Hey guys ended up making a few revisions to the jig and made a version 2.0. Got it powder coated and installed the bushing and threw it in the car. Still need to get bushing for the control arms but looks the business with a set of Dave’s chromoly rear arms. still need to also get some m14 read diff studs made up. Standards are m12 so there a bit loose in the bush centres ATM. Thanks Matt

Thanks Jeff. This was the main consideration in my design, the lack of spring that is seen in the original bar. I’m pretty confident in the restraints of the member for countering the thrust force from the diff under acceleration and braking. Utilising the drop down bolts of the original moustache bar and the bolts of the drop down links using the flat plate means there is absolutely no give in unit, but that’s only giving it the old He-man test. The other thing I though of whilst making it is that the front diff member is just as susceptible to the thrust force from

Thanks Mate. Yup cos race car, car is solely designed for tarmac rally events but will also see the odd track day. If I even finish the bloody thing. Thanks.

Hey Guys Thought id upload some photos of a little side project I’ve been working on while assembling my Z. Had the idea one day to combine the rear drop down suspension cradle and moustache bar after realising how weak the standard items are and not being a real fan of the agricultural looking aftermarket solutions or the design of the standard moustache bar for that matter. I looked to the modern WRX’s which also run the r180’s and decided to use the bush out of the mid 2000’s WRX. had some sleeves machined up to suit and build a jig around the standard items.

Bump, still available. Thanks Matt

Thanks for the replies. For anyone else chasing the same part I’ve since discovered that it’s also avaliable from RHDjapans website. Gtz240z I’ve sent you a PM Thanks Matt

Hey guys I’m converting my kameari / harada intake manifold to cable throttle from the old linkage but my manifold didn’t come with the throttle cable pulley. Was just wondering if anyone who stuck with the linkage setup has one sitting around I can buy or if there’s somewhere I can buy one? Can’t seem to find a source online. ive attaches a photo, I’m after the zinc plated pulley that’s pictured on the linkage rod. Thanks Matt

Hey Joesph the shell and the parts remaining off the car are no longer available. Thanks Matt

Hey mate Thanks for that but I’m chasing the later bar not the early straight one. Thanks

Hey guys Chasing a r180 moustache bar to suit the later 240z/260z revised diff position. I’ve got all the other part associated with moving the diff into the later position to straighten the half shafts but still need the moustache bar. Would prefer one in good condition with good bushings if possible. happy to pay for postage Let me know what you’ve got Thanks Matt

Hey guys if I was to cut this shell up for panels just wanting to gauge how much interest there would be in sections? The manual pedal box is also still available if anyone is after one Thanks Matt
