DJZ Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I ended up parting it out, the block and inlet side and now going into Flauski's 240K and the head ended up in a 260Z I believe. I still have the turbo side. I'll build another turbo L series motor one day, for my other Z probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelvin Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 have the fronts machined off the 7.5" front wheels and have new outers made converting them to 3 piece and somewhere around 10" to 10.5" wide. I have a set of 17x7 0M's already striped apart, since your going to be cutting your 17x7.5's up would you be interested in doing a deal with a pair of mine and cutting them instead? would love a pair of 17x7.5 barrels so I can get some stager on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJZ Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 What offset are they and where are you? The 7.5s are a gay 45 offset but if you move the centres from what I've been told it takes about 15mm off that so they'd end up at 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvin Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'm not sure off hand, Il bum a ride out to the shed some time tomorrow so I can bung one back together and measure it up. I'm in Hamilton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJZ Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Okay sweet, let me know. I won't be sending the wheels off the get done till probably the end of next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvin Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Grabbed one from the shed today, offset is 39 but them with my centers being four stud thought they may be different so measured the distance from the back of were the centre bolts in to the inside edge of the rim which is 175mm. What part of the country are you in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJZ Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I'm in Christchurch, the wheels are on the way down to me from Auckland as we speak. Did you measure the offset with the centre mounted from the front or the back? I'll wait till the wheels show up which should be on Tuesday then have a look at them.

OSM Garage Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 Looks sweet bro. Got to a lower profile tyre and it'd look choice. But....stil get them widened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvin Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'm in Christchurch, the wheels are on the way down to me from Auckland as we speak. Haha gutted, could of swapped them over on the way though Hamilton The offset is stamped into the face of the centre with the size of the rim as well (like this 7JX17H2ET39) so that's with it bolted in to the front. The centre is 9mm thick and were it bolts up to the rim is 8mm so by bolting it in from behind it should give an offset of 22. Having said that your rims could be completely different (thinner,thicker,different backspace ect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJZ Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Measuring from the back of the wheel to the "flange" with no center mine measure 172mm. The flange is the same thickness (approx 8mm). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvin Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Sweet cheers man, just been pricing up postage to send mine down, yours up and of corse some money for your troubles and looks like its not going to be worth it. Il just keep looking for another pair/damaged set a bit closer to home. Cheers any way though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Calico Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Awesome progress man, its really come together fast. Im sure most everyone else on oldschool would love to churn out their projects this quick! Are the wheel bolts coming from the US ti as per factory? (supposedly this is a fact?) Good luck for monday. I hope all goes well, I bet you can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJZ Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Nah, mine didn't have titanium bolts from the factory, I've just got standard ones to replace them with. They are 7mm which is really annoying and they only need to be 5mm longer. I'd like to put titanium ones in there but the standard ones were expensive enough! It's lucky that I'm only doing two wheels, at least I'll have heaps of the standard ones left over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
