Didn't get anything done this weekend.
Still shopping for throttle bodies, fondle fondle fondle

 

^^^ Ah I miss that picture.

 

Found out the same seller now has 10" fans for the same price, doh!
DUAL 10" INCH ELECTRIC FAN & THERMOSTAT RELAY | eBay

 

Great link. Am now following on ebay a couple of those sellers.

Thanks

 

So do the stock headers actually fit? And you're making new ones to flow better?

 

The stock headers won't work in the S30 chassis without hitting the firewall. I cut them up to use as mockup for the stainless tubes. I might use flexible stainless exhaust tubing from the flanges to the collectors.

 

At $11 per foot it could get expensive but I think it would look badass all twisted together.

 

Manifold is now ready to be bolted on.

 

That's amazing. All by itself it looks like it is ready for warp speed.

I'm sure I've seen something like that in a Star Trek movie. More power Mr. Scott!

 

"I need more time Jim!"

 

Just dreamin

 

There's a chopped down roof S30 in a Z grave yard around here. Vertically from the top of the door to roof line is less than 1ft. Looks pretty crazy... I think they were going for the ratrod approach, but didn't work out. I'll try to get a pic sometime.

 

Interesting. It would be quite an undertaking. It's not that hard with PhotoImpression lol but when I sectioned the picture it gave me some ideas of how to do it for real. Hope you can find the post, I don't remember ever seeing it. The speedster would be easier.

 

Time flies and nothing done. I did get a Walbro 255L fuel pump and I just scored a 12 circuit Painless wiring harness. So I'm just going to yank the old harness.

 

Went to picknpull for 1/2 price day. Got these cv axles and hubs out of a '91 Infinity M30. Got some Maxima rear calipers for a rear disc conversion. I did this on my "70 but I used 280zx calipers. Here is a pic of the brackets i used to make.

 

What knuckle are you putting those hubs into?

 

I am going to use the stock ones. I will have to bore them out to fit the larger bearings. It's about .010. I will have to section about 1/2 or more out of the companion hubs because the axles are longer. Not sure how much but the width of the 280zx and M30 are 2 1/2" wider than the S30. I might go with the 300zx 5 lug stub axles.

 

I know arizona z car puts a kit together that uses infiniti Q45 cv axles, wheel bearings, in their custom hub/knuckles.

 

When I was at picknpull I didn't notice the yellow dot by the fill plug on the diff. I looked it up on the web to find out what gear ratio it might have. Turns out they all have 3.9 vlsd!!! Went back today and snagged it for $100. Now I will have a robust set up for smokin both tires.

 

Check this one out. I would really like to do this!

I'm almost ready to do my Vortec/T56 swap into my 280z, made any progress lately @theramz?

 

Well guys I havn't had much time to work on my car and I'm still having trouble deciding on which bottle throtty, I mean throtty booty, I mean fondle body, I mean-

 

Now that is a flag I will salute, ungh!

 

I was trying to come up with something clever but Skully's beaten me to it.

For some reason I need a glass of milk ...

 

God Bless America! Both of them.
