I just shot Eiji the thread with his and Glens Z's. Nice job Dave P.!!

Did that check out my thread. I lived and learned. All is explained over here: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?p=823998#post823998

Ross sent me another set of lines for the 240SX calipers. I used the right side but on the left side I had a 32" braided line made. It goes from the distribution box all the way to the caliper, it cost me $25. I removed both OEM hard line tabs so they won't interfere with the braided line. I will fill it in properly when the Z is painted. On both sides I used the stock hard line clamps minus the rubber insert and ran the braided lines through them. Just some added insurance I also added a small piece of rubber hose with zip ties over top of the braided line where is comes in contact with the inner wheel arch (no pictures). Here are all the pics: http://putfile.com/240ztt/images/157770 These are the highlights: Looking at the picture left side is the custom one piece line I had made and right side is Modern Motorsports one piece line. The gold thing on the right is the proportioning valve. Take off the large bolt on the bottom and take the guts out and replace the bolt. This will allow more fluid to flow to the calipers verses being necked down when it had drum brakes. It is easier to take it out and put it in a vice. You need small needle nose to pop the c-clip out then take the orifice (tube) out for good.

I paid $1400 from Japan

Thanks!! I have been collecting them for years. I bought those carts on either side of the work bench from Lowe's, I wanted to get all my parts off of the floor. I am going to paint the center beam and poles red and put up new window shades. Now all I need is a lift. I have a pull down attic ladder with full storage. I need to cut out half of the above floor to make the lift fit. Anyone know where I can get a lift from in the D.C Area?

Over the last month I epoxied the floor and painted the walls in my 28x28 workshop. In addition, to upgrading the electrical system from 110 volts (built in 70's) to a full 70 Amp service, with new breaker, wiring, lights and outside motion lights and a/c to boot: Enjoy!! Before: After: I'll update with a pic of the Z in there later.

Yasin, OS Giken Twin Plate, kind of pricey I bought mine through Matt at Motorworks. So far sooo good.

Yasin, I am running 1/2 bottle of GM EOS with every oil change for my break-in. Good stuff for engine break-in according to every machinist I have talked to.

Looking great Yasin!!!

I hated the headlights. Here is what (rojoloco1982) Travis said:

Dave, already posted a few threads down: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=127311 Still drooling....well here is all 3 days: http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f311/rojoloco/car%20crap/Mad%20Mike%20visit/ I hate Todd and Bernie How do we get in on that trip??

Best part:

Yasin, I am running the Toyota ARP flywheel bolts as Paul mentioned on my OS Giken setup. Same thread as Datsun works great.

Yea I bought my tickets back in August Section 6 floor seats for a whopping $148. Oh well this is a once in a lifetime to see all 3/4 of them LIVE!! http://www.vhlinks.com/links/ Check this link out some nice pics: http://www.vintagekramer.com/5150e.htm

1 week from tomorrow I will see them!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!! :trippen:

Thanks to everyone who made it!! Anyone else have any other pics post them here. http://nixpix.smugmug.com/gallery/2038574#211334586

Thanks for the replies everyone!!!

No I think it broke above the hardline fitting where it threads into the braided line.

Actually 9.5" are the largest that you can get in a 16" wheel. 13"-15" you can go up to 12" wide. http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/pay/al8r.htm I bought my 1st set from Joji at http://www.wheelchoice.com 8.5"/9.5". I sold my 9.5" and bought another (2) 8.5" from my friend Eiji who owns http://www.datsunspirit.com You can also check http://www.takumiproject.com

Well I got to Richmond for Ztoberfest yesterday. After pulling into the parking lot, Todd came over and adjusted my SU's. I started to beotch about my line being chewed up and thought maybe he nicked it with the welder when he fabed the e-brake brackets. So we look under and sure enough it's all over the place, brake fluid is everywhere dripping like a leaky sink. The car show was great now it was time to leave. I tried to finagle a lift use with my free oil change coupon but service was closed. We left and I picked up a bottle of brake fluid and I babied it all the way home (2.5 hours) engine braking when I can and double pumping the pedal when needed. I was hoping for no sudden brake stops and tried to leave myself plenty of room but I had to stop short once and I also had to yank the e-brake lever. WHEWWW. After stopping 3-4 times to top off the reservoir I finally made it home. So I get home jack her up and look. The brake tab bracket was bent up, it looks like it kinked the top of the hard line above fitting. The side of my Goodridge/Modern Motorsport 240SX stainless braided brake line sleeve was rubbed and looks to have been melted. Pissed I grab my simple green and start spraying my Watanabe to get the brake fluid off. Then I hose down the under carriage too. This was late last night. I am going to go home today after work and look at it again but I think this is the problem. When I grabbed my cores from the junkyard I DID NOT grab the e-brake bracket. So my Z is at Todd's we figure this out at the end of the weekend, I go back to Maryland, he orders the brackets, they come in and are WRONG! I needed '89-'94 S13 what came in was '95-'98 S14 brackets. He modifies the wrong bracket and I think (by looking at the pictures today) and comparing them to the pictures once it was first installed last month. The travel of the suspension and the angle of the modified brackets is causing the bracket to rub on the line. I will verify tonight in the meantime enjoy the pictures: http://www.putfile.com/240ztt/images/154669 Before from mid September Last Night

Had a great time as well. It was nice to run into Mike K. and Mike P. again, as well as meeting some new Hybrid Z'ers Chris (savageskaterkid) and Tom (Tombarace14). After arriving at the show I noticed a brake fluid puddle on the left rear. I ended up thrashing my hardline/ M/M braided line and had to engine brake and double pump the brake pedal the whole way home. I'll post up the WTF I need help w/ pics in the brake forum. Since I haven't figured out what was hitting it. On a lighter note, I won the "Diamond in the Rough" category out of all 40+ cars that was there which was awesome, along with a free oil change coupon. I tried using the coupon to get some lift time for my brake issue but it didn't work out as service was closed.

Righto. Let me get this email off to the president for those that are not meeting at Carmel Church see you there it's suppose to be an awesome day!!

If you don't come up to Carmel Church we can stop somewhere right off I64 and Exit 177 (where savageskaterkid was talking about) if there is a gas station or something to pick up the rest of you guys? Let me know.

To each is own it doesn't matter what you are or how other people classify your Z the most important thing is that you drive a Z at whatever level. I talked to Eiji and that is the same way that he goes. I'll PM you my cell.

I thought this forum was for newbies to post. Your examples are normally posted in the Non Tech Forum not in New Members Forum. Anyways, I am not the posting police I just thought I'd lend a hand. Good luck,
