What kind of price are we talking here I need a new windshield and would love a flush fit. I think the trim really takes away from the car.

Sorry if I missed that....

Another link I found using the search bar here...........http://www.zforceproductions.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=71&Itemid=14

http://www.zccjdm.com/catalog.php/azcarbum/dt94054/pd2134437/JDM_SOURCED__FIBERGLASS_DOORS_S30Z_.... There was another topic recently about someone making glass doors and it pops up fairly frequently here. These are the the only ones I know exist for sure but I seem to remember John I think his name is at Reaction research having some, not for sure though.

Topic says it all I am looking for a Arizona z four barrel manifold I have a spare 73 240 and most exterior parts are in good shape wanting to trade but also willing to pay cash.

I have two that need cleaned in 81504 Colorado

Stupid idea but they are the ones that catch me all the time.... fuel pump not working right?

Yes I am a classic example of getting ahead of Myself that is why I post my ideas like this here, I find more intelligent people can keep me from going to big .. lol thank you all

I have two but need cleaned and I am in Colorado

I picked up these fender mirrors and want opinions on how they may function and look. I got them for 20 bucks so not to bad, I am going to have them powder coated 20% gloss black. As for mounts I am going to make plates under the fender and sandwich the fender between the mirror and mount plate. I have downloaded the mirror template for left hand drive and plan on using that as the guide. Does any one see any issues with this installation ideas or logic or choice of mirrors?

As far as engines go I am going to go with Tony's advice and keep it simple he has shown copious amounts of evidence that these cars were good back then and now in a relatively stock form.

Welding and fabrication are easy I was once an assistant manager for a fabrication company, We mainly did structural steel. Things like moment frames and beams but also did hand rails and other small things. The last truck I built was a 73 international short bed, I put a 350 motor and trans in there as well as a np205 transfer case I had Alcan make springs and sat it on 36's It was sweet wish I still had it.. My problem is unless a engineer or architect hands me plans I don't know where to start,lol, I get lost with out directions.

Probably wont beat Pastrana or Block but it would be fun..

Lol.. you are a treasure trove of awesome pictures, Maybe I can build it for the Cog rally in Steamboat springs CO next fall.... Just have to find a rule book...

So in conclusion the timing chain was out of time and incorrectly installed and wore out. I replaced the distributor drive shaft, oil pump, timing chain, and added a racing dampener as well as purchasing a cardone 280 zx distributor and accel coil. The car now runs like a top and all timing issue's are resolved.

So my Hitachi's are no good , I have a set of four screw carbs and thinking about having Z therapy redo them but I am also looking at the 4 carb Mikuni HSR kit fromhttp://www.v-performance.com/products/air_fuel.html#mikuni_hsr_series_carbs they cost 2295, I have also looked at Extruda body and Patton for fuel injection These all look like good options I am more comfortable with carbs than computer tuning so that is a factor in my head making me lean towards the HSR's but I came up with a rough estimate of 1500 to do fuel injection. My priorities are mileage and power in a happy medium area I know this has been discussed on the forum and the consensus is the fuel injection is the best route, but I have found very little info on the HSR's and what I am reading on the website for them leads me to believe they are on par or very close to fuel injection qualities. Is this right or have these carbs been passed by as a general due to not being much better than proper round tops.

Yea I really like the idea of the KA swap torque lightweight... I am really liking this idea... those pics are huge inspiration.

Those pictures are sweet..very nice,thank you. The suspension looks stock with the exception of the way bent tie rods. It seems I was over thinking things and trying to turn this in to another horrendous Jeep thing, lol.

Lol.. Yes I made that qualifying statement about 38 potentially being to large.. 30's pushing it... hmm that sucks. I thought the Baja's were about 30. Hmmm, definitely not going with truck frame idea to make it look stock I would have to channel the body and drop it over the frame. I would rather deal with smaller tire's. What tire size did the old pros run? My honest use is to drive around the desert and find gophers and old mine and such. So nothing super extreme is needed. 38's would just be my testosterone talking

I am definitely planning on the steel reinforcement I was going to leave the stock motor but the ka is cheap and has good torque. I love that first pick with the 510 I am torn on which on I like more...lol it is just the suspension that gets me. If it were a truck I would know what to do. I am thinking 32" tires at the least 34" would make me more comfortable R200 with 4.10 would be perfect for gears I have always had good luck with that ratio. The articulation of the suspension is my biggest concern. I am a little ways from doing this as I want my daily's exterior restored first. The majority of the money spent on this project will be in the suspension followed by safety I am going to go to the farm supply and buy tractor paint so definitely nothing fancy.

I expected some guff for choosing this platform but as it stands I have cannibalized many parts from it for my daily driver I have panels for it but they are rusty to say the least I have been re-working the good ones for my daily and restoring it as i drive it and was looking at the parts unit today and was thinking it would be cool to kinda replicate the rally and Baja cars. I just am not sure how they went about fitting larger tires and the ideas I posed originally were the best guesses I could come up with and have it be strong and flexible. I have found this site to be beyond helpful and thought with the immense collective knowledge here I would be pointed in the right direction

This is my motivation. I just want something slightly bigger, No rock crawling or anything just to drive around the dessert and see what I can find maybe some gophers..lol. I see no issue with the chassis design for this idea. The Baja cars and other off road racers did quite well in there day if I am not mistaken.

So I am contemplating lifting a spare 73 240 I have. Right now I am thinking on using the Megan coil overs with longer adapter tube and a 1.5 inch aluminum spacer block like they use to lift Subaru's, or custom mounts with Fox shocks, I am sure that custom arms will need to be made to keep geometry right. If I do this I want to do it right. None of that truck frame adaptation junk it never looks right. I have lots of BLM desert where I am so that is the motivation. I am thinking 36-38" tires, but that may be optimistic in height and not needed I may just have the four by mentality kicking in on that one. What are the ideas opinions and criticisms here who would be recommended to design and build control arms? Probably a r230 diff and axles for strength slightly built motor with fuel injection no interior other than seats and maybe a stereo, trans unknown yet I haven't done enough research I have always liked the TH350.

Datsun Parts LLc. sell's them on eBay black and red ones I think. Great guy to deal with.

Any Ideas where I can find a similar oil cap filler?
