    Hope you can help as I'm chasing some information if I can on how you have done the front struts as I'm about to start on the Tein conversion, did you cut the existing strut tube off leaving what looks like 25/50mm protruding out of the casting refer to your web site

     

    Datsun 260Z 2+2 - 74 Projekit

     

    image img_4357, then slip your new strut tube over the top refer to your image img_4359 and weld around the base refer page 13 image _MG_8169?

     

    It appears you have done the rear differently by completely removing the old strut tube and have made a new one which looks like it is a press fit into the rear wheel bearing carrier then welded around the top refer page 12 images img_1292 and 1294?. Did you machine out the hole where the rear strut tube is located or leave as per factory?

     

    Thanks for you time and help

    Cheers

    Ian

     

    Yes that rear wheel bearing carrier and strut hole is machined bigger. http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=12268

    New front tube is pressed over existing tube..

    Something new...

     

    I´m adding two more pipes to rollcage

    http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=12312

     

    Sparco 6-point belts

    http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=12318

     

    Suspension parts "final paint" 2k urethane in metallic silver.

    I will change those control rods later to adjustable.

    http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=12508

     

    Putting first suspension parts to body.

    Some parts are plated with electric zinc. I will remove that zinc from "welding area" of those coilover sleeves. My idea was protecting those pipes inside.

    I think those are welded and ready in next week and then my coilover conversion is done. Off course I have to paint whole package after that.

    Mate, I am a bit worried about you "Big exhaust, tranny modification". The width of the tunnel makes it hard to fit a decent seat in as it is. By modifying the tunnel like that, you might have trouble fitting anything but existing seats (most new seats will require lower mounts as you don't sink into the seats).

     

    That new "tunnel" ends right before passenger seat. I fitted my sparco seats while I was doing that. And exhaust will continue "flat" below drifeshaft, after 4" downpipe.

    Rear strut modifications done. Hole drilled from 55mm to 60mm and new coilover sleeve fill fit nicely. Strut housing where the bearings fit also bored from 70mm to 72mm so I can fit Z31 rear stub axles.

    r those su[ppose to be like Skyline tailights?

     

    This car has long history and many owners. If we go far backwards... In some point the original rear lights and some other parts were stolen. I don´t really know that person who built this car before, but i´ve heard something.

    (stripped bumpers, fitted new lights and exhaust, 1st rust removal, red paint and much more)

     

    I´m pretty sure that previous car builder didn´t even know what is Nissan Skyline, and the model was something like Ferrari...

     

    I have now original USA rear lights but I probably change those to Euro model.

    If you are wondering why there is a wheel and tyre..

    It´s because I was measuring what could be ride height for car. With new flares, and without.

     

    Those are summer wheels from my other car. Off course I will test fit again with suspension parts.

     

    When i know what is best wheel offset for my car... I will order new wheels, with correct offset. Before that... it is testing with spacers.

    That's pretty nifty tail conversion, did you buy those pieces you'd tacked on, or are you making these as well?

     

    Also what did you use to undercoat the bottom of your Z?

     

    Phar

     

    Making those pieces off course. I will make aero diffusor later and little modifications to fuel cell bracket.

     

    There is 3 different paint in bottom. Zinc fill, epoxy and alkyd-paint.
