I was just thinking you guys might want to comment on my wheel fitment because i have used this site to figure it out size and offset and lots of my own measurements of course. I have s13 coilover right around with s13 knuckles and custom control arms up front. These picks of the rear wheels are with 235 45 but have been changed now to 255 40 and i haven't rolled the guards and more than they are in these pics and they fit fine. So what do you guys think?

Yes I probably would have bought a new one if I lived in the US but they are hard to get in Australia.

I still have not tested brakes or the new suspension yet or new turbo either, because I must of blew a head gasket at the last powercruise in the burnout competition holding third too long.

I'm sill in the middle of my restoration part of my build, but I've finished the engine swap, still doing power mods, do you ever stop? I don't mind helping you guys as much as I can. I used a custom/modified origanl sump to a rear sump which I made myself and oil pick up. First thing, I cut the baffling out of the original sump then cut the sump off at the base, flipped it 180 degress then reshaped it to the same shape as the base then welded it back together. Then I modified the curve in the sump where it goes from shallow to deep to get more clearance to the cross member and made new baffling from sheet metal. I can put pictures up tomorrow, just not on my computer at the moment.

nissan maxima ball joints with extended standard lower control arms but plan is to make custom control arms with rose joint fitting once the car is finished.

It's not a rb26 it's a rb25det neo with 26 covers i know its cheating but got them for $80 and they look so good but im going to grind down the 26 on the front cover to say 25 and re spray them.

+1 I agree with tec280zx but i'm going to have to try somthing like this because I have already snapped one axle and i'm going to add a lot more power so I'm going to have to do something like this to strengthen the rear end

some pics of my new mods hop you like. Please resize pics before posting them on HBZ. 3450x 2600 is way too large thanks

yer I'm going to make it so I can put the original rear calipers and hand brake back in if required to over come that proplem, I reckon I'll get away with it in Tas it's pretty relaxed over here. I will post pics of all new models including rear brakes and front s13 coliover set up tomorrow.

I should be testing all the new mods this weekend as they should be finished before stipping the car for painting.

I used gtr rotors redrilled and calipers with a plate that i had lazer cut after making a templet just having shims machined this week to line the caliper up with the rotor and i will be converting the original hand brake lever to hydrolic that will be tapped into the rear brake lines.

sorry just the suspension is s13

I believe you mean mode plated i am going to try now that i have r32 gtr brake right round and once painted.

so no coilover, brakes, nistune, greedy intake, z32 afm, ect

No everything need just to get the car on the road no engine bolt on's ect

but if i lived in the us i recon i could have done it for less than $5,000USD

I did most of it my self and it cost me a tuch under $8,000AUD with out any bolt on parts that i have now.

hop to be purchesing the big power up grade for it soon a Garrett gt3076r hop to tune it to around 300rwkw witch will make it fun to drive.

No i haven't but i have been meaning to wright one just got to find the time.

I thought I should share my 1981 S 2+2 build with every one because this web site has helped me build it I had my car for 2 years and drove it around for a year before smashing the gear box and the engine was on the way out so I decided to re power witch took 3 months and I loved driving around because it was such a sleeper i also took it to the strip and ran 12.9 at 107MPH before braking a axle. but since then i have decided to make it a track monster. so fare my car has: polyurethane bushings rb25det neo front mount inter cooler 3 in m/s turbo back exhaust R32 gtr brakes all around S13 coilover all around with front knuckles as well nistune ecu r200 long nose 2 way LSD custom tail saft custom triple core aluminum radiator custom engine and gear box mounts custom tail shaft 444cc gtr injectors greddy intake manifold ford xf throttle body Z32 afm and a complete respray is on the way and a lot more. will post images of S13 front end and greedy manifold tomorrow

i'll try find some pic of what i did tonight some time.

HEY i have done this it is a sick conversion i have a stock rb25det neo in my 280zx running with a custom sump if you want any advice.

Hi, I have a 280zx with a rb25det neo with 250 bhp up front with a 5 speed behind custom tail shaft and r200 long nose nismo 2 way lsd, I'm running ohlin coilovers from japan with 12kg (650 pounds) rear spings. I have been experiencing excessive axle tramp every time i stick my right foot into the floor has any one experienced this problem and found a way to deal with it.
