I have a 73 240z installed Eibach lowering springs front and rear. Now the exhaust is so low, it less than an inch (+/-) from the ground. I was thinking about putting back the original rear springs in the rear. I have duel exhaust. Is there anyway I can increase the height in the rear using the lowering springs? Anyone else had this problem and what was your solution?
Thanks in advance

You said car in the first post. Check your steering rack bushings. Maybe something is not assembled correctly. You replaced a lot of parts.
I'll get the car in the air and check it tomorrow. Thanks for the advice.

Yeah, that's not surprising. Even a wheel being out of balance or flat-spotted will make the wheel shake, but you can't really feel it throughout the car. What type of wheels do you have? Is it possible to run without the spacers to see if it fixes the issue?
I wished I could but to use the rims I need to have the spacers.

Thanks Calz for your reply. Can you recommend where I can purchase front spacers for my 240z?
I forgot to mention that I don't feel the car shacking just the steering wheel.

Thanks NewZed for your reply. I'm now looking for a reputable company to buy them. Do you know where I can get them, plug and play?
Thanks

Like calZ said it's probably your "spacers". You don't have a steering wheel problem, you have a wheel problem. Very dangerous, especially on the front.
Maybe you have some of these but haven't machined the I.D. Don't even know why this guy sells them that way, kind of cheap and unsafe.

Can't get front wheel spacers to sit flush? By that do you mean you have spacers between your hubs and wheels and they are not sitting squarely? If so, that's your answer as to why the steering wheel shakes.

I have a 240z 73 replaced the rack and pinion, tie rod ends, front calipers and brakes pads, front rotors, bushings, struts, springs and the car shakes at speed over 45mph. I can't seem to get the front wheel spacers to fix flush. Anyone else having this steering wheel problem?

Nope. didn't need any shims with the viper TOB to LS7 clutch and flywheel.
I didn't notice your other questions either until now but I just ordered a bellhousing and input shaft by looking them up as a 2001 v8 camaro.
I just purchase HP Tuners and have no experience turning. Is there any advice you can give me on tuning for the t56? I also install a ls6 cam and intake. Can you share your tuning files that would be great.

I started this journey to fix a steering wheel shack problem above 45 mpg, so I replaced the rack and pinion, all front and rear bushings, tie rod ends, brake calipers, rotors, and ball joints. After bleeding and re-bleeding the brakes several times, now my brakes are very weak.The pedal is not firm at all. The pedal wont go all the way to the floor and just before it reaches the floor it stops and the brakes works a little. I'm not sure if I fixed the shaking problem, but I have to fix this problem. Any advice?

I used a viper t56 in my datsun. I’m not sure about differences in year (my t56 was out of a 98 viper) but I had to get an ls input shaft and bellhousing. The throw out bearing retainer has the 2 holes clocked differently too, but I think I just reused a viper one because I don’t remember drilling any holes in mine. I used an ls7 clutch kit.
Did you shim the TOB?

Hi, I looking for a good and affordable muffler shop in Sacramento, CA. Any recommendations?

My 240z has 215 60 15 all around, brand new rack and pinion, refreshed front and rear suspension poly bushings, tie end rods, bearings, ball joints and Eibach lowering springs. The car steering wheel shakes and I can't figure out why, Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what did you do to fix it?

Almost all left hand drive cars have the driveline slightly over to passenger side, it allows the driver more room. On the same note most differentials are off to the P/S as well.
Thanks

I just swap a Viper 03 t56 replacing the 4l603 in my 5.3 2002. That's all I changed everything else is still the same from the old tune. Do you think I need to retune it?

I removed the 4l60e transmission for a Viper t56. I notices that the t56 is slightly more to the passenger side of the car and I can't figure out why. Anyone else have or had this problem?

Hi, i just purchased the JTR t56 crossmember and it seems it will take some modifying to get it to work. Can someone share their experience in the install and pictures? What's a good cost effective alternative to JTR? And, any other advice you can give me.

Do you have the clutch pedal parts?

@milesz my T56 didn’t come with a reverse lockout. I bought this and love it! Same idea as above where you mood the intervals but this is much lower profile!
Thanks

It works just like any other reverse lockout prior to gm re-engineering the wheel for really no apparent reason.I used the stock internals minus the solenoid.went to the local hardware store and found the appropriate spring for the right tension,and walla idiot and bullet proof.I am in the process of machining 20 of these if interested.Dont forget that the factory solenoid can actually cause you to have to put a substantial dent in your tunnel for it to fit.This is 3/4" shorter and requires no dent.
How much?

I stayed with the Viper mid-plate and hydraulic TOB. I went with a Tilton 75-Series MC(p/n#75-280, 7/8 bore). It fits perfectly in the stock location.
NOTE: I haven't actually tested this setup out. I had my car running at one point last year but I don't have a driveshaft yet(I would like to hear your input on that. I have a s13 rear subframe with a q45 diff)and decided to switch from turbo to LSA S/C.
Do you have any pictures you can share? What clutch set up did you use? Thanks for the information.

Thanks, that's great information.
One more question, if I stay with the Viper mid-plate, what slave cylinder do I need to get? Can I used any Dodge slave cylinder is only from a Viper?
