OmakZ Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Hey all, TL;DR: This is the PNW Z community thread. I'm starting this thread because I believe in a large forum setting like this it's nice to have a thread specifically for local enthusiasts to get to know each other: a community building thread. This is a place to chat about life, technical frustrations, garage and junk yard days, mini-meets, quick tech questions and emergency/loaner part requests. If it doesn't warrant it's own thread, it can go here. Mods, if this is the wrong place for this or it's out of line, do what you must. In my experience, these threads are great ways to strengthen local clubs and community. -OmakZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmakZ Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Also, cross posting from another thread, I'm starting a contact list of the local Z people. If you want the list shoot me a PM with your name, the year of your Z(s), email, and a phone number you can be reached at (specify talk/text). You don't get a copy unless you're on the list.

Jasonmreiss Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Why so cheap on those coilovers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmakZ Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 Yeah, I've got your number. I have no idea why the coils are so cheap. A similar kit from GC would cost $300. Maybe they're just a knock-off of the GC kit. I could understand the price then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil_S30 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 My car is full of knock offs, it's perfect! Would it be possible to run two collars on the coils instead of one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmakZ Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 For why? I'm not sure I understand what you're asking... If you mean to lock the collar in place, yes. My guess is that the collar is split and that there is a screw that tightens it on the sleeve though (like my GCs). If that's the case, you wouldn't need to run double collars. I'm getting RCAs on Sunday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil_S30 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Double locking collars because racecar haha. Screw you're building my coilovers, I just need to sell my s13 coils to fund it. Why do you live so far away from me? I'm missing all the nice things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonmreiss Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 300 sounds cheap too, maybe the shocks are the expensive parts. My next step is suspension and I was figuring about a thousand for gc without camber plates. By the way I'm crashing this thread!

OmakZ Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 By the way I'm crashing this thread! Southern Oregon, lol The more the merrier. Yeah, the most expensive part of the GCs winds up being the dampers. I Have a pair of BZ3099s NIB for sale if anyone is interested. Pm'ed: Joel from Everett, 72 240z with Jtr swap being finished up. Cool, I'll go ahead and add you but I probably won't resend the list until next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmakZ Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Roll-center adjusters (RCAs) acquired. Time to fix that naaaasty bump-steer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmakZ Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Wow, RCAs were the best $70 upgrade I've thrown at this car. They were light enough that I could lift them but had enough mass that I could throw them pretty hard. But really... now my car doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart every time I hit a bump.
