter Mc especially??? New Header dimensions are 42.7mmx6, 45mmx2, 60mmx2. First pic is the current set. Second is the new set. Quote
kolonelklink Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 out of curiousity what pad did you end up using with those calipers? did you have any clearance issues with the insulating spacers (as discussed)? -pete Quote
Riceburner Posted January 2, 2011 Author Posted January 2, 2011 I'm running an RX-7 club sport pad from Project Mu. Was a few weeks old but went straight in, only thing I did previously was redrill pin holes in the pad backing plate to get pad material in the correct spot. If you compare the pad to a regular hilux 12+8 the pad and backing plate material is actually set deeper on the RX-7 pad. Other than that they will fit. Quote
Riceburner Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 I shot a little vid of the car earlier today, will do another one once i have the new motor in. Quote
FrankenZed Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Just had a quick read through the thread. Love it! Makes me want to paint my zed white. Quote
luvemfast Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Nice little vid, think that we should all do similar Quote
RB30X Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Nice little vid, think that we should all do similar Might be something wrong with youtube, it didn't show any in car footage or burnouts? Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted January 6, 2011 Moderators Posted January 6, 2011 Might be something wrong with youtube, it didn't show any in car footage or burnouts? Hahaha...or a shot of a speedo showing 200kph.... Quote
Riceburner Posted January 22, 2011 Author Posted January 22, 2011 I'm trying to decide which spoiler to go with and I can't make up my mind. The current large fibreglass one is nice but I have a rare JDM spoiler which is a little unique, each week I seem to change my mind and would like some opinions. It's the same style as on 'boomers' 240z in the introdution section. Do you guys think it'll make any change to the hadling/downforce on track? Quote
Riceburner Posted February 15, 2011 Author Posted February 15, 2011 Did a few changes last week, New front end look. It's a rare JDM spoiler and the bumper has been removed, looks more menacing and classic at the same time. With the help of my bro we color matched front and rear spoilers and the rear light surround using BMW087 metallic gunmeatal. I may refit the bumper, but it's not quite true and pushes the left gaurd/headlight bucket inward. It's always been a little wonky from accident by previous owner. Had some goodies arrive in the mail, big and small. The big, my Ignition Dragon Headers, equal length primaries and all in STAINLESS Oh Yeah! Pretty please Peter can you match port these to the head (they are 35x41.5mm roughly atm) The small was a water restrictor from the late, great Don Potter... It's welded into the t/stat housing outlet and used with 190t/stat and deisel water pump it provides maximum cooling and optimum temp for the engine. These were used in the Bob Sharp racers in this configuration Quote
Riceburner Posted February 15, 2011 Author Posted February 15, 2011 I'm hoping to get a similar look to the front end of this JDM racer, maybe even modifying the radiator grill to this sort of look, which will aid cooling efficiency. Here's the water restrictor too. Quote
peter mc Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 very cool just got your cam and new lifters the cam is a custom grind to suite the head and when can i have the pipes will have the head finished next week Quote
Riceburner Posted February 15, 2011 Author Posted February 15, 2011 Awesome! Do you or anyone know if this is an off the shelf flange for exhaust shops? It's the flange on the Dragon Headers.. Quote
peter mc Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 wont be a problem will find you one no problem Quote
Riceburner Posted March 3, 2011 Author Posted March 3, 2011 Here's the 4.3kg billet flywheel, it's crazy light Did someone say... throttle response? Quote
