mikey Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Good thinking on the 432 stz. But, I don't know if I'm completely sold on it. I'm a fair way off building the exhaust thou, so I'll mull it over some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickeyThief Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Who cares who gets it, it looks boss as shit.For those that dont know what we are talking about. So the exhaust tip style? The double vertical stack man. It's certainly a bit different. I think I probably would go for it, but I wouldn't cry too much if I couldn't have it.

I'll get the pipe bender this week and bend/cut the pipe up for the cross-member. It might pay to have a yarn about things before I dick it up? If you wanna, you could come around and have a yarn and see what I'm planning, or I can bring it around to yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I can bend shit up at work if you give me appropriate measurements. Happy to roll round some time, what area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJZ Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I saw this and thought of you, seems a bit expensive but I don't know what they normally go for? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/parts-other-makes/other/auction-483088684.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 Oh yeah, I saw that too. I'm 50/50 on it. I reckon it's super expensive. But that's what you get it seems: http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.asp?id=48009 ... =1&ct=link For now I'm gonna stick with the 4 pinion r180 and see how we go. Some people reckon they're good for over 350hp. And I'm not gonna drag it. The thing that put me off the r200 is price; I'd need to get CV half-shafts, custom made hub flanges, the diff itself, moustache bar and transverse link. The half shafts would probably be 300zx ones, but I'd need to shorten the splined shaft so they don't bottom out. All that would cost shed loads. I suppose I could just use uni half shafts from a 280z as a cheaper option. But if I were to do it I'd rather go to CVs while-im-at-it. And I doubt they'd be much cheaper anyhow based on pricing for the mustache bar and LSD prices! Damn money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Sneakily swap diffs/subframes with Pedey and Taryn's 280Z while their backs are turned.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Ohhh yes! I think that's probably a fair trade for sectioned struts. Ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Naww cute. How did those mounts end up working with the engine. Good height? Gearbox crossmember is working hawt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Naww cute.How did those mounts end up working with the engine. Good height? Gearbox crossmember is working hawt! Tee hee! I love how things are actually working how we planned! The mounts would've meant I'd have to run a 20mm isolator which would've left me no breathing room, so I ended out cutting 10mm from the bottom and tacking them back up. Which gives me a lot more room for adjustment. Everything else looks pretty sweet. Even the new x-member seems to have stretched 1-2mm to bridge the frame rails perfectly! Ha ha. The sump is about 15mm higher than the new x-member, which I guess is a good thing. I have no idea what my ground clearance will be, probably about 70mm. Eeeeeek!
