What did you do to your dime today?

[r0p0doe]

Changed out my leaking fuel pressure regulator for a pretty much new one I bought off of a member here, works like a charm just need to adjust it and tighten some things.

[edekalil]

Jacked up the rear and put the 8mm spacers on and could not resist to put these on the rear of the car.

[INDY510]

You better not drive with ANY spacers .... unless you get longer lug studs (which are almost impossible to install with rear drum brakes)

[datsunfreak]

Actually, it's really easy.   :rofl:

I'm going to put the other rims back on I just had to see this wheel on the car and make sure the weights would not rub the swing arm and it does not.

With an 8mm spacer I ran the stock studs........theres just enough for a good grab.........

.................................just make sure you torque'em and double check it after the first run..........

I'm running a 1/4 in spacer on my rears, only get like 5-6 full threads but it should be enough... I have lost lug nuts before though.

Built an arduino-based multi-gauge indicator.  So useful for any car, but this one is going to live in my 510.

The general rule of thumb for safety is that you need as many threads engaged as the width of the bolt. So on a 12x1.25 stud (stock), you want at least 12mm of the threads engaged, so 12mm of depth with a 1.25 thread pitch is 9.6 tuns of the lug nut. Any less than that is not "safe". 

 

If you haven't already, swapping to the 10mm longer Nissan Quest rear studs would solve the problem, and still be easy to install (unlike the ARP studs).  :thumbup:

Yes....true.....but we don't always play by the rules......

 

Just sayin'........I ran it like that......checked lug torque periodically.......never had one come loose.....

 

I torqued them to 80lbs........

Slow day today.........spur of the moment paint session.......

I will go seethe partsman at the Nissan dealer here and check out those studs maybe today.

Thanks

[edekalil]

Datsunfreak what year Quest van rear studs so I will know what to ask the parts guy. Also what do you mean when you say ARP studs.

[Dime Dave]

Quest studs are Dorman P/N 610-403, 45.5mm long

 

Stock 510 studs are:

32mm (front)

41.5mm (rear)

 

If you need longer, FutoFab has 60mm @ $3.50/ea

[paradime]

Every time I go into the garage to do my laundry my 510 mocks me in a passive aggressive needy way, so I kicked it.

 

This weekend I'll fix the dent and try and patch things up between us. Having a relationship with an old car is hard work.

Thank you Dave I'll be making another order soon.

. Also what do you mean when you say ARP studs.

 

ARP #100-7708. 

 

 

Pops right into the stock holes, but they are 2.5" long. Then you can usually run up to a 1" spacer in the rear and a 1.25" spacer up front and still have about 15-20mm of thread engagement.    :thumbup:

New gas cap! Nothing special but it fits really well and looks a lot better than the smaller one I had. I'd rather have something with a chrome or stainless handle - maybe I'll find one at the swap meet this weekend.

I do believe I will for sure need some of those for the front of the car that is all apart and will have the 280zx setup on the front from what I have read. Thanks

The ARP studs are 12 x 1.5 thread. That means you'll need lug nuts.

If you're gonna run those Z wheels with 280zx struts you will.........

[datsunfreak]

But, it gets you to a thread pitch with waaaaaaaaay more lug nut options.   ;)

 

As far as I've seen, only Nissan and Subaru use the 12x1.25 pitch. Pretty much every other car company in the world uses 12x1.5.   :thumbup:

Got this fender on today:
