I just bought the hardlines and the ss lines and some bolts... No one told me that beebani suplies us with bolts-.- i just spent 30 bucks on the original Z32 bolts for the calipers and dont know what to do with them :/

[flatcat19]

Install them.

[socaldatsun]

they are really long and beebani gives us his bolts when we buy the brackets. they are at least a inch longer sticking out with out threads.

Damn, when I painted my grill black it never looked as good as yours.

[socaldatsun]

I want to redo it flat black, paint is a little chipy and plus i want to match a few parts and maybe thinking about doing the hood aswell?

[hardslammed]

it's your rig but i wouldn't start doing all that black hood, roof shit. keep it clean and simple.

[socaldatsun]

not the roof D: i hate that look. just the hood :) still not sure. I'll photoshop something up and see how I like it :)

the color is f*ckin awesome ! you dont see many orange anymore !

ill trade you for my flat black truck and some cash ! if you want a flat black lol

Heres a pic of my first 510:

wheels look great. I would have gottom maybe a 65 series tire to help fill on the wheel well a little more so it look lower but

Love the color and looks good. I would just work on the motor now for dependability and just drive it.

if anything look into a racing stripe or a BRE 2 stripe in black, do it with a vinyl sticker instead of paint !

might look cool with 2 stripes coming down off the flat black hood ?!

[socaldatsun]

That 510 is exactly what I was going for.

I think the 510 pulled it off nicely! wouldnt have thought so, but looks cool

YES! either of those would look SICK.

So it came to my attention today when I had a discution with my supervisor. He started asking about what porpotioning valve am I using. I honestly did not know what to answer to that. I thought that i was running lines straight from the M/C to the T-blocks Front and rear? This kind of confused me, will I need a aftermarket P/V since im using dual resorvard M/C? the stock only had one IN outlet instead of two for the front and rear.

 

 

BTW do you think 1 inch spacers would be enought to clear the calipers? thats all I have left before my tire start rubbing the fender, Unless I roll them.

[flatcat19]

Other people that have used the 15/16" MC from the Z have not used a prop. valve, and yielded good results.

BUT-since you are using Z32 calipers, you might have to.

 

Can't answer about the spacers though.

That will be a bit of trial and error.

Any spacer you find will probably need to be machined to fit hub.

 

Imagine how much easier, and cheaper, this would all be had you used Hardbody calipers.

[socaldatsun]

I searched on the forums and couldn't find anything on what Pv to use. It would probly have to be an aftermarket one "one for the front and another for the back".

Didn't some one on here made wheel spacers/adapter?

what exactly would the bearing spacer from Klotz do. would it help with this? I didnt want to run too long of a stud though 1' ot 1.5' spacers.

And yes, maybe it would have been easyer, but mine looks sexyer ;)

 

 

 

EDIT* i just read his thread about the spacers, I thought it was a sleeve that was bigger. I didnt understand why this is needed?

[hardslammed]

i don't plan to use a PV although i am only doing the front and i'm using HB calipers. to me Z32 calipers are way overkill for a little truck like this.

 

bigger isn't always better and less is more.

[socaldatsun]

Well I got the new brackets from bee today and I need about 1.25" to clear the calipers. I'm looking at these http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-1-25-6x5-5-Wheel-Spacers-Adapters-12x1-5-Studs-/250855892740?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3ANissan&vxp=mtr&hash=item3a682d2704 right now.

I did run into a snag with this, BOTH of the rear brackets are a little warped. What do you guys think I should do?

[flatcat19]

Heat them up, and bend them back.

[socaldatsun]

 

 

almost ready for the install! stoked!:D

[socaldatsun]

Instal tomorrow! ill take as many pictures and parts list for you guys

Thanks to a few buddies that came over yesterday we got everything up on the truck. I just need to bleed them and buy a few screws to hold down the front a rear T-blocks and some how make the brakets to hold the brake lines in place insde the engine bay. I'm so close but not there yet :(

[socaldatsun]

hey guys quick question, the oil presure line has been leeking and yesterdday it actualy poped off the little nub it was on. I thought i fixed it byt clean cutting the line a little and pushing the line into that little funnel brass thing but i guess not. when i turned on the motor it just flew out and oil squirted everywere. what would be the wau to correct this? i couldnt find anything :/

[flatcat19]

Is there any of the line left in the fitting?

 

Is this for an aftermarket gauge?

Remove fitting, and install an original oil pressure switch.
