    https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kyKNIlYgUjI/maxresdefault.jpg im so tempted to try these tyres, probably would ruin ride quality

    Summer getting here, took it on drive after modifications and smaller rear brakes seems much better, braking on a corner rear stays stable. these 185 width tyres doesnt have much grip on full abs braking but ride is nice for 240z.

    I have to drive more now downsized rear brakes. Before it felt like rear already started to bite and front were still closing gap away from pads. Maybe 1" on front and 23.8mm to rear master would help. I have new rotors on front, zero wobble. That doesnt mean they are straight

    rear brakes done, i really dont like brake pedal feel of 240z, i think opposed piston calipers on front does it, they need so much pedal travel. im thinking to try E36 316i calipers on front, it is single piston 54mm floating caliper. i dont know if it can be fitted on stock size disc, at least very ugly adapter is needed

    White Z with black og steelies looks so good

    https://i.imgur.com/9acMc4A.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/HieVggC.jpg Mitsubishi pad is tight fit to ford disc but its there. Parking brake cable needs to be tightened and brake hose to be longer. Looks like quite easy swap.

    my brake bias is bit off, rear is too strong. now i have tilton valve for rear which does its job under heavy braking but doesnt do much on light braking. My rear calipers are ford 43mm, im gonna try mitsubishi 34mm and take pressure limiting away from rear line. with abs, pedal feels odd with limiting

    this is been on my mind. At the moment im making oil pump mount more secure, for the future maybe relocate oil filter and modify my oilpan. Opened my differential, not too bad but needs new friction plates. Here´s some straight 6 turbo smokers for you guys

    Today i changed 2.65 open diff, im opening my 2.79 limited slip to rebuild it. Car works great. Seems team boosted wrecked their diesel 240z

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg_g0yjzJD8 Noticed Team Boosted is swapping OM606 as well, and comments say some guy has swapped as well. i hope that OM648 rear sump fits, my dry sump has half the height of that thing and clearence is very small.

    I get the point 3pc rims, my rims above are 3pc. Not 100% true wheels, maybe one outer and 2 inner parts need to be changed. Oh yea, new wobbly rims from uk. Luckily tyres are about the same so shop with roadforce balancing machine did great job. Never ever gonna buy 3pc wheels

    I´ve had bit problem with wheels balancing. POS british custom rims which aint straight and tyres which seems to be as bad patch... Oh well, took my wheels to local shop who has road force machine. They did their thing and got all wheels under 6kg road force unit, i dont know is it low number or not but now i can drive over 85km/h. early this week did some trip, car does easily 750-800km between fuel fill-up

    Me too, maybe swaybar tab looks flimsy and why do they include such pin bolt where eyelet is under threaded part, 290mm bolt should to better job
  14. manninen
    I have these. I think you guys are on right track, desing aint best. My use is so light i think they will last. im not biggest fan cause those threaded parts are heaviest parts of this control arm and they add unsprung mass. weights 500grams more than stock control arm

    I believe that these bars made some difference, even with rear bar some noises had changes. changed factory rear arms back, car is now road legal for 2 years. rear toe changed from +2.5mm back to +4mm, car is much stable. but felt kind of better with +2.5mm toe. ABS light stays on, abs works with no error codes so im gonna reverse light using changeover relay, cant say whats going on.

    yes there is now rear swaybar too, car controls much better with that. when it looses grip on straight line it does it more predictable way, with out it´s a handful. slightly shortened 18mm front to strut might be good, but 18 and 20mm are bit different shape, 18mm is so close to alternator i dont want to use it

    Okay, now driven on both setups i can tell this mod is way stiffer than original. For normal winding roads, brisk thru roundabouts normal setup is more balanced for my use, but on highway driving faster stiffer feels bit safer. Wet auto-x track would be fun to test on both, i think stiffer would understeer a lot.

    Been driving now some. Added caster stiffened up steering feel but seems it follows these finnish inclined roads more. I have to swap stock swaybar links whats the difference with those. Went better direction with modern seatbelts and powerful brake booster
  19. manninen
    Did not pass MOT cause rear control arms, welded swaybar links were ok. But i have working ABS
  20. manninen
    Yeah you´re right, looses grip before anything breaks. Motor mounts are well engineered

    Body twister, something is gonna break.

    I use noise cancelling bose headphones on longer trips. Lightweight and best sound for car

    I can´t stand car not being driveable and i need clean to my garage anyway. being still one arm man all i could do is to assemble old rear axle parts together. Car is on it´s wheels tomorrow. More upgrades maybe next winter Wonder if i have working abs
