[sedan20]

alright, so Mark (Blackmarkit) had a little bit of time, and i swung by his place, and he did a HUGE favor for me and fabbed up a fuel neck for Lazarus. ill be attaching the vent hose today before i start work... but heres some pics of the progress.

IT LOOKS AWESOME!! and the BEST thing is that it WORKS! lol.. and thats the most important part.

[sedan20]

Just finished up with the norcal datsun nissan bbq at woodward lake.. blackmarkit, and konig209 were there, and we all had a blast.

yeah... DATSUN INVASION!!

 

i have to get some new pictures of the car now that its been buffed... ill work on that as well as a few other ideas up my figurative sleeve.

[freetheoranges]

[banzai510(hainz)]

the compound seems to have a very good effect on it... it hasnt faded or hazed... so id say go for it! its the 3M rubbing compund

 

--side note, do the rubbing and orbital in an area that you dont have to look at for a while. lol... i didnt... you can see the marks from the orbital buffer spray on the ground and they dont come up very easy without flooding your garage... :blush: oops... :geek: i figured id let it be a high traffic area and let it wear away... but its not going away very quickly... SOOO... :devil: buff it out on your neighbors driveway. haha

banzai... my favorite exhaust hater.. :console: i took this picture today for you...

[sedan20]

so i posted a thread in the WTB section for a 5spd trans for my L16... id REALLY like overdrive... i do to much freeway driving...

 

speaking of freeway driving... i broke down on the side of 99N today. (2nd time in this car NOT having tools) luckily a friend from closeby had some zipties i was able to tie the burned dizzy positive wire up so that i could get home... mi melted through the conector onto the header.. eehh... ima be keeping a tool bag in the car at all times. equipped with duct tape, zipties, bailing wire, flashlight, and the basic hand tools...

 

i also need a new front window... any ideas on where to go to grab a new one? (i havnt even called around)

 

SIDE NOTE: i shaved the origional stereo mount/cover down to accept the face of an aftermarket stereo poking its little head through... now i just have to get door speakers and wire it up. haha.. till then it just sits there... staring at me... waiting to be used. :blush:

[sedan20]

totally got busted by the cops... hehe.. yeah right... they couldn't pin us on anything solid, so after being detained for WAAY too long, they let me and my friends go... (we were drifting the local skidpad - aka - empty lot that was abandoned by a local business, ripped apart by scrappers, and then deemed hazardous so nobody owns it, its title hasnt left escrow, due to the fact that no entity wants it for liability reasons :D )

 

i just finished changing a popped tire out on my dime when i went to leave and got blocked in by the coppers. haha.. i got this picture though.

[sedan20]

also.. i found struts AND the brake master cylindar from autozone for dirt cheap with lifetime warrantee's.. these will probably be my next purchases so i can go MOAR low, and stop faster ;D

[banzai510(hainz)]

Struts???????

YOu sure you want to buy those????

510s had 3 different size and the long cartridge was the most avail about 15years ago.

However if you want to lower the car MOAR!!!! best to get the 280zx size and cut the strut to fit the cartridge.

 

rebult master dont last long compared to new Jap ones if you can find them.

 

I hougt one like you have pitcture. You have to put the plastic Bell housings on and HOPE they dont leak. Mine leaked and then ruined the paint.

yeah i posted pictures of the struts that auto zone is selling on Facebook too... i may be looking for a different brand... idk...working AT auto zone makes this extremely easy to purchase and return stuff if i dont like it... but yeah, im leaning more and more toward some tokico blue's upon further thought... i found them for dirt ass cheap on egay, and i have the link to get the sway bar combo for the cheapest i found on the web too. i think this will turn out alright...

 

as for the brake master... lifetime warrantee AND under $25 price tag has sold me... i really don't care if i have to change it out a couple times while i own the car... i had the problem with the leaky reservoir also... bright side for me is that it cant really hurt my paint. haha

 

SIDE NOTE: i was just directed to this weld in camber kit for the rear to fix the inherent camber issues that come with dropping a 510 like its hot. lol

 

2nd SIDE NOTE: i also found front camber plates for the 510 on egay aswell... for the same price as any other car... i like it!

[sedan20]

SOAB!!! yeah... something is definetly blown.... time for a headgasket AT MINIMUM...

 

[sedan20]

its snowboard roofrack time!

[sedan20]

i snapped a critical piece of the L series engine today (attempting to fix a leak)... i cant get the rest of it due to massive corrosion issues... the head works fine as far as running goes... but now i have a half inch hole in the side of the head that allows coolant to gush out.... NO BUENO.... SOOOOO.... i JB welded a bolt about the same identicle size into the hole, and will attempt to use it to break the remnants of the threads loose after a two day curing process... well see... either way im in the market for a good running DOHC KA engine/trans/ecu/harness to swap in... im tired of carburetors and this under powered drive train (its also eaten two heads so far... i cant afford this pattern of events.

[sedan20]

started replacing some of the exterior lights with SMD LED bulbs (see the difference between side marker and front turn signal?) while i work on this mess in my spare time... till its fixed i have a 4X4 Ford F250 turbo diesel to drive around... its an absolute opposite from this tiny little car. lol... oh well.. one step at a time.

[sedan20]

alright, i just finished fabricating the front valance into place... here's what happened.

ripped the old one off

Mached the new one in place


Valance for sale... 150.... -SOLD-

a little more maching up.... and time for some novice fab work. lol

tached...AND PRESTO!!

DAMN THAT LOOKS GOOD!! im very happy.

[Zeusimo]

Found U

[sedan20]

peeka boo? lmao...

[banzai510(hainz)]

be honest it Looks good

However the fiberglass dam might be better as they will break off of you over run a curb. This just bends your whole front valence up then youll be doing it again and 510 front valence are hard to come by

[sedan20]

meh... its metal, and can be bent back.. but i don't plan on doing any urban rock crawling in this car... I've got other ones if i want to play like that. :D

 

i never really cared for the stock 510 valance. but i do LOVE the look of a hovercraft... next step, dropping the front as low as functionally possible.

[rusty12ver]

I like it. Can you take pics with better lighting?

[sedan20]

referring to the 510 valance? or the new 720 valance? ( plan on both, i'm just curious)

[rusty12ver]

720

[sedan20]

yeah, i want to get some black paint on the entire thing and then do a whole new photo sesh... i've done so much to it since last session that its definitely needing.

[sedan20]

I also created a Facebook page to try and recover some extra money being that times are hard and all - check it out if you are in the northern California area, ill travel depending on the job. This is something i love doing.

You can have that hole welded shut, but you'll have no heat. That's what I do on all my race car heads.
