    With those Honda wheel adaptors' date=' you are lucky to find wheels that are 8" wide and no bigger diameter than 17". When I was looking for wheels for my car, I searched many, many sites trying to find a wheel that was 16X9" or 17X9" and there is none in the Honda bolt patern. You would need to go to custom wheels, which is big $$$$ or change over to a five lug setup.

    Bringing up an old post, but I was searching and decided to ask here vs. starting a new topic.

     

    Anyway, stock 240-280 Z lug pattern is 4x114mm or 4x4.5" right? I noticed that Centerline offers some of their 17" rims in 8" and 9" widths and with the 4x4.5" lug pattern. I think that is the route I am going to take. Hopefully they'll have the correct backspacing I need without using spacers.

     

    Does anyone have any input on this?

     

    Thanks for the help guys!!

    Is Anyone Running 'Power Brute' for the R-200?

    in Drivetrain

    Posted

    I have the Precision Gear LSD. It is made by Tokigi Fuji, as is the Nissan and NISMO diff. It is now installed in my '85 turbo 3.54 geared 12mm R200. The diff is in my car, but I need to have a driveshaft made and finish getting the engine and accessories hooked up. I took pics of the install with my old digi cam which uses PCMCIA card. I can't read the card on my USB reader and my laptop is whacked. BUT as soon as I can get the pics I will post a write up.

     

     

    Awesome!!

     

    I can't wait to see those.

     

     

    I am dropping in a mild Chevy 383 stroker/TH350 combo real soon and it would be great to see the diff I might be using.

    About a year ago' date=' when I first decided to get 3.54 gears [i']and[/i] LSD, I made this post: Click Here It may help you out some. I would like to update that post with pictures, but my digital camera is broken.

     

    What year is your R200 out of?

     

    !M!

     

    Should be same as the car, 1975. From the books I have 3.54 was the only gear ratio offered that year.

    Steps to becoming a GOOD Democrat

    Forwarded to me, even some of my democrat friends even laughed:

     

    Steps to becoming a GOOD Democrat

     

    Virtually anyone can be a Democrat. Just simply quit thinking (about it) and vote that way. If you want to be a GOOD Democrat, however, there are some prerequisites you must have first. Compare them below and see how you rate...

     

    1. You have to believe the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of Federal funding.

     

    2. You have to believe that the same school system that can't teach 4th graders how to read is somehow the best qualified to teach those same kids all about sex.

     

    3. You have to believe that guns, in the hands of law abiding Americans, are more of a threat than US nuclear weapons technology, in the hands of Chinese communists.

     

    4. You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.

     

    5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical, documented changes in the earth's climate, and more affected

    by Americans driving SUVs'!

     

    6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural.

     

    7. You have to be against capital punishment but support abortion on demand.

     

    8. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.

     

    9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists from Seattle do.

     

    10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.

     

    11. You have to believe that the US military starts wars--not evil tyrannical regimes.

     

    12. You have to believe the NRA is bad, because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good, because it supports

    certain parts of the constitution.

     

    13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

     

    14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, General Robert E. Lee or Thomas Edison.

     

    15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.

     

    16. You have to believe Hillary Clinton is all about "progress" and not power. She just wants to help us out of the archaic system of

    governing that we've been subjected to since our founding.

     

    17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried, is because the right people haven't been in charge.

     

    18. You have to believe Republicans telling the truth belong in jail, but a cheat, liar and sex offender belongs in the White House and you

    would vote him back in there in a New York minute (if you could).

     

    19. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag and transvestites should be constitutionally protected and manger scenes

    at Christmas should be illegal.

     

    20. You have to believe that illegal Democrat Party funding by the Chinese is somehow in the best interest of the United States.

     

    21. You have to believe that the vociferous minorities who protest against prayer and saluting the flag in school, the 10 commandments in court, have far more rights than the majority who believe in God and country and want these values to be instilled in our young children.

     

    If you are locked in solidly to most of these beliefs - you're gonna be a big asset to John Kerry.

    Is Anyone Running 'Power Brute' for the R-200?

    Hello, have seen the 'Power Brute' on http://www.precisiongear.com/powerbrute.htm# . Has anyone run these yet? Looks very promising for me.

     

    The only thing that bothers me is that I thought I read that my R200 has 10mm ring gear bolts. The 'Power Brute' lists for 12mm R200. Has anyone come up with a type of sleeve that will allow the use of the 'Power Brute'? Would I need anyother special parts to do this conversion? I plan on keeping the stock U-joint axles until I start breaking the Spicer U-joints.

     

    I also heard somewhere years ago that TracTech was planning on building and producing a Detroit Locker for the Nissan R-200. Did they ever build it?

     

    I am building a drag car from my 280z and would prefer to stay with the IRS, at least as long as I am running in the 10" tire DOT radial class.

     

     

    Any help is welcomed and thanked in advance.

    Big Block woohooo!!

    I wonder if the JTR or MSA mounts could be used to physically mount a BBC since the mount location is the same between SBC and BBC. Plus the length difference between a SBC and a BBC is in front of the mounting points, the length from the engine mounts back, is the same.

     

    Might be worth a shot to buy them and find out.

     

    Of course headers and other things would still be an issue.

    Michael...

    I have spoken with two people that have a competition engineering cages that were designed just for the first gen Z. In both accounts the cage fit great and it came with gussets to give the cage strenght.

    As for Competition Engineering' date=' I had asked

    them before if they had anything I could use for the Z and they simply said "no". Hmph!

     

    Darth, how much was your Competition Engineering cage? Any part numbers?

    I called Competition Engineering's Tech dept and they said they don't make them for the Z either. I called (203) 458-0542 Tech number.

     

    If someone has a part number for the kit, it would help when I call them again.

     

    Thanks guys!!

    Has anyone "back halfed" a z?

    Hi John

    This is Jack I sent you some pictures of my 74 260z that i was in the process of tubbing.

    The fourlink w/coil over set came from Chassis Works' date=' also it has a 12point cage.

    A ladder bar are just too long for this car wheel base, the ladder bar end up under your seat. I used 1 5/8 mild steel tubing, this allow me to be able to install a 14x32 slick or 19x32 street tire. I also used a track locator because a panhard bar is a tight fit. I will also send you pictures of my 78z it had a four link and a ford 9in w/ 19x31.5 mickey thompson sportman pro. My biggest problem with these car are legg room, I,m 6'5. I'm getting ready to sell one of these cars. Give a me few days and I will send you very detail pictures of both car.[/quote']

     

    Digging up a way old post, but do you still have those pictures? If so, I would be highly interested in seeing them.

     

    I am going to email you directly as well.

     

    Thanks!!!

    straight axle for my drag 240?

    ......I also made some frame connectors out of 1 1/2 x 3" tubing to connect the front frame at the firewall to the same stock rear

    frame the new frame rails are welded too. These will be used for the

    front mounting point of the S/S bars.

     

     

    I look over your site (loved the 409 Impala). I was curious if you had any pics of the section quoted above?

     

    Sounds like a great way to mount the S/S bars' date=' but a picture would be great to see the 1 1/2" x 3" tubing running under the car.

     

    If you want to email me the pictures: [email']Project_BBZ@ComCast.net[/email]

     

    Thanks in advance for the help!!
