The TTT arms definitely look better constructed. The Z-force sales pitch of a "true A arm" means little to me. It looks like a few more forces at work.

Those are bitchin sweet! Lots or real estate left for making some adjustable sway bars. The only thing I dont like is they dont tell you the type of steel used on these. At least the other company states they are chromoly.

There's a ton of info there. I didn't think Id get this kind of a response. I wouldn't know the first thing about figuring out harmonics for the best VE. Not that I wouldn't like to learn. I have a limited grasp of what air does going from idle to red-line at this time. I did find the stock diameter for a late E88 was roughly 1.25" and there's 6061 tubing 1.25 ID with .25" wall. Should be plenty of good meat for tapering. Im going to ask a buddy in the tool and die room if he could taper these with 1.25" to get it close enough to the head for port matching and 1.50"/1.57" depending on the diameter of the throttle body I use. There's alot of choices on Ebay for motorcycle ITB's. I wish I could make my own TB but I only have a Mini-lathe, no mill. Nothing is set in stone. Still need to cast the flange that bolts to the head. Find with TB's I want to use and select the tubing. This is a Inch/mm conversion chart I have bookmarked. Comes in handy for quick reference. http://mdmetric.com/tech/cvtcht.htm

I've taken up aluminum casting for a hobby and Im trying my hand at making an ITB setup for an L. Casting small pieces machining them and using tubing available on-line. A friend does AL welding so it works out. My question being; How big do I make the ID of my runner? I had no idea I had four choices between 1.63" and 1.5" and even a 1.25" readily available. Being made from 6061 tubing. I'm just looking for un-restricting a little air for a street car possibly or at the very least adding the ITB rumble they have, just thought it was a cool idea. Hoping I could get an opinion on this from somebody in the know. Thanks

I went to the link. Didn't see anything that said they where no longer available, but I didn't fill the form out either. I just might, once my V8 car is out of the garage.

You forgot my favorite mod. Electric fans

Oh C'mon you can SEE what he did... And to Jeffrox. What I did was put my FPR just near the hood latch and run my pressure line to the front of the fuel rail instead. I have like 8" of hose? But im sure its not a huge deal unless your running on the razors edge of performance.

I wish people would be more clear when posting...

Is the transverse link the big boomerang that the control arms attach to? Iv got one that just recently got pulled from a 83 ZXT. Let me know if that is in fact what you need.

I sell parts on here quite often. I would love the ability to delete my own listings. I assume we (non admins) are locked out of doing this on our own. Is there a way I could report my own listing for deletion? I do not want to cause excess work for the admins here. Thanks

I wonder why someone would ship an engine that far to get rebuild rather than just paying a fine shop in the states to do it? I hope that's a lie.. lol

Sounds exciting. Your right as its not a solvent or a cleanser to a tank. Just a displacer of oxygen in gas form. As my rule of thumb I try to keep it as full as possible to avoid any WHOOSHING.

What kind of car are you working on?

I would think any welder would do what I do. Fill the tank with water and weld away. Find a 75-76 gas tank and get the straps with it. Then your good to go.

What gear ratio? And are you running half shafts or CV axles? I assume half shafts. Both use companion flanges to mount up to the stub axle.

There is no such thing as a single “1980-84" Maxima bracket. There was an 1981 bracket (which you can use with the 1979-81 280ZX rear caliper) and a 1982-83 bracket (which you use with the 1982-83 280ZX rear caliper). The 1984 Maxima rear brackets were welded on. BTW, the 1985-88 Maxima rear bracket is flat and requires modifications (welding and re-drilling) to use. I found this from Zcarnut on here. First time I found something I wanted using the search feature on here... You mention the 86 specifically. Is that the brackets you have? Here's the link: http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/31419-85-88-maxima-calipers-w-82-83-280zx-rotors/

I have seen many different types of vacuum cans on 280zx distributors but from what I can remember they all mounted the same. Im almost certain they mount the same internally from 79-83 glwsearch

Can you use short hat or tall hat 280zx calipers?

Oops

+1 Its not hard to do. read the instructions a few times. go through your parts and make sure there complete. then head into it one step at a time.

Your looking for an 81-83 T3 Turbo. If you don't have exhaust figured out yet you can even use some from the 300zx before they went to a t25. Good luck with the search.

Whatz up Hugh? I sold you that tank a while back and meant to bring the straps with me, but forgot at the time. I still have em sitting on the shelf. If your back on the road yet your welcome to come get them. Im out in Gresham. 162nd area.

75-76 tanks are different than 77-78...
