Hello all, Yet another one 1974 Z in a slow progress project. Gen 4 LSA with Lingenfelter heads, LS 9 cam, 2,4 upper pulley, 180 degree headers, homemade engine mounts and gearbox mount. T56 from a Corvette modified with bell housing, tail from a Camaro, mechanical speedometer, and Magnum mid plate with bigger bearings. Porsche boxster S calipers front and rear BMW f31 disc front rear,Twin master cylinder for balance, front hubs from Nissan S13, rear end from a ZXT and CVs(R200,4:11), Rear homemade control arms 16mm narrower (5/8), new half shafts to match control arms, Steering rack from a UK Vauxhall Corsa/Nova(power steering). Interior will see a cage(not fabricated yet), Cobra Nogaro seats with harness. Wheels are Rota RBs widened in rear to 9,5X17, front narrowed down to 7,5 x17 to get proper scrub radius, tires are Nankaang AR1 225x45-17 front and 255x40-17 rear. BC coil overs.

All the Z iterations can look good with minimal modifications. I personally think the z32 had perfect proportions not surpassed since. So simple but so exact. For this build as all of my builds, I am sticking with stock half shafts and Spicer U-joints. Never had a fail road racing yet. Cheap and effective only if you limit the angles generated and minimal power loss. I currently plan to raise/lower the diff as required to keep them in their sweet spot. They even withstand high power drag racing if you can keep them close to straight when launching. If it looks like I will struggle with this when I final assemble the rear, I will be scrambling for some CVs.
