Well, I have been on here for a short while and figured I would post up some pics of the 240 I have been working on for the last 5 weeks now.

Here are some pics when I forst got the car-

I began by taking out all of the interior pieces and washing them down with a dishwashing soap and water mixture to get rid of 14 years of dirt and grime and dust that has deposited itself over everything in the car!

Here are some pics with the seats and whatnot removed... as you can see, the carpet was dirty as hell... there was coffee spilt all over everything that had dried and become rather sticky

Next, I removed the entire carpet from the interior... I wanted to get all the shit that was underneath it out.

I took out the rest of the interior (mostly... all that's left is two door molding pieces and the headliner)... cleaned everything up real good with soap and water, then I went to town painting the pieces... I will wait until they are dry to take some pics, but I am pleasantly suprised with the spray can's quality... the interior is going to look NICE!

Let me start off by saying that Tony is an AWESOME guy... I don't know if you guys know him... he has a maroon s13 coupe.

Here are some pics of Tony's gift to me!!

Here is the hole that was blown in the block of the KA24 after increasing boost to 10 lbs... head is still fine, so I am probably going to replace the head on my stocker while I build up the SR20.

Hasemi 6 spokes... fronts are 17 x 7.5 +29 rears are 17 x 8.5 + 32

Here are some of the most recent pics I have taken:

These are the Brembo rotors for the front... scored 'em off of eBay for $107.50 shipped.

Here are the new black door panels... I was going to paint the brown and tan interior with vinyl spray, but gave up on it... I was worried that after a period of time the paint may fade, flake, or just start looking like poo. So, I decided to do it the right way and swap to black and grey interior pieces... the only exception is the headliner since it is rarely touched.

looking good....want to sell the calipers? :D and where did you buys those wheels?

2k5 Rex

10-08-2006, 12:11 PM

Yeah right!

Weren't you looking for a 300zx Master Cylinder though... I think I know a junkyard that has one you could pick up for under $50.

I got the wheels from rbmotoring.com ... they are used- cost me $885 shipped.

no i need the calipers not m/c

2k5 Rex

10-08-2006, 06:55 PM

^^^ have you checked on NICO... there are always a few people selling the calipers and what not... you could always buy some new ones from Autozone... trade in your old calipers as the core... just don't tell them they aren't the same.

2k5 Rex

10-09-2006, 11:28 AM

I have a friend who recently did a brake upgrade on his Z32... I will see if he still has the calipers laying around and if so ask him how much he wants for them if you're still interested.

Dgramps01

10-09-2006, 12:24 PM

which junkyard has a z32?

also...why did you remove the sound deadening material if you were just gonna put the carpet back in?

and you should PM Ceasar Fernandez...(Yun Yomix) he might be able to help you out with a complete black interior...headliner included...if you need more pieces...ask him

Looks good man hope to see it out on the road soon!
also, what are your plans? drift or show?

myowncasualty

10-09-2006, 12:40 PM

i just ordered a set of iron z32 calipers.

2k5 Rex

10-09-2006, 12:46 PM

The junkyard I went to is on Smiley just east of TNH... they had another NA that may till be available... both cars were missing the front passenger calipers though.

I removed the sound deadening material by the firewall because it was cracked into a million tiny pieces... most everything else I left in.

Do you know if he has a lack dash in good condition (i.e. no cracks... I have most everything else). The headliner actually turned out really good, but I may still be interested in it since I imagine it won't stay that way forever... I'll make sure to shoot him a PM.

I mostly plan to track the car with some occasional drifting, but I still want to be able to drive it on the street. My philosophy has always been that you do not need to sacrifice style for performance... I plan on making a kick ass track car that will still be high in the style department.

^^^ For sure!

I just go the wheels in yesterday... coilovers have been delayed until next Friday 10/20... just ordered some Hawk HPS pads as well. I also picked up that steering wheel and Silvia mats that were being sold on vegasdrift.com, so those should be in this week.

Need to get some rubber on the wheels now... if anyone has any hookups lemme know, god knows I could use it!

I will be sure to get some pics up as soon as I have the suspension put back together and the wheels on.

For one... the C-Tune links are better than stock.

Second, the wheels are three piece aluminum alloys and are incredibly light and came in the perfect offset for the car... and have you seen anyone else running these? A helluva lot better than some 5Zigens like everyone and their mother has.

cfinch

10-13-2006, 11:57 PM

lol I would rather have 5zigens... Like your really gonna notice a difference in weight? Even if you could the rims are ugly and the sizes are horrible... I mean lets not kid ourselves here you gonna need -30mm fenders to make those things flush... Unless your gonna run some super bubbled out tires that will look even more retarded... 5 zigens may be played out but thats because they come in get width's and offsets for the s chassis so yeah...

LV240S14

10-14-2006, 02:58 PM

lol those rims are hella shitty 17 by 7.5 plus 29 omg and you say "you do not need to sacrifice style for performance" go sacirfice some money and get some real rims. Other than that not bad. The c tune links are going to need to be lubed alot.

2k5 Rex

10-14-2006, 07:03 PM

Seeing as how I am planning on going with wider fenders they will work perfectly.

Professir

10-14-2006, 07:11 PM

Unless im missing something, your not even going to be remotely close to flush with over fenders with some 7.5 +29 wheels. unless you plan on running some mighty large spacers.

2k5 Rex

10-14-2006, 07:37 PM

^^^ Nevermind, you're definitely right.

I originally had a set of Panaracers I was going to run on the 240... even lighter than the Hasemi's... they were 16x8 up front and 16x10 in the rear and the offset was +25... but the center bore was too small. I was planning on running a flared fender with those because they were going to require a spacer.

I'm definitely still learning about these cars, so feedback is always appreciated.

LV240S14

10-14-2006, 08:04 PM

heres some feed back: you rims suck don't worry about the weight as much as what they can do for you i mean it depends if you are sticking with a ka or going sr as far as size but if you are running a sr those rims are way too small.

faust1337

10-14-2006, 08:21 PM

16x8 +25 and 16x10 +25 wouldn't need wide fenders either =\

Take those rims as a loss, get something new :D

Professir

10-14-2006, 08:42 PM

17x9 +0 :mario: Def. wont clear stock, un-touched fenders though =]

i think you are missing the bigger picture dude . are you sure your wheels clear z brakes? they are shitty wheels none the less but they will be REALLY shitty if they dont even do a simple job like clear your brakes.

2k5 Rex

10-15-2006, 08:42 AM

I bought these wheels from rbmotoring... is anyone on here even familiar with Hasemi Motorsports? ( http://www.hasemi-ms.com )

Does anyone on here even know who Masahiro Hasemi is? He was an incredible driver for Nissan in the JGTC... his name is pretty much synonymous with Skylines... he won the JGTC championship in 1989, 1991, and 1992.... also won teh Japanese Sports Prototype Championship in 1990 and won the Daytona 24 hour in 1992. He retired from racing in 2001 and started Hasemi Motorsports... he has a JGTC racing team and makes performance parts for his team as well as street cars.

The wheels came off of a Skyline, so yes they will clear the Z brakes.

2k5 Rex

10-15-2006, 08:58 AM

And here is some more info on why aluminum alloys provide better performance... if you are into ANY kind of racing you will see benefits.

1. Reduced Unsprung Weight Compared to Steel Wheels

This is one of the most critical factors affecting a vehicle's road holding ability. Unsprung weight is that portion of a vehicle that is not supported by the suspension (i.e. wheels, tires and brakes) and therefore most susceptible to road shock and cornering forces. By reducing unsprung weight, alloy wheels provide more precise steering input and improved "turning in" characteristics.

2. Improved Acceleration and Braking

By reducing the weight of the vehicle's rotational mass, alloy wheels provide more responsive acceleration and braking.

3. Added Rigidity

The added strength of a quality alloy wheel can significantly reduce wheel/tire deflection in cornering. This is particularly critical with an automobile equipped with high performance tires where lateral forces may approach 1.0g.

4. Increased Brake Cooling

The metals in alloy wheels are excellent conductors of heat - improving heat dissipation from the brakes - reducing risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. Additionally, alloy wheels can be designed to allow more cooling air to flow over the brakes.

Now, for a general road use only car... this may not be such a big deal. But, I plan on tracking my 240sx quite often. The only reason I have kept the interior is that I am not ready to turn into into a dedicated track only car. I will still drive it on the street on occasion, but it will most definitely not be my daily driver.

cfinch

10-15-2006, 06:53 PM

oh man this thread is gay... Those wheels came off a skyline cause he was tired of being made fun of... The wheels are horrible... lol and your gonna come on here and try to make a point about wheel weight? What the hell are you gonna be doing where that will even matter and your wheels could be 5lbs each but it doesnt change the fact that your tires will be bubbled out all nasty and fuck it I'm not even gonna get started... This is too pathetic... Put the gay wheels on your car and have them look hella sunk and run your bubbled ass tires and let your car feel like its riding on balloons and don't listen to anyone on here because we obviously have no clue what we are talking about. I just started drifting yesterday infact...

Cause you admit your new to this and you are trying to prove that some wheels are better than others when you have no a clue... They are gonna look stupid end of story... Would you rather us tell the truth or just roll around and have everyone laugh at you.

haveblue

10-15-2006, 08:48 PM

those wheels will be fine. I run similar offsets with 16". They will not be flush if you camber the fuck out of them though.
You will need to chose your tires well too. Not my style but whatever. (give the guy a break guys, jeez. at least they arent some Motegi racing shit).

If you have some wheels and the bore was too small but the bolt pattern matched have them machined to fit.

I bought some kosei k1s for track use. they are cheap and light as all fuck.

ctune will need lube, my rucas are the same design and start to squeak if i even look at some water.

2k5 Rex

10-15-2006, 08:49 PM

I'm new to 240's... I am definitely not new to the car scene.

I am coming from a WRX, and offset is not near as much a concern as I have found it to be on the 240's.

Here is an honest question... I am probably going to run 215-45's on the front and 235-45's on the rear. Since I am not going to be tracking the car any time soon (I will be building up the SR over the next several months), I will use the Hasemi's for now and just run some spacers to make them flush... I am thinking 10mm spacers in the front and 5mm on the rear... would that do it?

shut the fuck up you fucking fuck fuck

as for the rims fit them on then see how much of a spacer you need. running a 215 on a 7.5 inch rims is going to have alot of sidewall play.

i dont get why you would convert to 5-lug for some duke rims... no offense

Its the truth... Your so worried about having some jdm tyte rims and trying to justify it by weight have you every thought of the sidewall play? 235/45 is like the worst tire size in the history of man especially on a 8" rim lol... lol I got 100 bux says his battle ship floats with those ballons on his wheels lol...

I'm new to 240's... I am definitely not new to the car scene.

I am coming from a WRX, and offset is not near as much a concern as I have found it to be on the 240's.

Here is an honest question... I am probably going to run 215-45's on the front and 235-45's on the rear. Since I am not going to be tracking the car any time soon (I will be building up the SR over the next several months), I will use the Hasemi's for now and just run some spacers to make them flush... I am thinking 10mm spacers in the front and 5mm on the rear... would that do it?
it will depend on how much camber you will run and how low the car is. personal taste has a lot to do with it too. I think my wheels/tires look fine but other people like to tuck rim. try it and see which way you wana adjust and how far. i have some crap spacers i picked up from autozone that I used when I needed to clear coilovers on steelies. you can borrow those.

Just save yourself the hassle and return the wheels and get wider wheels... Worry about the offsets later oh and if you don't have to modify the car in any way to make the wheel fit then they don't fit your car...

Tyre width, wider is better right?
Not always, it is a general misconception that wider is better. The object is to have as much tyre contact with the road as possible, but there is an optimum limit to this. On cars with anything other then a live axle suspension, such as McPherson at the front and multi-link at the rear on the S15, a wheel will have already have some negative static camber in it's standard form. This means that the weight of the vehicle is already not evenly spread over the width of the tyre, and is only further shifted towards one edge (usually inside) of the tyre as the suspension moves through its arc due to built-in camber curves. Wider tyre have other detrimental effects such as increased aquaplaning and friction (resistance) as well as increased steering feedback which may be good but up to a point.

It is also quite easy to "over tyre" a car depending on the wheels used. A tyres' width is designed by the manufacturer to work in with the wheel size, suspension geometry and vehicles weight. Increasing the width of the tyre will not necessarily increase the contact patch as the weight of the car is the same. The shape of the contact patch will however change under these circumstances, hopefully to the benefit of lateral (cornering) grip but only if they are fitted to the correct rim size.

This is particularly relevant to standard wheels where overly wide tyres will often handle worse than the original with the undersize wheel creating a balloon that easily walks and distorts though a spongy side wall. Properly matched wider and stickier tyres are a perfect match to a larger Whiteline Swaybars to maximise the extra load transferred to the drive wheels during roll.

Tyre width can also be a problem when the extra width grows out from the wheel hub face. This is one of the least understood but most common problems encountered when upgrading wheels and tyres with the most common symptom being the new tyres rubbing on the guards. Wheel offset is the real issue here but the wrong offset coupled with excessive width in the wrong direction becomes a nightmare on all fronts.

you haven't explained to me what his plans are....clearly demonstrating your insufficient understanding of what his goals are. If you don't know what his plans are, how can you reccomend the "right" parts?, wheels included.... JACKASS! This isn't rocket science.... in other words if he was drag racing he would want narrow width.

Wheel offset is the real issue here but the wrong offset coupled with excessive width in the wrong direction becomes a nightmare on all fronts.

lol I just read that ignorant shit you were able to cut and paste... Are you fucking serious? It's talks about tire sizes not wheel sizes... Are you that fucking stupid that you can't read that shit? It talks about the negative effects from running too large of a tire. Too large doesn't always mean width it also relates to sidewall height. Maybe you should put your glasses on and read that shit again.

not so fast...... you didn't really explain what you understand of his project. A 9" width in the front may not benefit him for daily driving. If he plans on cup racing it than a wider width might be usefull, depending on his suspension setup. You haven't explained a thing, all you've done is point your finger and try to put someone else on the spot.

Oh and yeah I do have 10" wide wheels on my car... I could actually step up in width because I have the power for a wider tire. You see I need a certian amount of grip without the sloppiness of having a bubbled out tire... The wider the tire I go the wider the wheel it's quite simple. People don't run 10" wheels just cause it's the cool thing to do but it's functional. Now if I stuck a 245/40 on a 9" wide wheel the tire would be pretty even with the wheel if not bubbled out some... Now I have 245's on my 10" wheel and the stretch eliminates any sidewall play and makes my car more predictable and provides a much more solid feel. Trying to drive competetively I need to use every angle I can to make my perform it's best. Bubbled out tires are fine for the weekend drifter but why would you spend that kind of money just to have the lesser of the 2 based on performance not "style" as you like to call those wheels...

You shouldn't be building a track car if you desire comfort on the street end of story. So your gonna run stiff suspension and fat tires to compensate and make the ride better? Build your car to perform it's best with the budget you have. If you have to rough it out while driving on the street who cares it's all worth it when you hit the track.

it all has to work together. the suspension geometery overall is whats critical, not the dudes wheel size or tire size. those are focal points in a larger system that you need to plan first. especially if its not a daily driver, you guys should know this if you're going to preach to me.

You're tire size should determine your wheel size.
for the purposes of drifting you want a tire that has good traction and a clean break away point that is easily predictable and does not change dramatically as the tires heat up. you also want to be able to brake traction easily at precise movements by overpowering their grip. if you tires provide too much traction you wont be able to brake them loose easily, if they don't provide enough you will be skating around like on ice. Throw some R compound tires on a stock 240 or some steelies on a 400hp SR and you will see these limits. Sidewall stiffness and hight is also is important and contributes to tire performance. you can play around with softer or harder tire compounds once you pick a particular wheel size to optimize performance. for this reason you should also pick a wheel size that has lots of different tires available for it.

I trust chris's judgement about tire selection and size because he has way more track time than everyone else here and that is invaluable information that can only be gathered by experience. I just don't like his taste in wheels :P

Guys, as I stated before... I am still building the SR... the car is not ready for hardcore track use.

When I get to the point where I have the power the wheels will definitely be changed... I like the style of the wheels I got and they are going to work just fine for now... they will, IMO, provide the performance I am looking for and would probably do well even as I start to add more power. At the top end of my goals though, I know they will not be the most efficient.

The first set of rims I looked at were 17 x 9.5's... the offset was too high though.

The second set I looked at was 16 x 8 up front and 16 x 10 in the rear... the center bore was too small and I did not want to spend the extra couple hundred dollars to have the job dne right at this time. I picked up the Hasemi's because I like the style, I knew they would fit and clear the Z brakes, and they will be more than suitable for the stock KA that is in there right now.

I went to 5-lugs right away because I knew I was going to be doing the suspension components first... no point in picking up a set of coilovers for the 240 that I am going to have to change out within a 6 months to work with the 300zx spindles. I knocked out the 300zx brake swap at the same time. Once I have everything on, I would at least like to drive it.

Truth be told, I was originally just looking for some 300zx TT wheels just to get the car driving. The best price I was able to find at the time was $450 and about $150 for shipping... I came across the Hasemi's, liked the style, and figured they would be easier to sell if I chose to down the road.

Well used jdm wheels are marked up considerably... I mean you made the choice and it's too late now... I mean your car will be fine with the wheels but as you progress you will find the want for a wider wheel with a better offset. Better to just do it the first time... Trying to resell those wheels will be difficult as well.

You're focus is narrow because he just needs the wheels for now to drive and felt that they would sufice for the time being. I asked you why you were pushing the wider wheels when he wasn't planning on using his car for anyhting special right now. that was something you clearly overlooked as you searched for the opportunity to argue instead of READ. So what do you want me to explain?....tire compounds, wheel construction and forging..... or how about wheel width and suspension geometery in a staggered setup? what is your problem in life?

Well used jdm wheels are marked up considerably... I mean you made the choice and it's too late now... I mean your car will be fine with the wheels but as you progress you will find the want for a wider wheel with a better offset. Better to just do it the first time... Trying to resell those wheels will be difficult as well.

Meh... I already got guys drooling over them on 240sx.org ... shouldn't be too hard to unload.

How is my focus narrow? This whole arguement came about based on the size of wheel and tire choice. I've proven my point and you have proven you have nothing knowledgable to say on the topic so why even open your mouth?

As for 2k5rex you got the right idea and are headed in the right direction. As you drive more you will find that purchasing those wheels was a mistake and you should have done it right from the beginning.

Truth be told, I was originally just looking for some 300zx TT wheels just to get the car driving. The best price I was able to find at the time was $450 and about $150 for shipping... I came across the Hasemi's, liked the style, and figured they would be easier to sell if I chose to down the road.

no you're absolutely right, I don't saee you on those forums, you wouldn't fit in at all....you have to know something to be apart of that crew. You can't get away with rambling on about information that is really all that important to a car that isn't going to be raced at a higher level. Tell me genius boy, how much of a difference will a 8" make over a 7.5"....how about a 7.5 over a 9"? If he had mentioned anything about wanting to gut the interior and go to the extreme, you would've been right in the sense that he needed the wider width immediately, but he didn't mention that at all. But you wanted to turn this into an arguement over "why he needs wider wheels". The dude's first question was: what do you think? not tell me about the advantages to these wheels.... you decided you wanted to look cool in front of you buddies here and tried to school him, you failed. You didn't explain anything to me that applied to the topic at hand: what do you think of these..... therefore, why do I need to go into to depth about things you most certainly wont understand, waisting my time, when we don't need to? I just doesn't make sense, and for me to do it, it has to make sense....... end of story.

curious to see what you drive lagwagon. its cool to have a few drag racers on here that have plans, but as for now, cfinch has proven himself with the fastest 240 in vegas. he doesnt drag race, so what you dont drift. as for wheel fitment, drifter choice is obviously going to be different than a drag racers. its not only the rim, but the choice of tires and extensive practice/testing of what works and what doesnt. yes we choose 9''/10'' with +15 or less offset and stretched tires and roll our fenders/overfenders to make some fit. and yes lots of people argue its gay and unsafe, but the stretched sidewall actually helps a lot due to stiff sidewalls. its a preference thing.

as for everyone always argueing on this board, its a joke. no offense, but majority of them street drift, hardpark at wendy's or sonic' or wherever you guys go. the rest are drag racers still in the 16's, just build your car and keep us updated if you decide to stick around.

10-18-2006, 12:27 PM

So I'm not supposed to put up my opinions on here? The bottom line is why would you buy something for your car when you could have spent the same money if not let for something that would perform much better... Why would you spend $1,000 a coilovers to stiffen the ride just to sacrifice some if that stiffness by running a smaller wheel/larger tire... I could understand if he wasn't 5 lug or didn't have the cash but this obviously is not the case. You may be knowledgable at what you do but the fact of the matter is your not when it comes to drifting... Stick to what you know...

YEs... I can admit that the size sucks (for the future where I am planning to go with this build)... however, I think they'll do just fine right now... I will end up wearing out the rubber that I am putting on before I complete my SR build.

I don't think anyone can deny that the style of the wheels are dead sexy (at least that is how I feel).

The good news, they are genuine three piece wheels and I will just end up getting new outer shells... WALAH! Issue solved... wider wheels and lower offsets, while keeping the style that I like... and I still come in for under $1500 total or so.

I've done many builds from my 66 GTO to a couple of F-bodies and 5.slows (5.0 for the non-mustang crew). The Subie is my current work in progress and I've had others from an Evo to RX-7's and Nissans. I've been sponsored as a driver before and driven everything from cup cars to a Top fuel Dragster.... (once). I really want to try Rally. Sorry to hijack your thread 2K5 rex, I like your style and will probablly be taking a few ideas from your build for my future build. I've driven cars with 200whp to 6000whp so, none of this is new by any means. :lol:

I would love to meet cfinch and his side-kick (whatshisname-lv240)....

trust me, I'm pretty easy going for a big guy. I can take it in stride....as for the others, well that's up to them. Either way I jumped in on some action that these guys felt like they had a lock on... not cool, also pathetic. I'm not too worried, to say the least.

I second that.

please, a lot of you guys are very young and don't realize you're speaking to someone with more life experience. I don't know why you guys seem to imply that there may be some physical altercation if we meet, in which I would be at the disadvantage. I don't know how else you could interpret those comments. I'm not really afraid of these implications as I know their shallow at best, nor do I desire and physical conflict. What exactly do you mean by these comments, guys?

i dont mind the arguments here, its a decent thread. but dont threaten people, come on now.

you guys should meet in person and share your experiences in racing altogether and see where you're both coming from. im sure you can both learn a little from one another, but dont get too confrontational

you're both (cfinch and lagwagon) are coming from two different realms. but hey, theres a track event tommorow @ lvms, gymkhana style, you guys should bring your cars and strut it at the track, its about $40 bucks? good time to meet up, race and meet people.

if i get off work early (or start really late) id like to run! or at the least, shoot!

is it tomarrow? I thought Street Wars was tonight...... I have no prob with this, I'm not a violent guy nor do I go looking for a physical fight. I'm a regular at the FILV (forced induction lv) meets now and they get together evey tues at the in-n-out on Sahara. You can always stop by there and check out a bunch of other turbo cars and we can chat.

I'm 18, and I'm not threatening anyone. But, in my expirience someone coming onto the forum and posting like you have...has ended in physical altercations..on more then one occasion.

Dont ask two seasoned members of our forum which one catches and one recieves, because to me that's asking for a physical altercation. I personally take offense when those types of things are said. I don't give a flying fuck about what you two are discussing, nor do I care how old you are or how many rx7's you've blown up.

When I said your fucking with fire, what I meant is your screwing with nature man. The way this forum runs, might not be right, but it works. Don't try to repremand a member like cfinch for saying someone wheels suck; if/when you do, your lowering yourself below him.

The fact of the matter is I own a 240 and have a purpose on this forum... Lagwagon doesn't he just wants to be a fucking douche bag. The fact of the matter is if you even have the balls to talk to me in person the way you do on here I wouldn't think twice about hitting you. How old are you? 40? 50? you think that makes you better than us? Cause your life is closer to being over? You think thats makes you a more knowledgable person cause your older? Age doesn't mean shit so why don't you wander off this forum and find yourself at home on some geriatrics forum old man.

you see, now that's the kind of attitude that causes fights. I don't have the same attitude problem as highschool was a very long time ago for me. I han't blown up any 7's......you have me mixed up with drag240 I think. That's ok, I was doing my first project car when you were in the first grade.

Got the coilovers on and the rear brakes and rotors on yesterday.

I had some fitment issues with the front calipers and rotors... I have 30mm ZX calipers and 30mm Brembo rotors for the ZX... the Brembo's said that they do not need to be machined before installing... so.. ???? I will take a look at them again this afternoon and see if I can figure it out. I am hoping that the guy who sold me the calipers didn't bullshit me and give me 26mm calipers... but if that was the case, they shouldn't even be close to fitting... these are just barely pinched right now... the front hubs won't spin freely with calipers on, and that is without brake pads loaded...

Should be getting some rubber on the infamous wheels tomorrow... just need to get the brakes completed and bleed the system to get this bitch rolling.

Oh yeah... I also found a pristine black dashboard that is en route as we speak... hopefully it will be here this weekend.

you shouldn't have any problems with the brakes. they should be plug and play. You need to cut/remove the dust sheild...that should be your only modification.
(your front set up is the same exact as mines)

As for the rears, i will be doing that probably around christmas (need to buy a couple more things) time...anyways..are you goin OEM for the rear 2 piston set up? as in are you using a 300ZX ebrake cable and 300ZX drums as well? or is it hydraulic?

hey 2k5 rex...did you strip the gunmetal Z32 at the Lamb pick-n-pull?

2k5 Rex

10-19-2006, 07:45 PM

The bastard that sold me the front 300zx calipers and SWORE they were 30mm lied!! I went to Myers to get a new set of 30mm calipers (ended up going with iron instead, I have heard they are stronger).

The gunmetal 240... was it the one that had a really bad passenger front collision? I know I stripped most of the interior out of that maroon coupe that was there... also pulled a unch of stuff off a metallic blue one, but it was already gone the last time I went back.

We got unlucky one day, they had JUST set down a Turbo Eclipse... the turbo was almost as good as new... no shaft play at all... unfortunately I only had a metric set of wrenched with me... the dipshits who installed the turbo on that car used Standard bolt and nut sizes. HAHA.... they also used aluminum foil as a gasket!

Yeah, I saw that gunmetal 300... wasn't me that got it though. I got my 300zx parts from Southwest Wrecking... I did end up doing the entire rear conversion, spindle, hub, e-brakes, caliper, and rotor.

I did get the steel inserts off of the rear LCA's from that 300zx though... that was the one thing they forgot :)

I will be selling the 26mm calipers.. you interested? I'd sell them for what I paid, $150.

The new calipers from Meyers were $246 and some change... I also had them overnighted so they would be in this weekend.

2k5 Rex

10-20-2006, 08:11 AM

The wheels will clear the brakes... there was plenty of extra space with 26mm ones. Clearance has more to do with spoke design than offset when it comes to brakes BTW. Coilover clearance is related to offset.

The only reason I didn't choose aluminum again was everywhere in town was going to take over a week to get. I was able to pick up the iron ones for the front and have them in by this weekend... and as you mentioned, they are less likely to cause rotor warping. With the front rotors generating the most heat that is an acceptable trade off... plus it saved me close to $100.
