  1. I guess it just depends on how much horse power you will have but I presume the Supra box should handle a mild V8. As for the tail shaft/diff flange I can't help you there. Not sure what was used on my car. Coil overs are the go. Gives you more flxibility on the suspension and allows for wider wheels. But be careful with the shockers if you lover the car by a few inches as they will bottom out unless you modify the spacing on them as well or get shorter ones. There are plenty different brake combo's you can go for. Cheers
  2. G'day Pete, I have a chev in my Zed in Melbourne with extensive mods to it. I still have the old engine mounts which simply bolt the chev connecting to the original Zed engine mounts. If you want you can have them for $250-. Nothing special but all set up ready to go with the engine moved back around 5". A massive difference to it's handling with it back so far. I have since mad up some different ones to allow more space for the extractors. Rear end is twin turbo 300ZX half shafts to handle the power. Also a R200LSD. The gear box is a Tremic which handles 700HP. But prior to this I have a Commodore T5 which wasn't bad but wouldn't handle my current power. The Tramic box is huge and weighs a ton so you need to enlarge the tunnel to accomodate it. It's a big and expensive job but if you want to do it properly but worth it if you like a fast car. Good luck.

    Big hole in roof

    Yeah I agree guys. I got the roof cheap from Zworx. He just cut it off at the pillars so the option to weld in the whole roof was there. Would have been a big job, but they decided since the original roof was in good condition they might as well just weld in the plate. Remember the $700- $900- was a guide only and did not include the cost of my roof. No harm in getting them to look at it and give you a quote but that's up to you. Filling in a roof is a big deal and yeah more expensive for a 240Z not to mention your whole is bigger than the average "sunroof". So it might be easier to weld in a new roof at the pillars. But thats a big job I would think. If only we thought of these things before we brought the cars. Ha. Good luck.

    Big hole in roof

    Jack, The name of the Panel Beater is Ted Naylor Body Works in Ringwood (Easter Suburbs) their phone number is (03) 9879-2179. My car is still in there finishing some other stuff off. I will be in there this Saturday around 10.30 if you want to see the great job they did filling in my sun roof. Remember my cost was an estimate only and didn't include painting it. I brought a roof for $75- and they cut out the plate, recessed the roof, plonked it on and welded it in. I can tell you know one could pick it. It comes down to quality and dollars. In my experiance for a major job that can make or break your pride and joy don't cut corners and these guys can paint. He has his own booth etc. Cheers

    Big hole in roof

    Jack, I have just had my roof welded in and it came out perfect. If you are in Melbourne I can put you onto one of the best Panel shops to do the perfect job. Check out my V8 260Z shots just posted up on the site. You might be able to see the roof in them. Othersie I can send you some better shots. But I can tell you from getting mine filled in a months ago it can be done to the standard that no one would no unless you told them. Probably cost $700-$900- to be done. My cost was all inclusive of the full respray plus some extra bits. Cheers

    This is a great shot under lights. I might have to come on your next drive to get something similar of my car. Cheers
