pl521sss Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Thanks guys. Drove it around a bit w/ no wobbles or shakes. In a few days ill re-tighten the lugs if needed. Benzo- id hold on to your ZX's..with a bit of wet sanding & polishing anything is possible. Motivated- yeah the cup holder rocks & is very low tech..holds my coffee perfect :cool: Did you say the Z lug nuts did not fit right? It should be a perfect fit unless those studs are messed up or been replaced with incorrect thread pitch Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 ^^^^ yeah it was strange cause they seemingly didnt wanna drop all the way down flush inside the lug holes. They came off the EXACT rims at the yard so im puzzled. The lugs im running now were on my HB back in the day [aftermarket rims]. Quote Link to comment

benzo Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Benzo- id hold on to your ZX's..with a bit of wet sanding & polishing anything is possible. Thanks PCD but I was thinking of selling the wheels as I could use the money and space in my garage and I already have a set of nice wheels on my car. your wagon is looking nice. like the green color and accents on the wheels. goes well and not overly done. cool street car. libras were not bad either.

Pacific coast Datsun Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 TY guys for the love. In the past few days i upgraded to electronic ignition & replaced the fusible link & now she runs alot better. And look what i found in the Nissan tool bag under the dr. seat...... Another old school find & the paper is JDM :D:D:D Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Did an easy mod today on the wagon. I flush mounted the side marker lights. Super easy to do & i like the "smooth" look...... Quote Link to comment
chebetio510 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 did u just put the whole light on the inside??? and have the screws holding it? Did an easy mod today on the wagon. I flush mounted the side marker lights. Super easy to do & i like the "smooth" look...... Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 ^^^ i unscrewed the light & simply put it behind the fender. Had to use different nuts/bolts though. On the rears i had to remove the inner panel a bit to get to the light but still easy. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Made some progress on the console. It's now almost all covered in carpet.. Quote Link to comment
sdsurf Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 haven't seen any updates of late Quote Link to comment
71DIMER Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Yeah Mark...c'mon post it up with another set of wheels on it! :P Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Well been an awesome daily driver so far. Next step is to replace the upper thermostat housing & the temp sender.Found a chrome stinger pipe that i may swap out tomorrow & if so..pix will follow. And yes Mario im ready to test fit the "soccerball" rims ...haha Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Ok got out there today & replaced the upper thermostat housing & installed a NEW temp. sender...yay it works again ! And of course i had to paint it green...:D also put on my new VW stinger pipe i picked up last week... Sounds the same except now it's got "bling" :cool: Test drive will be in a bit to make sure i dont have any coolant leaks. Sorry no rim updates yet Mario...;) Quote Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 first time i noticed the "nissan automatic" badge. Could that be the oldest use of Nissan on a badge in the US? Probelly not, but the oldest i have seen yet. btw-love the wagon as always Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I think the next change will be to install the air shocks Greengoon [dwayne] gave me @ JCCS...:thumbup: & of course i had to paint them... In addition to the air shocks id like to swap to a 3 inch block & trim the bump stops. This should give me zero wheel gap with no air in the shocks. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Ok got a wild hair & installed the air shocks. Took about 2 hours, ran the lines & made a temporary T fitting mount. Overall i get 2 inches of lift & she rides like a dream. Possible future plans are to modify the lower shock mount which will give me more travel if & when i lower the rear more. Ok the pix... Quote Link to comment
greengoon Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Looks great, Mark. Glad you can use them! Love the green-got to keep the theme going. :D So what are you thinking in modifying the shock mounts? Is it to get the shocks more vertical? Mine as you can imagine are quite angled.

Love the green-got to keep the theme going. :D So what are you thinking in modifying the shock mounts? Is it to get the shocks more vertical? Mine as you can imagine are quite angled. Ok my idea is to simply lower the bottom mounting point of the shock which will give it more travel with a 3 inch block & the bottom leaf removed. Not sure if straight down or continue the angle of the mount would be best. Of course i gotta make sure the shaft doesnt hit the trans tunnel in all of this. Quote Link to comment
71DIMER Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Just get off your bum and get it done Mark! Oh btw, I am throwing back a few drinks for you down here. :lol: Quote Link to comment
jonesy510 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 i run 3 inch blocks on mine and i had to cut the tunnel. bu i love how the back sits Quote Link to comment
