  1. Im not talking about like front end as in body panles im talking front frame, it should be to bad, i have an s13 front frame in my buddys driveway thats mine, and a rear sub
  2. Yea im looking at doing it with a ZX or a S13, ill post pics asap
  3. AWESOME MAN!! Thanks, im working on getting everything together, I need to find somone who I can make sure it will be all aligned right
  4. Anyone, I really do need help knowing if this will even work.. please
  5. any other words like stock zx dimention charts
  6. I dont mind "to" race, but the s13 rear subframe would just put me in the same class as all the s13s, that wouldent put me out of it, id be fine. I think if i did the S130 front id cut from the wheel wells end forward and tube that, (which is legal in FD) and then make custom mountings for the headlights and stuff
  7. See thats what I was thihnking, but after looking into tube framing, it seems kinda advanced, and kinda tuff... anyone else have experiance with tube framing, if its easier than welding a new front clip on, il do it.. the only downside with a tube chassie is that I cant compeat ing events like Formula D, or D1 if i ever wanted to, because its to much of a race car in their eyes.
  8. This is my first real post about my Z besides the idle issue. Here is the situation, I was driving my Z, front wheels locked, railed a curb head on and bending the front frame, everything from the firewall back is ok, so basicly I need to weld on a new front clip, and I do have the sources to have this fixed.. now here is where it gets odd... I am consitering putting a 280zx front clip on my 280Z 77, maily because I already have a S13 rear subframe ready to put in the rear, and I can mod S13 front suspention on a ZX front suspention (after looking at diagrams ect ect). So I can technicaly have a Z with fully S13 suspention setup (ofcourse with less aggressive springrates compare to the 560fl/lb springs they ususaly run on aftermarket S13 coilovers. Also id be able to rock a powersteering rack, and possably mod a S13 rack into working alot better. Now the issue is will this even work... are the dimentions at ALL the same, of course I woudlent run ZX body pannles.. is this even possable. The main poss. points seems to be -I loved the way my S13 felt, and id love to work that into my Z -The Truly HATE manual steering, even with all poly bushings.. I hate it, so PS would be nice -All attemps to make the Z more modern and have aftermarket parts cheaper (aka S13) is very cool, I mean I can get a BRAND NEW set of GOOD S13 coilovers for 1100 fully adjustable hight/preload/damper ect ect. -If I need to put another front clip on their, why not make it better then before.. Thoughts, Difficultys..Flames....
  9. Yea, ended up doing the same thing to my Z yesterday, at a curb at about 45, dead on, bent my motor mounts, all my suspention arms, almost everything, luckly no real body damage and no frame. Now back on topic, I drifted a s13 hatch for 4 years, and im not bad at it, compeated in events and everything, get an rx7, blew that up, then got the Z, and its not an easy car to slide... I dont mean its hard to break loose, its just hard to have a controlled slide in that car, not an easy task. To bad the first car you totaled was a Z, and not an s13, Ive yet to total out a car drifting, but im sure ill do it one day... Whats the best bet for helping a Z drift a little better (I have 200lb springs on all 4 corners, everything bushing replaced, welded diff, Personal Steering wheels, aftermarket coupeler bushing, ect ect, its just HARD to drift compare to the S13)..
  10. We know for a fact that the alternator is working, we know the voltage regulator is good ( its brand new ) When reinstalling both of these things their were some weird thing that looks like a capacitor (never seen somthing like this before) I cant figure out where to bolt this, or wonder if it was ever even plugged in. When we try to run the car it hardly holds a charged, it runs but idles at 500rpms. Ive been told possabily its a ground issues, I know the battery is newer, and when the ignition key is off, when tested on the voltmeter it says its at 12volts, but when its running it was down to 10volts. It seems like the alternator wasent working, but it was testing and it is still good. Does anyone have anything that could help me. Im extreamly frusterated and I need to have my car ready.. Thanks you Matt
  11. See the ones that arent ends, those are spacers. http://www.ziptied.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2065&highlight=tie+rod+spacers Check it "This spacer goes where the tie rod threads into the rack. Any additional toe can be adjusted out by the endlinks.(where the tie rod threads into the endlink). "
  12. I was thinking eather Miata or Impreza or this mustang one sounds interesting, FCs dont have hte greatest turning radias
  13. Yea thats what I have on the S13, are you into drifting? You should check out Ziptied.com/forum I remember seening those spacers on their, ill try to find them for you
