[Recaro Profi XL in 280Z?]

Come on guys, I cant be the only heavy guy on this forum. What wider seats have you gotten to work?

[Recaro Profi XL in 280Z?]

Has anyone installed these in their Z? I found a post regarding the standard width Profi fitting but nothing on the XL. What have you larger drivers found that fits you AND the car?

I know this is a very old post but? I am trying to find if anyone has managed to fit the Recaro Profi  XL seats into a Z. I have a 280 and am researching what wide seats will fit. Maybe you are still a member?

Gotta be some bigger guys out there. What seats did you get to fit into your car?

[Racetech RT4000wx seats-Larger drivers?]

I was wondering if anyone on here has fit these Racetech seats into their car. I am a little on the large size (250lbs+) and am trying to figure out what seats will fit me and the car. I have sat in Sparco EVO III's and Chrono's and fit in those but they have much wider outside base or wing dimensions. Any large drivers out there who have this figured out?

Hi All I did some number crunching and I can sell the 39 spline kit depending on components for $ 2635.00 - 2875.00

 

Happy Holidays

Does this price still stand and what component differences are you talking about. Mine is a 280z with an R200.

Actually I bought a Kaas 1.5 way. Its a stock LS3 out of a 2012 Camaro so its 426hp. I plan on keeping it at that HP level at least for now.

[Will a 2012 Camaro LS 3oil pan fit?]

Just wondering if I will have to modify or replace the oil pan that came on the used LS3 I purchased. Guy said it was out of a 2012 Camaro. It has the oil to water heat exchange part on the drivers side 

 

I guess I should have mentioned WHAT I was putting the LS3 in- 1976 280Z

You can use that thing by you right knee with the knob on it to make minor adjustments in gear ratio when needed. All ya gotta do to make your diff ratio all wrong is to change tracks or events. And forget about using 6th gear, unless you get a 4.38 diff, in which case, you can forget about using 1st.

I guess when you put it that way. There are three tracks within an hour or so, all quite different. The heck with it, I'm leaving the 3.54's in. Thanks

You gear the car to hit the HP peak at the end of the longest straight in the car's highest gear.

I guess I am going to have to get the car on the track with the 3.54's and just see what I get. I am going to pick out the wheels and tires and have to adjust to those.

What diameter tires? What rev limit? 3.7 works well with 25" and 6700 rpm but not so much with smaller diameter. At least for most all the road courses I've raced. You'll never use first and likely not second either on a road course. Im currently switching to 3.54 to better match 23" race tires. For fun runs it really doesnt matter though.

Since I am installing a big disk brake I will probably use 16" wheels, not sure on tire diameter maybe 25" The LS3 peaks around 6000 rpm so maybe 6500 rpm limiter

Thanks guys, I'll leave it alone then and try it out. I purchased and LS unit  and thought if I was needing a change now would be the time to do it.

Wont be a daily driver, probably to some cruises plus its 100 moles to the track.

I'm installing an LS3 and TR 6060 with the 3.01 first gear in my 280Z. My goal is to run it for fun on the local ( Denver area) road courses. I believe the diff has stock 3.54's? What would you guys (or gals) recommend for a good all around ratio.
