spotfitz Posted February 28, 2001 Share Posted February 28, 2001 Just thought I would let everyone know how my rear disc conversion/tranny&diff. swap went. After all the time and effort that went into looking for and then getting the brackets made(which was the hardest part of it all) and waiting on parts I finally got everything together last week. I've taken her out on afew runs to see if everything was ok. I then took her out on the highway to see what 5th gear actually felt like. Nice to see such a low rpm doing 70mph. I also got to see what 110 was like too(No traffic at 2a.m.). Man what a thrill. All in all, everything is great. New brake booster, front suspension work, struts and springs all around(here I come SCCA) is what I'll be working on next. After all that, I'll be pulling here apart for painting. I give it 2 months before that though. BTW, during the weekend I managed to hook up with one of the members here and got to see his very clean 280Z that is receiving a nicely done V8. This site and Greg's car has inspired me. Is it possible to have to many projects? I really want to start on a V8 Zcar RIGHT NOW! Anyone in D/FW area want to give me a ride in their HybridZ?

I believe RickB & DavyZ are in the Dallas area.....Hey, they trade rides for Ice Cream Sundays (Just kidding Rick David). Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted February 28, 2001 Share Posted February 28, 2001 Kevin, I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area! Although I like Texas, I live over here! Speaking of seeing other's V8 Z's, I had a chance to meet up with Fairlady 327 and see his car. He's a cool guy who somehow manages to keep up a V8 Z while being a full-time student and working part-time. 3 hours went by very quickly as we watched the riceboys cruise by and rev their coffee can exhausts at us.
