Hi guys,

rsdeo : Norbie put us on to your post on CelicaSupra.com a while ago as well. Good reading and pics. One thing though, when you have Jim's BBK, why aren't you using it ?

The front custom bracket that I am making is quite simple, and the caliper and disc 'fill' the wheel centre rather than looking like a small bread plate. But still good for people with small wheels.

Anyway, yet another quick update.

With the 300ZX rear calipers, I need a 19mm spacer to clear the internal wheel bolts on my 3 piece rims, but it looks like I can get some longer studs (30mm longer than std) from Stewart Wilkins Motorsport that will do the job nicely, so I will buy some of them and see how I go.

The rear drum showes being as weorn as they are is also a hlep, as then I will have to do minimal surgery to the shoes in order for them to fit. Next stop is to get some brackets made and mount a stub in the swingarm and get serious.

Frank, I'll send some more pics when I download them.

Cheers

Michael B

Michael I decided to do some reading here after you posted on CSForums. I wish Norbie had mentioned you were working on this, but no big deal. I ended up joining this forum to throw some ideas around and learn.

Yes I have the JK BBK and is really sweet, but I'm just doing this for fun pure and simple. To give back to the community and help those that can't afford the JK BBK. Someone already said they want my Z32 parts and conversion parts. So they won't go to waste.

Once completed I'll post the dimensions and part lists of everything I make or buy so anyone can do it themselves. I decided to post some pics here also to give others an idea of what I've been doing.

You may consider using an adapter instead of a thick spacer. If you didn't know those 17" wheels I'm using were 16" wheels that I changed the inner and outer hoop to myself. The only thing was the offset was too posative for me to use so I got some adapters with the same bolt pattern. Just bolt on the adapters to your hubs and bolt the wheels to the adapters. May be a lot stronger.

I'll email you later to discuss this conversion and the other thing we were talking about.

Keep us posted on your findings. Very interesting reading.

Thanks.
