  1. I have had them now for two years and they do wear well, they are also very comfortable. I'm not very big, so I slide right into them...The manufacturer sells the rail, the part number for my 78-280Z was D212T, I believe for your 240z the part number changes to C22011. I don't have the pictures to show you but, we cut out the brackets from the original rails and welded them to the new seat rails. I have about 3/4" clearance on the top of the seat from the door panel and around 3/8" from the lower section to the arm rest at the closest points. Hope that helps you.
  2. JMortensen, The motor is a 3.2 stroker built by Rebello. I first had it running with Mikunis, but I ran out of patience with the tuning process, actually the experience was a nightmare. I switched over to ITB's, installed an AEM stand alone and gave it a 100 shot of Nos....Much happier NOW. The car sounds very much like tripples, backfire and all...It's a daily driver if you wanted to. No videos yet, sorry. You can see my build at http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/99820-carloss-280z/ There are pics before NOS and after with filters.
  3. The wheels are CCW's, 9.5 with 255/40/17's out back and 8.5 with 225/45/17's upfront.
  4. thanks richracing, nice ride by the way...Like your drop a lot.
  5. Hey guys, wanted to play as well...We just finished this recently.
  6. Snap shot of Nos and vac rail, dual tap bar. Fuel rail to itbs...Isis Power System and Strut Towers.
  7. Thanks for your comments, very impressive collection of toys you have there yourself...
  8. John, I appreciate your comments...thanks Carlos
  9. The strut bars are welded to the towers upfront and outback as well...To the same piece that AZ mounts their coil-overs. The same picture above that reflects this item also shows a modest two speaker set up. I have a local guy, (Manny's Sound System) who is part of the south Florida Z club and a huge Z enthusiast himself. Eventually the car will get the sound system upgrade thru him.
  10. To keep a long story short...I Had help from my cousins who both happen to work for me. These guys both have project cars as well. One had an integra at 500 HP or so and the other a mustang with internals and spraying. We decided to do the research and give this project a go. Anytime we were slow we jumped on the car. It started in April of 09 and basically wrapped it up by April of 2010(so we thought)...We added the fuel injection since then. Tuning issues with the Mikunis to blame...Also blew a head gasket and decided to go copper. The entire build, paint and all was mid 30's...Read a lot before you get going on a project like this. There is plenty of right and wrong decisions to live with and also consequences.
  11. Wheels are from CCW model LM20, 17" Rim. I'm running 255-40-17 with 9.5 rims outback and 225-45-17 on front with an 8.5 rim. they are both 25" tall.
  12. Well you get the picture...I'll post some of the goodies and finish product. Other goodies not mentioned: Custom shafts by DDS. CCW Wheels 3.90 Diff with Nismo CLSD Momo Steering Corbeau Seats And pics in this set were taken by Leo from Photography By Leonel
  13. Ok now on to the heart. We called Dave@rebello racing and we settled on a 3.2 . We origianly decided on mikunis ( that was a f***ing nightmare). Eventually crapping that idea and going ITB's. Also installed AEM EMS and 100 shot direct port dry. Needless to say I'm much happier NOW. Thanks to all write ups on matting the KA tranny, We now have one as well. It handles this kind of power very well.
  14. Putting the bay back together. All new brake SS lines, aluminium radiator and a rebello 3.2 stroker(but i'll talk more about that later).
