motavated Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 The aluminum one? I hated it!!!! It lost sooo much torque it was not funny. MORE HP?!?! Well the gearing is so whack I could only pick it up to 85 max! So HP I don't need. I installed the heavy stock one again and now I could burn out at 3,5k. I couldn't even chirp the tires with the aluminum one, well only at 5k drop. I love torque!!! I bought more bushings to replace the ones I messed up. 5$ a pop from Nissan! You just got to haggle. ;) Thanks man! :) Quote Link to comment

motavated Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I think I sold it for 50$. An old man bought it for his z... I think it went to a good home... Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Look what I got today! SS brake lines and this month old addco rear sway bar I have not installed yet. Gonna install them soon! Ohhh PCD, I will try and make it. Thanks! :) Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) Smaller diameter goes to the center on those bushings. Those should be available from your local NAPA too. NAPA part #267-1347. I guess i was a little late posting this, i see that you already have the new ones. Maybe the part# will help somebody in the future.

motavated Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) Yeah! HAHA! O well. Here you go. Bushing-Link / Part number = 54519-08700 @ 4.48$ each! Total for 3 Nissan bushings were 14.76$ with tax. Ohh BTW I bought some JDM made in japan upper control arm bushings from BECK/ARNLEY Part # 1013862 from rockauto and they suck balls. Just a warning... If you want these let me know. THESE BECK/ARNLEY Part # 1013862 are free!!!!! Edited July 29, 2009 by Motavated Quote Link to comment

Ohhh this one? That is the flywheel bolt. This one is for the diff. This one is for the rear view mirror and this one is for the heater valve. :D Now what is going on is that the studs are too big.

Guest DatsuNoob Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I've probably said it already, but damn I love those wheels! Lookin good! Keep up the great work! Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted August 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) Thanks man. Did you see them when I first got them? My bro was like WTF did you just buy? You stupid ass!!! I told him. You could fix these man!!!! Wtf? He said. Buying garbage like always. I was just about to buy some 600$ Rotas or some 700$ konigs when I found these baby's. Here is how they used to look. I found these on the net and they look like 15x10's On my mom I was going to give him 1k!!! But that fool was just being lazy and probably sold them locally in Alaska. These wheels with some flares and my truck would really kick ass!!! Edited August 16, 2009 by Motavated Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 they turned out nice thats for damn sure polished ftmfw Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted August 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Thanks Bonvo. You know what Bonvo. I like your slotted mags, nice and deep. I have some weak slotted mags "14x6" that came with the truck that now do not work since the disk brake swap. I too have a 1965 Mustang but its a 5 lug. If your slotted mags were either a 6 or a 5 lug. I would be alll over them. Great wheels!!! My father had a set and he gave them away... we still have one left... I rebuilt this one.

Braden Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 what are you going to do with your old steering wheel? i want it Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) Sorry man. Pop pop wants the wheel. He wants to finally sound his horn on his Mustang while flipping people off. free time today and did this. Before: After: The odo marker was no good neither was the temp marker. Replaced those the cluster and the wheel. Props to Ben for some parts. Edited August 24, 2009 by Motavated Quote Link to comment
