jesusno2 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Untill i found this nicely spun rod bearing on #3 why is it that ever motor i have ever taken apart its always #3 cylinder that's garbage. to be honest i was expecting something to be wrong with it. most people dont just yank engines when there still good runners unless a car is wrecked etc. Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 So that crank turns out to be absolute garbage. It was already .40 under which the only bearings i can find are .20 over so in search for a new unground crankshaft. Quote Link to comment
dukerollo Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Cool build. Sucks about the crank, should be easy enough to find another though. Are you sure those wheels aren't AREs? I have a set and they look identical. They have a cast center welded to a spun outer. I'm not sure if the Enkeis were like that. Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted May 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Mine are cast enkie right in the back of em. there where several knock off's produced through out the years. Quote Link to comment

jesusno2 Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Made a flange to eliminate the internal wastegate on my 280zx turbo, since i will be going external. also got the shortblock ready to go with my used forged pistons, and eagle rods.I am now waiting for the machine shop to finish my cylinder head, and a cometic headgasket, and ARP head studs. 1 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Those foam pellets are not going to firm up your springs. Whoever told you to put those in there is crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I was hoping they would work as a extra shock absorber. Like a poor mans adjustable shock just add more foam popcorn for a stiffer shock take some away for a smoother shock LOL! 3 Quote Link to comment

jesusno2 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I did get the struts mounted with coilovers, and camber plates. alighnment is 1.5 negative camber using 240sx camber plates on 510 struts 3.5 caster with my 1/2 longer lower control arms 1/16 toe In. I am using a 10 inch 200lb spring and it rides/drives SO NICE! most solid datsun I've driven in awhile. later i might switch to a 8 inch spring so i can lower it more but for right now i like it the way it is. Can just barley see the Wilwoods poking out from behind those 92's 4 Quote Link to comment

jesusno2 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Tore down my turbo today just to confirm that i did have a 280zx turbo and that i was ordering the correct rebuild kit with the one piece carbon seal. This turbo and the z31 300zx turbo are both the same i found out, and with the one piece seal up front they would be good candidate's for suck through turbo setups. dunno why the last pic is upside down??? 1 Quote Link to comment
