akumazedex Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Greeting ratsun! After a long hiatus its finally back! I got me some of them coilover thingys. Last time you saw it, it probably looked somethung like this, fine piece of japanese classic engineering. But a bit too tall So I did what any sensible person would do an dropped it down a bit. So it was time to go into the shop Took some things apart, fixed somethings like by worn to shit brakes an wheel bearings Then I decided it wassnt loud enough and cut out the stock resonator and replaced the old muffler with a poop can Did some imagining about how it might look like dropped At which point I got around to actually installing these things, im pretty sure I dont need to show you guys the whole instal since its been done a million times already so heres some pics What im using is the megan/mckinney setup. I opted to not use the weld in camber plates cuz I think they look messy and not structurally sound. So ill be using the GC ones when I get some money after the holidays. And this is what we ended up with. The front can go about another 1.5 inches lower with the camber plates installed and the rear you can lay frame [url=http://s1234.photobucket.com/user/akumazedex/media/s30/20131204_150954_zps61fukmkx.jpg.html] Quote Link to comment
bludestiny Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 just curious, but where is the s130 these days? Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Hibernating at the shop. Trying to figure out what I wanna do with it lol. Went skid racing at word up in August but thats bout it. Quote Link to comment
that one guy Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 So what you're saying is that you can bolt in those fancy camber plates(link plz) and scrape everything? Interesting.....interesting... Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Yes. As bolt in as z's get http://www.ground-control-store.com/products/description.php/II=151/CA=93 Like these MUCH more that the weld in crap Quote Link to comment
that one guy Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Holy hell! 350$ bucks for that? Wouldn't it be easier, and cheaper, to just machine some 1/8 think steel in the same pattern at the coilover hats to allow for adjustment? Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Oh I suppose lol. I dont feel like doing r&d tho, nor the resources to do so. So this is the most practicle way for me. :P Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Hahaha, haver them machined. You show me a shop that will machine all that, press in studs, anodize and include hardware {x2} for $350. Cracking me up. Btw, looking good bro. Maybe a hair lower in the front but looking good!

What do you mean press in studs? I don't think we're thinking the same thing... I'm thinking literally just a plate with adjustment slots that the top hat fits into and can adjust from there.

Spoona_Jay21 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I love this S30. Glad too see my friend thayer isn't the only person that believes everyone needs a Tri-Force in life. Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 ^ hahaha! Yeah... zelda fanboy since forever lmao. Yeah, if you look a page back, I got some bolt in camber plates but they wont work with the coils I have, maybe ill see if I can work with those. Or even use them as a template. Ionno. Ill figure something out. The front will drop another inch or so when I get the camber plates in. Theyre maxed out right now in front, if MOAR LOW Is needed you can swap in scooby front bodies in since theyre shorter. 1 Quote Link to comment

SR20DETdatsun510 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Pretty Shnazzy. Pay up a vid. I wanna hear them brother! Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Since I have a bad habit of going on a hiatus here's what's going down with the zed. Gave up on the L series due to high cost with little return to build it the way I wanted to. Soooooo..... All in all pretty decent, couple rusted freeze plugs and the coolant passages are pretty rusty from sitting around, but we can work with that. Currently have a bunch of maintenance items on the way and gaskets to reseal the motor. That's pretty much it for now. Will post up when progress is made lol. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Awesome glad your back, those were the RB20's from the 200zr (Z31) in japan right? Don't know how much you paid but there's a RB25 in SoCal that is selling for $1500 $1200 without the custom made oil pan. Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Yeah. It's a nics rb20. Little bit of work an I got a decent motor. Plenty rev happy too. And no custom pan needed! :P Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Awesome glad your back, those were the RB20's from the 200zr (Z31) in japan right? I thought most of them came from base model Skylines? I think the Z31-chassis 200ZR came with a VG20E. Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted July 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 200zr had the rb20 with a top mount, r31's had conventional front mount. 300zr had a twin cam NA variant of the vg30 Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 The vg20et was the 200z/zg/zs Quote Link to comment
