Before rebuilding your block, I'd get some good gauges and determine whether or not you're going to have to rebore it. You'd be spewing if you did all the work and found out that your clearances are out!
-
I don't understand why they would cost so much more than a properly done standard stroke ? I must be missing something. Other than new rods and the crank itself, you're doing everything else with a tough L28 build up no?

If you really want a project, go and talk to '1 fast z' on hybridz about 'making' a DOHC head....

Nice 200ZR

I have zero experience with measuring the effects of different size valves, but I came across an interesting thread on hybridz the other day where a fellow gave Rebello his head with some oversived valves and std Valves, and Rebello opted to put in the std size intake and 1mm oversize exhaust.

Hi Guys, I should probably just call around a bit and find out myself (I know squat about tyres), but I'm wondering if the cost/lack of choice of say 15" tyres is a real turn off to having 15" wheels, opposed to say 17" ? Looking on tirerack.com in the states there seems to be plenty out there for 15" and at a decent price. We're not in the states though.... Cheers

Err, you mean a gearbox mount? As shown here... http://www.prestoimages.net/store/graphics02/1863_pd1014194_1.jpg

Yep, I tried them a few months ago and they weren't interested. :-(

Old Zed's are not fun as daily drivers. Being stuck in heavy traffic a few times a week, you will soon grow to hate them.
-
Can you tell me about the R160? Cheers
-
Just won a Subaru 3.9 LSD :)
kalium replied to sexual_sushi's topic in Brakes / Drivetrain Components
Hmm, R160s don't fit under a zed I'm guessing ? -
I hope you sectioned those bad boys while you had them out ?
-
Exactly. Better deal than what the older R200s go for I reckon. (plus you save about 10kg with the R180 )
-
I'm not sure about a Zed either, but AFAIK, a silvia esque R180 is a 27 spile, as is a WRX STI. A regular WRX LSD is a 25 spline. I'm pretty sure that a zed is neither a 25 or 27.
-
That's why I had question marks after my statements :-p I think I've seen the WRX R180 diffs go for around $500'ish, and you can buy the side axles from the states for about $280 a pair.
-
Really? For a 25+ year old diff that needs further modding to work? You could get a newer R180 from a WRX with the mods for a zed for close to that..no ?

looks hawt

Wanting to move out of home and share with someone
kalium replied to K240z's topic in Off Topic Discussions
Hah. reminds me of when I moved out of home. At one time, between us all we must have owned at least 5 or 6 zed cars ! -
If you're chopping the struts, I think you need a mod plate in QLD
-
Wow, kind of tempting. Are all of the elctrics there? Guards are fixed I assume ?
-
Is it just me or does that first photo make it look a lot like a 180 SSS ?!
-
It's worth what you're willing to sell it for. If his car is worth $30k to him, it's worth $30k. If you can't offer him less and still walk away with the car, then it's not worth less than $30k. Whether someone will pay $30k is a completely different question. The 'worth' of something is not always the same as how many $$ you could actually get for it on any given day.

I really like those 3 spoke formuling wheels. -
We're talking about a few litres of fuel weight difference. I guess it could matter if it's a race car.....

yeah so buy a clapped out Z31, it'll be an investment....a rusty and ugly investment
