10 bucks with glass

Or the new NC body mx5. 2 liter, na, close ratio 6 speed tranny, 170hp, and no turbolag

guys, when it comes to looks, it's all opinions. And opinions are like assholes: everyone has one, and most stink

no you didn't.

why should a company follow suit with every other retro goback? Chrysler did the PT Cruiser, Chevy followed suit with the HHR. ford did the mustang. Chevy is bringing back a retro camaro Why should nissan revert back to the original 240z design? Just to be like everyone else?

Better looking than the bimmer

uh... so bmw is producing a coupe that makes less hp and torque than a 350z, weighs the same, and has similar performance to the 350z...and you're wondering why nissan doesn't produce anything like it? Those Z4 coupes are fugly. But you know what they say about opinions...

I think he meant to say "I saw the title, and I thought I was reading a post on hybridz.org" rather than imply hybridz is stupid

invest in the ES bushing kit. it's around 140 bucks from summit

ok, you folks are getting seriously confused with the term SPACER here. Let's clarify this so we don't have people complaining about wrong information: HUB/ROTOR SPACER that is mentioned several times in the FAQ and pictured HERE goes between the rotor and the hub. It DOES NOT go over the wheel studs. here's what it looks like assembled: rotor to spacer to hub WHEEL SPACER: the spacer that sits between the hub and the wheel. Looks like this: In short, if your wheel hits the caliper, whether it's the S12+8 or S12W, you need either: a. a WHEEL spacer/adapter to move the wheel out or b. A new set of wheels that clears your new setup

you can email ross at MM and I'm sure he can give you the most correct answer on this.

Yeah, both of the r200 and r230 in the z32 cars were viscous limited slip.

newer models may be a bit lighter. I do not have proof to back this up, but perhaps someone else does?

I was checking parts on partsamerica.com, and for 89 4runner is an s12w. for the 92 4runner it shows s13wb: this is the caliper shown for the 89 4runner v6: you can see the backwards stamped s12 on it (they mirrored the images, I guess). jmortensen is correct, up until 91 4runner, the brakes were s12 series. in 92 they switched over to the s13wb. The 94 toyota pickup shows teh same s12 calipers

i think this post needs to be in drivetrain section...

84-89 = z31. 3.7 r200. 90-96, z32. there was a naturally aspirated version at 222hp, and a twin turbo (zxtt) 300hp version. no single turbo was made 90-96. two small t3s, one for each bank

emailed a friend of mine, will find out shortly edit: still waiting for answers, but I've been searching twinturbo.net, and even though I haven't found the exact answer, I think both units are viscious limited slip. na has the 4.08 geared r200, and the twin turbo has the 3.69 geared r230. I'll update this if I hear otherwise

no dude, if you punch a bag of sand, it doesn't wobble like jello

no clue. I'm very certain it's not mentioned anywhere in this thread, especially not in the link pointing to modern motorsports. Sorry dude, you're out of luck

with the 240sx rear brakes, you flip the parking brake cables left to right, and vice versa, and run adapters you can either get from ross, or make them yourself using 2 cleft pins and a metal bracket with 2 holes in it.

matter of perspective but you're correct now that i visualize it in my head, the 300zx rotor doesn't step out as much, so the spacer keeps the hub properly spaced while moving the rotor inboard.. however, depends on perspective if new rotor is hte point of reference, he spacer moves the hub out to retain correct spacing for the spindle/bearings

300zx turbo or na? the turbo had a clutch lsd r230, the non-turbo had a vlsd r200

no, the spacer goes between the hub and the rotor. Look at the pics of my setup at the top, and you can see the spacer in place right, spacer isn't needed for non-vented setup. you need to spacer for the vented swap to move the hub out far enough so that wheels and the hub itself can clear the caliper.
