Cost me a prety penny Talk to uncle how much does it cost,that is on my list of things to do,carrier bearings are for big rigs not little trucks. Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Well updates I want to see your hand brake up close,I think I am going to go that route. Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Will do probly won't have time till Sunday tho. Quick tip: go with a reverse master cylinder set up. Mine is a prety tight fit between the cab back wall and the shifter. The brake from end to end measure 21 inches so might wanna measure and see how yours compare with your tranny Quote Link to comment

socaldatsun Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Well I got the wiring all tucked away nice and neat, hooked up the power and switches to crank it over. cranked nice until you listened a little closer.......... knock knock..yup pulled the motor and replacing the bearings.

socaldatsun Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 main bearings, connecting rod bearings, timing kit and complete lower half gasket set is on its way thanks to rockauto.com $145 for everything Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 back with some updates! well finally got the motor turning smoothly no rod knock! waiting till my next day off so i could put the trany back together and bolt everything up. the wiring is cake with the harness i got so there's no issues. i will be swapping the steering links to clear the oil pan with minimal/no modification to the pan. will just need to find a longer bolt to use a spacer for the center link. whats your guys thought on the links? and i also got a crazy idea to build a stroker KA and a nismo cam. the stroker will make it a 2.6 http://briancrower.com/makes/nissan/ka24de_stroker.shtml http://www.importperformanceparts.net/imports/strokerkits_nissan.html both seem to offer pretty much the same but the BC kit is 700 more then the IPP kit. is it just the name that boost up the price?

Datsunjay Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I saw a 280z last night with it, It was OKAY but wasnt amazed. I think this color is more for the boxy type of car "510-521" my wagon is the same color original paint. Quote Link to comment
Datsunjay Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 socal did you buy your 521 off a guy that lived in logan heights? Quote Link to comment
