Any updates? Pix?

Looks like a simple fix, on the fence as to whether I need a shortened throw like the MGW. Does that still work ok with the shifter boot?

Any pics? I have the stock T56 shifter and feel like I'm almost hitting the dash going into 3rd gear. Does it stand straight up or angled towards the rear?

I called them, they want $1495 for the tank, pump, sender, straps, vents, fittings, etc. Looks beautiful and when you considered that price is for everything, really not too bad for a nice custom job. They're very friendly too

Any more pix of this piece?

Good idea, I was just going to remove that piece! That sounds like what mine looks like. There is some kind of rubber-like material sandwiched between the two tubes, may be able to see in this pic.

Thanks for the pics. I haven't run the new fuel lines yet and I may add a DS loop sometime in the future so I don't want to go too big.

Spoke with John and am sending back the two-piece DS for a one-piece, no problem. I like dealing with vendors like that, wish more were like JCI. After checking, the 3.5" end would have greatly reduced any room for an exhaust and was concerned about strength if I put 400-450HP through it. Likely not going to be any more than that, so 2.5" should be ok from what I gather, especially if you are running that in your beast, Keith.

Wow, there seem to be a number of variations on this product and I am starting to question what I got now. My JCI driveshaft is 3.5" on one end and 2.75" at the other. Haven't installed it yet so I don't know how it will perform but I also haven't seen anything like this one as it is two tubes, one inside the other. Did I get someone's leftovers?

I really like the white with gold rim combo, here's mine. I may get some wide gold stripes down the centre when I get it repainted white #904.

Not sure but there is room for my hand to slide between the tunnel and the seat, albeit barely near the front of the seat.

Got them from http://www.racingseatscheap.com/ for $986 w/brackets and free shipping. They are almost the same price anywhere and get drop shipped from Corbeau directly so the vendor really just processes the order. I ordered them on Tuesday, shipped on Wednesday and they arrived on Friday, was a real quick and easy experience. They look great in leather too from the pictures I have seen. What's wrong with yours? They look great!

Just installed Corbeau LG1s in my '72 using the stock mounting points. Look and fit great, install details here: http://forums.hybrid...nstallationfit/

I know people have installed these before but I thought I would show some pictures of the fit of the Corbeau LG1 seats in my '72 240z. Corbeau bracket #C22011, mounts easily, no modification necessary. I used 35mm M10 bolts, Class 10.9 which fit the Datsun holes perfectly. Bracket mounted. I needed to disassemble the bracket a bit to get the bolts in. Seats installed. I used two small washers to lift the back of the seat up about 4mm. I was worried about the seat width but they do not touch the door at all, there is a good gap. They aren't too tall, similar to stock. The colour appears blue in the photos, but it is black cloth. Material is good, better than I thought it would be. Of course, they are a huge improvement over stock and provide a lot of support. I chose these over the Corbeau TRS or CR1 models as they have lower seat bolsters making them very easy to get in and out of. They are also fairly light, I didn't weigh them but felt close to the stock weight. A number of people have modified the seat mounts to lower the seats in the car but I didn't feel that was necessary for me, I have about 1-2 inches of headroom. I am 6' tall but have longer legs so maybe that is the reason. I haven't put many miles on these yet so we will see.

I get people talking to me all the time about the car, especially when I am getting gas. Everyone seems to have a story about the Z that they or their father/brother/cousin/etc. used to own. Haven't gotten as much attention with any other car I have owned. People like Z's!

Not sure what you are intending to use the car for but on the street, you better have buns of steel with that kit. I have 225f/250r lbs/in (Ground control with Tokiko Illuminas) and it is very stiff already. Good for occasional track use however. I have no experience with the Cosmo brand but am quite happy with the Ground Control kit, many others here use it too.

That's a great colour! Car is going to look awesome!

Thanks Xnke, but it looks like I have one one the way.

I am using Johnc's side axles for this project but I'm looking for the input flange that connects the driveshaft to the diff.

AND...another problem. This whole time I was thinking that the input flange would just swap over from the R200 to the Subaru R180 but that's not the case. The splined part is too large on the R200 so I need an R180 input flange to match this. Anyone have one? Also posted in parts wanted. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/108364-r180-input-flange/

Doing a Subaru R180 swap for my open R200 and have realized the input flange doesn't just fit on to the R180 like I was expecting it to. The splined part was too large (approx. 27.85mm vs 24.73mm). I need an input flange from an R180 that matches the bolt pattern in this picture, shipped to 98281 or Vancouver, BC. Thanks!

Problem solved! Filled holes and drilled out the right size, fits perfectly snug now. And got some $1.50 grade 10.9 bolts to replace the studs ($12 each at local Subaru stealership). So now hopefully everything will line up when I reinstall all this stuff.

Great, thanks guys. If it is indeed an R180 bar then the Subie diff should go in easily. I will give it a shot and just hope everything lines up and the driveshaft is long enough. Now, just gotta find some rear diff bolts-any downside to just buying good 1-inch grade 7/8 hex bolts instead of the original all-thread bolts with nuts?
