    The frame rails help support the entire front of that car. If your sway bar is bending your entire frame, you've got issues with more than sway bar mounting. I think the sheer number of cars with upgraded bars that have torn sheet metal around the mounting nuts shows where the weak point is.

    Three sides? Really it's just the one side. The common fix is to just weld a thicker spreader plate over the area.

    Push the clutch in and turn the key?

    Why the desire to go vertical? Just for packaging?

    Judging by his profile, I would guess that he owns Milkfab

    1973 Pedal Box

    calZ posted a topic in Parts Wanted

    I'm looking to buy 1973 240Z pedal assembly with the larger brake booster hole pattern. I have a 1972 assembly as well as a 280Z assembly, if someone is more interested in trading. I'm located in Los Angeles, but willing to pay for shipping if necessary.

    Frame Rails

    Also because the market for $2k replacement rails is super small

    Yeah. A header made for the larger square ports should be larger than any round port. It isn't really ideal for perfectly smooth flow, but it's functional and likely won't be noticeable.

    You can use a square port manifold on a round port head I believe, just not the other way around. As long as the square gasket holes are larger than the round ports, it'll work.

    You're selling the Z32? How much are you asking?

    Now that I will agree with. You don't need all the capture area, and angling the ducting to act as a diffuser and increase pressure at the expense of velocity is good for the radiator. It doesn't match your statement that the angling would create a venturi effect and increase airflow at low speeds, though.
  12. calZ
    Explain what you mean by inward and outward bends. If I'm reading it correctly, you're saying that having a narrower opening and increasing the area of the duct towards the radiator will increase the velocity of the air going through the radiator?

    I've never owned one, but R230 should be an R230. If it's the same diff, the center sections should be swappable.

    Bending the shroud inwards would be a mistake, imo. A flat piece of aluminum is bad enough in terms of blocking flow. Moving it even closer to the core would mean your radiator area is now the size of your two fan openings.

    There are products like this, but you'd have to find one that matches the Datsun thread. https://speedhut.com/accessories/sensors/speed-sensors/speedbox-cable-included-gps-vss-to-mechanical-drive-speed-converter/

    Shade tree guys should still use respirators. PPE is very important in the garage

    Pictures would help

    It's not viewable unless you're a member of the page. Have a screenshot?

    I don't think I've seen anyone mold in ZG flares, since their whole aesthetic is the bolt on look. Plenty of people have molded in other flares, though. The bodywork in this thread was really well done.

    Four (or more) pins definitely make it easier to get into the engine bay and do things, but 2 pins and hinging it is infinitely easier if you're by yourself. You also avoid needing to find space to set the hood or worrying about the wind flipping it and ruining the paint. It's all tradeoffs.
  22. calZ
    Multiple people have said it already, but if everything in the diff checks out and it's still noisy, check things that aren't the diff. A slight vibration could make a lot of noise with stiff mounts. A video like Sanchez asked for woild help us help you.

    What are you planning on ducting the air to? And why did you add in scoops for the stock fresh air vents on both sides? Worried about needing that much ventilation?

    This should be in the for sale forum, since it's not a project thread. You need to be a donating member to post there, though.
