310Z

This is a great solution. I have been trying to find something and/or someway to mount my phone and have not been satisfied with other set ups. I had narrowed it down to the same location for placement but had not gone as far as you have with design. I love your idea and will be doing something similar.

More information please? Car looks like it has been kept in nice shape? What kind of milage dos it have? Automatic trans or manual trans? Appears completely stock?

Today 11-11-23 at Sonoma Race Way in General Parking Lot I saw and photographed a silver 05 LGT with 18 inches Enkei‘s . I also saw and photographed a 2.5 XT black with a bike rack on the back and a personal license plate. Mine was black LGT in the same parking lot that you probably walked by on your way down the hill. It still has Oregon plates on it .

My son and I are driving the LGT to Sanoma Race Way to watch the Historic races, walk the pits and drool on the amazing hardware.

I am using the White Line end links that came in the kit. They are adjustable. I made them as short as I could. I did not do any research on the end links specifically just the bars 22 mm front and 20 mm rear bars. But I am happy with what I got. In 100,000 miles I will have better knowledge. I did the Anderson Design & Fabrication (ADF) bracket reinforcement. The bracket is very simple and well made/engineered and looks like it will fix this weak spot. After finding a location that's web page showed the AVO brace/bracket they contacted me and informed me it is no longer available. The AVO bracket is still shown on the Japan AVO site. The White Line kit came with new bushings. The tires I have is what came on the car and I am very impressed with them so far in dry conditions. The tires are Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus, in a stock size 215-45-17. They are a ultra high performance A/S. The Tire Rack rates this in the top 2 ultra high performance A/S. However, I am in snow country and I usually run a ice/snow tire Blizzacks or X-Ice but I was thinking of one tire for this car and was considering BFG G-Force Comp 2 A/S Plus, as it is rated much better in the snow than the Continental's and we run them on my wife's Honda Pilot in the summer and have ran into snow with them and they are really good in snow for an A/S.

I installed a sway bar kit from White Line including end links yesterday 10-4-23. Just came back from a short mountain road test. The car no longer dipped and swayed entering and exiting turns. From the drivers seat the car seems much more level while under corner load. This set up is very confidence inspiring and not harsh. The car still rides as stock until pushed in the turns and then it is smooth and stable. I am very happy with this change.

It's not in your location. It was a garage queen all of its life. It spent most of it's life in the hills outside CAs Bay Area and then the last few in Medford OR.

I worked hard yesterday so I am catching up today for yesterday. I removed the stock sway bars front and rear and installed a new set of White Line bars and end links. In the rear I also installed a brace to strengthen the stock bracket. I spent weeks looking for the bracket and found that all of the companies that made the brackets no longer make them. But what I found is a very simplistic design that appears to add the needed strength. A company in Sandy OR that fabricates stuff for off-road Subaru's' designed and still sells the rear bracket brace and I received it in 3 days. The company is Anderson Design & Fabrication (ADF). Ride does not appear any different on straight roads. Cornering comes with more confidence as I have no on road photos of before and after in corners showing the amount of body roll reduction. Today I installed a new set of rear hatch struts as the hatch back was working fine until it was cold in the mornings and then they would not hold the hatch up.

That is a substantial weight loss, more than the driver not ingesting a cheese burger before getting into the car. How much did losing 34 pounds set you back? What is the life expectancy of this battery? I have had friends use the small lightweight batteries on their dirt bikes and they love them until they wont take a jump and you are in the middle of nowhere and then they won't even kick start. I don't know why the bikes wont kick start or tow start.

That is interesting I could see this technique having an effect on a more accurate reading. The Subaru reads just like my Tundra.

Yesterday I had a set of front and rear White Line sway bars with end links delivered, Stop Tech DOT braided steel lines delivered and a set of EBC Yellow Stuff pads (DP41584R Rear pads, DP41661R Front pads) delivered. Today I went about installing them. I started at the right rear and soon found out that these rear pads do not fit. On the box it says for Outback 2003 and up. The fit finder at Summit said it also fits my 2005 LGT. So I went ahead and installed the the braided lines on the rear. As I moved to the front I found the same issue, the pads do not fit. The box says it fits Baja 2002 and up along with Forester 2003 and up. Again Summit's fit finder says it also fits my 2005 LGT . So again I installed the braided lines to the front. Then my daughter helped me bleed the brakes with Motul RPF 600 fluid. As I stated a few days ago I had found a an ASV rear sway bar reinforcement. Yesterday I was informed the part is no longer available. I returned to searching and found ADF Anderson Design and Fabrication they make Subaru off-road stuff and that includes a rear sway bar reinforcement. I will report how that turns out.

The LGT WOW what a fun car to drive. I made a trip down my favorite mountain road yesterday with my wife. As I passed a car on a two lane my wife looked over and said "OH my gosh this car is fast and sooo smooth, I would not have known". And that will be the end of that story. But as a driver this is a comfortable fun drive with a good HP to weight ratio. As we ran into traffic approaching our destination I saw in the mirror a friend going to the same event. My wife called her and told her we were one car in front of her. She responded I don't see your truck. We told her we were in the little black car. She said the station wagon? We responded YES this car is fun and such a sleeper.

I have a friend that a month ago came home with a 260Z that had the best rust free body I have seen in a really long time for $1000. It was picked up on a trailer as it needed a lot of TLC but a Z for $1000 is unheard of there days. Nothing wrong with a 510 I think they may be harder to find than a Z. The 4 does not sound as nice as the 6 but still a awesome car as race history proves

No, A Fairlady would be a Japaneses market right hand drive version. Although my good friend Steve Pettersen of Pettersen Motor-works recently finished a multi year build on a Fairlady for His client that will start showing up at shows, the same guy that shows up with a real 432Z. As for the 67.5 Roadster in the picture that is a Mike Young built car at the Shasta Roadster show. All of Mike Young's cars are built one at a time to factory show room specs. In this cars case it has era specific after market wheels.

The second link is the style I purchased but not the same color. The color (natural/black) I purchased is no longer showing on the site.

Thank you! I am the second owner of the Z and I have owned it since 1987. It also was a woman owned and garage kept car. The Z started life as an auto transmission orange colored car purchased in Roseville CA. As the car sits with a full tank of fuel it weighs just under 2200 lbs and that includes 90 lbs of sound deadening and 90 lbs of amps and subs. The L6 has 10.2 :1 CR and when at low elevation likes a healthy diet of over 100 octane fuel, it makes in the area of 300 hp fed through a 9.5 lb flywheel to those ultra light wheels. Acceleration is fairly impressive and the sound of that straight 6 sucking air through through those Weber's to the Borla exhaust is only out done by a flat or V 12.

Well, today was a little slower for me as I have been working on my GT almost non-stop since picking it up 17 days ago. Some of my work is listed on my New To the forum page. However, today I needed to find out if the clutch feel is just going to be inconsistent or if it just needed a good bleed job. Turns out the fluid was old dark and had air in it. I bled the system more times than I thought I should and it resulted in more air coming out of the system. Now the pedal is consistent. My wife and I will take it for a few hundred mile mountain road drive tomorrow while I wait to see what parts show up next.

I am still deciding on the Cobb cold air. I have the end links arriving as a package with the bars. It appears that there are two sets of Bilstein struts B6 & B8? Is one considered the Spec -B? Do you do pinks all around even with the wagon?

Here is my version of a classic Datsun 240 Z, The best of the old and the best of the new. BODY WORK: bare metal restomod, front fenders rolled, rears grounded down to spot welds, side marker lights removed, front fender and headlight bucket blended, rear roll pan blended, NOS head light covers, Japaneses fender mirrors place on doors, BRE rear carbon fiber spoiler, carbon fiber bumpers, Auto Power 4 point roll bar DRIVE LINE: Transmission 83 close ratio 5- speed, R-200 limited slip 3:70 with Nissan comp finned cover, Arizona Z car Billet rear hanger, Left half shaft shortened 3/4 inch, Front brakes Toyota 4 Runner 4 piston caliper conversion, rear brakes disk Nissan 240 sx. WHEELS: 16x8 - 0 offset, 11.5 lbs BBS magnesium center race wheels never sold to the public and built in the first 3 years BBS was in business. The wheels originally a 4 lug pattern had another 4 bolt pattern added to them to fit a Z prior to me obtaining them. According to BBS America this is the only set known to exist in America and possible anywhere. MOTOR: Nissan L6 N42 block from 280ZX bored and stroked to 3100cc with Diesel Maxima crank 89 mm pistons, E 31 head wit extensive work, Robello Cam, Tripple 45 Webers, 125 amp alternator from Nissan Maxima, Pace setter 3 into 2 header with 18 inch custom collector 2.5 inch pipe to resonator with Borla muffler and 45 degree slash tip as seen on original 240Zs INTERIOR: Carbon fiber weave looking upholstery, Recaro seats with a black tweed cloth and Simpson 4 point harnesses, MOMO steering wheel, shift knob lever shortened 2.5 inches, wide pedals, Polk MOMO carbon series stereo 1800 watts

I have done some searching and I came up without an answer. I would like to bleed the clutch line. I understand the slave cylinder is on top of the bell housing and that appears to be where the line goes as I can not see or feel it. I understand how to bleed although it sounds like this system has it's own issues. What I would like to know is it appears you need to remove the inter-cooler to get to the clutch slave cylinder? In doing so are there O- rings, gaskets or things that I am going to need to destroy and replace in the process of removing the inter-cooler?

After three weeks of searching for bracket reinforcements for the rear sway bar I found that Speed-zone Performance carries the AVO support and I made the purchase. I will post how the installation goes when all the parts arrive. As Subaru for got to finish off the interior with the proper peddles, I also have a set of Momo wide peddles on order to go with the Momo steering wheel and shift knob from the factory. I have the same Momo wide peddles in my Z and they make for good heel/toe shifting.

So, I will try posting here and I will add to my first post. Hi all, I have been gathering information on this site for about a week, post a new to me purchase. I have spent about a month looking for knowledge after finding out that I would be acquiring a Subaru. This appears to be the best source of information I have found. Thank You to all who have contributed over the years. Though I am not new to cars as my name (310Z) is for my Datsun 240Z bored stroked to a 3100cc with tipple Weber's (this list is lengthy) I am new Subaru's. Last week (10-10-23) I picked up my wife's best friends Mom's 2005 Legacy GT Limited 5-MT Black on Black Wagon California EJ259 garage kept 44,000 mile car in beautiful condition. I saw the car when new and have not seen it until last year 2022 at which point my 18 year old son said "I want that car". A year later the owner said she wanted us to have it also. I have use information I have gained here and other sites to guide my plans for this car. My plans for the car are to make a more competent daily driver for my wife, son, and me. We live in the mountains, drive mountain roads in all conditions. I have an Supercharged Toyota Tundra for off road so the wagon is not for the dirt. It will be an on road car only but not slammed as I said we live in snow country. Stock height will be fine although I know with a spring change it will probably become lower. Thinking about the Bilstein struts but what springs? I have already spent 48 hours buffing and polishing water spots, under the hood, and interior. Although the car spent most of it's 18 years in a garage it probably never got wiped down after a rain storm. I was being cautious as not to leave marks in the black paint while buffing. I replaced the banjo bolt feeding the turbo a few days ago and all looked good. Then I did the water hose addition to cylinder head at #4 cylinder. Changed the oil with Mobil 1 5w-30 and added a quick drain along with a Wix XP 51356XP filter that is one inch longer than the stock Subaru filter adding some more filtering and oil capacity. I just installed a Cobb Stage 1 tune with cold air intake last night and that woke things up nicely. I have DOT approved steel braided brake lines on the way and thinking about EBC Yellow brake pads. I would not mind a set of Brembos but I am going to see how well I can improve the stock set up as the front rotors are large. I have a set of White Line 22 mm front and 20 mm rear sway bars on the way. If any one knows where I can get a kit to strengthen the rear sway bar mounts pleas let me know. The car came with a nice set of Continentals DWS s so I am going to use them for now. However I have plans to pick up a set of Enkei RPF1 in 17x8 with 225-45-18 or 18x8 with 225-40-18. This is not my favorite wheel but I am going for performance and lite is where it is at. My Z has 11.5 lbs 16x8, 3 piece BBS magnesium race wheel. Lite wheels is where it is at. I love the sleeper appearance of the wagon and improving the handling just puts it in a deeper sleep. Here are some pictures from today.

Thank you. This forum is the closest thing I could find to a new members forum. If there is a new members forum as a site should have please point me in that direction but I could not find it.
