Ed's 521 Work in Progress

[nismo dr]

Went back to the 14''s, these will do me much better till i can different 15"S for the disks. Hainz was so right, so much more driveable & they do look so much better in the wheel wells, just need some paint now

man, those look pretty good on yer truck!

 

Its nice parking it at home isnt it? no more driving to work on it :D

[banzai510(hainz)]

After my tires wear out on my Pathfinders Im going to go stock rims painted white with the stock chrome hup/center caps with 185/75/14 whitewalls.

Put fender mirrors on, they don't look that bad for being the $19.99 ones from thailand on egay.

they love just sitting and playing back there while i'm working on it. win

[nismo dr]

So, I like every Datto I've seen with bumper fog's, I scored these piaa's butI'm not feeling it tho, whatcha all think? Pretty sure I'm going to take them off

 

 

I might try moving them outboard, but I was trying to use existing holes to make sure I liked them.

[izzo]

got photos of this carb.???just read this, buy a Spanish weber

http://corvaircenter.com/phorum/read.php?1,78662

 

soemtimes the cable has to be perfect so it can stretch back as when putting a weber on using ht stock cable guide mount he cable might be slightly off alignment.

 

a have a LIGHT I mean Light external retrun spring to help the carb return to zero but most stock carbs have this already of soem sort on the 521s

[nismo dr]

my dad bought the carb when I was out of town, i had talked to the people where he got it from and they knew i had been pricing out webers and they still sold him the empi. pisses me off to no end, have had nothing but problems with it. I read on one forum than 1 in 3 is fucked out of the box. Going to go pound my fist tonight and see what they are going to "warranty" this time.

 

I have a nice lokar throttle cable that works perfect. the throttle hangs with cable disconnected, levers off etc. the prob is definately in the carb itself.

kick em in the nuts dood :D

[dennis]

sorry to hear you pain on the empi, I was thinking for a second on one when I was shopping for a DGEV but decided to spend the extra 40.00 for the Weber.

[nismo dr]

did some trading with Tim (h2theizzo), got some tuneage now, speakers/tweets/crossovers for those piaa's

Got my seat belts today. A must so I can take the kids with me.

 

 

dark blue, aircraft style latches

dont know if this is a dumb ? but where did you get your seatbelts at? i want to put some in my 521 so my kids can ride along too.

[nismo dr]

I had ordered them from here

but they were out of stock on the dark blue so I ended up getting them from here

virtually the same prices (probably the same manufacturer)

 

 

very happy with the quality

[Lude944]

[nismo dr]

tach, oil pressure, volt, and temp gauges

[DISLEXICDIME]

sweet come get a transmission

[raggmann]

New studs

 

Where did you get the studs? Any chance you've got a part number?

I've been searching up here and can't find anything longer.

The wheels I want to run are thick and the bolt holes are larger-like 1/2"ish.

I'll have to search and see if I still have the box in the garage for the part#, they are dormans from carquest tho. Had to grind the flat spot for them to fit.

 

In the faq's in general, there are the nismo part #s but they are like $80 an axle, these still weren't cheap it was about $70 for all 24
