mull Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 incredible work man... your just not gonna' miss anything are you? I hope not... : ) So any updates Mull? Not really, no. Waiting for the go-ahead to pick up a 240z and drive/trailer it to my carbon-guy for some well needed parts. Hopefully it will happen during this upcoming week. Everything's moving painfully slow, I know. I know :-r Not much real updates other than that I've ordered some CF wide ZG-flares for the back. Front will recieve similar once production starts. And I've been doing some grinding/polishing of the RB26 intake. Slow boat to China... : ) Engine/speedshop has been really busy lately, so no updates on that either. Sorry everyone : ( I'd like to know what rims these are! They look sweet! They're OZ F1 rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHERGROUND Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I think the rim is kick ass looking! A very meaty 5 spoke rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ernestozx Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hello friend I want felicitarte by the excellent job that they doing in the 240z, I have a 280zx 83 and I'm in paint. I had some oxides that with the help of your video I had some ideas and you remove the rotted. These videos excite much as one who want to disarm and leave the car as the Tuileries. But asked whether the terms and already know how I am. Greetings from the El salvador centro america. PDT. Do not speak English, as translated by google so I apologize if you do not understand something:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mull Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Time to beat this dead horse with the update-stick! Some of you may have seen my "what front suspension should I...blablabla" in different part of the forum. For some, this will be (partly) a re-run from a post made yesterday. I don't think there will be a double wishbone setup due to regulations. A double wishbone installation would probably push it over the edge from "modified" to a less appealing "amateur built vehicle". This would mean I'd lose the 1971 "vintage" and end up with a 2009 or what year it is when the car is ready for The Swedish Motor Vehicle Inspection Co. A 2009 title would mean checkups every year instead of every other and more regulations on emissions/etc. So, I finally got off my ass and went to Huddinge Kustoms and borrowed their Nissan 200sx S14 front suspension. Will add pics tomorrow. Seems like it'll be a good fit though. It's approx 1½-2" wider per side using standard arms. Looks like the wider front ZG-flares will come in handy once they're ready... : ) Well, here are the pics! ...and if you have to ask. No. This. Isn't. Final. Installation.

efrain240sx Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 just a little info, if the s14 front LCA's are to long, you could always use the s13 LCA's they are 1/2 - 1" shorter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vpulsar Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Fantastic thread, I'm just about to watch the video's lol. I've just bought another 260Z after a 25 year break from my first 2+2, I also scrapped one with a lot less rust than yours, And have taken the cowards way out by buying a far better car to start of with. Good luck and I look forward to more updates. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoobee Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Philip, Can you post the missing vids in avi format on your mull~index? I have made some DVDs of your exploits and my boys love to watch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mull Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 Mull, What are the main advantages to the S14 front suspension verse the factory suspension? Justin I'm no chassis expert but; wider track for one... and no need for 5-lug spacers : ) The control arms are (each) about 2.75 inches longer than the stock 240z. I've been told longer is better. I'll try remembering asking someone who knows Philip, Can you post the missing vids in avi format on your mull~index? What missing vids? I've more or less abandoned the avi format in favor of HD-wmv since video #17 or something... : ) Convert the wmv's to DVD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoobee Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Oh yes, since about #17 no more AVIs. Yes, I made DVD's...not for sale :] , using a Mac. iDVD easily recognized the AVI format, but not WMV. I just haven't found a suitable WMV>>>>> converter yet. No worries, just asking. BTW, you are quite an entertaining video editor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
