Yes please, more photos of the car with those wheels.

Hmm, this might be a stupid question but could the CAN/AM box be used for a L28ET+VG30ET harness and ECU to 240Z swap too?

Looks good Do the XXR 513 wheels require centering rings on a s30? And what size in that case? I have centered them on my car only with the lug nuts, but I haven't driven the car that much yet so I'm wondering if there will be problems without centering rings.

z-ya, that engine looks great in the S30! Do you have more pics? What kind of engine mounts did you use?

Ok, I read the topic again. Should have read more carefully the first time, sorry So it's normal that the first coils on progressive springs are compressed.

I installed Tokico HP shocks and springs on my stock 240Z -70. They were bought a couple of years ago, and been waiting for this project. The rear (non-progressive) springs are fine, but I have the same situation with the front (progressive) springs as mentioned earlier in this topic. Can I use them or should I buy a set of other springs?

They didn't work, so I'll get a set of tuner lug nuts.

Thanks for the help I went to a local tyrestore and they had only 19mm M12x1.25, so I bought them. I'll test them tomorrow, if they don't work I'll order a set of "tuner" lugnuts. sweetleaf, you speak finnish I live in Turku, southwestern parts of Finland.

What kind of lug nuts should be used with the XXR 513? Would these be ok: http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/WWC01/25-2013 ?

Thank you for the information regarding the brakes Yes, testing both tires would probably be the safest way to know. I'll just have to get the suspension first installed.

I have to ask about the XXR 513 wheels (16x8, 0 offset). Is there any clearance issues with them if I use the Toyota brakecalipers for solid discs on my 240Z? My second question is about the tires. I know this has been discussed a lot, but I didn't manage to find an answer to my question. I have Tokico blues / Tokico springs kit for the car (not installed yet), will I be able to use 225/45/16 tires or would 215/45/16 be better? Before the car was painted I had the fender lips rolled just a little.

Looks good Have you lowered the car, or is it stock height?

Yep, here in Finland we got only 2+2 versions. Same situation with the 280ZX.

Z-Gads old Z here in Finland I've started to get her ready for new paint.

Two. The first was a 1980 2+2 non-turbo, and the second was 1982 2+2 non-turbo. Hope to have a 280ZXT 2-seater some day.

Thanks for the help. I'll start the project in a month or so and I'll take a look at the parts I've got and ask more questions if I can't figure out how to complete the swap. As blairjj asked, which Hurst shifter did you use Mike C? Anyone, does the speedo cable from an early 240Z fit the 280ZXT T5?

I've been searching and reading old topics about the s130 T5-swap into a early 240Z:s. I feel I still need to make some questions, I hope these things haven't been covered too many times earlier If I've understood it correctly, these things needs to be considered: - the driveshaft will need to be changed (becouse the early 4-speed drivershaft is different). I'll also use a moustache bar from a later model s30 to move the R180 diff. - the trans mount has to be changed somehow so the T5 will fit. - probably need to cut the opening in the transmission tunnel, for the shifter. I would like to know what else do I need to know before this swap? The car will have an L26 swapped at the same time. Will I have any issues with the clutch? Will the speedo cable fit in the T5 or do I need a different one? Anything else I've missed?

Looks to be a really nice car!!! Great find!

Yes, more pics if possible! Those flares looks so awesome on that s130

Really really nice to see that the project continues. The videos by mull are great as usual

Hey toecutter, great work I really liked the vid!
