MicroMachinery Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I have some pics of when it's blue ... .. but I'm 6 months behind on pictures: Dude, shakotan710 is "Cousin IT"? 2 Quote Link to comment
shakotan710 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 After plastidip hardens for a while it's pretty strong for daily driving. However it doesn't hold up well against gas and will mess it up quickly. Nismosilvia is correct, is doesn't hold up to gas at all Dude, shakotan710 is "Cousin IT"? Hahahahahahahahaha, dude I'm fucking dying over here, I didn't think anyone would notice that Quote Link to comment

shakotan710 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I have been seeing your car everywhere. Really? Where? This is sooo badass, go with the bear metal look, just deactivate the metal with acid before you apply the clear. I know, that's probably what I'll do Quote Link to comment

shakotan710 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 So the sr rebuild has officially started!!! It's been at the machine shop for a week and my valve stem seals finally arrived at my house, hopefully I'll have pics posted this weekend Quote Link to comment
shakotan710 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) I was able to get the head back from the shop and it looks great, here's the pics!!! The last two pics are of the cylinder that was messed up, it looks a lot better And I wish I would've taken pics before I took it in because it was all fucked up EDIT JAN 2020: pics from photobucket removed since they are no longer visible. Sr20 is no longer the engine being put into this car so I reuploaded some nice photos for fun! Edited January 4, 2020 by shakotan710 Photobucket... 1 Quote Link to comment

shakotan710 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Was able to get a center console thanks to hobbes_the_cat Fits pretty good and it didn't take much to clean it up And i started to clean the engine bay too Here's it after, I still need to clean more but it's a start And then I test fitted some old school toyota steelies that were 13x5.5 They didn't fit to well on the rear Quote Link to comment

shakotan710 Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Hey man, I am a total newbie. What suspension parts are interchangeable? I wanted to lower my 710, but am wondering if I can put strut assemblies bolt on from another car Are you talking about the front or the rear? Because for the rear I'm just running lowering blocks, and the front are 280zx struts with a split collar adjustable coilover Quote Link to comment
Will Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Have you had any problems with the driveshaft hitting the tunnel when you hit bumps? The PO of my car reversed one of the leaves in the springs and it would hit when I was just going over minor bumps on the highway, so I switched the spring back to the stock arrangement. ...it probably didn't help that they cut the bump stops above the axle. I was thinking about trying some lowering blocks to lower the car a little, but not so much that I couldn't handle bumps. What size lowering blocks did you try? 1 Quote Link to comment
Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I had a set of those same steelies on my wagon when I first got it. Painted them and put some beauty rings on them. I even use one as my spare now. My little brother is inheriting them to put on his 69 tan two door... Almost a tradition in my family now. I love your 710, keep it up, can't wait for the motor swap. 1 Quote Link to comment

The rear seems pretty easy, but you said you used 280zx struts, and just a coil over sleeve? 1 Quote Link to comment
Will Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 The front. The rear seems pretty easy, but you said you used 280zx struts, and just a coil over sleeve? Datzenmike figured out to do some adjustable struts with split collars to adjust the spring perch - I think that is what he means: http://community.ratsun.net/topic/24412-my-76-710-goon/page-5 ...it's probably a good idea to go through all 21 pages as a crash-course in things you should know about your new 710 - there's a LOT of useful info in there! 1 Quote Link to comment

I was thinking about trying some lowering blocks to lower the car a little, but not so much that I couldn't handle bumps. What size lowering blocks did you try? I haven't had any problems at all with the driveshaft hitting the tunnel and I'm running 3" blocks, the car feels perfectly fine everywhere, its not too bumpy and if i air up the shocks it gets stiff.

My little brother is inheriting them to put on his 69 tan two door... Almost a tradition in my family now. I love your 710, keep it up, can't wait for the motor swap. Yea, they are pretty cool, unfortunately i only had one that came with the beauty rings, i could get more, but I'm probably going to sell them at the next Datsloco meet. And thanks, we'll see how the swap goes, I'm still debating on whether i just put the sr in another datsun in the future and keep the l series in the 710 because i have some good parts for a built l series and it just seems like everyone does motor swaps these days The front. The rear seems pretty easy, but you said you used 280zx struts, and just a coil over sleeve? Exactly, and you can read up on what Will was talking about, its quite helpful, since mine are going bad i think I'm gonna go for some new aftermarket struts, and the nice thing with the split collar is that I can just put it on my new struts. I also need to read up more on the swap but I'm pretty sure the struts are pretty straightforward.

shakotan710 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Went and bought a pair of Hayashi Commands off a guy that lived relatively close to me and the plan was to flip the faces and get them polished and this is how they turned out Before After Also bought a chin spoiler back in March and did fiberglass repair and some new paint so it would match with the car Also, i decided to have some takeyari pipes made, and they are removable which is pretty helpful, mainly gonna run these during shows, too much of a headache to run them around town all the time Roll in and final setup at BLOX, turned out to be a really good show, great atmosphere and was a really organized setup Now I'm on the lookout for a wider pair of 14's to match the rear, more updates will come soon Edited January 5, 2020 by shakotan710 Photobucket... 3 Quote Link to comment
