philcas1987 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Got all exited it was coilover day in Datsunville. Got the front end off the car. Took the 280zx inserts of the two door struts. The plan was to shorten them. Going to run the 510 struts. Shorten them to run zx inserts, and coilovers. Got some pointers from klotz strut thread. So I do my thing. Then go to weld up the shortened peice. The angle iron jig is nowhere to be found. So I can't weld them up. Atleast not yet. Also going to run modified zx upper strut mounts. Lower the car about half an inch more. Stealing more parts if the two door. These haven't had a year of use. Moog tierods, ball joints. Poly Lca bushings and dust boots. Ee Delrin idler arm kit, delrin tc rod kit. Dpr steering brace. Bumpsteer spacers. Added some things that make me happy with the interior. Wood luisi wheel, wood turn signal switch knob. Dash cover. One thing I did notice is tons of rat spunk everywhere. So it was suggested I gut the interior and pressure wash it. Can't wait to finish up the struts and see how it sits. Still need an engine for it!!!! Have round top su's to trade Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 If there has been mice in there you shouldn't be in that car . You can get a verry bad respitory infection. You need to get it and clean it verry well. I would throw a way all the interior and where a face mask when you clean it. Quote Link to comment

Dirttrack510 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Mouse & rat crap will definately ruin a car & make ya really sick. That's one of the things that did in my goon & helped guide me to gut it & build a race wagon outta it. My Goon was BAD NASTY!!! I'm luvin' ur car so far though. Git er dun! Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Cool! Which brand of coilovers are you going to use? are they ebay honduh specials? I noticed the metal top hats, most of the cheap stuff is rubber. Oh and x2 on staying away from the rat crap. WEAR A MASK! I got real sick from that stuff. No fun. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Yeah TR3 polish the whole car so it inhances what paint is on there and then the polish will help keep more water infecting the other rust( well really cant stop rust ,but beads the water off) I like this car!!!!!!! I would just put a streetable muffler(quiet) on there is go n to be a daily. Your muffler is probably fine just needs to be tucked up more and a better end put on(stainless tip) Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Yep i've been checking Philerasscrack, taking the mouse turds and rolling them up in masking paper and smoking it behind the shed. He still seems to get things done though. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 are those orange koni strut cartridges by the back door in your 510? Those are the best shock. push down and turn them and should get hard to pull out. adjustable retraction. best for your coil overs if correct height Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 You can swap plates at the dmv from your blue car to this red one I just swapped mine from my 72 to my 71 Quote Link to comment

Tried you're suggestion didn't work. They were too long anyways. Wish I could have done mr2. You can swap plates at the dmv from your blue car to this red one I just swapped mine from my 72 to my 71 I want to but it's an Idaho car so it has to go to the DMV. About the mice it's no where near the mean green poo machine level of infestation. I'll be sure to wear a respirator. Quote Link to comment

dvboth Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Going through the car I'm my spare time. Had a vinyl top. So that means rust on the roof and pillars. But it's not Luke the rest of it is rust free. This thing will become one with the earth once it gets dd in Portland. Since I don't have an engine yet I've decided to focus on the brakes and suspension. Started with the rear. Has had some recent work done like exhaust and gr3 shocks. Took the drums off. No major wear. Wheel cylinders are look moist. Took those out along with the soft lines. Which of course are shot. Luckily Shawn had won wheel cylinders two years in a row at blue lake. So I have those. 40 year old half shaft bolts are hard to remove so that's what's holding me up. Found a set of super chopped springs. So the plan is to do the back first then the front Growing some fresh greens wondered where the pot was growing! Quote Link to comment
philcas1987 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Was turned off by the idea of rat shit in the dash. I'm swapping it out for the much better 69 dash. Got the coilovers done and front end back together. Quote Link to comment

philcas1987 Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Not satisfied with the coilovers :(. Didn't want to weld the collars any lower. Even shortening with zx inserts. Coilovers are all the way down. If I welded them lower I would have much travel. Kinda want to get rid of these and shorten another set for mr2 inserts. I don't think the engine weight will lower anything substantially. Moar lower up front!!!!! Quote Link to comment
510kevin Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 hell yeah phil, thats he kind of datsun i like. not scared of door dings! should've left mine ratty!! Quote Link to comment
