    Selling 1972 Datsun 240z project car. This car needs paint and assembled. I have been collecting parts for almost twenty years. I have thousands of dollars in NOS parts and aftermarket parts.

Comes with os giken twin disk clutch, ati crank pulley and blitz tuned ecu. all coolant line are braided stainless st...

    My name is Jayson, and I've been working on a 1977 280Z for a while now. I noticed on the "Wheel Show!" thread that you had the exact wheels I was eyeing, and I wanted to know if you could fit the 17" x 9" 5Zigen wheels in the stock wells. I currently have the complete set of Arizona Z car suspension parts front and back (including coilovers), along with the 5-lug disc brake conversion and big slotted 13" front rotor with 4-pots on all wheels. Dave at Arizona Z Car said the 5-lug conversion adds .5" space to the front and .75" to the back.

     

    I want to put the 5Zigen FN01R-C 17x9 wheels with +35 offset at all 4 corners , on 245 tires. Do you think this setup could work with the 280? Will I need to roll the fenders? I'm going to keep the stock fender width (i.e. not put in ZG flares or wide-body kits).

     

    Your car is kickass btw, definitely liking the red. :)

    here is the picture John was talking about that shows the rear. and this one shows how the front is tied to the TC box.

    Hey Cary. dont make it so easy for Mike, it took me 6 months to to find out that wont work.
  6. viperredls1z
    it's marginal at low idle, but it works fine from 900rpm up with the stock pulley setup. a slightly smaller pulley on the pump should solve that problem.
  7. viperredls1z
    You can use a pump from an S130 if you use an electric fuel pump. the S130 pump will mount where the fuel pump goes and it will line up with the third pulley. if you don't have three pulleys make sure you get one from the 79-83 donor along with the pump bracket and idler.

    I hope you make it. I dont want to be the only Chevy powered Datsun runnin with the Shelby boys again. (actually they are a great group of guys).

    5zigen F 17x9 245's R 17x10 275's Just switched to 5 lug, this is now the only set of wheels I have that fit my car.
  11. viperredls1z
    Yes Paul, that's an extension from the adjuster. the shocks are the current AZC setup.

    Thanks for the tip Jon

    I wish now I had taken more pictures when this happened. this is all I have

    MONZTER those are some nice looking arms. Your design?
  15. viperredls1z
    yes. I think moisture got in through a crack that I failed to notice, and the resulting rust helped speed up an inevitable failure. I don't think the rust caused the problem though.
  16. viperredls1z
    This is the repaired arm, the part in front is the threaded sleeve for the other arm. they are now plug welded in addition to around the circumference as the originals were. this is how all future arms will be made according to Dave from AZC. I did mine myself because I didn't want the down time of shipping both directions.
  17. viperredls1z
    If I had been inspecting this once in a while I might have noticed the crack that led to this failure. fortunately the tire was the only other damage. if you are running these control arms my advice would be to check for hair line cracks in the welds. as you can see in the photo mine was cracked for a while before it finally gave out.

    I mainly autocross at Medford, and I do most of the hillclimbs with the NHA. if there is an open weekend I autocross at Eugene or Redmond or try to make a track day at Thunderhill or PIR. I have drag raced twice at Medford, and my best so far is 12.06 at 116 mph. now I have more tire on back, 3.90 gears vs 3.54, and a cam and 1.8 rockers. hope to be in the 11's next time.

    Aww shucks.
  20. viperredls1z
    I'll be there!

    Your stock pump should keep up just fine, as long as your return from the FPR is going to the surge tank and not to the main tank.
  22. viperredls1z
    I'm in too.

    The PCM came from regal performance,(it was part of the engine/trans package) but he has them programed by someone else and offers a new painless harness with the deal. I was impressed with the harness and it comes with a good instruction manual.I hooked up HP Tuners to the PCM and it thinks it's a 2003 corvette. in reality the engine is a 2005 corvette LS2. when Dave ordered the engine he had a choice of DBW or mechanical, I think it was about $50 more for the DBW. the nice thing about about the electronic throttle is if you are using a GM steering column (witch we are not) it would be simple to add cruise control. it's all built in to the DBW module and the painless harness even has all the brake and clutch switch wiring to support it. That air cleaner setup is a S&P, but we found it used on ebay. Dave went that route on my recommendation based on the street orientation of his car, and the parts and labor to build a good cold air system would have been a little more and taken more time. I was a little concerned about intake noise but it's actually pretty quiet.

    Thanks for asking, but this is kind of a part time thing for me, and so far all I have done are 240's and don't really know much about the zx's Dave K.

    Here is the finished engine compartment, tomorrow is exhaust day and if all go's well Friday delivery. Dave, now it's up to you to do the shake down cruise, keep your cell phone handy and don't stray too far.
