Quick count looks like 44 teeth. Do you know what the rotor bolt pattern is? Stock is 4x103mm, and the 300zx hubs are 5x103mm. SilverMine uses the 5x103mm pattern on their hubs, but I can't find measurements for AZC or T3. I did find SilverMine blog post from 5 years ago claiming T3 uses 5x3.85", which would limit rotor choices to only T3 stuff. They may have updated since then.

That's the link to the image mentioned above. I'm not sure it it's for an S30 or S130.

I'll put a drawing up when I get everything figured out. I thought about making these to sell as a kit, but since everything seems to be working without modifications it hardly makes sense. I'd just be reselling OEM parts minus the spacer. One more hurdle is that the test fit was on 300ZX turbo hubs. I don't have a pair of 240Z five lug hubs to check clearance on, so the rotor clearance could be different there. Maybe I'll pull off my 4-lug hubs this weekend and give it a look.

6.5mm. I think on the second iteration I'm going to go thicker so I can countersink the bolt heads. I've yet to throw the hub on the upright to check for clearance and how to mount the sensor, but I don't foresee any issues there.

Forester, but yeah. Good call on that.

Update with pics! So the adapter finished printing. I should have taken a picture of the shiny finished product but didn't. I can't now for reasons to be explained soon. I'll attach a pic of the in-progress print. Initial test fits made me think I didn't have a chance to get to the heads of the rotor bolts once the tone ring was on, meaning I'd have to attach the tone ring from the top. Because of this, I left the ring-to-adapter holes small enough to be tapped. There was more space than expected, so I was able to run down the rotor bolts with a 1/4in drive socket at an angle on the head. This won't work when you really need to torque them down, but that's easily solvable by converting to socket cap screws instead of hex head. The tone ring hole pattern is some oddball radius, so I'm still working on that. When drilling the holes to expand them enough to get the bolts to go in, I kind of blew out a couple holes and cracked the adapter ring. Apparently resin printed parts are a lot more brittle than FDM ABS parts. I'm going to print some 100% scale drawings and match the hole pattern up with paper before I print another adapter ring. Long story short, here are a couple pictures of the tone ring mounted. It fits these turbo hubs like a glove.

Good timing. I picked up a tone ring last week and worked on an adapter this weekend. I'm going to need to drill through the original mounting holes of the tone ring so it can be fastened from the top, but it should work. I'll have to make some angled spacers/washers for the final attachment, but I'm 3D printing a prototype adapter ring on my resin printer right now. It just barely fits in the build area.
-
Side note: from what I've read, the LS-B comes in both a fixed and flip-down version. The Trophies flip down, which would presumably help access the hatch area from the front, if that's something you'd like.
-
Rturbo is right. They are Recaro LS seats. I can't see the lower bolsters, but I believe they are the LS-B Trophy, based on the gray center and black vinyl bolsters. It's possible they're recovered, but the LS-B Trophy was the only seat that came from factory with the gray cloth center and black vinyl bolsters. They're out of a Mk2 VW. Here's a general Recaro guide to help you identify/pick exactly which ones you want.

After looking at the build thread, it looks to be an aborted project car.

Chevy 350 SBC 1971 240z Conversion

What's your timeframe like? I grabbed some 300zx hubs from the pick and pull last weekend, and I'm going to try to get some of the tone rings in the next couple weeks. After that, modeling up an adapter and 3D-printing a prototype should be pretty easy. One thing I see as an issue is the attachment. The tone ring will have to be attached to the adapter before the rotor goes on, but the tone ring is going to interfere with the bolts. I think I can get it to work where you'd use a crow's foot socket to install them, but it'll be tight.

DIY Stage III Shift Kit Installation for S30 and S130 Jatco Autos

Thinking about this more, another set of holes would not work unless you convert to modern style wheel stud mounted rotors. Since the tone ring hole pattern diameter is larger than the brake rotor hole pattern, the only way is a spacer ring. I've planning on converting to a modern rotor mount anyway to match the Q45 stuff in the rear, but the kit would probably be useful to more people if it could work with the standard rotor mounting.

I assume the quip you're referring to was my message. I assure you, I'm far from a Datsun purist and was not trying to chase him away. It was pretty obvious the person had gotten to the thread via a Google search, and he had not yet gotten a reply. I was simply letting him know that it's possible someone might have an answer, but that if he's looking for something quick and guaranteed it would be more likely found at a Chevy forum. I wasn't saying GTFO, but rather trying to help him get an answer as quickly as possible. **** me for trying to help, I guess.

Did some searching and figured it out. They're off a 1999 Subaru Forester. The wheel pattern on a Forester is 5x100, and from looking on RockAuto I can see the ABS ring diameter is slightly bigger than the wheel stud pattern. The Nissan 5-lug rotor bolt pattern is 5x103. There's an outside chance those patterns match, but just from eyeballing it the Subaru ABS ring looks bigger. Custom hubs with the correct pattern or just some custom rings would solve the problem, but finding OEM parts for this would be great for cost and availability.
-
What car is this off of? We might be able to find an OEM option that fits the brake rotor bolt pattern.
-
I had just planned on running a hall effect sensor through an enlarged dust cover hole and epoxying a magnet to the back of the hub, but if you get T3 to do something integrated I'd be very interested. Evolved front coils and their 5-lug hubs were on my list anyway.
-
What's the brand on that harness? A search PRP comes up with a ton of options and I can't quite read the smaller text.

This is at least a guide that he's meaning to archive.

Well if the cam sprocket is spinning and the cam is not, something is obviously wrong. It's possible that the bolt that holds the sprocket in relation to the cam worked its way out. Can you check if it's still there?

Is a 750 edelbrock too much for my setup?

This is a Datsun forum. Someone here might have some overlapping knowledge, but you'd have a better chance on a Chevy forum. -
I thought so too, but on the description they call it paint and say it leaves a "uniform 1mil thick epoxy finish". Ah, I thought you were in the PNW since you used Metalworks. Taking it back up would be a pain.
