Its a tad tall, but aside from that the fitment is almost perfect in terms of being flush with the body. Lower profile tires will fix all that. But i'm kinda thinking we'll just leave it as is till the tires are shot.

It was a nightmare to change over tho. You need to use the Nissan lug nuts on those wheels, and Nissan has a different thread pitch on their studs. So we actually ended up finding some 280zx studs at canadian tire and swapped out all the Mazda studs with the nissan studs.

oh and to get the rear studs off your supposed to pull the rear hub assemblies apart. I "engineered" it to get around that however. It turned out to be a 18 hour job by the end of the whole mess. But it works!

We'll see how it goes :rolleyes:

That's a lot of work for a wheel swap.

18 hour job..... for wheels... :eek:

Yeah it was one of those jobs that once you realized how much work it was going to take it was to long to turn around and stop what you started.

It was a good weekend of wrenching on the cars tho :) I really wouldn't have wanted to spend it any other way.

Some unfiled pictures from last years trip down to Montana.

Awesome build man.

How do you compare the 370z to the rx7 in terms of enjoyability?
I've been thinking for a while to sell my z to get an rx7. My dream car :P

Thanks man,

They are really in 2 different classes. The RX is an awesome fun car to drive, but its not one that you really want to take on long road trips. The Z is also fun to drive and take on long trips.

The RX is nice, but id never trade the luxury you get while your in the Z. As nice as it is you will miss the interior of the Z. The RX is a very raw car when compared to the Z.

Both are amazing tho in their own ways!

Do you have a build thread for your RX? I was checking their forum and they seem to bash VQ engine saying it's "meh"

Its actually the Mrs. car that she built herself. I dont think she ever took the time to put together any sort of build thread for it. It is almost completely stock, its got a Apexi Power FC, and coils. It is a very nice car.

... it used to be red..... lol

So, you, me, Ed and Lee all have the TWM shifter now, lol.... look what you started!

Its a great shifter, minus the rattle I still have to track down. I think its a product of keeping my stock knob. I just dont like any of the looks of any of the other shift knobs out there. The stock one is just comfy and otherwise perfect. I also got you started on Plasti-Dip I hear :rolleyes:.

This is what the garage currently looks like as we wait for yet another damn snowfall to melt and for it to get nice out yet again.

It does feel nice having both cars back home after storage, thats for sure. We just need more room. Between the both of us we have 4 vehicles and only a 2 bay garage. That'll have to change next year i'm thinking.

I am currently looking at garage options myself....

I probably can't even open my doors in my garage. Just bought a new house in November.

The next place we purchase will be just outside city limits somewhere. Its one thing to have a small garage like this, its another not to have a driveway up to it. But at the time I was buying it was the best I could afford and you have to admit its a fair size garage for a townhouse.

What you mean you cant open the doors in your garage? haha
