If the layshaft is built correctly tightening up the adjuster nut can't affect the position of the pulleys or front belt. All it should do is push the aluminium disk against the side of the front one way on the outside of the gearbox. Any grease on the disk will prevent it grabbing against the side of the one way. If the pulley is moving over then it isn't shimmed correctly against the bearing.

Not much point on a ZX-R. The reverse one way will only work if you have the ZX centre ball diff and even then all it will do is most of the braking will be done by the front wheels.

I have a NIP set of LA-26 arms however these are the early type with the extra webbing. Are these exclusive to the original ZX and are they better/worse than the other style?

I found the webbed zx wishbones to be stronger, mind you breaking the zxr ones is almost impossible, but i have broken one.

As Terry said, i think you havent built your layshaft correctly as thats the only thing that could cause this. Is the e clip fitted? Or is the one way faulty ( you can test by removing the pulley and put one way back on the layshaft and turn both ways).

Out of curiosity did you have a roll bar fitted as well?

I can check again but I rebuilt it, carefully checking step by step if everything was fitted like on the manual. Every shim, e-clip, pulley and bearing is there, fitted...
The One way works, but I didn't grease or oil it. Maybe I didn't fit the upper tray properly? The rubbing is very slight anyway and there is no sign of wear on the belt. :-)
So the reverse one way isn't recommended? ok

We want proof ...snap some pics ....:lol:

Reverse Hub means you will have no rear brakes at all.

Ive had the same one way issue as you and one issue was the e clip came lose and the other was due to the bearing i used instead of the thrust bearing between the pulleys. Sometimes you need to improvise as i find having zero slop left and right on the layshaft (almost zero) saves the belt. I used to use a hyper clutch with a bearing in the early 90's in between the pulleys and took the e clip out and made a difference but using the mk1 layshaft and zx i found the thrust bearing better.

The one way when the layshafts fitted correctly when tightend takes the one way option away. I prefered a lock nut rather than the kyosho allen key nut as the thread lock screwed on backwards did a better job. Im now intreagued as the only other option is the bearing surrounding the oneway or hub has collapsed giving far too much slop.

Would this be the right place to post a wants list of parts I need for my new Lazer project?

Thanks for the tips guys!

About the sway bars, I believe you're talking about the LAW-2. I fancy them but can't find some anywhere. I guess I could make custom ones but I really would like the LAW-2... :drool: Anyway, car is cleaned and back on shelf. :)

I think you can't find a better place to do so......:)

Is there a better place for posting wanted lazer parts ??:lol:

dozy question, are the hexes on the Ujs 12mm or 14mm?

12

mvh isobarik

Im tempted to buy a set of the 14mm hexes Xray are making for their new 4wd buggy and also a set of their wheels and see if they work out the same width overall as the Annsman wheels I am currently using. The 4wd Xray wheels look rather nice.

or just use the cat2k wheels since they are also 14 and offset should be more accurate

mvh isobarik

If I want to use ceramic diff balls do I need the WBD-10 or is there another option out there?

if im not misstaken they are 3/32 the zxr uses 3mm from factory but can take 1/8.

mvh Isobarik

Hey Oosh... that's so sexy that I really want to see the car in a entire pic! Could you do that pleeeease?:drool::cry:

Oosh123 what pivot blocks are they?

I am pretty sure they are the pargu ones but I could be wrong

Those are the ones oosh designed ...so one ca adjust the toe in a...

mvh isobarik

I guess I was wrong! Whats the verdict on the pargu ones? I recently got some unknown aluminium ones which look OK but the one behind the front gearbox is bent on one side and not sure if I can save it. The one behind the rear gearbox looks like it might place the shaft closer to the chassis than the standard ones

Pics please of your pivot blocks.

My pivot blocks in cf at the very front and very rear are sorted, now currently redesigning the one behind the motor and once done the one behind the front gearbox. I broke that one last night and snapped a cf wishbone. Still test was good and car is getting faster and faster. I reckon once ive got the setup right and im not far off then watch out.

There is a pic of them attached in the last email I sent you
The ones behind the front gearbox and infront of the rear gearbox are just a square block with the correct holes on them, I am pretty sure they are identical to the ones on the Lazer tub build up that was on RC10-Talk a little while ago

Ok so these are the parts I need if anyone can help, I would prefer them new but would consider near new used parts especially for the rarer items

39655 blue steering parts
two of the short suspension shafts(I have a complete set missing two short ones)
UMW-1
LA-23
LA-31 (though I only need the rear shock tower mount from this parts set)
LA-32
Bearings for la-112 belt tensioners (3x6 I believe)
3x6 flanged bearing for the steering plate (I think this is the correct size?)

Daniel,

You have an email mate :cool:

Thanks to Oli the list is a little shorter however I am still in need of the following parts; LA-10 LA-23, LA-31, bearings for the LA-112 set and bearings for the steering plate where it attaches to the bellcranks

did anyone on here win the lazer parts collection on ebay last week ??

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Ky...p2047675.l2557

if yes would you be willing to part with the TM-4,

battery holder for zx sport

Not me Ron, I was close....:cry:

lol, so was i, i had £100 typed in on my mobile and about £52.50 on my pc,
pressed bid on pc got outbid, pressed bid on mobile, just missed it :mad:

What the heck is the la-23 ???

The Saver Shaft Set

Looking at them I think they might just be Lazer ZX5 FS blocks (unless Oosh has machined his own), the inserts for adjusting toe are definitely from the FS/FS2.

I think he machined them and they look superb.

Yeah he machined them .

Is the white front gear case on this Lazer a custom part or something that was available back in the day?

dont know here but i have one on one of my lazers

Just wanted to share.. Almost homemade front shock towers - waterjet cut, holes drilled on a drill press. Not very pro, but it'll allow me to use the car a little bit.

Also, odd detail: the version of the shock tower that came in the kit is slightly thicker and made from a different material than this "LA-06B" replacement:

What screw type is best for fastening plastic gearbox cases to a chassis and shock towers toolastic parts. Self tappers as per the original kit or regular metric thread as per what screws into metal parts. I can't find any hex head self tappers.

I may have a few bags of NIP LA-23. lemme go home and check.
