lynchfourtwenty Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 HOLY SHIT! MORE PICS PLZ! these guys dont fuck around, every thread i see of them restoring a car is always amazing!! Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 When can I come see it in person? Looking at the pics of the bent suspension, imagine what the car would look like if the LCA hadn't bent like that... Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Here are a few pics. We are almost done. Soon!!! 30min rust repair :blink: The only thing Hainz didn't want us to spruce up was the wiring... We maxed out the caster :D Quote Link to comment
datto510 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Alright! Almost back from the dead! Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 It's actually closer it just got late and I forgot to take pics. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 We maxed out the caster :D what is that tool and whats it do? Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 HAHA I should have taken a picture of the other side, it has a digital read out. It measures degrees. I'm not exactly sure how to use it but I know how to make each side the same haha :D Quote Link to comment

Pedro Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 This car / story should be featured in a magazine, or at least the dimequarterly. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Its the "original" Rising Sun hood.... which some now think is a fad Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Ice....how does the caster/chamber gauge attach to the rims? Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Ice....how does the caster/chamber gauge attach to the rims? i know you asked him, but i did some searching online. Good powered magnets :D Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 i know you asked him, but i did some searching online. Good powered magnets :D What about aluminum...... Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 What about aluminum...... not really sure? I am just going off what i saw. After asking him what the tool was i googled around on Digital caster/camber and hit some good stuff. but a little to much $ for me Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Hmm maybe not, something on it was magnetic tho. guess well have to wait for icehouse to get a correct answer Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 What about aluminum...... the shop that does my alignments has an expanding center that is cranked tight againt the wheel lip. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) Jeff !!!!!!!!!!!!! you hook up those wires right????????? thats NOT it!!!!!!!!!!! Ratsun? Now I got to spray can the whole section!!!!!!!!!!! Edited May 12, 2009 by banzai510(hainz) Quote Link to comment
boomstickracing Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 can't wait to see it finished.........the guru of all things datsun deserves to keep his baby :D all you ratsuners that are helping with this.....you rock :cool: Quote Link to comment
pl521sss Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Jeff !!!!!!!!!!!!!you hook up those wires right????????? thats NOT it!!!!!!!!!!! Ratsun? Now I got to spray can the whole section!!!!!!!!!!! Never noticed till now that you need 2 ballast resistor to get that high of resistance for that coil with Pertronix. Have no idea how all 3 of my Pertonix ignition survived and still working If I don't use ballast resistor. I use the Nissan 12V coils Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Pl521sss an ACCEL SUPER COIL(.7ohms) is half the reisitance value of the stock coil(1.6 ohms). . So I added the spare ballast that come in the SUPER COIL kit of .85 ohms and added it in series with the stock ballast. So this is close to what was orginally in the car. Plus the Pertronix wants under 4 amps current per the instructions.Otherwise the Module could get HOT and POP. Pertronix makes a 3 ohm coil just for that to keep the current down and get rid of the ballast resisitor. 12volt/3 ohms = 4amps Quote Link to comment
Duke Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Pertronix makes a 3 ohm coil just for that to keep the current down and get rid of the ballast resisitor. 12volt/3 ohms = 4amps You can also use a Bosch "blue" coil which has an internal ballast resistor. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 You can also use a Bosch "blue" coil which has an internal ballast resistor. I'm sure he would if they made a HUGE yellow one!!! Quote Link to comment

lynchfourtwenty Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 progress? Quote Link to comment
irsa76 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Mate, when I saw you binned it I couldn't belive it, not the grand poobar of ratsuns! But this, this is too much. Man I miss this place. I can't think of too many forums where members would help each other like this. Oh and get your balls checked stat. It could be serious! Quote Link to comment
