Use the search bar. There is tons of info for the conversion. Yes all l28 manual trannys will bolt right in. And yes it comes out from the bottom of the car. You will need a manual pedal box, clutch master, slave cylinder, line from clutch master to slave cylinder clutch kit and flywheel pos starter, and of course tranny with mount.

Those are are pretty sick. But the track days I go to require your window to be fully down unless it's raining.

Do the master cylinder out of an '81 280zx. It has a 15/16 bore. That's what I am using and I have AZ Brakes front and rear. Pedal is high and firm. Also get an adjustable prop valve for the rears to get the brake bias dialed in

Yea I know that but I still need to be able to use all the door internals including the window and being able to roll it up when it's rain or when it's cold out when not on the track. I do have some ideas but need to get the doors back on the car.

Well got a lot done in the few hours I got to work on the car. Got all the strut towers cut and camber plates welded in. The fronts have to be welled from the top so that the adjusters on the coilovers clear the hood. Also got the coilover sleeves/mounts welded to the knuckles. I must say that the difficulty for install is not for everyone. But sure looks and fits nice once all done up. Enjoy Front camber plates Rear camber plates Knuckles all welded up

Those are nice. I really don't want to cut up my stock doors do to the car is going to be driven to and from the track. Also going to be doing track days in the rain.

She's coming along nicely.

So the other night when I said I was going to start welding up the camber plates and coilovers I broke my welder. So never got a chance to do it. Well got the welder back up and running. So got the rear main hoop supports tacked in and got the windshield tie ends in and welded up. Then cut down the 280z strut housings so I can weld my coilovers to them. Enjoy before cutting up the 280z struts After cutting. More to come in the later morning. Bed time for now

Here a few pics I said I post earlier. Front windshield tie ends

Yes I am doing all the welding and building the car from start to finish. I would love to do a cage for you as well but I have a second kid on the way so it's gonna be tough getting into the garge once he/ she has arrived. ( dont know the sex yet). Also before I said yes I want to make sure it passes tech. I have got the lower windshield bar braces welded in and the rear main hoop braces tacked into place. Still need to do the diagonal bar and haness bar and door bars. Not sure on what to do w/ the door bars do to I am going to be driving this car to and from the track. No trailer princess for this guy. John C. If you could give me some ideas on door bars would be most appreciated Also I will add some more pics tonight

I got the Megan's from Mckinny motor sports. I don't remember how much they were. I think they were about $1400 shipped. They came with the weld on strut tubes and weld on camber plates. Once I get the car dialed and fast w/ L28 I am going to pull the motor and drop a 347 stroker w/ aluminum heads in it.

Today got my coilovers. They are the Megan/Mckinny Last night got the rest of all the plates cut out for the roll cage. Going to start welding them all tonight

Got home today and the brown truck finally dropped off my seat. It's verbs since feb 9 since I ordered the seat. It is an Ultrashield pro race. All I have to say is that this seat fits perfectly into place. Now to build some mounts and tie ends once I get the harness bar and diagonal bat on the main hoop in. Enjoy

Anytime there is a driving school at the NCRC at Thunderhill Bill will be there. He is an official instructor now. I got the time off so I will be there. I won't be driving Unfortunatly unless I can race the Jeep. LMAO!!! That would be a sight!!

Looks good nice job

I will try to make it out then. My car won't be ready till august poss September. But would love to go for a ride

Can't wait to see her back on the road. This time make sure she is fully tuned before you beat on her at the track. Lol

A harbor freight special. Did a few mods to it to get it to work good. It's not that great bit got it for $30. Going to be buying a ol jig did the next tube project

Only of the roll cage. This one is the start to finish build.

Took a break on the cage yesterday. Was having a hell of a time with the halo bar. Could not get the notch right if my life depended in it. So tore down my 300zx tranny and a old Blowen 4 speed so I could get the bell housing off the machine shop. So this morning went for it again and got it on the first try. Figures. Here are the pics. '86 300zx tranny All torn down Bell housing on the right is the one to be machined. Halo bar that I finale got right
