  1. This is a rough picture of what to expect from my front end. I didn't include my T3 tie rod ends and NCRCA. While i was trying to remove my stock tie rods I found out that i needed to replace my rack and pinion. Now i'm on hold till i can either find a used one or a refurbish one. Anyone know a place that i can purchase a refurbish one ? I know MSA is out of them. Would you guys know if the AZC steering knuckles would fit into an adjustable tie rod end ? I know Garagistic has a non drilled tie rod adjusters. I'm assuming that they will fit onto an AZC steering knuckle ?
  2. I'm currently removing my 71 240z inner tie rods. This is my first attempt. I already removed the ball joint from the steering knuckle. Can someone please help me on how to remove this ? Thanks
  3. What suspension set up are you guys running? I'm trying to figure out a default setup to start with. My suspension is completely apart at this moment. I'm running Mckinney coilovers with bolt on camber hats. T3 front LCR, TC rods, NCRCA, Tie Rods, and MSA sways with 4 piston Wilwood brakes. Once i'm done putting them all together i'm going to take to Dando's in Fremont Ca. for an alignment.
  4. What's up Hybrid family ! I was wondering if anyone of you guys tried Techno Toy Tuning Adjustable Tie Rod end in their 240z ? My Z will be a weekend warrior and a track car. I currently have a Mckinney coilover kit with non welding camber hats. T3 front control arms and TC rods. Im waiting to buy T3 NCR center adjusters. I tried doing some research on the T3 tie rod ends but didn't get much. Is it worth it ?
  5. thanks for the reply cgsheen. This is my first time having coilovers. When i started installing the coilovers into the strut tower i've noticed that the all thing started to swivel around. Is that natural even after tightening the three bolts on top of the strut tower ? Do you have any tips installing the steering knuckles under the struts ? i'm having a little trouble with it Thanks
  6. Hey guys I was wondering if anyone could help me out on what basic measurements can i start with my Mckinney 240z coilover kit with non welded camber plates. The shop that helped me weld the kit together took the top threaded part off separating it from the bottom hub assembly. Now i don't know where the original position is at now. Please if you do have the Mckinney kit can you give me the base measurements or at least what your measurements are currently at then i can adjust to my needs. Thanks !
  7. Beautiful build and congratulations with a sick set Up! I too have the same taste in nostalgia. I plan on doing the STD set up after im done with my suspension and brake upgrades. I love the throaty exhaust note. Where dis you purchase the exhaust from?
  8. I would love to be part of the next group buy. Wish I knew about this earlier
  9. I mentioned that i had four of the struts out of the vehicle.I purchased the Mckinney coilover kit with camber top hat that fits stock bolts. I told them that all they needed to do is to have my stocks cut and weld on the new. I do have the all four hubs on with both rear lower control arms still attached with the spindle. That's all they needed to do and i'll install it my self since my car is gutting out.
  10. Do you guys think 1140.70 is the right quote to put the kit together ? I feel like this is kinda high
  11. Yeah i'm probably better off bringing everything there. I hope they can do it asap, i haven't driven my car for a year. Thanks Auxilary ! Hey once you're good at it let me know i may need you later for my roll bars.
  12. yes its a chop and weld in. I purchased the kit with a top hat camber plate that goes under the stock strut for the stock look. It does not require any welding. I went to a few local shops near by and they didn't want to weld the kit together because they were not familiar with it and it might fail. I would pay anyone that has skills either if they are at home or at a shop. I really want to get these done, please help guys !
  13. Thanks Auxilary ! I actually work across the street from them. They told me that i have to bring my car in so they can test it out. My Z is currently going through a full brake and suspension work at this time. Its sitting on jack stands and I need the struts to be done alone. I was thinking about looking for a welder on yelp but i figure giving HybridZ a shot first.
  14. is this tool for sale or borrowed ? I'm very interested 383 240z
  15. Good afternoon gentlemen, I recently removed four of my stock struts to add on to my new Mckinney coilover kit. I live in San Leandro and I am currently looking for a skilled welder to weld my kit together. I do not have any welding skills and this would be a big help for me. Please help me point to a local shop or a private welder, i would really appreciate it. Thank you !
  16. I need at least one half shaft for my 71 Z. I'm located in San Diego. My email is cc_foronda@yahoo.com Thanks
  17. I am looking for a set of lowering springs and shocks for my 71 240z. Thanks
  18. Thanks 310z ! I may go that route for now till I find a nice retro set.
  19. I'm debating between a set of BBS replicas 15x8 14 pound rims or Diamond Racing 15x9 heavy as hell ! The replicas are selling 380 out the door with no tires. The diamonds are around that price too. I just need rims to have till i start adding on my new fender flares and coilovers. What would you guys pick ?
  20. Sorry about that newZed. Should i start a new thread again or just load more pictures on this thread ? I don't want to keep on using mulitple threads of the same topic.
  21. I have a set of coilovers that i purchased but i do not know what they are. I was wondering if these parts are interchangable besides the strut and sleeve ? Can anyone tell what make it is from by the camber plates and springs ? The camber plate came with screws to screw into the towers.
  22. I recently bought used coilovers. The guy that i purchased it from did not know any information on the coilovers. All i know is that it came with camber kits that did not weld on to the towers. The strut towers were cut out but the plates were screwed into the towers. It looks like it has some dampening screws to adjust the shocks. There are no names on the springs. Who ever welded the struts came out really good. I'm curious if the springs, shocks and camber plates are interchangable ? I'm located in San Diego Poway district. If anyone that is local that can come and check it out would be great !
  23. What about wet sanding ? What's the process of wet sanding the car ?
  24. ouch ! razor blade ? Wouldn't it give it deep cuts into the metal ?
