mcmlxxxv Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 You are correct, the tires are falken ziexs 205/45 r16 , and you mean you would need 1" lower in the front right? :lol: really nice ! but I would rise the back one inch ahah :) Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 You are correct, the tires are falken ziexs 205/45 r16 Excellent. Thanks. :thumbup: and you mean you would need 1" lower in the front right? :lol: Fun weekend car, yes. Daily driver, no. B) Honestly, a little camber correction (or wider wheels, or spacers) would sort out the look on your car just fine. It's just a lot more flush up front than out back. I love it though. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
ProjectFeint Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Wrapped my hopelessly cracked dash with $5 worth of vinyl material and painted the metal trim pieces that go behind it (idk what it's called) Not perfect but it will have to do till I can find an nos dash pad :wacko: whenever that happens...

jalen Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 When I first came to ratsun I only liked z's and dimes. Now I love 1200's, 411, 620's, 520's, and because of this 610's! Keep up the work Quote Link to comment
ProjectFeint Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Thanks for all the positive feedback guys! I'm going to try to do something everyday, even though it may be small. Give this car some much needed tlc this summer :) Quote Link to comment
ProjectFeint Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Got this sunshade off amazon, still not mounted how I want it but it's much cooler in the car now :cool: Replaced these broken sunvisor tabs with 200sx tabs that are a bit wider and darker and got a day/night rearview off an altima in the junkyard waaaaay wider and it's not white except for the cover that I will be painting haha excuse the mess Quote Link to comment
Will Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I have the same mirror in my 710 - it's a perfect fit. They molded the Altima cover piece in a few different colors, so you might not even need to paint one. Quote Link to comment

I actually stole the idea from your thread :P If it doesn't look oem when I paint it I will have source one from the junkyard, thanks! Quote Link to comment
Will Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Yeah - I see that your original rear-view mirror was made out of the kind of disintegrating plastic as mine too! 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 If it doesn't look oem when I paint it I will have source one from the junkyard, thanks! You know, that cream color would match my headliner perfectly... :rofl: Quote Link to comment
ProjectFeint Posted July 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 You know, that cream color would match my headliner perfectly... :rofl: Not so cream anymore! krylon fusion is officially my favorite rattle can this stuff does not fade, Hit up any pick and pull or equivalent and just snag one. Every other Nissan had the similar beige color :P Quote Link to comment

ProjectFeint Posted July 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Got a new shiny radiator in! Haven't cleaned the engine bay since I painted it but I will clean it up once I get the dcoes rebuilt and yes one of the trumpets fell off on the freeway, luckily the choke didn't fall out with it!

datsunfreak Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Radiator for 240Z or 510? Quote Link to comment
ProjectFeint Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Radiator for 240Z or 510? 180b B) 610 specific from australia, It runs a little too cold now actually... the thermostat doesn't open unless it sits for a few minutes without fans on lol Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 180b B) 610 specific from australia, I was hoping it was the 240Z... :P Where did you buy it? It runs a little too cold now actually... the thermostat doesn't open unless it sits for a few minutes without fans on lol Yeah, when we did one in Tim's car we ended up swapping the 160 thermo out for a 180, then a week later swapped that 180 out for a 192. :rofl: Quote Link to comment
ProjectFeint Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Fixed the hinge on my glovebox and cleaned up some pretty neat paper work I never really payed attention to Turns out the first owner's name was Richard as well! That's Wangan Midnight status right there :devil: Quote Link to comment
djlotus Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Not to burst any bubbles, but that looks more like Michael to me. In any event it's always neat to find the paperwork related to the car. The crossed out 1974 with the 1973 under it on the service booklet made me laugh. 2 Quote Link to comment
ProjectFeint Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Poop! Your right... Going to have to give him a call to confirm though lol! Quote Link to comment
ProjectFeint Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Picking up some new wheels tomorrow hopefully! They are a downgrade in terms of looks from the xxr's unfortunately but should make for a great track/daily set! :lol: Also buying adjustable TC rods from futofab and would like to replace my shot LCA rubber bushings with polyurethane while I'm at it, would there be any structural concerns with the LCA when using poly? Noise, vibration, and harshness isn't a concern. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 They can sometimes make it more difficult to adjust the TC rods. ^_^ But I'd forget the downsides as there's really no upside to running poly bushings there. If you want something stiffer, run heim joints (or other spherical bearings). Otherwise, keep the rubber. :thumbup: FWIW, on my 1200 I replaced my lower bushings with bearings like these: 2 Quote Link to comment
