FINALLY...the Konig Rewind 15x7 +0 with Falken FK512s are mounted and on the car...but it's missing something...I need to slam the **** out of it ASAP! I think I've finally settled on a good Datsun shop in Fremont to build the custom coilovers so I can get some chassis-scraping going on!!!

PICTORZS!!!!!!

 

...and I'm still waiting to put this d@mn b!tch on!

 

nice terrance. i have confidence in your vision and once its done it will be one of a kinda.

any more pics of the wheels in the background? are those your works?

 

Nice. You'll be happy when that thing is lowered. What spring rates are you gonna go with on the coilovers?

I like the choice of airdam. I have the same one . Are you gonna swap to a 240z bumper when you put the airdam on? Here's a picture of mine with graphite rewinds.

 

omfg your Z is stunning!

Yah, I have all the brackets and mounts and the 240Z grill (delete the 280z grill blinkers) already, but I'm still in search of a decently good set of front and rear 240z chrome bumpers; if you ever come across any or know anyone who is selling them, you gotta let me know! haha

again, i think your car is cleaaaan!

As for the spring rates, do you have any recommendations? I very likely will be going to Troy Ermish Racing in Fremont to get the coilovers fabricated.

 

what a classic!

 

Yeah, the bumpers are getting hard to find. Just keep checking craigslist and ebay.

Most people use spring rates around 200lb/in front and 225lb/in rear for a street/track car with tokico illumina strut inserts. Anything stiffer gets harsh for the street but is better on the track. Keep in mind this is not from first hand experience but it's the general concensus from S30 guys.

Just as a FYI you can get coilovers here

Good luck with the build. Looking forward to seeing the progress.

 

Looks great, BTW I totally have the same wheels/tires, ha. Only problem was I got stuck with 14's, they didn't have that color setup for the wheels in 15's when I bought them. I need to drop mine also, if you can get it to Blackhawks museum June 30th there should be a good 10-20 or so s30's at the zonc show. I also went out for shots last week, didn't post them but here are 2....

 

man the datsuns need a drop badly! hope you get the suspension on soon!

 

I hope so too, being that I'm such a "slam your damn car" advocate!

 

As Borat would say :

"Very nice! My 240 wants to make a sexy time with your motorcar!"

 

Jinsei - saw this add and thought about you

Jump on the bumpers fast if the are in good shape.

 

OMFG thanks!!! I'm gonna check those out!!!!

 

looking good

 

better beat me to it....hahahaha...nah, I am actually in the process of looking for a 240z, dad wants one so we will be back to having 3 in the family.

 

I have a friend who has a 73 or 74?
Not sure he's still considering selling it... I'll ask him for you...

 

My dads picky, he is willing to drop 10k in a mint 240z, he thinks our 280z is not in good shape and wants better. He wont find one that is perfect, so unless your friend has one in pretty much stock mint condition I wouldn't bother asking. Thanks either way.

 

I love your dad's taste and expectations! True Z lover haha!

 

Hey guys I have a 280z dash cover in good shape. This one it came out of my former 280z.
