Hi Guys, i picked up a set of C110 adjustable strut tops out of japan (thanks Miles!), but i found out today, that they do not fit my C210 adjustable struts (apparently they need some major work to make an adaptor to get the top spring seat to fit). Does anyone know i adjustable C210 strut tops are available anywhere? or should i go down the path of the whiteline adjustable universal tops, or just get my C110 ones modified.. I don't know which way will be cheaper

Here and there I have come across references to strengthening the rear suspension arm on the C110 but no details. I have yet to simply bend one without a crash and am curious about what is the supposed weakness and where the failure area is. Sure, they bend when you hit something going sideways but then there's usually plenty of collateral damage too. Can anyone enlighten me ?

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 …

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??

I know a lot of people here are very interested to know who i got my brand new watanabe's from, i didn't want to post details, until everything had been complete, but i am now more than confident to vouch for this supplier! The Guys name is Miki Yokohata from prestige mart (Details below), and he has been incredibly helpful during the whole process. The wheels are not what you would call cheap, but given that you could easily pay over AU$1500 for a secondhand set here in Australia, i thought it was more than reasonable. It cost me $2300 for a set of 16x8 and a set of 16x8.5 Watanabe R 8 spokes in Magnesium finish. That included shipping (EMS with insurance) as you may hav…

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.

Victor, I don't think the wheels on the wagon are TRD. I think they are period correct Campagnolos from Italy. Check out these shots from Uchida's web site. He's not selling wheels, just the decals. And here's set on Yahoo Japan http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r22679441

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.
