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

Hi Mike, I recall someone on the BSR page mentioned he might make a copy of the BSR cover... It didn't get much attention as idiots like me who paid a bomb for one of the 150 that were made didn't want them to drop in value. B-Speed covers though are very nice! PDM is definitely the way to go, super...

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

Hi, We are considering build a 280Z race car for the ChampCar Endurance Series. It's amateur racing. We are concerned about the rear suspension. How did you configure your rear suspension? Is your rear suspension stock? Or are you using an aftermarket rear suspension? How large are your rear tires?...

Re: Identity the Mystery Plug .... and others...

There is no way to convert the Z33 nav system to english. You can do it on the Z34 but not Z33. The Z33 menu is quite simple, so if you use your phone camera and translate it, you can set up your phone bluetooth etc. As for the centre cubby, you can get them from a wrecker or buy new OEM. I bought n...

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

Well, I won't bore you with lots of FRP fix photos, just the end result, A number are posted on my FB build page. This is the first time it actually looks complete in nearly 20 years!

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

Ok, an update for this forum... All welding is now complete. Had to weld up the sills and added air-jack tubes front & rear. The roll cage was also amended to give more head room and add a new cross brace for the new steering column. Exhaust headers were ceramic coated by Pro-Coat in East Tamaki...

Re: 2007 NISMO Fairlady Z (Z33)

A few little changes since the last post. New slotted brake rotors all round and new pads, and new fluid. New rear diff bushes all round. Apparently the OEM center bush was a mission to get out. (I got some pro's to do it!). The diff got a make over whilst it was out, as well as new diff oil. The re...
