  1. Hey guys I'v been looking at how to do COP on my 81 280zx. I like that some are using the damper with a ring on it but that removes the AC belt and in some cases the relocation of the ALT. I'v been throwing around the idea of a smaller ring in place over the ignition rotor. Would that work???

    Thanks for all the help.

     

    Oh and I now alot of people like 2-60 air (two windows down 60mph) but I like the AC when its 100 plus degrees. :D

     

     

    Anyone?

    Hi guys

     

    spoke to Guy at work and here are a few more details on the shells & panels:)

     

    Body tub is complete frp (Fibre Reinforced Polymer) monocoque. It is a lot stronger than OE datsun tub.

    It does have the Steel tubing incorporated in the laminate from bulkhed, up screen pillars through roof perimeter etc.

    Inner sills, rear quarters double skinned like original tub but marine grade foam filled (for extra coolness :)

     

    these features put altogether make this into a very strong safety cell. Regardless of intended use, whether it be track or road, motor-sport or daily driver.

     

    Tub + all frp panels Sub 150Kg (330 pounds)

     

    It does not mount to a z chassis as it is a FRP monocoque.

    Also said that he wouldn't really recommend the chassis exactly like the one he has in the pics. Instead He would go for a much simpler bulkhead fitting version that could easily be built buy us or (from our plans) by your local garage maybe yourself if you have the skills?:)

     

    Shell + all panels £3750.00 (individual panel prices if needed tomorrow)

    shipping around the world should not be a problem in this day & age, so will enquire about that when/if necessary :D

  4. Dude, you just need to leave your car alone if you can't measure anything

     

    Why are you talking? Not only am I ASE cert. but I also know how to TIG and MIG weld. I most like done more fab work this weekend then you have done your entire life. The only reason I said most likely is because I got the the race shop late on saturday. Thats the place where I have measure and fabircated most of the late model car I'm helping built.

     

    So thank you for reading all of the post.
