[240Z euro tail lights]

I've got some on ebay

[Purchasing from Watanabe Racing service]

What size are you after, I've got a brand new set of 16x8 r type for sale in Australia.

[240z series 1 vented hatch]

Thanks mate but I'm not after the vents but the whole hatch.

[240z series 1 vented hatch]

Chasing a early hatch in mint condition, don't need the glass, preferably in California as it would need to be dropped at a shipping yard in Pomona so it can get to me in Australia.

 

thanks

thanks

[Subaru WRX STi R180 Side Axles]

The diff I bought looks like its an 08, I think its a torsen lsd and the ratio says 39:10 so 3.9, I've attached a pic of the diff and with adaptors inserted.

 

By the way John how far in do the adaptors go, they don't get locked into place do they?

 

[Subaru WRX STi R180 Side Axles]

Well, knowing what year it came out of helps you determine what ratio and LSD type it is:

 

04' and 05' STIs came with a CLSD, 3.9 ratio

06' STIs came with a CLSD, 3.54 ratio

07' STIs came with a Torsen LSD, 3.54 ratio

08' STIs came with a Torsen LSD, 3.9 ratio

 

I'm not sure what the 09's and up come with.

 

Edit: the info above is true for US models...not sure if they differed in other markets.

 

Thanks, I think the new diff I'm looking at is either a 04-05 or 08, I've searched a lot of photos on google and ebay and most have lettering on top starting with a H, the latest I found was a photo of a 06 sti diff with HX then one on ebay was HW, 05 diff, I don't know if this is a very presice was of finding a diff but its all I got to go by as the diff is in japan.

 

cheers

[Subaru WRX STi R180 Side Axles]

Oh ok, i just thought that it had to be a 04 or 05 diff to use the axles, I'm pretty keen on this diff though just because its brand new and its only a few hundred more than a used over here in Australia. I guess if its the wrong one I can always just sell it again.

[Subaru WRX STi R180 Side Axles]

Is there an easy way of telling the year of a diff, I've found a brand new sti r180 lsd diff for my side axles but the seller doesn't know what year its from.

 

[Schneider valve springs or Kameari?]

Good to know, thanks

[Schneider valve springs or Kameari?]

Thanks, I've already got the scheiders so I'll give them a go then.

[Schneider valve springs or Kameari?]

I've searched but couldn't really find much info on the springs, just wanted to know if the Schneider valve springs are good or not, I actually already have some that I bought from MSA but I'm heading to Japan before the end of the year and was wondering if it would be worth getting some kameari springs while I'm there.

[Has anyone ever heard of "Datsun Spirit" in VA?]

What happened to Datsun Spirit, I can't find the website anymore?

Hi Mossy,

 

This is how we went about repairing mine.

 

Chassis Rail Repair

 

James

 

James were actually following your build on a thread over on Auszcar, keep the build updated, love it!

 

Thanks for the other ideads guys but I've decided to get it fixed by a fellow forumite on Auszcar otherwise I could make a mess of it.

[damaged frame rail 240z]

I've got a damaged, pushed in frame rail just where the tc rod goes and wanted to repair it before sandblasting and POR coating the chassis but I'm unsure how to straighten the damaged section. I thought about getting one of those spot stud welders but I'm thinking the metal might be too strong there to pull out, any suggestions please?

 

[240z roof skin]

I've got the roof situation sorted so I don't need one now, thanks.

[240z roof skin]

I have a really clean one in my backyard but I'm in Chicagoland... my email is buyaz2@hotmail.com if you can't find anything else, you can even instruct me where you want it cut off the car...

 

Thanks anyway but I really need one that can be dropped off in Montclair California.

[240z roof skin]

I'm after an excellent condition 240z roof skin, it will need to be close to Montclair California as I will need it dropped off to a yard there as its going in a container to Australia, thanks.

[coilover help]

Thanks, it looks like you have a flat top hat compared to my dome hopefully it should be fine.

[coilover help]

Can anyone tell me what parts are needed to put my coilovers back together, I have the GC top hat on now, does the factory spring seat and rubber isolator go on top of this?

[tripple mikuni carb id?]

Thanks Tony, I'll have to keep an eye out for some more on yahoo japan, so many temptations on there!

[tripple mikuni carb id?]

Looks like I'm too late now, they've been sold.

[tripple mikuni carb id?]

I'm trying to find out if these tripple mikunis are suitable for my L24, from looking at wolfcreek racing website they seem to be OEM 40mm mikunis from a toyota, has anyone used this type before and is the FET manifold any good?

[Help with coilover setup]

Thanks John, Pm sent regarding another issue.

[Help with coilover setup]

I need some help figuring out what parts i need for my 240z coilover setup, I searched and read quite a bit but I'm not very mechanically minded and it just confused me more, it will be mainly a street driven weekend car.

 

This is my set up

 

tires: f: 225/50/16

r: 245/45/16

 

shocks: koni 8610-1437

 

Now I'll be getting my struts sectioned to suit the konis but i'm unsure of spring lenghts and size I'll need, I'll be getting king springs here in Australia and this is what I've guessed I'll need

 

spring length(free height?) 250mm front and rear, rates 225/250, spring id 65mm

 

sleeve id 2in, sleeve length 5in

 

Does any of this sound right?
