Don't worry Mick. You can still get them from the following: http://www.rotaaustralia.com.au/ http://www.option1garage.com.au/NewWheels.htm The wheels we want for flares are sold out though (unless you want white ones). Not coming in for a few months

Rebello's 3.2L package is $15,000. This is for the engine, triples, distributor, HD clutch, race header and dyno tuned. $1000 extra for ITB's. I have an itemized quote from him that tells you exactly what you are paying for. It is very detailed. If you like, i can send it to you, or should I just post it? I don't think he would mind. The secret is in the head porting, not the list of components.

I believe that you need to use them with the weld-in camber plates. Not everyone wants to do that..... Ben's HSD TT coilovers can be used with the original strut mounts. There is a delay right now of a couple of months on the TT's apparently .

I had the same problem. My rear right was closer to 10mm toe in. Everything looked straight underneath. I just got TTT rear adjustable control arms to solve the problem.

This is hilarious. He eventually gets it done (9 parts) but could have saved himself alot of time......

He will have a compression ratio of 7.38 to 1. It will a bit gutless, but still run ok. 25 compression seems way too low even for his setup....... Take the negative feedback and leave it all behind. Nothing much you can do now.

You did nothing wrong Mick. He needs to do some research before he acts rather than lashing out after-the-fact. Tell him that he can always turbo it now with that compression and sell him the L20 turbo you have for sale !!

I think you will struggle to find 10 people that will all want a set of rbx's, right now. Group buy things tend to make me nervous as you only need one person to not follow through and the whole thing goes pear shaped. Timely message as I got my zg flares delivered today.

Welcome. Enjoy the site !

I have a gearbox mount in good condition you can have. It attaches the gearbox to the crossmember. Is this what you are after?

A few years ago, i had almost exactly the same decision to make. I was wanting webers on my L26 (unbored) with stage II cam. 40's or 45's?? All the guys in the USA chatroom (IZCC back then) strongly suggested 40mm, but the calculations with engine displacement and rpm, suggested i could get away with 45's (with smaller chokes). I was only 25 years old and bigger was better, so i went with 45's and regretted the decision. It was great at full throttle, but under part throttle acceleration there was surging / hesitation. I took it back to dyno tuner twice and they couldn't completely get rid of it. The car drank like a fish and I had all of this un-driveability for just 94rwkw. Webers ended up coming off. I will only ever put triples on a road car now if its going on a reasonably hot engine (compression, porting), otherwise your small gains will not be worth the headaches. But, if you have your heart on them, go for the 40's !! My 2cents....

Very reasonably priced 2+2 in Vic. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1975-Datsun-260z-2-2-coupe-/260679825171?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item3cb1ba7713

I found this on ebay US site. Complete RB25det packages for the S30. Not cheap, but good exchange rate makes it very tempting. Not the best feedback rating though. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RB25DET-completely-installed-your-Datsun-280ZX-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5190c5f567QQitemZ350321243495QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

There is a nice one for sale on ebay at the moment, with a starting price of $85. It is the same style spoiler as the one i put on my car. Not too low, so less anxiety about having it ripped off by gutters and speedhumps.

Good luck with the build Simon.

It had leaned slightly for years (probably due to worn springs). When I upgraded springs to new King Springs, it still was leaning at the right rear by an even greater amount. This was making the front left sit up a little also due to a see-saw effect, but the problem was with the rear. What I recently found out when I changed the old strut inserts (as a possible remedy) was that the rear left new Kings spring had not seated correctly in the spring perch. This was making the left sit higher than the right!! I noticed during installation the rear King Springs were a very tight fit at the rear in the perches. Fronts were fine. I am surprised no one else has documented this with Kings. Anyway, I had to get the grinder out and grind down the spring ends to ensure a correct seat into the perch. Not happy about having to do this and possibly alter the spring somehow, but it has solved the problem. Sitting flat now....

You will find that they will be too close to the spring perch and probably hit it at the rear. If you use 15-25mm wheel adapters / spacers, then you should be ok depending on tyre width. Aim for a lower offest of zero to +15 (max) for rims of that width.

If you can't modify the wheel cap to fit, you could just leave it off all together and paint the cap on the hub black or silver.

I texted him and he is asking for $29,000....

Did the paint shop ask what finish you were after?? Yes, you don't need clear, but if you want a really high gloss finish, then you will need it, especially on lighter coloured cars. I think it looks great in white. Nice, sharp and clean.....

Don't want to hijack the thread. Just a question on lowering spring perches...... I understand how this lowers the car, but i can't see how that would retain travel of the shock. The shock would still be travelling in a lower position and more likely to bottom out, just like lowered springs, right? I thought sectioning the struts was the only fix. BTW, i have Kings Springs. Part Numbers - KDFL-08 progressive (Front) and KDRL-09 linear (Rear) on sectioned tokico illunina struts (it was bottoming out). Bought springs on ebay for $300 a set. On 17" rims, the ride is quite harsh. Much better with my old 14" rims.

I recently put these on the front of my zed: http://www.zccjdm.com/catalog.php/azcarbum/dt93255/pd1789104/CAMBER__BUMP_STEER_SPACER_ZCAR_ Kills two birds with one stone and as you can see there is lots of negative camber.

Looking good Mick What measurements did you make to determine your front end is out??

You know your Zed is becoming valuable when other cars are made to look like it..... A 180SX with a 240Z body kit for sale in the UK http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-180SX-240Z-200SX-MINT-NO-SWAP-PX-RARE-/300464066666?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item45f50dd06a
