daddydonuts Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'm going to start a thread on my 73 240Z. I found this car in South Carolina, I am the third owner. The guy I bought it from had it sitting in his shop With the carburetors off for a year. It hardly has any rust, just the battery tray is bad. To date, I have changed the 240 original engine out with an 81 280 ZX engine. The original engine had a stuck valve, and bent the first time I started it up. Eventually I will get a built engine to put into this car, right now I am just making it road worthy. This is a great car for me because I wanted to make this my own creation... one day it will be a badass Z! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddydonuts Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Day 1 of my rear disc conversion, bought these calipers on HZ and got them clean and painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddydonuts Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Got my maxima flat brackets in the mail today, taking them to the machine shop tomorrow and getting them cut to fit my hub. Once that is done, I will do more measurements to make sure the calipers are centered on the rotor before milling down the mounting surfaces for the offset. Pics will follow.

JSM Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 So how much was the machining on those? I also thought that the ears needed to be machined? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddydonuts Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) So how much was the machining on those? I also thought that the ears needed to be machined? I still have to mock it up and measure the offset. My machinist is charging me $40 Edited September 29, 2012 by daddydonuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddydonuts Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Well I decided to start rebuilding and cleaning my Triple Mikuni's, and I should have my rear disc conversion completed this week as long as my homework does not get in the way. First, I have to take the the intake and get one of the throttle linkage mounts welded, it broke during shipping (but I got a GOOD refund back from Fedex), and then I will be looking to get that powder coated. I just wanted to post a pic of my carbs before I started working on them. I bought the full rebuild kits from Wolf creek racing (Dang, and I thought SU parts were expensive), Todd is a pretty good man, I sent him pics of these carbs and he sent me what I needed to make them like new, no hassles. I will post more pics of completed projects... Edited October 15, 2012 by daddydonuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddydonuts Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Just wanted to add some pics of my intake for my Triple Mikuni's. I found someone locally that does powder coating at very reasonable prices, Jesse 706-905-4000, he is located in Waverly Hall, GA (next to Fort Benning)...so if you are close to this area give him some business. I should have my intake completed today and I am using Hot candy blue (powder by the pound color), and I will post some pics of the completed intake later. After sand blasting Primered, ready for some color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
