[Wheel rubbing, help! ***PICS***]

Yep. You're gonna have to roll your rear fenders.

 

I have your same setup — 225's on 16x8 XXR's. I got a local Z shop to roll mine in order for it to not rub, but be warned that your fender lips WILL warp a bit.

[Crazyoctopus 1972 240z build up (long first post)]

Stick with the BRE lip.

 

If you go with the Type-1 airdam, then you'll just be another Yuta.

 

...And you're better than that

[From The Ashes]

Holy cow! You really lucked out!

[Panda S30?]

A white S30 with black stock 240Z vinyls on the sides, black (or CF) ZG fenders, black (or CF) hood, and a black (or CF) BRE spoiler would look pretty mean

[Crazyoctopus 1972 240z build up (long first post)]

You, sir..

 

You win.

[Crazyoctopus 1972 240z build up (long first post)]

Lookin' gooooood

 

I'm really excited to see more!

[Crazyoctopus 1972 240z build up (long first post)]

One quick question.

 

Is there a reason why you went with the Diamond Pro series instead of the Challenger (about $20 less)?

[Japanese Classic Cars Fun Ride]

Change of venue, I'm guessing? Since Angeles Crest Hwy is closed indefinitely and all

[Just finished s13 coilovers into s30]

For those looking for a mid price unit, I got off the phone with Stance USA today and they have developed a perch that fits Z's and their coilovers with availability in the next 8 weeks.

 

They also are willing to see the s13 set with 4 perches for the front but I was not quoted a price. I gave them my info and will have more info as it develops. Will be starting a separate thread as well.

 

Any word on the Stance perches? When I get the coilovers on my S30, I was figuring that I might as well go with some good coilovers. Stance is pretty much my #1 choice.

[Crazyoctopus 1972 240z build up (long first post)]

Can't wait for you to lower it! The fitment is going to be insaaaaneeeee

[carburetor choice]

Not trying to thread jack, but I have a question for Grumpy.

 

What carburetor + intake manifold should I get for my 305 Chevy? Engine is completely stock

[JDM huge fender flares]

Got a guy here in San Diego with molds that makes the kit. We had him make our kit in Carbon Fiber. We sold our extra kit already to a guy in Mizzou. If serious and you have the money I can see how much a set in fiberglass will cost you. It is an 8 piece set which includes the 4 overfenders, 3 piece rear spoiler and large front spoiler. The kit is for a G-nose car as well.

 

 

I PM'ed you awhile back, but can you get a quote for a full fiberglass kit please? Thanks

[240Z Door panel part numbers available!]

do they only carry the door panel in black?

[JDM huge fender flares]

Gotta agree with HS30-H here about those flares being different from each other. The flares on the black car are "original" Arita Speed flares. You can visit their website for more info about them if you can read japanese.

 

The flares on the black G-nose aren't REALLY Arita Speed, right? The Arita Speed kit seems to be molded fenders, whereas the black G-nose seems to be riveted on.

[Bumper Fillers?]

Where can I buy the chrome fillers that can cover up the holes on the bumpers? I'm not really sure what to call them. Can anyone help out?

[How do you allow your V8 to breathe??]

I was trying to search the forum for an answer but could not really find a definite one, so...

 

How do you let your V8 breathe!? Right now its summer and my V8 Z doesn't seem to appreciate it much. Normal daily driving and waiting in traffic makes the temp raise a considerable amount.

 

I'm guessing that a very limited amount of air is reaching the air cleaner and I just want to see how you guys deal with it. Pictures would be nice, too!

[What color is your z?]

Brown :]

 

[Wheel Show! Post your pics of you wheels]

I would love to find some of these.

 

 

 

 

but I wish they had more of a negative offset. I <3 huge lips

[cost for an LSx 240Z swap]

as for P/S for the LS1, has there been anyone that has made a custom P/S for their build?

[Swapping My LS1 into another Z!]

since the gearbox doesn't line up correctly, what do you plan to do?

 

Sorry if this is a silly question, but I always wanted to know.

[Best place to get a good deal on an ls1 or ls2 and 6 speed tranny?]

does anyone know any good deals for the LSx/t56 tranny combo in California?

 

I've seen a lot of websites advertising turn-key engines, but they're pretty pricey.

[Those of you with LS1 240Z's]

Thanks for you replies, guys! I'm definitely feeling good about the LS engine, but as far as dropping the engine and transmission into the car, are there any big jobs to be done? Perhaps fabrication wise?

 

And for you California residing guys, do you know of any shops or certain people that are capable of doing the swap? Because I definitely can't do this job myself, and I want the car to stay as my daily driver, so I need the swap do be done 100%.

[Those of you with LS1 240Z's]

I have a '73 240Z with a 305 SBC and I've been playing around with the idea of replacing the old 305 with an LS1. I've been researching and looking around for info about the swap for awhile, but I just want to hear from those of you driving LS1 Z's. My question to you is: when doing the swap, did you run into any nightmares? Or anything more difficult than usual. ALSO, I would like to hear all the good things about running with the LS engine.

 

I already know some of you may categorize MONEY into being a nightmare, but I'm well aware of the cost that accompanies the swap and I am prepared to eat spam and bread for awhile

[WANTED: 1973 Front Bumper]

Looking for a good condition late model 1973 240Z bumper.

[Coolant boiling -- WHAT?]

Okay, so today I did some spirited driving in 90 degree weather. I pulled over to let the car cool down and I opened the hood only to be greeted by some boiling, gurgling noises from the coolant reservoir tank.

 

I'm pretty sure the engine was running a little hot, but I'm pretty sure its not supposed to BOIL the coolant, right?
