btlegacy Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Hey guys, i'm back. All projects were put on hold for a little while as I got married in June. I also bought a DD that needed some work so I spent some time on that. We are back in the shop now and proceeding with work. Just so I didn't come back empty handed here is a small update. The pictures below show the following. LGT OEM Rear Brake Dust Shield 300ZX NA Bearing Housing 300ZX 5x114.3 Hub 300ZX Turbo Rear Rotor LGT OEM Rear Caliper and Pads 18x10 5x114.3 +22 FR500 Wheels This image shows the 300ZX Bearing housing and LGT Dust shield. The red marks are where the bolt holes had to be slightly shaved http://imageshack.us/a/img19/3993/wun9.jpg Everything mounted up on the spindle. All 4 bolts fit after the slight shave but only 2 are in there as its just a test fit. http://imageshack.us/a/img507/573/07yy.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img594/9707/r5gq.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img546/2120/3u61.jpg 300ZX Rotor Mounted http://imageshack.us/a/img827/9968/y4uk.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img690/6830/70d1.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img38/5927/rva5.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img694/6272/5yrh.jpg Brake Caliper and Pads mounted, Only the top bolt of the caliper bracket is threaded in. Will have to modify the bottom mounting point to bring the caliper bracket out as the 300ZX rotor is about 8mm bigget than the LGT rotor http://imageshack.us/a/img33/5931/of6h.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img853/2096/92xt.jpg And for the grand finale, the 18x10 wheel mounted http://imageshack.us/a/img5/4637/os64.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img23/4507/8huj.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img829/7325/azak.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img692/1408/m3on.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img17/8017/3dvv.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img823/9576/ci9t.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img835/9189/i989.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img203/7154/9ot9.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img577/9752/u4vi.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img203/8344/sb5r.jpg 2005 Legacy GT 5MT Buy my stuff Here So I can build my 6.0L V8 Legacy GT Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btlegacy Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 The rear fenders will be cut significantly and flares installed similar to this build http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/crazys-05-legacy-gt-build-197996.html The front will be getting 18x9's and should only need a rolling of the fender 2005 Legacy GT 5MT Buy my stuff Here So I can build my 6.0L V8 Legacy GT Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ispeed Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Have you picked out what flares you are going with? I can't wait to see this in action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btlegacy Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 I may use the 240 flares that the others have used to save time now but the end goal is to weld in some nice flares and smooth them out so they flow with the car 2005 Legacy GT 5MT Buy my stuff Here So I can build my 6.0L V8 Legacy GT Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank_ster Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 some thing strong some thing that will fit i'm thinking mustang cobra diff Now that's thinking out of the boxer! fyi all 05 + legacy's have built in code reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btlegacy Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 The ford 8.8 rear end is very stout. I believe they come in a 3.27 ratio in the cobra mustang but 3.23 may be available. If you go the R200 route as me, your closest ratio is going to be a 3.3 from 350z/g35 2005 Legacy GT 5MT Buy my stuff Here So I can build my 6.0L V8 Legacy GT Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btlegacy Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 That makes sense. You can buy pretty much any ratio for the domestic diffs 2005 Legacy GT 5MT Buy my stuff Here So I can build my 6.0L V8 Legacy GT Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClimberDHexMods Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I'm going to get flack for this, but please don't do a solid rear axle setup. The LGT is really nice as an IRS car, and some of that will certainly be lost going solid rear. Plenty of people have figured out how to not break things on a powerful R160 rear.

chimaira4deth Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I hope the guy is allright. I mean he has been super active with posting about it, until the driveshaft part. Seems like that's all it needs is a custom driveshaft made to fit. Either money or family emergency haulted progress I'm assuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
