edekalil Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 I wouldn't mind seeing some rain over here.... we just went through a streak of 100+ degree weather. Greg I got to work in New Orleans yesterday at 2:30 and iT poored. They had flooding all over as it does a lot down here. Wouldn't want my 510 in that stuff. I guess that's the coust of living off the Gulf. I wish i could send ya some of it. 1 Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Took off carb, air cleaner, distributor, and coil off the Goon. Need to return them to the rightful owner, the 70 2 door I got from a little old lady way back. Gotta get the gas tank ready to go back in and get her fired up again, she runs real good and she feels so much tighter than the others cause the low miles and she would go so slow when I saw her around back then. 2 Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Drove the Goon to the new garage out of the rain. 3 Quote Link to comment

Wow that 2 door looks good from here. That door is a easy fix. Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Wow that 2 door looks good from here. That door is a easy fix.It runs fine I just have to put the gas tank back in it. Then take back the few parts I used to get the Goon going to drive it to the house and put them back on the old girl. She is a sweet ride all original 1 owner befor me. 1 Quote Link to comment

edekalil Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 It just dawned on me, the speedo works on the Goon. I remember looking at it on the way to her new home. I have a video of her running real good after finding a couple of vacum leaks I fixed. Quote Link to comment
Redrumls Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Was having a vacuum leak so I replaced the old set up I had for the air intake pipe work. Looks better & no vacuum leak for the goon.. Greg 1 Quote Link to comment

Redrumls Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 I've been testing the reliability of my wag & it seems to be holding up.. I literally have to "drive" this little goon... it's a little rough on the bumps, wants to go into grooves on the road & the wind throws me around, but I love driving it.. It's about 30 mi. into town or to work from the mountains where I live and the goon seems to handle the roads with ease. There's always something to do to it, keeps me busy.

Lockleaf Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 If you get some camber plates you can turn them 120 degrees and dial in more caster (and some camber) and it will help with that groove following, should you care enough to want to do something about it. But it will also make the steering heavier so there's also that. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Also 30 miles to town from the mountains where i live sounds just about perfect 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks Lockleaf! Greg Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 What struts do you have? Swapping to 280ZX struts will help with that also. As well as help lower it. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment

As well as help lower it. :thumbup: I have 280z struts that were cut down for the 510 but is missing a few things. I think I need top hats & camber plates. I'll post a pic tomorrow (I'm at wrk right now) of what I got... you'll probably know right away what I'm missing. Thanks, Greg Quote Link to comment
nullbound Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Been working on front suspension. Before: Still have to do an aligntment, maybe lower some more in the front, and do the rear (lowering blocks, qa1's, and composite springs).
