datsunfreak Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 We started pushing on it then we got the idea to roll a heavy wheel and tire into it and that worked fairly easily I have seen guys slowly ease up to a parking pole and do it. That's why I asked. :rofl: Never seems to want to push in by hand when I've done it. Last time I did it, we took the shocks off, drilled the hole, then compressed them in a vice. Your way is a bit less labor-intensive... B) 1 Quote Link to comment
hoodradKyle Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Toying with the idea of selling this thing, its hard to commit to getting rid of it because it is a really nice car(this nicest I currently own :rofl:), but it might be time for new things and less cars. Other than pushing the bumpers in nothing has been done that can't be undone to return this car to how it looked on page one. Depending on which wheels the car is sold on the price maybe affected. I kinda have a number in mind, but since I'm not 100% sure I want to get rid of it feel free to DM me with offers. Quote Link to comment
hoodradKyle Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Unnecessary thread bump with old pics I do have a small update; I cut half a coil off the rear to level it out some and put some new wheels on, 14x7+8 wats 1 Quote Link to comment
Sierra Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Wow! 1/2 a coil makes a huge difference. Your 210 looks nice the way it stands now. Cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Factory rear coils are something like 100lb spring rate Quote Link to comment
hoodradKyle Posted December 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Factory rear coils are something like 100lb spring rate They aren't the factory rear springs, I think they are front springs from a 260z that had already been cut and were just laying around the shop. They factory shocks are more than enough to control them from bouncing unnecessarily so I would assume the new spring rate isn't too strong Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Interesting. Wonder what the Z car front factory spring rate is edit a quick google search leads me to believe that a front 240z spring is 101 lb 1 Quote Link to comment
