Hey Ross Would you mind adding in some more details on the billet stub axles Im definatly interested in them and what the cost and time frame may be. Are these going to be alot stronger than the oem stub axles?

So let me try to get all this straight. I can use the zx strut with a 240 spring and cartridge in the front along with the zx disk brakes. I have 82 zxt struts and brakes if this makes a difference. To swap the rears I need to use my trailing arms? Do I use 240 springs and struts in the rears. I would have to cut off and reweld the 240 perches though to be able to use the zx struts though. This means I have to have an extra set of 240 perches... I think I might be getting this

anyone?

O man I love that car. Talk about something different Ive never seen one before.... Yes I do believe in love at first site!!! Wow. Some nice fab skills there too that volvo engine looks good in there. I bet an sr20det would work nicely

sounds kind of like top thrill dragster at cedar point in cleveland ohio. Its 0 to 125 mph in like 2 seconds or less plus it goes like 300 feet in the air its the tallest fastest roller coaster in the country at the time I believe.

well if you wanted to make your car right hand drive that would be a good deal. You'll never find the parts to do it stateside. I have a guy that wants to sell me the parts for 400 dollars so if you were close you could buy it. Sell the rear end and a few other good parts on ebay. Stub axles and front hubs that 240 users upgrade too and youve made your money back and you have the right hand drive parts. Send whatever you cant sell the the JY

Ok I have seen a couple of times where somone on here has mentioned getting a pallet shipped relativly inexpensivly. Does anyone know of the cheapest way to get a pallet with an engine and transmission on it to 45133 Ohio from 81425 Colorado. I in no hurry at all just budget impaired. Ive been looking around the internet without alot of luck. Hopefully someone can offer some help or advice. Thanks guys

Ok sorry for posting a non z question. What has to be done to swap my zx struts into a 510. Do you swap all 4 or just the fronts. Are the disk brakes compatible all around? Ive heard of alot of guys doing it but I dont know anything about it. Hopefully somone will chime in here.

Would you be allowed to post the price lists then pm me the percentage discount. Im interested in volk wheels. Ive found some pretty good prices on the net. I wanted 17x11 or 17x 12 for the rears and 17x9 up front. I have really big flares. I like the volk gtp wheels and the work termist and equip's Id like to know what kind of price Im looking at. Do you know how long this pricing can be available. Or maybe not the set price but the percentage off will be available. Thanks for offering your help. Jared

ok Someone has heard of these they are for sale on all the race car parts sites???

yipes dont run over any small bumps you could have a fuel tank explosion!!!

Did you get my pm about pricing?

Common guys chime in here I am trying to do a very low budget rebuild myself. Whats the cheapest plce to get parts. i know msa and vb are out of the question.

Well He is most definatly the expert compared to me. I just thought that was interesting. Would be cool to know why he chose the e88. Ive got one sitting around maybe its actually good for something? Sorry to steal your post. Good luck with the sale.

Well Im in between I dont like the stock 280zx's but the modified ones in this thread are pretty. I have an 82zxt and you can tell that it would be so much faster without all the fat. However its still quick and with minor body mods some wheels and suspension upgrades Id love to have another one. To bad mine will be become crushed rust here soon as the engine is going in my 280z.

hmmm didnt know the rod and stroke would be that bd. Well hopefully we can figure out something. I have an l24 crank and rods and a p90/f54 combo they could go into. I think that with t61 turbo might be rather interesting.

Wow I wish I was more prepared for you to have this up for sale. Anyway I hope you don't mind me asking why you went with an e88 head as opposed to a p90 or n42 that most guys use on their turbo setups.

Don't worry guys its the thought that counts.................................FUGLY!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43955&item=7907605336&rd=1 Those arent mine but they are the same wheels Mine arent polished in the center (didnt come that way stock) but the lips are shiny and they are straight with no curb rash. I could spend a couple hours at my friends shop on his buffer and put them on ebay but Im swamped and if you need them and I need a dash well... If you need pics of my wheels Ill do my best to get some by the weekend. My driver for my digital cam is not loading on my computer for some reason grrrr....Here is another set that looks like mine

Daw I think we are misunderstanding each other. I didnt mean l28et rods and pistons in the deisel I mean in the f54 block with the ld28 crank. In that combination how much piston are we talking about peaking over the deck surface? Also when using a headplate wouldn't it be possible to retain the stock timing cover?

I think if you welded the head plate around each bore then it should be able to be honed just as if the block were taller. You would definatly want to find a good welder but I think it would work. Any more ideas. And anyone want to come up with some different dollar figures and usable components. I really like this thread... for those of us that dare to be different I also havent been able to calculate on my own what would happen if one used the ld28 crank with l28et rods and pistons. How many more mm of deck height would be needed on the f54 block for that to work? I still like the idea of the l24 crank and Rods in the f54 block with a big turbo and alot of boost.

Not sure why those big cars were always jacked up to the sky. I think it was an 80's masculinity thing. However with the nose pointing down I think it probably did get some downforce on the front end. I disagree with the body kits though. I know some of the body kits just add weight and drag to a car but companies like veilside sell $2,000 body kits that have a lot of R&D behind them. The black widow kits on the other hand are the ones that can be had on ebay for 300 dollars. There is a difference. Unfortunatly for the zx there aren't really any kits other than the msa offering.

nope wont fit. Ive got a nice set of zx turbo wheels in 15x6.5 that I would be willing to trade for a certain dash plus shipping

Wow that is a nice deal. I haven't seen a good deal in a pawnshop for a long time around here.

I definatly like the look of the new lights in the rear. A new roll pan would not be necessary. I would stretcha stock bumper with out the sides and then a flat sheet of steel would cover the original tail light aread. It needs a custom bumper or something to break it up. Also would need to be wider in the front I think in order to not look like the car is a triangle shape i.e. huge rear to skinny front.
