  1. cool. lol. yeah i figured it had nothing to do with suspension. but if it is what you say it could be, where would it bolt up to and what wire connects to it. i have a couple misc. wires floating around.

  2. lost!!! and found!!! doing some cleaning of dirt off my crossmember area and found this lil jewel. i dont know what it goes to. it seemed to be chillin hiding out this whole time on top of the crossmember. any clues to my find. it says NEW ERA on it.

  3. i am in serious need of a car. my 411 just seems to keep throwing curve balls at me. ive been stranded without a car for 3 months, thinkng my 411 would be driveable like the seller said it was. shhheeeeeiiiiiittttt. not in its condition. im NEVER giving up on it. just need a car so i can actually get around places. like to get a 510. since its the bigger version of the 411. i would be willing to put drop 1500$ on a good running DRIVEABLE one. any offers. my life depends on it. lol.

  4. well the control arm/ sway bar looks good. its the bent peice in the pic is my issue. and also the u shapped bracket the holds it to the frame. if i bend both back to form its just gonna weaken more.

  5. after doing a well needed cleaning to the front bottom of my car i realized my control arm is off the bracket it sits in on the right side. a lil investigation lead to me finding that the rod connecting the control arm and A arm is bent

    and the bracket for the A arm

    upon trying to take the bolt out for the U shaped bracket for control arm i snapped the head off :( DAMN RUST.

  6. I believe that somewhere in San Bernardino you can find a shop with a "Grizzly Grinder" machine. It resurfaces the disc without removing them from the car.

     

    my only problem is i cant seem to get my brake caliper cylinder to open "or close in my case" to fit the pads in. i flushed the lines, well front atleast and replaced with new fluid. but im not a mechanic so im not sure what to look for. it rather frustrating in my case not having all the right tools. its not as easy as my other car was lol. damn it. not to sure where the brake fluid i put in is coming from the brake pedal area itself. master cylinder could be leaking. ugghhh. got a service book on its way. ill stay up for days reading it when it gets here.

  7. project for today. get my brakes going. flush lines and add new fluid to all four corners. and new pads for front. only problem is my rotors look like crap.

    my mission in about 2 hours.

  8. im looking for the whole rebuild book. top to bottom. if im restoring my car and keeping everything the way it is for awhile i wanna do it right and make sure everything is put back in the right spot you know. my bro has a chilton book for his car that covers every inch of the car, from wiring to the rubber used to seal the floor. i want that book for my datsun but they dont make it nor does haynes. :(
