Danfinny Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Look ive known john for a long time we served together. And if he said the coilovers he wanted were on back order they were. As far as the four link goes he order it through summit. I believe thats what he said. He called me today he was pulling to sets of 280zx front end out of the yard. Johns not the kind of person to to do anything half ass or just drop a project. Was he pushing it on the timeline yeah. But he will get it done. And done right. 1 Quote Link to comment

jb1200 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Ok first of all this goes out to jock4224. I ordered a set of 280zx coilovers from Techno Toy Tuning on May 19 and I still haven't received my coilovers as of today. I'm not saying that Gabe isnt a stand up guy, what im saying is he hasnt came thru on my order. The rear that Dan was trying to tell everyone about is more than just a simple 4 link. I ordered a whole custom rear section including the suspension thru Summit from Competition Engineering. They also have been delaying my order since May 19. So yes I canceled the rear section and tomorrow I will be canceling the 280zx coilover order from T3. But while I was waiting on these custom parts me and a buddy of mine built a rotisserie that the car is currently connected to, waiting on the rear to come in. I'm building I custom car with only the shell being original. jrock4224 my skin is a lot tougher then you can ever imagine. So please stop talking shit cause you DO NOT know period. 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I haven't read any rules that say you HAVE to make progress at a set rate nor that you HAVE to post pictures of what you've done so far. This is someone else's project and while we all like to see progress and pictures perhaps there is a reason for any delays and or he works at a slower pace. It's not your call or business really. Now, I've cleaned up this shit, and we'll leave it at that. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 You can delete this too when you're done with it, Mike. You delete my posts defending myself and reaffirming my support in this. But you leave his posts where he calls me a liar. Um... Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Actually its a open forum mike where when u post a build thread its open to criticism .... its part of the original intent of ratsun, but again rules are all up to interpretation....i dont see anyone cleaning up my threads when they get shit in ... but there again im not the internet police and dont care what people post in my threads...jb 1200 abd i talked viz pms and are both quite clear and respectful..... he knows i wasnt being critical again i was the one 4 pages ago saying the reason jb doesnt post in here is because of some f the general tomfoolery... yet my posts get deleted..... class work mike.....your knowledge base is being dwarfed by your overbearingess...just saying jb1200knows im intently following his thread with intrigue awaiting more cool work and basically waiting for him to prove us all wrong....leep at it jb let s us know if theres anything we can help with ...

jrock4224 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 its no wonder he oesnt update..... granted nice car with non datto love mods ... but its been a harsh crowd to say the least....fqiq that car was dope i still woulda rocked a swap before taking it this far... oh one page ago but it was prolly more pages before my content was deleted.....keep it up jb ... i wanna see smokey 1200 burnouts...

datzenmike Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Corrected flat, I missed it. Posts are not deleted just hidden to keep this civil and headed in the right direction. J you're right it is a forum but if we allow too much criticism no one will post their progress. Just sayin. Now everyone lighten up ... not the end of the world. A little respect .... goes a long way. 1 Quote Link to comment
jb1200 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Ok guys whats that best "bang for buck" shock insert for the stock 280zx strut housing? I'm trying to get this done ASAP. Quote Link to comment
Dguy210 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Ok guys whats that best "bang for buck" shock insert for the stock 280zx strut housing? I'm trying to get this done ASAP. KYB GR2 are cheap and work decently. Not the best by any longshot but they don't suck. KYB 365013 is for the 280zx and should run about 30-35 dollars off amazon. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Ok guys whats that best "bang for buck" shock insert for the stock 280zx strut housing? I'm trying to get this done ASAP. KYB Gas-A-Just. Just a little bit more money than the GR-2, but so worth it. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 agree with flat if your looking for stock length which it sounds like u are the gas adjust are worth the little extra that they are.....order t3 coil over set up for it ...... should come with everything .... not sure what wheels your using but 250 is a good spring rate to start at ...some go as low as 200 lbs but springs are cheap enough u can always buy more later......like i said i run 7" springs to get the adjusting nut and what not away from the tire.... but it depends the wheel u choose too.....+20s on a it required a little spacer and a 7 inch spring .... u should have no problem build in the coil overs your self .... when cutting the perch off use a cut off wheel and cut the weld perpendicular to the strut body ... u can cut it close to perch and then once its off just grind the weld down ....mind u im running a cut strut too so u may be fine with a 8 inch spring regardless....

jb1200 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I'm gonna be using a 15x7 wheel up front. I was gonna with the 250lb spring to start with, just need the part number of the KYB Gas-A-Just shocks to seal the deal. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 rock auto should be a good place to source part numbers... like i said i went with a super shoort one.... the 250 spring is a great plce to start especially with the extra lbs on board out front ..... Quote Link to comment
jb1200 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 They only have them for the rear so I'm gonna look into the KONI adjustable shocks. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Are you looking for 1200 shocks? Measure yours and see what else comes close You may end up using rabbit or mr2 inserts. Quote Link to comment
