My brake pedal was also rock hard some times and it seemed like it was only the front wheels braking. The problem on my car was the rear brake proportioning valve that was more or less blocked. I removed the valve function so it is just a connection point now and installed a external proportioning valve. That solved my problem, but perhaps your problem are different.

You should contact Techno Toy Tuning or Silvermine Motors, I am sure they will help you with a great 5 lug setup.
For the rear brakes you can also buy 5 lug conversion hub stub axles from Silvermine Motors and just redrill the drums for 5 lug. I did that before I installed disc brakes.

Thanks, the ground clearance from the frontspoiler are 150 millimeters and with speed bumps and bad roads i need this.The tire circumference are encreased 2% compared to my old tires,
No coilovers just my old original springs.
I like a little rough ride, but it is almost the same feeling or better than with my old 18 inch wheels.

I am an older Norwegian 240Z owner since 1983.. I have had several wheels started with 14" went to 16" then 18" and now to 20" wheels. My old brakes was the toyota/300zx setup and stock in rear.
So this was my winter project, and I just want to show you some different solutions.
The front brake system are 370Z akebono calipers and the front disc's ,5 lug hubs and rear brake kit are from Gabriel at Techno Toy Tuning. He helped me alot with front disc's selection.
The caliper brakets are my own AutoCad design and has an extra front support for more stability as i moved the calipers to the front side of the struts.
Wheels are Work Gnosis HS203 20x9, offset -15mm, senterbore 73,1mm, bolt pattern 5x114,3 mm ordered by Leo at Vivid racing
5 lug Rear hubs are from Edan at Silver Mine Motors. No need for spacers. Tires are Ling Long 235/30-20.
The Calipers from Conceptz Performance. I needed to do some modificatons to fit the calipers to the hub/discs.
This setup are performing very well for street use,
No need for changing the brake master cylinder, my stock works perfect, i have really good pedal.
Most Carbon Fiber parts are from Freddy at Topstage Composites. Pictures are just from mobile phone so quality are soso..
All this companies and my good car friends really deserve my thanks for all the good help!

Hello from Norway, cheap and simple R160 VLSD installation in 240Z, I hope it is ok to post this here?
Some years ago I bought a Subaru R160 VLSD , cost me 150 usd at Ebay but with shipping to Norway I think it was around 300 usd total,.
Then I had to buy some VLSD axle shafts to modify. Around 150 usd total with shipping.
I used a 240Z old R180 as donor for the axle shaft connection plates to the Subaru diff. splines
- We first measured the distance between the axle shaft installation plates on the R180 donor.
- The r180 spline axle was removed and the plates cut off.
- The Subaru r160 axle shafts was temporary installed in the r160 , we measured where to cut to get exact the same distance between the axle shaft installation plates as on the r180
- The r160 axle shafts were cut off and the splines ,one long and one short was then adapted to the r180 shaft installation plates. A friend did that at his little machine shop.
- Then I just installed some new axle oil seals ,don’t remember the price but very cheap.
- Installed the new splines, filled the diff with oil.
- Removed my old r180 and installed the r160, I think I used 3-4 hours to finish this installation.
- Test driving and it worked well , total cost around 500 usd in Norway, 200-250 usd was just shipping costs. But for me that is a great price and also fun to have done.
Take a look at the pictures also, I am happy if it can help some of you.

Tony D.good luck to get the Koyo Radiadiators direct from Indonesia.
You will probably get a very nice price.
The Price in Norway is about 700$ but i suppose that it will be under tha half in US.

The Koyo radiator is now installed, just a bolt on job, perfect fit.
I used a spare radiator oulet hose and cut of the short bend and used as inlet to radiator.
The radiator is now tested about 400 miles much hard Norwegian up/downhill in up to about 85 degrees fahrenheit (summertime now)
and worked perfect for me no overheating problem at all , like my old 3 row always had.
I got feedback from Koyo International and i think the radiator will soon be avaiable at the US marked.

Koyo Singapore sent me this drawing (attachment) to confirm all the radiator dimension when i was working in China last year.
I had to ask a friend at Nissan here in Kristiansand, Norway to control the dimentions against his original
260Z radiator. He noticed one difference, the water inlet was 90 degrees bend compared to his that was
straight. I comfirmed the dimensions to Koyo and they started the production at the factory in Indonesia.
So my Radiator is one of two in Norway right now.
The price was about the half of what Norwegian manufacturer wanted for a similar radiator.
The Availability in Europe should be ok but i dont know about other part of the world.

Finally i got one.
I received my S30 Koyo radiator today after a lot of e-mails.
I got very good of help from
Mr.Effendy Wong
Koyo International Operations Pte Ltd
Singapore
This is one of 2 imported to Norway by a Norwegian Nissan specialist.
I look forward to install, but will probably have yo work in Singapore for
one month before i have the time to install and see how it fit.
I just wanted to show that Koyo actually made it, but some of you have probably
alredy bought it in US ?

The wheels are RacingHart CX 18x8 +10mm offset
(Tires, Sumitomo 225/40x18) ordered
by a Norwegian dealer with contacts in Japan.
i have original suspension and there is no need for spacers.
i had to do some machine work on the front hubs, the center hole on the wheels where to small in diameter to fit.

Hi, i have a Euro spec L28ET with a ign.module E12-91 installed on
the distributor like on a L28E. My problem is the engine are stopping for a second or longer and i think a new module are needed.
I have searched Z-car shops, but i have only found E12-80 or E12-92 modules.
The E12-91 was never used on us cars? I hope some of you experts
can help me with where to buy this module or who manufactured these
modules?

From this company (streetbeatcustoms) should it be possible to
get z/zx wings and other parts.
Are there anyone with experience from this company ?

Hi texis300. My car is a Norwegian sold car and have Euro spec suspension which i think does the car a little lower than US spec. cars.
I have Koni shocks and urethane bushing and a euro spec L28ET engine. The wheels fits without spacers but the front hubs had to be modified to fit the wheels small diameter center hole. I use the Toyota brake setup with 4 piston calipers and 300zx discs. The car is fun to drive ,
a little rough but feels very stable.

Thanks for your answers. Glad to hear that it is a possible setup, I was very worried about it. We have ony 95 and 98 octane fuel here i Norway.
How is it to tune the engines for 91 octane?

Hi from Norway, i have just installet a L28ET engine in my 240Z because my old L28E had a breakdown .
I did not get the L28ET ecu and harness and have used my old ecu and harness. The engine runs great.
I drive with 98 octane gas and original boost. Is this a hazardous setup for the engine?
regards
Olav
