Hi Guys, i am posting this a little early, but in the near future i am going to be upgrading the brakes on my 240K The Car currently has a set of upgraded front brakes which i am looking to sell (they were on the shell when i bought it). My car currently has C210 struts, but i do not think this makes a difference (i believe they were only swapped as the struts were height adjustable) The Calipers are Toyota Hilux with Honda accord discs. They fit under my 14" rims and according to the datsun 1600 guys, are a pretty good upgrade to the 240k ones! Not sure what they are worth, i guess around $350 for the calipers, pads and rotors? they will have to come off when the upgrade…

I came home today to find 2 nice big surprises! 2 huge watanabe boxes with my nice shiny new wheels in them!! I ordered a set of 16x8 (0 offset) and a set of 16x8.5(-6 offset) Watanabe R wheels. The wheels were ordered as magnesium coloured with machined silver rims Unfortunately when i pulled them out of the box (man are they LIGHT!) they are all magnesium (so no silver finish). Not sure what is going to happen yet, i have emailed the guy who ordered them for me to see what the best course of action is anybody know somebody in sydney who would be able to machine the rims and polish them up? i have no idea what it would cost to do, but it may be an option to fix them …

How do you think these would go? http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com.au/viewitem?itemId=181041321107&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=14494925318 I was given supposed s13 coilovers to transfer to mine but I went down to datsport and they told me the ones I have wouldn't fit... Has anyone done a coil over conversion and is it difficult. I have the larger diameter 240k brakes. So was looking at the hilux/magna setup. I've read a couple threads on it but none were a straight answer on what caliper and disk off what model etc. Cheers Terry

240K Handling 1 2 3

Hi Guys, Just wondering if any of you have done any suspension work to your cars to help them handle better on the road/track. I have some real concerns that after i do my RB25/30 swap, the front is going to be a lot heavier and understeer a lot more (that is... if the car ever gets traction) So far i have the following (suspension wise) Front: height adjustable shocks (C210 i believe) Whiteline BDF33 swaybar Whiteline SPF1224K bushes Rear: Munroe GT shocks Whiteline BDR5 swaybar Depending on what size rims that i get (hopefully 15/16" watanabe if i EVER find some), i will lower the car accordingly. The swaybars go on over christmas, i will make sure …

I have a pair of rear brake drums that came spare with my 240Z when I bought it, but were lost in the deep dark cave known as the "garage" some time ago. I found them again the other day and thought why not swap them into the 240K? They look fairly identical except the Z has heatsink shims around the drum. Before I go ahead and do it, is it ok??? I don't see how it could be a problem, but I thought I better ask. Here are some pictures. Both are marked with MAX. DIA. 230.0MM, 9.055 as shown in the second image.

Hi Guys, i am once again looking into getting off my arse and doing my brake conversions. does anyone know (and i am sure there will be someone) if a 240Z rear brake conversion kit would work on a 240K arm? looking at something similar to this: http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=&products_id=2 the 240SX is the equivilant to the imported 180SX here i think.

Can anyone tell me the difference between http://page3.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/c108361236 and http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r24545868 And secondly, would it be possible to get something like this in Australia for around the same price? Where might I look??

Hi Guys, i am just about to put in an order for a set of 16x8 (0 offset) front and 16x8.5 (-6 offset) rear watanabe R's in magnesium centre and polished lips. The reason i am going so large is to fit a set of R34 Skyline GTT disc and calipers on the front (large 4 spot aluminimum calipers, 300mm discs). I chose the particular offset and size as this was one of the 2 recommendations from the watanabe website (the other being in 15") for the KPGC110 GTR, and the GTT came out with 17" wheels standard. To be honest, i have no idea if the 16" will fit, i have the flares to go on the car, but someone also said the GT-R track is wider than the KHGC110. anybody here good with wo…
