Re: Datsun 280ZX IMSA GTU race car build...

That is a light car, wdll done. Fun with I assume 250-300hp it should fly. I too assume you (or driver ballast weight was not in it). Since you have all the adjustable suspension might be worth chasing cross weights with driver weight. There is a good video on it here https://youtu.be/jpuztcGQM9k?fe...

Re: Datsun 280ZX IMSA GTU race car build...

Truly understand how much time, effort and racecar dollars (which are not like real dollars) go into these projects. Can wait for the dyno results and to see it in person. Well done to get to the finish line.

Re: Passive belt light

Google is your friend "there should be a cord under the seat attached to the buckle and that usually gets run over by people adjusting there seat and it causes a bad wire"

Re: Datsun 280ZX IMSA GTU race car build...

Looking awesome, my only comment would be that Bob Sharp rocker cover just looks out of place, you should pull it off and replace with stock. I of course would be willing to take care of it for you. :lol: Interesting going for the PDM, just purchased one myself (for the ZX) and going to be interesti...

Re: Close Ratio 71C gearbox

Oops sorry forgot to update this post. I have built the gearbox and race tested it - great stuff. Close ratio is nice and the stronger 71C kit is holding up to punishment so far. Don't see any reason for it not too in the future. So we had some issues with parts. 71C gearbox are not that easy to fin...

Close Ratio 71C gearbox

First if you want an understanding of upgrading the gearbox in your L6 from a 71B to a 71C, either in your 240Z or in my case 240K, this is probably the best information currently on the net https://forum.zclub.nz/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=143&p=40473&hilit=71c#p40473 And some good info here h...

Last time I was at HPC they had heaps of colours and types of coatings. Shiny silver would be my choice.
