1 tuff z Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 i just received the following; modified adj. front control arms and t/c rods from mike kelly at zf racing [i got the last set mike made] and my big brake kit from ross corrigan at modern-motorsports! all i can say is WOW! just got the front suspension pieces back from powder coating and they look great. i'm looking forward to getting an alignment and being able to adj. camber and caster [in add to toe] on the front end-while on the car. still working on the rear control arms-ross said he has some in the works-hurry ross-summer's coming soon! from ross i ordered; big brake kit and the turbo cv adaptors. the machine work on the rotors, hats and rear caliper adaptors are very nice indeed. the front calipers are 13" directionally vented clamped by a floating 2 piston pbr alum caliper. the "hat" which allows the rotor to attach to the stock hub was anodized in red for me and it looks sweet! i figured that while i had everything torn down i should also upgrade the rear axles to the turbo cv's so i also purchased the adaptors from ross. the machine work and welds are beautiful-as well as functional. i was very impressed when i inventoried the box i received. i showed all the parts to a good friend who runs a local speed shop and he agreed that everything is top notch. for the rear i'll be using the 200sx calipers along with ross' adaptors as well as his ebrake piece. i couldn't figure out how to post the pics i had taken, so if you use this link you can see what i have so far. http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=1750&thumb=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 David - Sounds great. Ross's 13" brake set up is ultra sweet, I know that some time this springsummer it will find its way onto my car. In the mean time good luck with the install and also don't forget to snap lots of pics. So your car will handle and stop pretty amazing. Speaking of pics here is one I dug up....I am sure you remember the place and year? Enjoy! Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slownrusty Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 Hi David - Close....I took this picture back in 1997 - can't believe its been almost 6years. Yes and its at ZCar show held by the ZCar club at Nissan's HQ in Mississauga (just outside TO). We spoke quite a bit back then and we talked about the power of the SC in your car and I remember being very in amour with your car (its been my wallpaper on my home PC for about 8months now!). Yes I do have the blue SR Nissan 720 truck - thanks for the compliments. I still have it and still runs extremely well, I would like to sell it this year, as it hardly get driven. I just sold my MR2 powered RWD Corolla last week and I have an '82ZXT (project car) and my daily driver is an Altima. Since I moved to Colorado 3years ago I certainly miss attending the ZCar shows in Toronto. the last one I went to was in 2000, do you still attend. Here is my website : http://www.picturetrail.com/slownrusty And no problems I will email that pic to your work address, I also have a pic of the engine compartment that I took back then when you had the Jacobs ignition - would you like me to email a copy of that as well? Nice catching up with you - Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
