sergent Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 nice! im in temecula, might see it around. are you using old porn to catch oil drips? ha ha. cool truck Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Quick update So got kicked out of the garage so now my truck is at a coworkers house. And I got the hood shock in its messing with the alignment of the hood so I'll have to alingment Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Looks to me you need to find a shorter one like the 510 guys do.Cant beat the price though. Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 That one is actually perfect. The 510 guys have to place it behind the strut tower do its closer. The Location where I have it is perfect, fully extended all the way up and have about half inch of the rod befor bottoming out the shock when the hood is closed Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Went to the yard to get the rims but they set the truck to the crusher:( I'm fighting to see if I can stop it on Monday to get the rims. The people there were really helpful tho Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Picked up a short shifter today from Craigslist It's bolted on already and shift smooth and well... Short lol Also taped the holes on the hood since they were all stripped out so went with a size up 7m bolts. Hood pop shocks work great. Oh yeah I ended up sending the radiator back since it was way too tall. I'm getting an adco scirocco style radiato. 21.5 x 13 inches. Quote Link to comment

socaldatsun Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Yeah the don't fit I have to grind off a quarter inch. And yeah but If I mounted the shocks were te fuse goes It wouldnt work. Shock would be way too short to lift the hood. Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted November 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 As you can see the qa1 shock does not fit into Beebani brackets After the sleeve and bushing was cut Beforevvvv. After^^^ After^^^ before vvv Quote Link to comment

Laecaon Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I dont think he made them for that type of joint on the ends that you guys got. Notice anything different to this one in his thread? Also, I install lift kits all the time at my work. Having to shave down bushings on shocks is the biggest offender on all the kits.

socaldatsun Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Yes sir like a glove. Com8t was the part number if anyone needed the Bering Got the wrong number for the berings on the second shock it was com8t-102pk http://www.qa1.net/qa1_motorsports/drag-and-street/suspension-accessories/shock-mount-accessories/bearing-kits.html Quote Link to comment
