Mikelly Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Guys, word of caution when assembling the inner CV axle components. I stripped one of the inner threads for of the 3/8th bolt that holds the unit together on the stub. I'll have to remove and add a helicoil to the offended hole. It's really easy to mis-align these, as the boot presses on the socket/tool when installing the bolts... "Thought" i had hand started all of them but I missed one, clearly.

wfritts911 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Well after a long overdue hibernation from me, I finally have the ball rolling on 10 more sets of these. Placed an order with a laser shop on Monday. I have made a new thread in the Vendor section to deal with the purchasing side of things and will leave this for the tech side of things. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/121613-s30-ultimate-88-irs-swap-kit/ On another note, how is everything going? Anyone driving on their setups yet? I know Texis300 finally got his car going and has been putting some miles on his. Mike? What about you? I do apologize for the stripped bolt, I might try to chamfer the entry to the hole more on the next ones to help with that. I know the boot definitely makes it difficult to get the bolts in properly. -Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thezguy Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Will is there any chance of making spare parts? I don't think I'm going to go through with a whole kit. I would however like some of the mustang ready spindles and possibly the mustache bar Edited March 13, 2015 by thezguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texis30O Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 270+ miles on mine. No issues. I am just now starting to push it a little. Been over 125 on the fwy (4th gear). I will start stacking up the miles next week...... I think some event or something is happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thezguy Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Speaking of that event. PhantaZ is suppose to show up with his 416ci twin 62mm S30... Should be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I've been here for awhile. Oh, and I got it punched out to 427 after sleeving, and less compression. My build took 2 frustrating years. The current setup should've been for last year, but oh well I'm glad I got to drive it for a little bit last week. But on topic, I'm glad to see this is picking up again...hope I'm not too late!

texis30O Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 There should be plenty of chance to check it out if we all get together once a month with or without the Zs....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ls240z Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 What sort of camber adjustment range will this be capable of? I'm wondering if I should bother with camber plates in the rear if the uprights are able to get enough negative camber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfritts911 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Can't remember off the top of my head, will have too look when I get home today. I think its something like 7 degrees. The only downside to adjusting the camber with my upright is you will push the wheel closer/farther away from the upright. This is generally ok, but can be troublesome if your wheels are pretty close to your coil-overs. trying to add negative camber could push the wheel/tire into the strut. -Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordfan882 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Just put my deposit down! Cant wait to start rounding up parts! Now I just have to decide if I'm going to keep the 302 and go boost or stroker or pull that engine put it in my fox and go with a ls or 2jz. I'm wanting more power now that I know the rest of the drivetrain will handle it! I'll also be doing a youtube series on the install! Can't wait.

bramagedained Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I got my parts from Will today. For anyone that has already been running this, do you think it is worth putting a zerk where the bolt/spindle pin is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BossaNova Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Got my kit last night. Unbelievable. These parts are too nice for my car. Everything arrived in beautiful condition. I have never seen so much bubble wrap in my life. I know it takes a lot of time to do something like this and I hope you are rewarded for all your hard work. Thanks again. -Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here was a box of powdercoated steel that came packaged better than my last order of computer parts from NewEgg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
