akumazedex Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Btw, just look for legit wheels. This is the only thing Rotas should be used for..... Lol Lmao! Rotas is all I can afford! And I need wheels to clear the new brakes, both the sets I have hit the caliper ;_; who said I can't run spacers... <_< you got anything for sale? Pm me if you do. Welcome to the club lol. Your s130 is clean I'm sure you'll do the s30 justice. Thanks! It's still very much a work in progress, it is a budget build, so I get what I can for now until I win the lotto lol!

akumazedex Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Look what I got in the mail! Techno versions diff mount! Waiting on my hub spacers now Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 SO YOUR OLD DIFF MOUNT WAS BROKEN??? Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 The diff strap was broken, on s30's there's a rubber/cloth strap that holds the nose of the diff down to keep it from flapping around, mine was broken in half, this is a much beefier replacement. Retarded design I know lol. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Idk how retarded I'd call that design lol. You dont see many ripped ones even after 40+ years of abuse..... It only limits flex. If I was going to bolt that big thing in there I would make it worth my time and use the short nose r200 mount. Though its true that a bunch more work all said and done. Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Long nose out of an 280zx will bolt right in with all the right hardware, I'm just being cheap right now lol! That being said, an r200 swap issnt out of the question in the future. This is getting my car drivable phase of the project, modifying will come later. So during my lunch break I ran out and cot couple cans of industrial undercoating.... Did the gas tank and drivers side I've used this stuff before and it's some rugged stuff. Undercoated the wheel wells in my old 210 with this stuff and it never peeled or anything. Need couple more cans after I fix the floor on the passenger side and cut the rear fenders.

Alex Datsun Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Thought the s12w don't do well with the 7/8 BMC? Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Well then, we'll find that out wont we lol. From what I know is they work just fine but you won't get the full clamping force out of them. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I never heard that one before and honestly dont believe it. From everything I read the main reason for even switching the master was with converting the rears to disks and needing that extra force. Since they require much more then drums.

akumazedex Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Brakes! 1.25" spacer! Car! Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Sorry, you need different wheels bro. But those will work for now.... Save up ok! 1 Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Yeah, lol deff not rocking those perminantly. Spacer is actually functional for now, wheels wouldn't clear calipers. And I got them for a deal. Hopefully be rolling today! Fingers crossed! 1 Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Roll on Brotha!!! Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Oh!!! And did I roll! Went out to a car meet down the street from my house to sow there Honda whipper snappers what's up lol My alignment is fucked right now, my gauges cut out above 15mph and suspension is squishy, but it drives! And less sketchy than the first time I drove it. Brakes really did help. Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 whipper snappers.. lol. Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Set the toe today after work, much more drivable now, I had 2* of toe out on the passenger side lol. Also shaved my calipers some since even with the spacer for the rotor it was still catching the outside some when cornering, it was that close. Now I gotta fix the rust holes and re-bushing the car. Then we get to the cool stuff like wheels an coilovers and junk. Coming along nicely I think. Quote Link to comment
