Dee Posted November 18, 2011 Share #327 Posted November 18, 2011 Put in a clutch master & slave cylinder. The slave cylinder literally fell apart while I was driving. Now if I can just figure out the trick to loosening up the drum pads to change the wheel cylinders then all is good Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/38099-2011-what-did-you-do-towith-your-s30-today/?page=28#findComment-372046 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fandsw Posted November 18, 2011 Share #330 Posted November 18, 2011 Took here to work for the first time, as it was a nice crisp sunny day. Many oohs and aahs were heard as I showed her off during the day.

Ben's Z Posted November 25, 2011 Share #331 Posted November 25, 2011 Went 114MPH on SH 249 between FM 1960 and Louetta on Thanksgiving Day. I was in 5th. I had my foot in the well, I don't think it had anything else left in it, does this seem normal?

Zs-ondabrain Posted November 25, 2011 Share #332 Posted November 25, 2011 All depends on your tire height, diff ratio, what tranny, engine size and mods, cross-winds, weather, altitude. etc, etc.114 MPH is respectable for a stock 280Z. The same motor, trans and diff in a 240Z would bring a higher top speed in a 240Z as they are a little lighter. I've personally done 130 MPH in my 240Z with a rebuilt 2.6, stage 2 cam, 6-into-1 header, 2.5" exhaust and turbo muffler, ZTherapy SU's, 79' 280ZX 5-Speed trans, 3:90 LSD R200 diff, 17"x 9" Rota RB's with 275/40ZR17 Hankooks, etc, etc.Light weight, strong motor, Optimal weather conditions @ 200ft above sea level, etc, makes for great top speeds.

Galaxybj Posted November 25, 2011 Share #333 Posted November 25, 2011 A couple days ago took 30855 to the paint shop. :-) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/38099-2011-what-did-you-do-towith-your-s30-today/?page=28#findComment-372768 Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve91tt Posted November 26, 2011 Share #334 Posted November 26, 2011 Started the process of swapping my stroker motor from my street car to my track car. The stroker is out and stripped to the short block. Lots of cleaning and little details to take care of while the motor is out. I'll miss the wonderful power of the L30 on the street but with a built head and a set of 44s it's going to be a blast on the track.
