    Maichor's 240SX suspension in a 240Z

    The pictures of this swap were on the old site and don't work anymore. I often get questions about the pictures so I am trying to get them back here so they can be viewed. This is a complete swap of and 240sx rear suspension setup into a 240Z. The build thread is in the suspension forum

    Cut the floor under the tool boxes for 240SX suspension swap

    This gives you an idea of where it will sit. It is actually about 3/4" further back than the stock location as the stock Z has the wheel about that far to the front of the wheel well, plus it worked out better for mounting points this way.

    The areas I have outlined are added material to strengthen the area.

    This view is from above and shows where you will need to reinforce the floor for a mounting point. I welded 1/8" plated over the existing floor and tied it into the frame I built that runs longitudinally along the car.

    Rear mounting points for the 240SX suspension.
  7. If this has been thoroughly covered before, feel free to delete this. However, I couldn't seem to find anything on the search for this. "AC" is only two letters long and so it won't even take that query. I know there are members that have done this before. I even remember reading some posts, but like I said, I can't find anything now. SO . . . What are your experiences with these kits or other options? I know Vintage Air has servo driven units. I don't want the hassle of the vacuum controlled systems. Has anyone used an aftermarket system like this or adapted one from another vehicle? Thanks.
  8. Looks good. Are you planning a hood scoop or are you leaving it open as is?
  9. 3 pages of this? THIS IS THE BEST THREAD EVER!
  10. Having done a lot of welding on my project, fires are the rule, not the exception. A good set of lungs works on undercoating, etc. for little welding fires. If you are not welding bare metal, it is to be expected. Just don't be foolish enough to think it is safe. I have 3 fire extinguishers in my little 2 car garage, just in case something really lights up. Good advice.
  11. My oil pressure does that too and goes higher as rpms go up. LS1's do tend to run higher oil pressure and temperature than previous generations.
  12. Hey, i receive delivery of a '73 240 with LS1, t56, JDM R230 on Thursday night. Its ugly, but all the good stuff is there. I am very interested to see your set up at some point. I live in Bedford. If you are going to be out at any events/shows/club meeting, let me know. I am new-ish to the community and am trying to get to know some Z people in the area. Later - Eric

  13. Very nice. No revs? Maybe you can save that for the next video!
  14. He was probably running your info through the computer. He didn't have you clocked but he probably was checking you out. I got out of a 70 in a 60 on a lonely toll road because he saw that I didn't have any tickets or warnings on my record and probably figured I wasn't a menace to society. He told me as much and gave me a warning. On another note, I have a friend looking to sign on the Dallas Police Reserves so he can get a badge and a gun. He said he wants to ask for extra pairs of handcuffs, and if possible the whole shackle get up for his crazy out of control kids. He was joking of course, but there really are different sorts out there.
  15. Congrats! That'll show the nay sayers. You are a master. I wish I had the eye/talent so that I could finish my project. See! I voted for the Texaco one as well. Keep voting! Maybe Terry will share the gas!
  16. By the way, vote for the Texaco one. He is in 6th place for th '70's decade.
  17. Registered so I could vote. Hope he wins!
  18. Interesting discussion on this one. How do you guys feel about walking a batter? Or, maybe you just hit the batter with the ball and give him a base? The latter makes for better TV when the batter rushes the mound and the dugouts clear out to join the insanity. I don't really have a point, just thinking out loud.
  19. Didn't you know, owning a Volvo is better than a Ferrari http://www.metacafe.com/watch/61689/volvo_kids/ I looked all over for the commercial that was just race footage and a volvo wagon flys by and it pauses and rewinds and then the caption says, "Yep, its a Volvo Wagon."
  20. It looks like you are off to a good start. I don't see any holes in the floor. Is the metal compromised? POR-15 loves rust. Are you sure you need to replace them? Good luck either way.
  21. I agree that it could be done. I have put in and out enough times on the stock tank to study it. I ended up rotating it in the stock tank almost 180 degrees since my tank is rotated too and I have no problems. The stock tank has a small flat circle area for the pump that would be similar to a cell.
  22. Why wait? A couple of zip ties and you are ready to roll! I still have an orange juice jug as my radiator overflow tank.
  23. That is what we were all doing before JCI kits for the LS1. http://www.geocities.com/maichor75104/photos2.html
