datsunfreak Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I thought we were punished when they shut down that 210 thread, I mean I understand cause it wasn't a buy anymore, but man it was like the teacher popped our hands for passing notes :P That was me. I asked a mod to lock it for me. Probably should have linked to this thread first, though... :rofl: Apparently, you can't go back and edit your own post in a locked thread... :confused: Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 lol, yea, it was a good idea to lock it. It kept getting bumped and hogging the spotlight over there. Any new progress? I am on a high note after my weber install (nothing big I know but awesome to me...) so I want to see some mad Datsun wrok :) Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 No progress yet. Should get some minor stuff done this week. But with my computer dying this morning, updates may be a lot slower than the actual progress. :) Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I hope this is running when I come visit in April... then you can pick me up from base in this and we can go cruising. Quote Link to comment
Burabuda Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 so who else knows the name of this goon? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Bwahahaha! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Around here they usually get named after the previous owner... :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 This goon is sweet. Some projects just sit. In the past i thought that was bad. But not so much anymore. If it is stored it's not getting smashed :) Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Ordered up some parts today, hopefully will install them this weekend. Got some caliper rebuild kits and pads for the rear brakes, new pads for the front brakes, a clutch master, clutch slave, and rubber line. So hopefully in the next two weeks it will at least stop, even if it won't go. :rofl: Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Since I don't think I mentioned it, current plan is to swap in the S110 200SX axle (disc brake H165), and use Z32 4-piston calipers on 11" Z31 rotors/hubs up front. Should be more than enough brakes for the Z20E, or anything else that gets swapped into the car in the future. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 What struts are you putting the z32 hubs on? Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 What struts are you putting the z32 hubs on? Z31 hubs, early Z32 calipers. And possibly on M30 struts. This combo is supposed to work together well. We shall see... If it does, good. If not, I'm just going to bin it all and get some 280ZX struts. ^_^ Quote Link to comment

Laecaon Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 You need late model Z31 turbo hubs... The kind with slip on rotors. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 You need late model Z31 turbo hubs... The kind with slip on rotors. But then you're stuck with 5-lug right? Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 But then you're stuck with 5-lug right? I guess... I havent looked to see if you could redrill the hub/rotor. I was thinking of looking for these hubs, but you have thrown a wrench into my thinking with a picture you posted in the 210 WTB thread. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 you have thrown a wrench into my thinking with a picture you posted in the 210 WTB thread. Which one was that? :rofl: FYI, sized up the 4-piston calipers to the M30 struts and they do bolt right up and appear to line up correctly. But my Z31 4-lug hubs/rotors are at the shop, so can't say for 100% sure it'll work until Saturday. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment

(course now you could have a bit of camber...) And I want to see more about that M30/Z31/Z32 combo... Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Same here... pretty excited about M30 struts. Id like to keep my skinny track width though, so we shall see what happens. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 The one that I said would require 15x7 et35 wheels... (course now you could have a bit of camber...) Ah. FYI, I'll be using 16x7.5 +33 wheels all around, and since the rear track is being widened 2", I need the track width gain up front. And I want to see more about that M30/Z31/Z32 combo... You shall have the info soon enough. B) Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Id like to keep my skinny track width though, so we shall see what happens. SOL. B) 280ZX gear is the only way to keep the skinny track. EVERYTHING else widens it. You could try something like this, or just get to fabbing your own caliper brackets. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
