But did you have to buy new AZC brackets to hold parking brake calipers?

How much did the parking brake cost from the additional $800 for rear brake kit?

How about making a 240z CF style dash that works for all s30z cars. Just make seperate brackets to work for 260z and 280z. Obiously they would have to remove heater console.

Interested. I've been talking to you 05plsrt4. I'll be looking into this forum and see if AZC works.

Docaam, haha nice. Thanks. Will give it a go. Thanks for your help.

He's definately running 15" wheels. To get that low and stretch those tires. Nice car, thanks for sharing.

If you can get a hold of PDK fabrications in Socal, which currently make 240z fiberglass dashes and have them make it in carbon fiber. They can make it in CF becuase they did sell some around 2003-2005. If we can get a group large enough to get those in production then 240z guys have found their source.

2 questions: What kind of seats are those and how are you able to retain nardi horn button in place? My horn button keeps spinning. Though, really really nice car.

Yup, it ran fine. I guess I'm going to take it down to sunrise z or a z specialist here in SoCal to have them check. If the block seems to be the problem I guess I will throw in an L28.

70-73 240z carbon fiber dash.

Nope, fixed that problem.

Checked blow by at idle at operating temperature, no smoke or air pressure.

Meant to say "if you don't want 50 sidewall." @Rebekah, they came out with Dunlop z2 225 45 16 just this year. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Dunlop&tireModel=Direzza+ZII&partnum=245WR6Z2 I will be running these on front on 9" wide wheel. Later down the road will run on all 4 and stretch the rear on 9.5". I've heard and read great reviews on the z1.

Not long. It never turned off on me. I just drove the car twice while hot. While the temperature was high I never drove more than 1 mile per day while the temperature was 7/8 on meter.

Hey, I just bought 245 45 16 fuzion zr1 for my watanabe wheels. They are still available if you want 50 sidewall, don't know about performance as of yet.

Forgot to mention I have a bigger than stock cam, its 470 lift 280 duration.

Thanks Domzs, Will check tomorrow and report back.

"How much blow by do you have ? Check crank case pressusre . Have you done a block test , since it ran hot twice ?" I am sorry, dont know how to do the three suggestions you gave me. Let me do a search online.

Hi, I keep posting topics here, but this one is a big mystery to me. I have a 100,000 mile block and I just did a mild head build with new cam, port match, etc... Well 2 weeks ago I had my car parked at work for a long shift and when I finished I drove off home, as I get 1 mile from home the temperature gets past 7/8 on the stock Datsun water temp gauge. As I get home I saw that there was not water in radiator. I filled it back up, checked again back in the morning before the drive to school. I lost water and car goes back to 7/8 temperature on gauge before heading home. I further inspected my car and saw that someone had slashed my lower radiator hose with a razor. I fixed the lower radiator hose, but now my car runs like crap. It idles at 550-600 and sometimes back to 850(regular idle), huge gas mileage loss and big power loss. I checked the compression and I get (1)110 (2)105 (3)107 (4)105 (5)110 (6) 105. Wet compression test: 1 (140) 2 (170) 3(180) 4 (210) 5(180) 6(170) I was really disappointed, but the only positive outcome out of this is that the compression holds. I checked to see if my timing chain jumped a notch but it didn’t. At TDC I’m still aligned with cam tower and cam at 2 on gear. My compression numbers are not a typo. The car runs, but it’s very underpowered. I did a rebuild on head 300 miles ago along other part upgrades. I need your help to see what the problem could be. The car does not smoke. I don’t have the compression numbers before rebuild, but was something I was going to do, but unfortunately this had to happen. Anything I can check to pin point problem? The car ran great after rebuild, except it needed timing to be synced.

Man, you have door dings. I hate how some people have no respect of other vehicles parked next to them. They open there door and Wam!. Nice car, I have those same dings. Hope you can fix her up to look extra clean.

So shipped to California for rb30block is $400-$500?

Great, at least I emphasized how loud it was and got nothing back as Not normal. So I guess it filtered down as clsd "chatter". Thanks for the help!

I'm not familiar with LSD chatter, but man it is Loud! I would be embarrassed if I had to drive a date around town.

I've read another post from you Rebekah, same issue. It seems like you used more friction modifier to reduce the symptoms. What friction modifier do you use? Is red line good? I'm thinking of helping him drain some diff fluid and add 2 tubes of red line.

He has Valvoline(dont know what weight) that includes lsd additive and used 1/4 Lucas oil stabilizer. I am posting for him as I have driven his car and he doesnt have a hybridz account yet.
