I think the difference in Japan is that all the buildings damn near touch each other and most houses are built so weak that I could probably knock one down myself. When I take a leak in the morning you can hear it 3 blocks down the street the walls are so thin. Thats gotta be the factor why so much more destruction happens here than most places I guess. CZ:)

Actually thats pretty big if you were near it. I didnt feel anything here but several people died.....god bless them. Terry

dammit, another piece of perfection. Well I would buy this car if I had a place to put it.....again I cant get it becAUSE iM IN FRICKEN jAPAN. $7500 is a steal... Terry

Bartman, if that is basically a 5.7 liter (same as a 350) NA then those numbers are quite good I think. Hell thats 383 numbers for RWHP! I think ZFAN is running those numbers on his 383 build and runs 10s in the 1320! Not bad at all. TErry

I agree....

And they look great! Best deal yet!! IMHO...

Sweet! Thanks gents. Yeah Im all about street and drags...prolly no track time for me so these would be my best bet I think!!

Justin, what does the floor pans look like under that Dynomat? Rust loves floor pans...and firewalls...

Can anyone chime in on the quality of these and if they really dont need anybody mods. I cant tell by the pic how they would bolt up but looks like a good deal for a street strip and maybe just maybe a track day or two or at least the option of some adjustment. http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/PSDC09 Please advise.....

What about TITANIC? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA...seriously I really liked that movie..cant wait to see Transformers and Speed Racer though... Terry

Hey Prox, if I dont use it, its yours brother....

No three spokes yet, I reserved that for my old 190E back in the days...hehehe. Hey ya gotta have a stereo that plays music with some bass to roll the three spokes!!! I dont have a stereo in the cars yet... Terry

HAHAHA!!!

Max, Im gonna put the LSD Long R200 in my Black 240. Gonna put the Aluminum brace setup in the Orange 280 to style it up since its a show car basically. Ill use the R230 in the new build preferably if someone ever makes a mount or Ill just install everything and go get it done at a competent race shop. I just want my new LS1 wide body to have the strongest parts available so all the heavy duty stuff will be for the new build. Im sure by the time I come back there should be some more options for front mounts for the short R200 or R230. damn this stuff is getting expensive but I wouldnt wanna be doing anything else....its such a rush to create your own ride as you know! If I decide to make the R230 a permanent install Ill just have a shop weld in some cross beams left to right and tie into the frame on either side and then weld some mounting tabs off the cross beams and be done with it. Ill just need to source a spare R230 but should be plentiful for awhile I expect. I like Cozy's setup too and may just go that route.....decisions....decisions... Terry

Hey guys, just thought Id update everyone on the parts that I have now for my next build. The first list is things I have already purchased and the second are the things Im still getting. I buy one major thing each month or so while Im here. Oh and I have a LS1 engine/Tranny savings account that gets some deposits monthly. 3 more years and she outta be nice and fat...hehe. Maybe this list would help others with thiers: Z32TT DIFF JOEL HYBRIDZ $300.00 R200 ALUM MUSTACHE BAR LONG NOSE ARIZONAZ $249.00 BILLET REAR BRACE SETUP ARIZONAZ $349.00 Q45 DIFF MAICHOR $50.00 R200 LSD DIFF TRADE $100.00 2 300ZX CV AXLES TRADE $0.00 4 Q45 CV AXLES JOEL HYBRIDZ $0.00 Q45 DRIVESHAFT FLANGE Infinity is 3102-69 $70.00 Z32 DRIVESHAFT FLANGE 6 bolt is 3102-42 $70.00 R230 AXLES WITH STOPS MODERN MOTORSPORTS $398.00 LS1 INSTALL KIT JOHNS CARS $320.00 IMSA FENDER SET OMER $1,200.00 REAR DUCK WING PAULO $60.00 REAR CORVETTE FULL PANEL ZFIBERGLASS $275.00 SS FIBER HOOD 280ZONE $500.00 GNOSE PROXLAMOUS $500.00 GNOSE HINGE BADDOG PARTS $225.00 $4,586.00 Things still need: COILOVER SET MODERN MOTORSPORTS $430.00 Q45 MUSTACHE BAR ARIZONA Z $249.00 REAR 5 LUG BILLET STUBS MODERN MOTORSPORTS $695.00 Q45 AXLE COMPANION ADAPTOR 6 BOLT MODERN MOTORSPORTS $430.00 Q45 FRONT MOUNT HYBRIDZ? $..?

Guy, those look great! Your car looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor!

He is fine and waiting on his MOS school to start. He said he got paired up with a total dirt bag though in his room assignment...lol. Gotta love those dirt bags....A.K.A. the %10 or turds... He wants to go to Okinawa after school so I think there is a good chance of that...we will see! His vocabulary has changed alot...lots of F words and such....lol.

Hey Max! Yes Sir I have been retired since Feb 2004. I am working for the DOD here at Fuji with the Marines...guess I just can't get enough..lol. Terry

I don't see where the problem is? I always enjoyed the rides they gave us (USMC Retired)...

Great idea, anyone wanna contact them directly and see if they make one for the R200? Heres the links etc... http://www.arbusa.com/alac/alsp/Air_Locker_S&P_Manual.pdf Contact: http://arb.com.au/hocris_data/forms.php?type=int_contact Terry

Check here... http://www.slickcar.com/productdetails.asp?ProductID=541 I think Ill order one for the parts bin as well... TErry:mrgreen:

The pin breakage is very common. I have 3 diffs sitting in storage now with all broke pins. I was wondering if we could fab something better or find a way to keep it from coming loose and breaking. Other than that I never had any problems with the R200 open diffs. I was getting 1.59's and 1.60's on launches and the pin has been the only problem. Terry

Jesus, that is so not typical. I am gonna spend a fortune having my weeds cut down. I just hope the land doesnt flood. Flood insurance is not something anyone buys there. My luck my house will flood just because I dont have flood insurance. Maybe I should reconsider? Terry

Jim, easy fix...go here: http://www.supportourtroopsmoas.com/ Thanks for your support! Terry

Paul, hahaha....Im still laughing...hopefully you can view soon...my internet service sux too!
