Brake and rear suspension mods

[J Markusic]

I have been working away on my 2000 and thought some of what I have done may be of interest to others. The car came with 240Z front calipers which add brake area and I have installed 240ZX rear calipers with special brackets. The rear suspension now has four links and a rotating rear axile to avoid binding. If there is any interest, let me know and I can provide some pictures and info. Also, has anybody else used a Megaspquirt on a 2000? I'm still trying to figure out the best injectors, but have modified an old set of carbs as throttle bodies. Thanks.

I'd love to see some shots of the front brakes, rear brakes, and the suspension!

Ya, mods like this are always interesting!

I'm sure Steve would be glad to post the pics and details...TR

J,

I will soon install the Megasquirt'n'Edis on a Stroker. Built a plenum type manifold with a Ford Topaz throttle body. Using '98 Zetec 2L injectors @ 17lbs/hr.
You should be good with 19-24 lb/hr injectors (better a little large than too small, but don't go too big).

I am just installing the new R series stroker motor/240SX tranny, and will break it in on carbs (running the Edis ignition -writeup coming soon) then switch over to Megasquirt. Hopefully late Sept. early October I will be into EFI tuning.

Good to hear someone else is giving it a shot!

By the way, do you mean 280ZX rear brakes?

I have a freind up north who would love to see the pictures of your suspension mods. He's been planning a four link for a while but was looking for some pictures to fine tune his plans.

Cheers

Yes, please send me a write-up and some pictures so we can share with others what you have done. I too would like to see the mods.

First, to correct alittle brain fade - the rear calipers are 240SX. Actual really the same as 200 models but newer. I was going that route (see the brake conversion already on thisa site, but couldn't find a donor car.) I will get info together with pics and get them out there. Thanks for your replies and interest. The front brakes were done before I got the car - I will provide info on who did it with the pics. The brackets may be available.

I finally ended up with a new computer and internet provider so now maybe I can get the information and pictures I promised to this site.

I've got an entire 4age Toyota fuel injection setup in a bucket. I was going to try and use the parts for a megasquirt or maybe use the whole Toyota computer and everything. I was going to figure out how to use the Toyota distrubutor by grafting it to a roadster distributor. I found several neat things for other options. I found some screw-in injector bungs that would fit the smog ports on the SU or Solex manifolds. I also found some fairly cheap individual throttle bodies. I can post links if anybody is interested. I also have the Toyota system with variable intake runners for sale.
