73Fairlady's 240z Build *heavy pics*


Recommended Posts

Hi i have been lurking around on Hybridz for years and years for info but just recently joined. I have been around cars forever but just recently started a z project finally! I love these cars and have wanted one for years. I figured a good way to get myself out there was to start a build thread. I have had this car for a little over a year now, previously my dad owned it since 2006 but its been sitting for a few years. I started working on it last winter so i will try and catch up to where I am now.

 

 

This is as of 2006 when my dad got the car.

Whomever originally did the car did some questionable things that will have to be fixed, the fenders looked like hell...

I had a issue with the wheels clearing the T3 LCA and outer tie rods. I talked to someone who said they removed the RCA and it cleared, I did not want to have to do that so i opted to order the NCRCA from T3 and hopefully i can pull out enough camber with the camber plates. Possibly bigger wheels are needed in the future.

Man, this car is looking so sharp! Is that diff a R180 and do that make that LSD for the R200 in the 280Z's?

yes it is a R180, but its a "K stamp" so its out of the early S12 not a z. it has a 115mm ring gear where the R180 out of the z is a 110mm. i have only seen the OS giken in the 115mm R180, but i know that quaife makes one for the R200.

 

Edit: they do make the OS giken for the R200

Love this build!, and it's coming along at a good pace. Where did you get the vented inspection doors from? I had MSA do mine many years ago, but they only had 4 vents added to them.

I found them on eBay, there is a guy on there that does it and sells them. User name arizonas30 and there well priced and no core is required. But he will buy your old ones too.
