how dare they provide datsun as an option and not stick the Z under it.....

 

Write them a letter

 

The car is up on jack stands and I'm pulling the suspension off.
I'm going to try to get the sway bars, tension rods, springs, and struts all done at once this weekend.

Going to a Datsun meet on Sunday the 17th.

Had a hang-up on the brake calipers. Those 17mm bolts are on TIGHT!

In other news, I sent the J-pipe off to the welder to get the BOV flange welded on.

 

Pics!!!!!

 

Pics a requested!!!

wow, I just found out my camera has different color settings


Black and white photos! Look, its stock 280ZX suspension


Tools and things


look no wheels! It has red jack stands up front


look no seats!


tools on the floor


Rear suspension


Sway bars, bump steer spacers, and tension rods. Mostly new and shiny


I love my new garage


350Z seats in the corner are for this car

 

2 cars deep. I usually park the 280ZX in the back area and the 350Z up front.
Like most Americans, my roommates use their garage space for storing 'stuff'

 

bah! foolish roomies. they need to get their priorities straight!

 

apparently your roomies store old ladies then.... thats strange.


and why are your new sway bars, not new at all? and why arent you done yet? waste of pictures.

 

he never said the sway bars were new.

Never said the sway bars were new. Either that or I missed that.

 

What are you talking aboot? You mean the rear garage space where my 7 yr old daughter is setting in the red chair? You think she's an old lady?

The pillows, boxes, and lamp shade is their storage space. The racks of cool stuff in back are mine. I park the 280ZX next to those when I'm not needing to work on all sides of it.

They're not new because I got them off a parts car a few years ago. Check out the first page of this thread. I already said I "already own some rusty sway bars" They're actually not as rusty as I had thought.

Yes its a waste of pictures but NismoPick wanted pics. I know you wanted pics too.

 

lol! sorry, the pic is so blurry of your daughter i figured it was just some little old lady haha. and i do want pictures, but of progresss.... you should have the suspension in by now at least and working on the tree-fiddy seat install.

 

Well Snow, I had some issues with other things today so I'm getting a late start on the Z.

Plus, I'm pulling this out now before I have even received my springs and struts. I'm expecting them Thursday or Friday.

 

Warez my springZ?!

 

I got mine last week. I think it'll look cool with the red springs and the red bushings.

 

Don't feel bad, I thought the same thing.

 

right ^^^^


once you re-look at it you can tell by proportions, of how much smaller she is than a car that its a little girl. old people shrink but not to 3.5 feet tall. haha

 

If we were storing a little old lady in the garage, wouldn't she be in a creaky old wooden rocking chair?

or maybe out on the front porch with a shotgun....

 

Both struts are out and ready for new springs.
Both tension rods are in and adjusted to length. I removed the old sway bar and installed the thicker bar along with new end links. I forgot how difficult it was to get the end links clamped down enough to put the nut on top.
The rear sway bar and struts should go much faster.

 

hey! i ot those same jack stands

 

not anymore! hahaha!!

 

The rear suspension went much faster. Springs are out and the sway bar is in ready to be tightened down after I get the replacement springs installed.
I guess I'll work on the seats for a bit while I wait to see if my Tokicos arrive today.





----edit
Just called and the box has not arrived. So when they say delivery on the 18th they really mean it.
If you order from Shox.com, just be aware that UPS ground somehow takes 13 days for delivery from the day you order.

 

Tokicos did not arrive to day so I cut these stock springs. 1.5 coils up front, 3.5 coils in the back! No more 4x4 Z
The suspension is back together and the car is on the ground... oh it looks good. It might not be quite this low with the Tokicos on.

 

holy rear camber!!! or is that just the angle of the pic?

 

SECOND THE CAMBER!!!!^^^^^ hahahahah... good stuff. i like it. damn tokico not coming.

 

ya there is a good amount of camber in back
