ZT-R Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Not sure on the paint code it was that color when I bought the shell. I do need to compound and wax it. I will eventually change it probably a silver/gray or a creme white, but that's when i have things the way i want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker81 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 yeah same story here. I have been trying to figure out exactly what yellow it is. I plan on changing the color at some point too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage-TechZ Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Out with the old and in with the new... I was expecting them to be really twitchy but they feel fine. Granted I haven't stabbed them yet, but normal street driving seems fine so far. Just wondering if there was much of a weight difference from stock-(one way or the other ) ??

jerryb Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Who's the supplier of those Hubs? Are they AZC as well. Also wondering where you got that gear puller for the gear on the crank nose. I'm having a hard time finding something that fits..?? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 The new brakes are a lot heaver than oem ones, well not the calipers but the rotors are but I didn't weigh them. Probably would not recommend them for an sr20 swap or something. The hubs are made by AZC as well. I used many things to get my crank pulley off, in the end i welded up a little puller of my own.

datsun dave Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Great build just had a read again from the start do you have any pictures from under the intake manifold ? And what did you bin from the original set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Ehhh I dont think i have anymore than what are posted. I did weld a 12an bung on the bottom to feed the AAC and another one goes to the IAC via 2 ports on the charge pipe before the TB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Few updates on the build. Installed HID projector headlights and headlight covers. Man what a difference. Also compounded and clay bared the paint. Man I could not be happier with the results from the clay bar. Simply amazing. I had so much crap impregnated in the paint and it took it right out. I am having T3 make some custom strut housings for me, hopefully be here by wednesday. Should allow to me lower the car another 1/2 inch in the rear and keep good ride quality. As it stands now if i lowered it much more the strut is pretty compressed and ride quality is severely reduced. So we are going to move the mounting tabs up towards about an inch and see what happens. I could do this myself in about 30 mins but hopefully if it works out he can make this an option for the kit. I need to put a groupbuy together for R230 gear. The 3.69 ratio puts me at 80mph in second gear @7800. It is kinda fun to only have to shift once driving around town, but I dont think I need to do 217mph as calaculated by one of these gear calcualtors. Wish I had the downforce and balls to do it... Maybe on a salt flat. Anyway, next up is some seats and a rollbar. Then the Borg Warner EFR should be shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider the GTR diff for your rear end, I couldnt be happier with mine. I agree 100%.

slowride Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) Love the stance! What are the specs of your front CCW wheels? Front offset? Rear offset? Beautiful dat! Edited April 3, 2012 by slowride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Fronts are 17x9.5 4.25 bs and rears are 17x10.5 6.25 or 6.5bs. I have AZC front hubs which push out the front ~5/8ths and the rear i have the T3 R230 swap. I think i can fit 11" in the rear but i can run the track out a tad to fill the fenders.

I did weld a 12an bung on the bottom to feed the AAC and another one goes to the IAC via 2 ports on the charge pipe before the TB. So do you have a bung on the inlet manifold to feed the AAC to a bung on the charge pipe before the TB. And a 2nd bung on the inlet manifold to feed the IAC to a 2nd bung on the charge pipe before the TB.

ZT-R Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Well a few updates. Changing out the lips on the rear... 17x11.5 On the way to get mounted, or so I thought. Turns out they sent 18" lips and not 17". These are actually 3.5" lips in the picture which is what i should be running. But I also have some 4" lips which is what the next picture shows. I am rocking about 3-3.5 degrees of camber on this right now. Im going to see if i can run my track in on the lower control arms but i don't think it will make much difference. Man it looks so much better. Hopefully i can take out some camber. Time will tell. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7277/7150887627_445b891b21_b.jpg Next up Almost done with it. Gotta weld a bung on my intake pipe. Maybe tomorrow if I have time. Eye Candy.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yem73z Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hey ZTR, where did u go to get the 6 bolt flange that bolts to the r230 input companion flange? The flange im wondering connects to the u-joint on the driveshaft. Did a driveshaft shop order it for u? Where can I get one and how much? I also have the TTT high mount r230 conversion set up with moser axles. Im trying to get my vq35de powered 240z on the road and the driveshaft is my last piece I need. Any advice would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
