Hello people this is my 280ZX Project. The pics shows all the process before, during and after of the car. Im a Automotive Technology Teacher in Mech Tech College here in Puerto Rico. I bring this project to the school to bring the students a live car project and a new experience to all of them. This project was a commutative one because it was made by 2 groups Day( all the engine, brakes and start up) Night( all the electronics and wiring, ECU,Lights,). Im very proud of my students and with this project that they call it "The Hankook" because the direction of the College thinks that the project will not be a success and they prove to them that theres nothing impossible if we work with a horizon and proud.

The project right now is at my house waiting for the paint job and other details waiting for the streets. I hope to be done as near as May to be part of a racing event call SSS3( Super Street Shootout 3rd) here in the island.

Thanks for watching

 

Saludos gente este mi proyecto del 280ZX. Las laminas son todo el proceso desde antes de comenzar, durante y luego de terminado todo el transplante a la caja nueva. Soy profesor de Tecnologia Automotriz en Mech Tech College en Puero Rico. Traje este proyecto al colegio para que los estudiantes tuvieran un laboratorio con un carro vivo y vivieran una experiencia diferente. Este proyecto fue uno en equipo ya que trabajaron 2 grupos el de por el Dia9 todo lo referente al motor y los frenos) y el de la Noche( todo lo referente a la electronica, cableria, luces, ECU, etc.) Estoy bien orgulloso de los muchachos y con este proyecto que ellos lo llamaron "El Hankook" ya que la direccion del colegio no queria y no pensaban que hiba a salir corriendo del taller y ellos le demostraron que no hay nada imposible si caminas con un horizonte y orgullo.

El proyecto ahora mismo esta en mi casa esperando por el trabajo de pintura y otro detalles y pa la calle. Espero tenerlo ya para Mayo para ser parte de un evento que llaman el SSS3 Super Street Shootout que es un evento de calle aqui en la isla.

Gracias por observar

Hey, the five lug is bolt on for the most part. The rears are from a 87-89 300zx, you need the stub axle, companion flange and then all the brake stuff. Rotors and calipers. On the front, I swapped in 240sx spindle knuckles and used coilovers for that car. I bought a five lug conversion hub that the 240sx guys use. So basically, 100% bolt on. If you were keeping the stock stuff up front, you could just buy 5 lug adapters and that would work. Later.

Thanks for the comment! That's quite a project you have going on there! Looks like the car has come quite a long way from how it started. Good job to both you and all your students! Can't wait to see it completed and racing in SSS3! 5*s

Nice one you have 5*.
