good call on cleaning the master out. clutch fluid in the eyes hurts, hurts alot. take care.

id say if you have a rust free car its worth fixing. beef it up wail you are at it.

do you need a bigger master?

i went to the wed site and i couldn't find where this plate was. maybe im just bad at looking. jon...

im in the middle of the vh swap as well. i put 240sx rear irs in i would choose it over the q45 rear end becasue its a couple inches narower. but the 240 sx width is still a couple inches wider than stock Z. i think the only way to get the front of the q45 in to a z would be to widen the frame rails by about 6 inches(thats jsut a guess ive neverbothered to mesure) and to make the upper control arms of the Q45 work properly you would have to add some frame rails and to do that you would then have to widen the strut towers. its almost seams like it would be easyer to cut the whole front of the Q off and weld it on the fire wall of the z and then tapcon the fenders back on. it seams like alot of weight. if you were to put the Q suspension the one thing to consider is roll centers and to match them properly sub frame to subframe. its one thing getting them in there. but another getting them to work right. my personal opinion is keep front end of the Z car -Z car to do the mods evin if you did them very right you would still end up with something that lookes very frankenstien . (BTW. the cats stay on and the engine comes out the bottom tranny and all. should take about 4.5 hours) take alook at my members photo page to see how i did the rear end. if i were to do it again i would chang a couple things but thats another story .

double flare in bubble flare will leak. and vise versa???? jon...

hey looks cool heres my take on the project. http://album.hybridz.org/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=12917 jon...

i have a complete 240sx rear irs im puting a Q45 VH45DE in my 280 and im pretty shure 99% that the rear brakes will bolt up the same i havent gotten the q45 apart yet. but i think its the same. the only thing might be trouble is brake disc offset. Jon...

ive driven a fiero for 4 years and been working as a tech at a bmw delarship for about 4 years as well. and i say the two shouldent mix. if you want a fast fiero put a 3800 sc in it. if you want a relly expensive and relly rare fiero i say go for it. as for trannys porsch rear transaxle might be a choice. you would need to build a new bell housing? id rather put the effort towards my Z. jon...

i had a shower and thought about for a bit i get what you were saying about castor change. prety much what im going to have to do is rebuild every thing. but one of the next things i want to do i get the car to my work and put it on the rack and do a alignment just so i can see if the dang thing will go straight. this set up will do enough for test porposes. ive sloted the kmember that very nicely gets rid of bump steer but it also raises the front rool center quite a bit. i think once i get my engine test fit im goign to make a k member that adjusts the control arm height but also can move the rack up down forward and backward. for a truely adjustable front end.

ya i agree. after seeing it all together i think i prolly end up rebuild the arms. it never clued in to me up to the point when i was welding the arms up that with the 240sx rear it is a couple inches wider in the back. so im going to end up makeing new longer arms to match the width in the rear. and i agree the tc arm looks to short but i think it looks shortter than it is. because it mounts to the control arm ferther in board. and the amount of frame behind the "tc box". im no expert but whats a bad castor sweep. my understanding is that once set with this desighn castor would be the same no matter what the static legnth of the arm. jon...

im just put my front end together for the first time last weeked and got the car on its owne weight for the first time in a year. this is mt take n the sloted tc box. http://album.hybridz.org/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=12917 jon... let me know what you guys think.
