Rustyfriend Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 i am also getting tired of fixing my car...but i know it will be worth it. it ran fine when i swapped motors and now it doesn't.....then i had an electrical failure and it ended up being a fusible link...then i had to run a new wire for the starter....and yesterday i go to drive it to my z mechanic and it never made it but on a good note i went to an autocross and it was awesome! i was shotgun in a '76 280z with tons of suspension and engine work and wow....what a ride. handled like it was on rails and i nearly shat myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZROSSA Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Toni L. Nice work. I found out when putting the roll cage in my 2+2 that If the door bar was to high then I couldnt use the stock handels. Have you checked this? I wanted to be able to pull the handel from over the top off the bar. You might be able to get at it through them.

My doors are fully stripped right now and i only tested that those fit to body. Thanks for information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyfriend Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 has anyone put a small roll bar in the back for a racing harness and could still use the rear seats? i have a roll bar that goes in the back seats but no bar for the harness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 I was wanting the same thing but no one really knew the answer. Tonyd has a jdm 2+2 bolt in cage the supposedly has a removable harness bar. Still waiting for some pictures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustyfriend Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 well if you plan on moving on to another z....don't scrap it. take the good parts and save them for when you need them, part out the rest, and then take all of the left over and bring it to the scrapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEvilrps13 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 yeah i will. there isnt much to take though two weeks is the deadline. two weeks from Tuesday the 27th, if i cannot get it at least drivable, then its over. EDIT. i have the toyota brake swap for my car that i dont need, if anyone wants it, its the complete swap calipers, rotors, hell i think it has the backing plates too. its 100% complete, i bought it off of a member on here not too long ago, and never took the stuff out of the box, its just collecting dust.

RedEvilrps13 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 ive never taken anything out of the box i got, but i know its the complete swap, calipers, brackets, rotors, and i believe the pads as well. let me check the old for sale thread i got them from. :EDIT: here's what it comes with.... Toyota 4 Piston brake kit, includes non-vented front rotors, 240z hubs, S12+8 calipers, Earls stainless steel brake lines for front and rear. This is used but everything is in good condition, pads and rotors look like they have good life left in them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZROSSA Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Finally some photos for you guys. http://album.hybridz.org/member.php?uid=8086&protype=1 Have done flares and roll cage, lots of rust fixing and sanding. Trying to find someone to help finish the body work and paint now. I hate to farm it out but I just dont have the time as our business is expanding at a rapid rate and I am still a one man band. Seem to spend all day working and all night in meetings. Hopefully will have more progress soon. Cheers, Douglas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEvilrps13 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 i finally got rid of all the riveted metal blocking the seat bolt holes (the previous owner riveted the seats down) and bolted in another crappy drivers seat. And then I finally drove it.....good god it was amazing! This car rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Zowner Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 thinking about selling my other 1975 2+2, it has the newer version of MSA bodykit, car came from California, has a new interior as far as seats, full dash cap, and carpet. Its on 17" wheels with Nitto tires, no mods to the engine and a 5spd...the body isn't in bad shape just bad bodywerk...looks good from about 10 feet...haven't found any holes whatsoever just filler where some dents are...I'll email pics if anyone is interested...
