In that case, I have some info for you.  I've been meaning to get it put up on my site for months now.  I guess I'll have to get that done soon. lol

 

You've been tinkering with electric power steering?  Do tell!!!

13x7 zero with 225's.  I have zx struts and deleted the inner lip in the back and run lots of camber.   They would fit a US sedan the same.  Not a 4 door since the lip is the inner door frame.

question.....you mention zx front struts.....are you running stock 510 brakes and have no issues?? I have 13x7 libras for my 69 but didn't think I could bring it in with zx struts because the wheels are 13, not 14.  Please confirm. THanks,!!

It's zx struts and brakes.  I had to sand on the calipers just a touch so they wouldn't rub.  I also run 5" springs so the spring is over the tire giving me more tire clearance.

Got my coupe going again.  Lost all the brakes a while ago.  I procrastinated because i thought the JDM replacement for the brake switch was giant T making the system if you lost any of the brakes you lost all of them.  Turns out I was wrong.  unfortunately I had to pull it all part to find out.  After fixing the brakes I wanted to figure out how the exhaust stink was getting in the car.  I borrowed Josh's smoke machine.  He said the smoke stinks but using other methods I just wasn't able to get any results.  So I decided just to fill the car with smoke.  Like my younger years.  Found the leaks!  I never noticed until doing this you can look from the trunk area and see the chrome vents in the C pillar.  Pretty obvious why the stink is getting into the cabin.  Although while doing this I noticed my fuel tank leaks.... swap O rings with a used one and it still leaks.  I ordered one from Nissan.  While ordering parts for the coupe I ordered a new thermostat since the motor never seems to warm up.

I was wrong... again.....  but it was nice to know what's really inside all these parts.

Found the problem!  I actually pulled the rear seat and quarter panel trim pieces adn used this fancy tape from work.  Which did help some.  But this is the real problem.  I hope.

I still have the fuel tank leak... But Soon that will be fixed.  Little by little with old cars.  I mean it's just a drip.  Can't a guy still drive it? 

I also removed those wires.  Some sort of added in extra brake lights.

Yeah we are just going to drive it anyways.
