I'm BLUE Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I was looking at the wheelbase of the Z ... shame Datsun didn't put the wheel further forward. I imagine V8 would improve the balance considering how much of the six was in front of the wheels. I love both engines ... ;) I dug through my pics when u said this ... forgot i had these! 71 240z ... Gen I 350 Chevy ... ( its now 3/4" farther back since this pic) .... J I could run a smaller balancer to drop the engine another 7/8" ... but I prefer the larger factory balancer lol.... 5/8" clearancer between balancer and steering rack if wondering ;) ... Engine is offset to passengers side as well. 73 240z daily driver ... L28 engine ... factory position :)... absolutely love the l28 ... mileage .. low end torque ... zx 5spd Strut tower cap looking things ... i built these to wrap like a cone around top of strut tower ... bolted down on top ... then pinch weld three connecting points at the base that allow the caps to come off (I may just MIG weld them in to be done with it) ... a strut tower bar will be built... attached ... then triangulation from each strut tower cap to centerish of firewall ... via two additional pieces of tubing ... Still need to br finished ... final fitting ... ARC welded and ground down mostly ... these will get body-work when the rest of the car gets to that phase :D i decided to span the load of the triangulation points across the firewall attachment ... as best i can before finishing ... this is due to the idea of sharing the load,across, and in the event of a bad wreck i do not wish for this to be a harpoon lol. Building a rear ... strut tower bar ... it will be triangulated as well ... versus just a a single connection bar clear across the top... :) Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Little things ... Cut off hood latch retaining bracket ... will be relocated ... a few inches towards drivers side ... this is to allow room for distributor/maintenance purposes ... Deleted/took out wiper washer tubes ... they are in the way for firewall bracing purposes either way Grade-8 hardware for installing strut tower bar ... lol 1/2" I.D structural tubing pieces ... will be welded to the strut tower bar to allow removal. Grade-8 hardware bolted to ... 1/8 plating ... in which the ears will be welded to the strut tower caps Strut tower bar installed ... ears welded in ... bar itself is 1" diameter square tubing ... :) Another angle ... looks tight ... plenty of clearance ;) Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Not much ... re-cut ... shortened ... and re-welded the strut tower bar ... threw a coat of blue paint on it for heck of it, and to slow rusting lol .... blue my favorite Color. I know for sure i will weld two more adajacent 1" square tubing pieces ... triangulated to firewall to make just an entire 1-piece setup ..... rather than 3 seperate pieces ... I am much happier now with this result, and moving things around a bit ... :) On a seperate topic ... Does anyone know ... if i can use 0-gauge insulated speaker cable wire for my possible battery relocation to the "trunk" ? ( trying to get ideas flowing mostly) Is there a price friendly source ... to purchase very long battery cable lengths from? ( experience? ) Best route? Thankyou Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hhhhmmmm apparently 4-gauge or lower audio cable is ok to use in relocation of battery ... according to the interwebs ... one bird down ... i have some 2-4 gauge audio wire on hand :) Quote Link to comment
