maichor Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 I put some more pics in my album. Some of you guys have been following this. It is now all done. 335/35/17 and 275/40/17 tires on Cobra R wheels, no spacers needed. Five lug setup with big Toyota Brakes up front and 11" J30 brakes in rear. Small drum mechanical e-brake Adjustable rear toe and camber with cool 240SX multilink Stock 240SX springs, pics show ride height without fuel tank or driver It has been a long road. Thanks for all the encouragement! Celebrate with me! http://www.hybridz.org/phpBB2/album_personal.php?user_id=2109 photos.yahoo.com/maichor75104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 So Michael, when are you going to have it rolling where you can take me for a ride?!? Turn about is fair play, you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nic-Rebel450CA Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 I came in late in your project, but I have been waiting to see that pic! Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Simply unbelievable! Nice work! I can't wait to see the road test results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Nice work. Are you going to be able to sit down and document what you did to make this swap work and the reasoning behind each of the modifications to the Z unibody? This could be an excellent future reference.

maichor Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 Thanks, everbody. I do plan on doing a writeup. A lot of thinking and measuring and thinking and measuring and . . . went into this swap. The writeup has been on hold for a while because I have been busy and the small amount of time I have had for the car has been used to prep the body. When will it be driving? My goal is to have it done by Xmas! By done I mean running/driving. Interior will be rough but that can wait. Oh, and Phantom, not to worry, as soon as it is driveable I will be wanting excuses to give rides etc. I want to get the feel of it an go with you guys down to Ennis and see what it will do. Will they let me run without a top? I will add roll hoops eventually, but it will probably remain a roadster. It is so close I can almost taste it!

87Kevin Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 That's awesome - seems this is getting more popular. I just did a similar swap on my 87. Are you still using the 240sx knuckles or did you switch to the z32 stuff? http://www.300zxforums.com/showthread.php?t=55042 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
