PETEW Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Hey guys, I just ordered coilovers and cv adapters from Ross the other day and I just wanted to make sure no one had any clearance problems with the adapter. I don't think it should be a problem with my Arizona Z rear disk conversion, but I am wondering if my larger MSA rear swaybar will get in the way. I have the 7/8 rear swaybar for my '77 280Z. Did any one have any issues with clearance and what did you do? I tried a search but came up with nothing. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 I have Ross's CV adaptors with Ground control Coilovers, Sectioned struts, 7/8" Suspension Techniques rear bar and AZCar Wilwood rear brakes. The CV boots were running dangerously close to the sway bar links IMO so I shortened the links with smaller spacers to get them a safe distance away from the CVs. This setup has worked well.

PETEW Posted July 31, 2003 Author Share Posted July 31, 2003 Thanks Speeder. Glad to hear that it worked well. I can't wait to get all this stuff together. I really want to get this car moving, but want it to turn and stop just as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgkurz Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Hey Speeder, What's the deal with sectioning your struts. Is this something I might want to consider? I just bought new Tokico's. Is it too late for me? Thanks. P.S. How's the 3.0 liter coming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I bought the complete setup from Ground Control - It included shorter ( I think by about 2.5") Tokico Illuminas along with instructions for shortening the struts. Probably too late for your stock length shocks. 3.0 news: Proceding slowly. Venolia Pistons have been received and coated by Swain, O-ringed Block is in the Machine shop to be Torque -plate bored to 87.5 mm. Rotating assy also in shop to be balanced. I have all the rings and bearings in hand. I'm starting work on the P90 head now - I'll probably swap my 290/280 Isky cam into the new head. My 3.0 will be very similar to yours. Can't wait.

jgkurz Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Speeder, Were you able to use rods longer than 133mm? Personally I wish I could have put in some longer rods and maybe designed more static compression then my 7.6:1. Sounds like you'll be running by the end of the summer. I'm on the same schedule with my upgrades. I'll cross my fingers for you. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
