I'm BLUE Posted November 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Thank you for the tip darrel. I actually didn't on this one at all. I'll try that method on the next one ! :cool: I haven't been thinking straight lately. Luckily I was able to get the (4) bolts that were holding it all together out , without much fuss. The (2) I'm drilling out/extracting were already busted off :-/ ... I just tightened the others a touch/loosened a touch/tighetened a touch/loosened then they came out without much fuss lol. Works "good" with stubborn brake lines as well. I was going to just use heat and pull them out , but didn't have time/impatient (but careful). I wasn't sure heat would help me in this case either.

ArchetypeDatsun Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 How's the Copper ZX coming haven't seen an update in a long time? 1 Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 The engine should be together on the stand (I think). Days spent at my job (current months at least) have cut away the majority of my free-time. The turbo still needs to be re-assembled , but I've been looking at CHRA's to pop on then go as well ! The decision to buy one of those CHRA's is relating to my "free time" mostly. Been tinkering on it a piece at a time. I've been itching to shift the T5 again.... I like it ... I know a few folks simply don't prefer it which is cool too. Quote Link to comment

HOT-SX Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 ---- Making Space for the Copper zxt ---- Had to have the shell hauled off for free yesterday... was a bit tricky with the car :-/ (good responding tow truck driver too) At any rate.... buh bye... :( silly thieves... lookup the plate all you want.. car was never in my name ... muahahaha (more pictures coming when I can get my phone to upload ... doh !!! ) That makes me sad. I have been looking for a solid S110 hatch for several years. Doesn't look like that was it but it's nicer than most of the stuff I see. I love the Z though :) Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 I almost wanna just buy the Z back someday lol! I don't know why I miss it so much! Quote Link to comment

isonianlord Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 Those black rims on page one look a lot like mine. What kind of spacers did you have to use? I'm having issues. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 Like to check in, been messaging you David, what's up man hope everything is good? Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Looks like David took the drivetrain and scraped the rest pretty sad for me to see this as I was pretty attached to the car and always wanted to buy it back. I should have just kept it so many good memories in this car. 1 Quote Link to comment
