  2. They were made by RTz. Not sure how often he's on here, but you could send him a PM. If he doesn't get back to you, let me know. I can try and make a drawing of the ones I have.
  3. No. An RT Mount will not support a shortnose R200. It can only support a longnose R200 and R180. Installing a shortnose R200 is a very custom job that requires new front end and rear mounts. It would then also require custom adapters to use the stock axles, or a very custom knuckle to support a different axle.
  4. Do you have a link to what the "carbon fiber vale" you used?
  5. Considering you're in Germany, you might want to give this thread a read. http://forum.retro-rides.org/thread/139679/bmw-m3-powered-240z
  6. Will the Wide ZG Flares not add enough? https://retro-spec.myshopify.com/products/datsun-280z-260z-240z-wide-zg-fender-flares I know a handful of guys on here are running those BAMF flares and they've got some pretty tires too. It would probably be cheaper than anything Rocket Bunny is offering.

  8. While you maybe didn't want to do a full restoration, that's gonna need a lot of work before it's safe to drive.
  9. That's not mine. But you should run an airdam if you're actually going to race the car. Front end lift isn't your friend.
  10. Because 15's are lighter and 17's are flashier. Most people want one or the other, and choosing a middle option usually doesn't get you want you actually want and is a compromise that isn't worth it.
  11. That's the stock brake backing plate with a tube welded on.
  12. While not 100% of what you're looking for, the XXR 537 are pretty close. I don't think they make them anymore, but some places still have some left over. https://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-537-Wheels-s/2086.htm
  13. It's a new master cylinder. Unless someone has a specific review of it being bad, I would not assume it's going to be bad.
  14. If you're still running the stock calipers, the 7/8's is perfectly fine. But if you've upgraded to the Toyota S12W's or a larger Wilwood/Whatever brand that will take more fluid, the 7/8's is more than likely not going to be enough.
  15. That Toyota master cylinder would actually be the main reason to do this swap. Not having to rely on the remaned 15/16th bore 280zx master cylinders which have a history of failure and difficulty getting, or the Wilwood 1" master cylinder which have ALSO failed a few times on some of our members (Miles can chime in here). The Wilwood is also currently going for $152 (https://zcardepot.com/brake-master-cylinder-1-wilwood-240z-260z-280z.html), so it seems like you'd actually come out ahead by going the Toyota route if you're switching to larger brakes and need more fluid to pump through the brake system.
  16. It's worth a shot to ask. Worst they say is no, then I'd just open in the store and measure it, then return it before I left.
  17. Unfortauntely the lovely people who run Pick'n'pull near me get rid of a single row of vehicles every day at random, and they just so happen to pick the row with the ONLY Tacoma in the entire lot on that day, so I missed out on checking it. I'm thinking about just buying one at Autozone or something and taking all the measurements and then just bringing it back.
  18. Option 3: Sell it! That's pretty good condition. Not perfect, but better than what a lot of people are rolling around with. Option 4: Paint it! It won't be shiny chrome, but primer can fill in a lot of those imperfections, and then you don't need to worry about chroming anything.
  19. Yes, the cat should come directly after the headers. Having one flex pipe is good, but you shouldn't need any more than that if you mount your exhaust to your frame/whatever with rubber exhaust hangers.
  20. Go to your local community and sign up for a welding class. They usually aren't that expensive are incredibly valuable for a person with no experience welding. Afterwards you'll have a skill.
  21. I don't think that's the same differential housing that the Camaro uses.
  22. If you already have the crank out, why not balance it? There's a place near me that only charges 70 dollars to do that. If you're going high horsepower, isn't that a nice assurance to have for pretty cheap.
