the drop is cosmo racing coilover sleeves. i sectioned the front strut housings, grinded off the original spring perches, and welded on my own perches made out of spare piping. the front now fits a pair of 87-89 mr2 rear strut cartridges. the rear will fit 240z front strut cartridges if you make a spacer.. but unfortunately i havent done that yet. overall i think that cosmo racing coilover sleeves are a decent coil kit alternative instead of the ground control kit for the s30 if matched with a good set of strut cartridges. cosmo racing offers different spring rates for their coils up to 448 lbs/in. their site is cosmoracing.com

heres a pic of the chassis clearance .. hahahhaha

^^^^^ awesome wheels. =) so jealous.

heres mine.

im the second owner. bought it for 1000 bux from an old irish lady. 130k original miles. still runs.





just got here a few months ago. im saving up to get the body sand blasted. i would do it on my own but i dont have the tools. plus i dont know how to weld yet. =(

plans are for a ls1. with ZG flares and front lip.

also i found a company that makes coil overs for this car now.
its called Star Road.

its like 100,000 yen. not bad at all.

I might be buying a Z33 soon. What do you guys think of this?

Volk F-Zero Challenges

Fr: 18x9.0 +45
R: 18x10 +48

I am assuming I will need spacers, how thick?
Thanks.

at LEAST 25 for the front 20 for the rear. most Z guys are bitches and run shitty offsets but they have basically the same wheel fitment as S chassis's.

probably my350z.com, but beware, 350guys are just as bad as 240 guys. wanting the cheapest ebay knock off part, or ballers that can buy the most expensive shit.

'77 280Z
Megasquirt, EDIS-6, Holset, stripped, 10-point, custom piping, aluminum dash, 17"x9" front and 17"x9.5" rear, upgraded brakes, etc.

She is getting the full resto this winter and I already have a VH45DE sitting in the shop. Gonna try to go built internals and twin turbos.

Gotta resize some images, but they're on hybridz.org as well.

EDIT: BTW, WTH is with Z33 guys? This isn't a chat thread or your personal "gauging interest" thread...
