RB26powered74zcar Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 What's going on with this? Should I keep my hopes up or just let it go? I wouldn't.... the author of this thread hasn't even been monitoring the interest. As of today, he hasn't been on HybridZ since Aug 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I called Gabriel at Technotoy Tuning (530) 626-7334 - will be placing my order for the complete rear setup tomorrow. He has not been monitoring this thread (claims to be busy) , but seems to be very good to deal with on the phone. I'll report how this goes.

I was one of the first to get excited about the news of this product coming out. I guess I should have called him instead of waiting on a response to the PM I sent him... Please tell him of the interest here Rick, and update us on your results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Guys, I have a question: if I use Z32 rear hubs, axles and so on, will the Z32 rear brakes be bolt on? If yes, then will I be able to mount any big brake kit designed for the Z32? Sorry for being lame, but my knowledge of technical English is very limited...

speeder Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I did discuss this with Technotoy and the answer is yes! A whole world of rear brake upgrades (all that fit Z32 and 240SX) will be available with this setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkgts1 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Question, how hard would it be to find all the parts from a Z32tt? In all my journeys to the local yard I have never even seen a Z32tt. Just curious on avalabilty. speeder, if you don't mind me asking, how much for the setup? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Tyler Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Sorry guys! Business has been BUSY lately with our regular lineup and it's really backburnered all our new and upcoming products. There are a lot of questions here on this thread that I need to take the time to answer, and will try to get to that soon. Other than the R230 rear end setup, we have everything else sorted and sure it will all bolt up perfectly (disc brakes and all). The R230 rear will work as well, but since some people want to notch the back end of the car, and others don't we'll be providing mustache bars custom machined to the customers specs. You tell us what you want on the mustache bar, we'll make it that way (we have the mustache bars all here done, except for the mounting holes for the diff). All parts except the dogbone will be powdercoated gunmetal grey with a clearcoat of powdercoating over the top. If you would like to get parts done a different color, we can do that as well for an additional cost (if we can squeeze it in to another batch of our powdercoating, it wouldn't cost anything, we often do red powdercoating, but anything else would be some extra $$) The axle prices below include us dissassembling your donor CV's and axles and installing them on our new axles. You are welcome to purchase parts individually or completely. Prices: Backing Plates $550 Moustache bar $250 Lower control Drop mounts with dogbone $300 Dogbone on it’s own $70 Front Diff Mount $150 Axles $480 Struts prepped for coilovers $240 Coilovers for rear strut casings $199 Shocks for rear strut casings $240 Weld on rear camber plates $180 Please contact us directly at ggtyler@yahoo.com or drop us a call at 530-626-7334 We are here normal business hours Monday through Friday Pacific Standard Time.

Cable Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Prices: Moustache bar $250 Front Diff Mount $150 I assume the front mount is intended for a Q45 R200 in a 1 gen Z car? Correct? If so, you'll be the first to build a front Q45 R200 mount for our Z cars. Awesome work!! Same goes for a mustache bar (Q45 R200)? Thanks!!

speeder Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 If I didn't already have my issues sorted... Mike Mike, Did you somehow address the S30 stub axle strength issue? The Technotoy setup is the only one I've found that solves this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZ1 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Do the 300zxtt axles have to be shortened or modified? I didn't see this in the posts anywhere, may have missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say yes,,. custom cv axles. When i did my z31 swap axles had to be shortened considerably. I sent them to the driveshaft shop with the measurements and they sent me back assembled chromoly shafts with z31 cvs that bolted in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZ1 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Sorry, didn't really pay attention when I read that. Thanks. Are custom shafts really that expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I paid 400 for mine and had to supply the cores. Basically you pay for the shaft itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I was thinking. The r230 adn r200 are good diffs BUT you are limited with gear slection. especially when you go with autos. Anyone put any thought into something like this but using a ford 8.8 irs setup? lots of aftermarket stuff for it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

231Z Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Speeder - Did you follow thru and place your order? I'm curious to know your opinion. I'm also watching this thread like a hawk. The thought of off loading all the new stuff that is still in boxes that will now be useless. Tyson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I took a deep breath and placed the order last week. My setup will include a hybrid R230 (Armada case/2.93 R&P with Z32 LSD input /output flanges) that has different mounting ears than the Z32TT diff so I will fabricate my own front mount. Also, I have raised my currently installed R230 diff to sit about 1-1/2 inches higher into a notched subframe, so I will provide measurements for Gabriel to custom machine the new moustache bar's mounting holes. Except for the front mount, I will be getting the complete Technotoy setup as shown above. Very pretty and beefy stuff, can't wait to get it. I also have some beautiful tubular RCAs (Thanks Dan 74_5.0_260Z) to install at the same time. Of course, I'll post pictures when it's installed. Since those 2.93s are way too long for my turbo L/ Gforce T5 setup, I'll use my existing standard 3.69 Z32 diff and make the new front mount for the hybrid diff when the Buick swap happens. (Yes, it really will, just don't ask when.) I guess all who are following this have come to the same realization: Making big power is the easy part - The real challenge is hooking it while keeping your junk unbroken. With my 325/50-15 M/T DRs and stick shifted ~450 rwhp/500tq turbo motor, breakage has been a regular occurrence, and I've been most worried about those wimpy stock size stubs. I'll be giving the new rear a good tuneup for things to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
