Very Cool Max!

Ok i'm dreaming... Install the engine using a typical swap, but then intergrate that gearbox to the Z halfshafts and suspension.

NICE! I dont think power will be a problem hehe

If you love the car... it's worth it. If you don't, 3 grand for a decent body plus all the extra parts that go with it is a Better Deal. You would save man hours. Be on the road much sooner. Have more parts to choose from. Sell the remainig pieces on ebay recovering some costs. To me it looks really rusted inside the rockers, places that will pop rust again you can't repair without spending even more money... and the sunroof with roof skin replacement.... Tons of work. If you plan to spend 2000 it will be more than that in the end. I don't mean to come off negative here, just being real. It all depends what you want to do? Full resto or patch n paint? If your going to a 350 swap and all the extra time and money, find a better Z. You'll be glad you did. Brian

I agree. 17x7 4.5bs 225/45/17 coilovers uncut struts. At full compression to bumpstops a half inch clearance to unrolled fender lips. Maybe some available room for 8's in the rear with coilovers and slightly adjusted offest?? Close to call with slight tire differences. It's good to leave a bit of room for suspension adjustments...

So what then is the creative conversion solution for Xenon projector headlights in an S30?

Jon you are correct for keeping things in perspective. I am sorry Dragonfly if I was harsh critiquing your work. Didn't really mean it as to shread you. Just having you strive for the best.

Nice wheels! Major improvement!

All that force on the surface of once set screw. Good luck with that. Ok Maybe I am not seeing something here..

Nice car and nice parts but.. On the car adjustable? I don't see in the pics how that works. The set screw does what? I don't understand. The MM parts seem to be a much more user friendly and proven design... http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=68&PHPSESSID=731d37290be0ec1ffa33fb22311e4d7c

Battle Scars from Cars....

What an idiot! It's not totaled, somebody will fix it.

That is really nice! I love the floor and tight cage n tubs.

Minnesota.

What about the toy, I think it was call "Rock em Sock em"? Not sure. It was a boxing ring with two robot looking fighters. A two player game you would try to punch off your opponents head. It's ironic the same robot is used in that lastest dodge truck commercial. The one where the robot busts through the wall and punches the grill of the truck untill his head pops up. Brian

The 80's. Our last decade of innocence. No cell phones. No PC bs. No cameras everywhere....and no internet!

I do product design for a living 16 years now and on about 32 US patents. Been there on both sides of the fence. Been ripped off and directly copied by the overseas copy cats. Been false accused and had to defend my art at major wasted costs. Not easy being an artist. In this short time I have seen alot. Here are a few things I have learned, I am not a lawyer haha. The average US patent is good for about 12 years then it's common public domain. If you have an idea you have faith in, Protect it. The last thing anyone ever wants to do is go to a jury trial as you never know what will happen. Products have a life. They live and die... just as we do. If someone says they have a great "million dollar" idea keep in mind it's nothing more than a fantacy, untill it's brought to life. Your fantacy could be patented, but easily disallowed in court. Most of them lack the blood sweat and tears of specfic function and detailed use. If your serious about an idea, get a smart patent attorney. It makes all the difference! Don't show your idea protypes to others, keep your mouth shut. Patents could be dissallowed if proof is shown ideas were presented to the public before the patent is applied for. A smart attorney is as only powerful as the information he or she is provided with by you The Designer. You can still be ripped off even if you have a patent if you can't afford to defend it. Don't rely on the free attorney if I win deal, few will ever take your case on contingency unless you have Very solid case. Few ever are. A lawyer judge or jury will never fully understand your true design intent. Never trust your lawyer, they are all snakes in the grass. Nobody is safe. Ethics. Very true how they are being lost on a daily basis.

Wow cool vid funny. Cali drivers are dumb lol. In my state Minnesota it's that bad too. Hate describes it best. Here people just give you the middle finger if you don't drive "perfect?". Lots of road rage and it's growing for sure compared to when I was a kid. The horn is another new thing discovered in the last five years, and now used for everything. Nobody helps stranded motorists unless youre a hot young chick someone might get to take advantage of. The rest are left to die on the freeway, that's the additude. No bull.

That motor sounds awesome! "catch on fire" she said. Classic. Your backfire I dont know, but I like the video! Brian

The point of no return. I'd section mine but im too scared chicken. lol

John, Did find or get your hardware kit? Brian

Ali, My u joint diameters are the same as yours . Small in back and big in front. The car doesnt vibrate anymore. Though very interesting what Pop n Wood mentioned about it. It may fine tune the driveline better but not needed really. Safety is always an issue. You have great V8 power on that little short driveline. IF your driveline angles are out of specification to a large degree, I feel it can be unsafe. All that energy in that driveshaft shaking the car, driveline, mountings etc. Over time it will break something. When you get the angles set up right it will make a huge difference in the way the car drives. Your car looks so cool it's worth the effort. Sorry about the language barrier as my english too is not perfect. Hope you get all figured out. Brian

I think it looks killer! The nashing of teeth ready to eat roadkill. Great idea and creative solution. EDIT: Paint rocks! I hope your not running street cause you would kick my cars ass! lol Nice ride doc.

Thank you everyone for your help. Hybridz is the best forum on the internet! I found these through summit racing. Brian http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=ENS%2D7%2D6104R&N=700+400008+4294907666+4294902027+115&autoview=sku
