Icehouse Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Are you going to have to run longer wheel studs? Thats a lot of brakes!! Especially for a L motor :D Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 That strut and hub are spares for mocking things up. The studs on the car are plenty long enough for the spacers. Yea yea, I hear you snickering over there Iceman. You wait until that L motor's intake is no longer running at a vacuum! Then we shall see what you really think of L motors :) Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 so you need bigger spacers than the ones you were previously using? Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 What master are you running.... Did you mention it somewhere and I missed it? Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 I have 15x7 wheels with 21mm offset. I was running a 6.5mm (1/4") spacer to clear the strut tube/coil over sleeve. I need 13mm (1/2") to clear the caliper well. I have plenty of clearance with that amount of spacer. That means a ~8mm offset wheel would be perfect in 15" or the more likely option is a 16" wheel with a 14mm or so offset. The spacers I just ordered are machined not cast, so I don't see them being a problem. I'm running the ZX master that is on the car for now. If I find I have a volumetric issue, I'll figure out a plan at that point. My current backup plan should the ZX not move enough fluid to have a good pedal, is a properly sized Wilwood dual master.

slodat Posted June 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Thanks for the photo Iceman! I don't have any of the beginning. I'm doing my best to get the car running for Canby. Have had some shit going on and needless to say, the car hasn't been touched in a couple weeks. Wish me luck. I have 2.5 days. Anyone wanting to come by and encourage, please do!!!

Icehouse Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I was surfing the net and ran across it, I thought you might like it :D I just can't believe its Canby again!! Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 After having a major fight with the car, I decided we should make up and went back to work. No more than I got the front hubs apart and the new bolts on and another stumbling block. The wheel spacers' center hole is 66.1mm and needs to be ~70mm. Uggh.. Mike (dislexicdime) pointed out to me that I am building a custom car. ie: par for the course. So, I'm hoping the guy that made them (to application - 280ZX) will send me another set that are the correct size. Quote Link to comment
Green Bastard Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Slo, Can you turn down the shoulder on the hub to match the hole on the spacer? Quote Link to comment

Duke Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 After having a major fight with the car, I decided we should make up and went back to work. HAHAHA, I just had one of those, but I put that bitch back in line. Quote Link to comment
