visatrade240z Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I need help to find exactly the upgrade parts (because I am 85% sure my car does not need to be restored) I will need so that I can add the price up before I buy. I have an idea of what I want (even though there are so many ways to upgrade a 240z) but I need help finding all these parts that can meet my requirements. Kind of like a online shopping cart. I may not have enough money today, tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now, or even a few years from now. However, I am going to piece it together one by one like a lot of Z modders do. First Let me say I appreciate anyone who puts in any input towards my project. I'm dreaming of a car. A car similar to the youtube.com video of "Darthviper vs one fast datsun." I'm not necessarily looking for horsepower, but more towards handling. I want it to have a little bit of understeer because I am a new driver. I don't need a car that drifts around corners. I have provided maximum prices for some parts to give you an idea of what I want to spend. I am interested in so that people dont get the wrong idea and go and find me a seat that costs $2500 or a wheel that will cost me $1000. 1. Racing wheel Sparco doesn't have an adapter. Requirements: The wheel preferably with a line marker at the top of the wheel (like the pro racers and rally drivers use). It must be round not a rally wheel because I am driving this car on a daily basis to and from work. [$300] 2. Racing seats. Sparco wont fit (I like Sparco can you tell?). Requirements: Must be "non adjustable back" But slide on a rail so that I can adjust if another person gets in my car. I want bucket seats that have a finish like a Sparco seat.[$750] 3. 4 point safety harness. Requirements: Must have a quick release in case I go over a bridge or something and almost drown. [$300 each] 4. Suspension Requirements: I need it to have some sort of way to adjust the shock travel so that it doesn't drop the wheels too much every time I lift the car in the air. Fully customizable suspension. I'm looking for the bada$$ of suspension. This car will see the track but alot more of the street so not too stiff but maybe adjustable to be super stiff. [THE SKY IS THE LIMIT] 5. Next I will probably work on the body of the car for a while until I get enough money to mess with the rear end (next step). 6. I need a beast for a rear end. I do care about saving a little weight. But I would rather have something back there that I know wont blow even with a 300-400hp engine. (please consider the engine I will be using in the next step) Requirements: Must have a 2 way limited slip differential (geared not clutched) (to be decided for sure, Someone Talk To Me About LSD differentials PLEASE). Must have CV joints instead of U joints. Able to withstand 300-400 horsepower (even though I'm not probably ever going to get that much out of the engine I'm using) [THE SKY IS THE LIMIT] 7. The Engine, V6 very lightweight or an engine known for excellent weight distribution. Doesn't need turbo or supercharger. However I do want fuel Injected [expensive is fine] Anyways, That's my wishlist for now. Thanks for looking everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
