  1. Whoa that is awesome! Please keep updating this thread!
  2. bump for this old thread! Great info, I just picked up an S15 HLSD carrier Im planning to run in a longnose with custom axles, I dont have the S15 stubs with it but by the list it looks like either a Q45 or Z32 T stubs will work? just want to see if anyone here knows any reason why I couldn't use the Q45/Z32TT in an S15 Helical? would make it a lot easier to source on this end and I could use the Q45/Z32 inner CVs as well which I can find in a day. thanks guys!
  3. wow those look like standard size ZG flares? if so then wow, nice!
  4. Great work Geojoe, looks awesome! And what were those original gold wheel in that first pic?
  5. Also mods can you PLEASE not close this thread or move it to the tool shed like you did the last two. If anything this thread should be Pinned at the top. Getting rid of these threads just makes it easier for this guy to keep ripping people off.
  6. thanks guys! I wasnt sure about the JCI ones since on mine theres a special hole cut on the drivers side for the steering shaft, but maybe its because the mounts are offset from each other that allows the RHD shaft to clear. I'll confirm with them, thanks again!
  7. I like these since they are a much more simple design and bolt right to the stock motor mount pads on the front cross-member and also have 3" of adjustability. Im running the JCIs right now but looking for an alternative for the buddy in Japan is RHD (and JCI is made for LHD). Talked to a couple people that have them installed now and like them but so far their cars aren't on the ground yet. Just wanted to hear if anyone has had them on the road yet. thanks! http://dirtydingo.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=1430
  8. just looked through your gallery, good god!! O_O
  9. aongch, what size tires are you running F/R on those Wats? Looks great!
  10. damn I know Im going to regret selling my Marugen Shokai flares, You were able to get those to fit pretty well without a G-nose. Looks great!
  11. I can tell you just installed that big muffler but its not going to last long there at all. The bottom of that muffler is clearly at least 6" below the crossmember.
  12. Ya, Z's were called "The-Poor-Mans" a lot of different cars in the 70s, but really it was all a pretty flimsy excuse to make Jag, Porsche, Alfa, etc owners feel better about the fact that Zs were spanking their cars for a fraction of the price. Haha, old Jags. Have fun with those Lucas electronics "Rich-Man"!
  13. haha sorry, Im already so tits deep in this build... after dozens of project cars this will prob be the one I sit on till I pass it onto my kid.... so he can wreck it
  14. yeah I was going to say theres no way you'd ever fit 225s on the back of that without flares anyhow. looks good though, what do those wheels go for?
  15. yeah they were discontinuing the 245/45/16s a while ago but the porsche guys made such a big stink about it (very poular size with old 911s) they brought them back and they will def be a few street/track choices for the next few years to come at least. those RE11 have good reviews and probably your best bet if you're looking for a street tire. Im running RA-1s full time on mine, they make very good street tires (if you dont do much driving in the rain) And the last time I ran them as street tires on my old STI I got a bit over 10k miles out of them. Since my Z isnt my DD 10k would probably last me about 3 years, and by the third year even if they had gotten a bit harder they would likely still be about the equivalent of any other summer street time.
  16. yeah its all custom adjustable mounts and the wing is cut from 1/2" tinted plexiglass
  17. Jon Im not sure where you are getting 2 inches from, but 245/45/16s are only 1/2" more OD than 225/50/15s (24" vs 24.5") and believe me I agonized trying to find a decently wide tire in 15 or 16 that kept it as close to 24" OD as possible, the 245/45/16s were the best choice.
  18. But all the cool kids were mounting them low, I just wanted to be cool too!! but yeah it turns out that was the biggest problem, after I got the the arches cut out and raised the flares up today everythings sitting right. I purposely installed the the flares lower first just to be safe since I knew I could go higher but once their cut i cant go lower. I might still go a higher on the flares but Im certain now I dont need to raise the car any higher. thanks guys!
  19. 225 front/250 rear 10" springs with the GC kit. and right now Im running the stock top/hats insulators. I'll be installing the T3 front plates, wasnt planning on running rear plates but i will if you think I'll be able to raise it up another inch, Thanks John! And Rebekah, Its right at 6" from the floor to the bottom of the pinch flange FWIW, thanks!
