Looks Looks Rad man...Oh your a local Vancouver guy. Good to see some local s30s.

Well said, how many times have we re done something because we rushed through it LOL... I am at that " I want to drive my car" stage again..this time with body work..blah LOL

Very nice compilation! I will be using some of these to calm my chassis lol

Very nice work. Stoked to see the progress...So much metal work wow...

I rebuilt my hvac system and are in the process of putting it back together ... Make sure you are getting vaccum by pulling off the "S" hose off the selector and feel it with your finger...

I kept my twins... No issues with clearance..I think some guys used 2j housings to help with clearance

Living in the PNW..I feel your pain with wet traction..but for Dry traction I ran R888...holy hesus was she amazing in the dry!

Oh, and I am using 1jZ bored out twins from driftmotion running 14 psi with 436 WHP.... fyi

Wider tires and an LSD REALLY REALLY REALLY Help. 255/40R17 Firestone Oval firehawks (summer) Mfactory LSD Makes a big big difference!

Its a great starting point. I would just buy that mount.

The cx racing kit for the R154 will require a bit of modification for the W58. It was pretty easy to do.

I removed it, Removing was Easy.... Dollying it out and getting the welds perfect..LOTS of work!!! Ended up skimming the roof like 3 times to get it perfect! Super happy with the result but damn I wish I bought one without a sunroof LOL...

Good luck with the build. You have all winter!

no man, the camber is super close if you just do the standard drop of 1-1.5" If you haven't purchased the shocks and springs go with BC coilovers. They have an integrated pillowball mount, camber plate! Where in Canada you at?

Thanks for the feedback. I hear good things about the swift springs option... Do you have any pics of the 240z with all the gear installed?

I would have gone with Tokicos if i could find them...They are discontinued.... I would go with the recommended 4k up front and possibly 4.5-5k in the rear..

You can't lose with either option but theres something about keeping an inline 6 ...and BOOOOOOOOST! I went with Microtech with my JZ swap and had a SUPER easy time installing... I also used CX racing mounts. They did a decent enough job!

Hey guys, I am very unhappy with the way the eibach progressive springs and kyb shocks ride. I feel the car is bobbing around and having a hard time loading the suspension into slightly more aggressive corners. I am in the process of ordering some BC Coilovers for my 280 (1JZ, poly bushings , 245/40R17, 17x9 and ZG flares(presently its on blocks and being assembled). The car will be primarily a daily driver in the spring, summer, fall with the odd autocross day. I don't want to slam it, making it difficult to navigate city streets or sore after driving for an hour lol. I would like it to look decent with good handling. After reading through some of the comments It seems like the standard coil overs do not drop the car very much (0-2"). The s30 especially the 280z is SUPER high and needs to be brought down a bit.... After speaking with BC they told me I can define the exact drop I would like so I am thinking of getting a custom kit with a 1.5-4.5" drop. (4k(225 lb/inch) in the front and 5k (280 lb/inch) for the rear. (Stock is 115.4 Front, 127.7 Rear)) They also said they will be changing the shock body size and stroke based on my request. For a standard lowering kit they run 230mm body with 110mm of travel in front and 290mm body with 140mm travel in rear. They will probably take 20mm off each body and stroke length if I get a lower kit. Pretty neat eh... Any feedback or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I did the same thing u did. In the process of getting it welded shut! Good job on headliner. I am scared of doing it myself...lol Is it pretty easy?

I know this is an older conversation but I am about to do this. If you do not use any camber plates would you still cut the rear struts 1.5"? Were you happy with the 1.5" off to front? Do you get good road clearance after changing tires?

I called them up and they quoted me $2600 for a set...not too bad I guess..

Porsche Aqua blue Mettalic M5R

Very nice metal work man... I ended up just replacing my hatch, sil with new/used components in better shape. Saved me a lot of time and agony..just my 2 cents.. Im here now...

I restored my dash..I was about the same condition yours was. Cost me $100 in materials and I am very very happy with the results. I couldnt find a picture of the completed dash but here is the main foam and filler done.. SEM Texture coat and SEM trim black and it looks like new!!!

I was in the same shoes as you man.... I ended spending almost a year of it on blocks...might as well..might as well..etc etc etc...nearly 6K in body work ( a lot done by myself) and now paint.... Its a slippery slope for sure. I am glad I did it but didn't realize how much it would actually cost to do it right...
