So torque wise? Does anyone know what these can handle? Also Is there binding issues with this conversion as well?

So is it the cost of this kit that drives people to the 300zx cv conversion instead or just not knowing about this kit? Cause this is the first time ive seen this and i searched this site pretty well and never heard of using poreshe cv shafts? Does this conversion have binding issues like the 300zx conversion?

Thought this was a unique approach to a cv conversions. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-Datsun-510-240Z-260Z-280Z-CV-Halfshaft-kit_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33729QQihZ002QQitemZ120232086088QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V

Looks great. Do you have anymore pictures?

How much fuel was in the car?

They used a Ford Rally car (dont ask) and an ae86. I dont know what his reasoning was. Said that I was "in the line of sight of Vin Diesel". Dont really know what that means. Im sure he knows what hes talking about. Its the way he said it I think is what is bothering me. I think at first he probobly thought i was an extra and didnt think i owned the car (i look young i guess).

I never mentioned it before. Didnt think it was worth mentioning. I was bored (4 hours of waiting for us to do something as they shot a scene without us). I was watching Vin and some guy act in a scene behind the camera crew. Some PA tells me i need to leave and stand with the other "drivers". So i do. They know what they are doing. He comes to me after the scene in front of the other drivers, and says because of you, these drivers all have to now go away from the set area. THen he looks at them and says it because of him. Although he was right, I should not have been there. Is it really the smartest thing to do, to yell at the person who owns the car in every scene? Sure some of you will say, well hes a PA, he can do that. Actually no he cant. A PA Ive learned, is pretty much a nobody. And your right Mike, my car probably wont be used as a prop again. So they better hope those scenes were good enough. Cause if not, like I said, they are going to have to re-shoot those scenes minus two gourgous z cars.

VD is a good guy. I had a chance to talk to him. Very cool, but lets be real, the guy obviously doesn't know ♥♥♥♥ about cars. What did i expect? Well, i expected to be used in a race scene, not just park the car and have some people lean on it. Its very rude to lean on others cars, show quality or not. It has nothing to do with how much you know about the cars. Its about manners. Just because I don't know anything about my neighbors Audi, Doesn't make it ok to lean on his car as I talk to him.

:icon14::icon14: Finally. A 75 manual!!! Now if I could only find an ls1 service manual this easy...

I don't know if there will be any more scenes. Honestly after my argument with the PA. I don't want to go back (they kinda need our cars since it would look weird if our cars just disappeared out of the scene. They would have to re-shoot all the scenes we were in, and pay all the girls and more drivers to come back out.) So if they call me back (cant speak for mike), but im going to make that PA give me a written apology and they better up the pay. I know its gona kill that PA to write that letter so im going to enjoy that. Bottom line: It wasn't worth people leaning all over my car for what I got. No big deal if they don't want to. It was fun the first time anyway.

I told Mike I would tell him. Should have actually. The actor that Vin D was working with (some nobody) leaned on my car and i told him he cant be doing that even though the guy had at least a foot and a half on me and probably 100lbs on me. Sorry but my car isn't that type of car. There were plenty of hondas around for that.

So does anyone know if the TTT stuff using bushings or not? If not is it much louder than usual? Ok for the DD?

It looks sturdy. But your right you cant tell just from the pics. Maybe on my next ls swap haha.

Yea the same thing happened to me at 80mph. I am solving the problem by getting new wheels that bolt up to the hub without the adapters. They will use spacers but at least its better than adapters (4 lugs to check per wheel instead of 8 lugs per wheel). Ill probably just throw the old wheels and suspension on the other z car.

I'm personally using the jci mount as well. But the way the mount is designed it uses one of the tie rod bolts. Some of us use polyurethane bushing for the tierod and this has been known to snap the tie rod. You really don't want that happening in an ls1 swap using the jci kit. Im going to switch over the rubber bushings for the tie rods for that reason. Thought this was another interesting way of doing it though.

Found these on summit. Thought they were pretty neat. Although the jci mount does the job on most LSx swaps. I think this could also work. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=TRD%2D4501&N=700+115&autoview=sku

Im noticing a Horrible Trend. Ls1 powered z = Front wheels coming off. Probably a coincidence but still.

I thought about having him sign the car. But I didn't have a marker haha. Although I thought about the eBay potential. This is the car ive driven since High school. Although I could build a better one. I have alot of memories with this car. So selling it isnt really something I want to do. Obviously if circumstances make me do it fine. But right now i don't need to. The scene was shot in San pedro. About 45mins north of where i live.

The reason there isn't many pics of the girls is cause if i wasn't taking pics of the cars i was talking to them haha. Mikes got the pic of vin on his z.
