Laecaon Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Oh another oopsies moment. I really shouldnt have, but it was a good deal, and I just like making my motor work well. 38mm SU's with manifold and linkage! Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Surprised about the number of comments regarding the carbs above... Not 100% sure what I am doing with them, and that is because I am not 100% sure what I am doing for the intake. I do know, no weber... Anyways, Went over to America's tires. Said I wanted some Falken 512, he was all like 90 a piece, and that will be 460 installed. I was all like please, check discounttiresdirect, he responds with, 60 a piece, and 360 installed with a warranty. Sold. Also these are 195/50/15 on a 15x7 wheel. So these tires have rim protectors... and well, are the exact same size as my previous tires, look like they have more stretch. Definitely clears everything in the front better... But I have one problem, and noticed as soon a pulled away from the shop. Now on left turns I get a click sound from the front right, almost like the tire is rubbing fender, but its not. I cant find anywhere where the tire is rubbing. And it does it with just changing lanes, varies loudness most by speed, but also a bit from how much the wheel is turned. makes me think, its hub related. That brake rotor always has been a bit warped. Quote Link to comment

Laecaon Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 But I have one problem, and noticed as soon a pulled away from the shop.

And it does it with just changing lanes, varies loudness most by speed, but also a bit from how much the wheel is turned. makes me think, its hub related. That brake rotor always has been a bit warped. And fixed. Jacked the car up, looked for any signs of rubbing. Couldnt find anything. And then I saw it. Rub marks on the new tire weight! But what was the tire weight hitting? The tie rod. I guess the real fix to this issue would be new tie rods. In time. What was happening? Well as I turned left, the right wheel of course was always trying to return to straight. But the tie rod was their stopping it. But where was the flex coming from that only allowed the weight to hit while turning? The tie rod! it is quite old and at this point very wobbly. So I called up the shop, told them what was going on, and they said to come on by. And that is what I did. They just had me pull straight in. And it was fixed all super fast like! No more odd noise coming from my wheels now! Yay. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 tape weights guys .. .come on are they new guys or something...glad fixed Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 So I dont know what to do... There is a guy trying to buy my weds with pretty fresh tires^ He has offered me $750, and his Konig Rewinds (which I hate but could probably sell) which have 195/70/14s (balloons! and would throw off my speedometer...) If I did this, I could run the konigs until they sell, at which point I would run the enkeis and get new tires for them. Though Enkei 92s are not wheel I want to keep for this car. Really I like the Weds. They are unique, everyone seems to like them. They fit well. but at the same time, I am trying to get another car... very soon... Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Keep the Weds, Sell the Enkeis.Worth it in the long run when you can't find those Weds again or something similar,That also fit as perfect as the Weds now. Quote Link to comment

Laecaon Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Well, I should have a few updates coming up. Ordered a few parts here and there, and working on a few things. Not sure why I havent been working on the door cards. Maybe its because drilling the holes to mount to the door is terrible. I want to make a tool for identifying where I need to put the holes... Anyways, my windshield had started leaking with the Oregon rain. Thats like 2 years on a Thailand seal, and it was cracking already. No more Thailand for me. Datsunlandsocal doesnt have a good track record, and their windshield seals seem hit or miss. Australia Seals are probably very nice, but shipping would suck. So I found another company, mentioned on the Bluebird list, that makes their own molds, and they are Made in the USA. their website is http://www.vintagerubber.com/ They seem to be very nice people their. And they have seals for a few different Datsuns. Anyways, install story: Step one removing trim Step two, cut out the old seal. There are a few ways to do this, so I didnt take pics. Step three, place blanket on hood. Step 4, remove windshield. You will also see that I am cleaning it. At least clean the edges now. Step 5, Remove dash plates, remove old seal, clean channel Step 6, place new seal on Windshield. This can be tricky, but it will go on, Adjust corners to make it look right. Step 7, place rope/cord in under flange. Start at one side of the bottom of the windshield, go around and finish at the opposite side on the bottom. I ended up using standard speaker wire, and not this blue RCA wire. Step 8, place Windshield over opening, Align so its sitting directly over where it should go. Since I am working by my self, I like to place a tire on the windshield to add some weight. Step 9, start pulling the cord. You should be pulling the rubber up and over the bottom flange, You will need to apply some force with the palm of your hand. Work both ends of the cord to the bottom corners. Now while holding the windshield down, start pulling the corner rubber. Take your time, its a little tricky. After you get it around the corner, go up halfway and then do the other side. Continue up to the top corners, approach these the same. Then work your way across the top. Always apply pressure with your palm to help spread out the force. If at anytime the rubber fails to come over the flange, and you can recover it, you may have to restart. My first time I restarted 3 times. Also make sure to watch the headliner as it likes to come out with the cord. Step 10, Wet the track with soapy water, and get the trim back in. This is no fun. And its tedious. Silicone spray seemed to help a bit, but it was still torture. Finally, replace the dash plates. And clean your windshield. You may want to clean the dash out while you have the windshield out.

Laecaon Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Been working on the SUs a bit. Cleaning mostly. Ordered some Stub stacks from the UK, they were wrong, and when I asked them to compare the parts to the stacks they had for the carb size smaller, they were the same. So then I ordered some from APT, only a couple of days ago. No idea when I will see those. I think I am getting some dual choke cables from DTP! And my filter, well some searching around, and I came up with this. The idea was mostly on the bluebird list, but it was along the lines of what I was thinking. Material choice, well may turn out to be a bad idea, but only time will tell. Yes it is acrylic. Melting point is 300F. Mostly concerned with heat when I turn the car off. I think a heat shield is necessary. 1 Quote Link to comment
converted_to_datsun Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 If that works well I might make one too. I just picked up a set of su's today! Need a couple pieces tho... Quote Link to comment

Laecaon Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Got all my shocks. Illuminas for the front. Part number BZ3038. These are listed for both ZX and 510 struts, 510 struts will use a spacer though. Rear I got KYB Excel-G, part number 343135. I was tempted to get some AGX for the rear but I dont know what I am doing with the rear. Now if it wasnt so damn cold to put these on. Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 300 degrees is pretty damn hot. Hot enough that you couldnt touch the carbs if it seen that kinda temp. Quote Link to comment
