Hey thats pretty kewl...... nice work

That is a true "Computer Desk"

Do you mean Front Frame rails? ( not subframe connectors, I think the two terms are interchanged alot , and causes alot of confusion , at least for me.) Pete has good info for subframe connectors (link given above), that is what I used to build mine , as for front frame rails , I have a post http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=94710 where I made mine, and the drawings I made are available in the post as a PDF file. This is for a 78 280z, the 240z's may be different.

Its a floor temperature sensor for the emissions system it connects to a relay under the passenger seat

That may work, It really comes down to what you feel is safe for you and your passengers. Box tube is stronger than channel , and I'm by no means an expert in chassis construction. take pictures and post your progress.

That is some beautiful work Viperredls1z! Please tell about the fittings you used! I never found any that I thought would work, that put my project on hold. Looking forward to your report after everything is operational Did you powdercoat the crossmember?

Actually they do protrude thru the floor , they are the same 2X3 " .093 wall reqtangular tube that I used for the subframe, and they are welded all around to the subframe. I found this pic of the Xmember tack welded to the subframe ( I've since fully welded them in) this view is the drivers side from inside the car. Make sure your cross member is very solid. Alot of bad things will happen very quickly if this comes loose.

The tans xmember is approx 11" back center to center from the original xmember and center to diff mounting flange is approx 25.5" Greg here is a PDF of the parts ( see attachment ) Its what i used to make mine, I use Unigraphics at work and design my stuff after hours, we don't have a PRT to DXF translator license so I cant distribute models. I need to stress that these dimensions are for my setup , you will have to change some things to work for you depending how your sub-frame connectors are installed. 280Z_T56_XMEMBER.rar

Awsome job , Looks great , I'm jealous So what headers are you using?

If I were building a track car I would most likely not do it, I would say the weight is about the same just from memory of moving them around, I haven't weight them. I found it on Ebay , took awhile but they are out there. As for why? Well this Z is a project , I'm not going to race it , It's not my daily driver, It's a hobby , a challenge to learn things, basically I'm doing it to see if I can. I'm in no hurry to complete it and when I'm done I will have a sporty fun to drive summer car that I can say " I made it" .

Heres the Specs on the Subie Forester Rack :

That is the work of someone with alot of ambition and no taste.

I rebuilt my front frame, here is the thread : http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=94710&highlight=save+zee

I believe the 914-6 came from the factory with the flat 6. That would be a fun car..... *Bart you beat me I type tooooo Slowwwww......*
