Pharaohabq Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I´m not sure which diff I will put into car. It could be stock R200 with Quaife LSD.What bearing issue do you mean? Fronts are same size as stock and I have new ones. How big rotors they make for Z31? was talking about the rear bearings, aren't the stock 260/280 Z bearings small for the Z31 shafts? I'm not sure how large the rotors are on a Z31 Phar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharaohabq Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Little bit testing with big Alcon calipers and 17x8" ET30 wheel. That wheel is from my daily driven and not for Zed, wrong offset... http://toni.dnsf.org/260zrojekti/jarrut/ bottom 8 pictures Discs and calipers certainly look good. How are you thinking to mount them to the stock strut tower? I was thinking pehaps mounting a plate to the back that then had two other holes drilled to accept the caliper bolts. I dunno maybe something like this, I know my photoshop skills suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni L Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 was talking about the rear bearings, aren't the stock 260/280 Z bearings small for the Z31 shafts? Phar I haven´t been working with these parts but if I fit Z31 shafts I will use custom bearing. Not any Datsun/Nissan stuff. And yes, I can install those calipers with adapter. I will do it later when front bearing, hub/disc are bolted on and in correct place. I have to modify that strut for Coil-over install first..

Toni L Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 Something new. I found CLSD from Datsuns´s R200 diff. There is written LOM59, so could be Nismo? I bought Defi-gauges and more is coming. 115mm tachometer and maybe 115mm boost. 60mm oil pressure would be nice too. Some parts restored and painted. No more rust.

Toni L Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 New engine 2JZ-GE. Will be fully rebuild for turbo use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 BTW, Many finns have invaded hybridZ... That makes me think...... The city of Lake Worth, Florida (supposedly? I verified it somewhere, at some point, but I can't place 100% confidence in this factoid) has the largest community of Finnish persons outside of Finland in the world. I've known lots of Finns and always found them to be exceptionally pleasant, enjoyable, and downright friendly people.. but if any of you folks have relatives over here that you should happen to visit, West Palm Beach is right next door to Lake Worth, and you guys are more than welcome to drop me or my brother (cobra_tim) a line if you'd like to visit and talk Datsun. Or, if you could use a Datsun friend state-side and know someone local.. Just putting the offer out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharaohabq Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 New engine 2JZ-GE. Will be fully rebuild for turbo use. So what made you decide on this engine? What Tranny and gear ratio are you going to be using? Something that size, You're going to have plenty of room in the front of the car.

jay28 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 great work your doing there toni, cant wait to see this finished! Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvice Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 You're going to have plenty of room in the front of the car. It is still a very large straight 6. I think it will fill the engine bay more then the L6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that size, You're going to have plenty of room in the front of the car. Phar 2JZ got potential to be powerful engine. Naturally aspirated version too. Tranny maybe R154 from 1JZ or something better (Tremec Tko-600 is intresting, but expensive and requires much work). Now I´m working with coilover suspension. Tein Flex with EDFC from Subaru Impreza. Today i was measuring everything so local metalshop can make new Sleeves. http://toni.dnsf.org/tolppien_suunnittelua/ New intake-project started too..

Toni L Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 With 220mm sleeves in front: - height from stock to - 85mm and - 50mm more if you adjust spring. 280mm sleeve rear: - height from stock to -90mm and again 50mm more with spring adjust. - Or + 120mm Well, those are only my measurements to 2+2 with those Tein coilovers.

garvice Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Wow, you definitely have to go and take some photos of what they are going to do and make a good write up. That looks very interesting. P.S. Why must cats always lie on or in between stuff? My wife's cat does it all the time and it is really annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay28 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 wow toni, this is a very impressive build, going to be one hell of a 2+2 when she finished!!! Keep us updated! Jay. Oh and nice cat lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharaohabq Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 No, so wait, those new coils are stock Subi imprezza?? They don't look like they'd be too hard to fit. looks pretty nice for stock parts. maybe I should change me suspension... more picts please Phar Oh and Nice Cat...

So it can fit to Tein coilover. It is possible to make from original lower (green) part, but i didn´t want to cut those right now. And that new pipe need to be welded to original strut. Today i was drawing new camber plates, whitch have to be water/lasercut from 5mm steel. And again there is no need to original Tein upper plates. I made little bit more camber adjust.

Toni L Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Planning front suspension and crossmember modifications - New holes for control arms, to avoid bump steer - Spacers for better roll center, 25mm probably not enough. - Old engine mounts out... I got camber plates today and started installation. pics: http://toni.dnsf.org/laipat/ I bought new rear wheel bearings for Z31 hubs and took old suspension strut pipes out. There will be lots of modifications in rear suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
