rc's240z Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Now, if you go out a little on each side (to the inside of the 2 outer vents in the cowl panel) there are support brackets running from the firewall back under the windsheid area. (take your cowl panel off and you will see what I`m tring to explain). Which is esentially what we did, our brace picks up four locations on the firewall where there are vertical braces behind the firewall. We worked with Karl Azevedo <sp> (of NPTI & fame) for our design, as well as Marc Sayer. Again, both designs work. For a weld-in application where the hood latch does not need to be present Johnc's solution is a good one. For minimal modification to your early Z our solution works very well.

rc's240z Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 on3go, Yes I believe that we have installed our solution on a S30 Chassis with L28ET. Since you are running a turbo there might be some consideration taken to where you run your tubing for an intercooler for the down tubes to the swaybar mounts. Since we are a small shop and we hand build each unit we can verify with you some of the clearance issues prior to your install or make some modifications should you run into trouble. I would suggest contacting Mark at PDK for more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 could i ask where i should make my measurements? my piping is pretty big, 2.5in and the turbo is fairly large for what it is. im not 100% sure where the bar goes so thats why i say those things. if i need to have the part custom done up a tad, would the price still be at 250 bucks? mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rc's240z Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Mike, the price could go up. That would depend on what modifications need to be done. You should contact Mark at PDK directly for these matters as they can speak to your specific application. I would suggest that you look at my gallery that has several install photos with some measurements and forward some photos of your engine compartment to look for potential trouble spots. link to my gallery: http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showgallery.php?ppuser=932&cat=500 The photos are kind of scattered, but not hard to find. yYou can see two installs on a blue Z (with triple Mikunis and camber plates) and a White Z with no motor. Let me know if I can help you further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
