New World Datsuns...

Aw, crap. I went through this thread just to find that^^^

Hope someone can make do it some justice.

205/50/15 is over sized any ways. 195/50/15 is correct or 185/60/14. Are you saying not enough sidewall or it doesn't handle as good? Because I have a tendency to wear out tires without a strong sidewall. It handles fine, just wanting a little more sidewall to fill the fender wells up a bit more. T...

Oh man, I went for a set of tires yesterday. 185/60/14 Maybe it's because I was running a 205/50/15 before, but the new tire seems a bit on the small side. Really wish I'd gone with at least a 195/60/14 http://i.imgur.com/PXwH6RO.jpg http://i.imgur.com/a4k3dqa.jpg http://i.imgur.com/AkgLfzY.jpg http...

Not sure about the change in track width. There are plenty of performance pads and rotors available for the Maxima but not likely as many as for ZX. Use what you like, I was just mentioning it as another alternative. If, like Laecaon said, they won't change the track width or will change it only a ...

Maxima might be an option for the front too. They are very similar in size and appearance to ZX. I have a pair set aside for mine. http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk302/mistervelocity/510/006_zps57d46344.jpg What is required to get them on there? do they do anything to the track width? Shorter, ...

Are you looking for 280ZX stuff for the front or rear?

For the front, I've got all the Maxima stuff lined up for the rears.

Rain has slowed me down lately, but I did get to something awesome. A steering wheel and hub! My hands really couldn't handle that pencil thin wheel anymore. COMFORT, that's it. http://i.imgur.com/dFP3XzW.jpg http://i.imgur.com/g6gV8yB.jpg I also got the rest of my wipers together. problem: I'm miss...

The hole in the front fender looks like a cut out for the side marker for a 68-69, although I don't see holes for the early model emblem placement between the tire and sidr mirror. If you're talking about the holes under the right rear tail light, that is where the "510" emblem that you put on the ...

Had a short day at work and came home to the new RCA's from California Datsun. To be honest, they are a little rough in a few spots, but overall, a solid unit. They do happen to be the cheapest on the market (that I've seen) so I can't complain. They'll do the job they were meant to, the end! I also...

Little bit of emblem magic here...





I was thinking the emblem on the fender would cover that hole, but no... What's the hole for?

I got a TON done in the last week or so! Got a new set of wheels/tires The new wheels came with tires, 215/60/14 Goodyear Eagle GT. They're a little big for me, but they have never been used. It is nice to know I can safely drive in the rain. Aren't they beautiful?! http://i.imgur.com/J9HG9E3.jpg Ma...

I don't know what they mean by that. Those should work. Never had any issue throwing new ball joints on a 510, specialyl moog. In fact I use those same ones in my b210. Good on you for replacing things. A lot of people are mis-informed about tightening the steering box. Tightening it really only ch...

:fa: notice any difference with the steering brackets? I do, but I've also replaced some bushings and tightened up the steering box... So I guess I don't have a real before and after comparison, but for $20 it was worth the gamble. Next up will be the ball joints. Moog has ball joints but they say y...

Last week I got some plain steel idler arm braces, slapped a few coats of black and a few coats of clear on them. Of course I botched the install photos, but they are kinda self explanatory. https://s21.postimg.cc/3sydybhyv/IMAG1925.jpg https://s21.postimg.cc/whbc1jk53/IMAG1926.jpg https://s21.posti...

Well, bump a few wires and this and that stop working, fix those but bump a few more wires and more things stop working. I'm over it. Ordered a 21 circuit harness. Still not sure if my alternator is internally or externally regulated, but there is a regulator on the fender and it gets HOT, as do a f...

UPDATE 2 Both of the circuits on the top left are getting no power, where might I find the grounds for them? I figure they aren't grounded properly. Top left is for hvac, and the one below is for the windshield wipers. https://s13.postimg.cc/bhhhs1lif/IMAG1910.jpg If I don't make any progress tomorr...

Update, that random blue wire is actually a 12V switched circuit for air conditioning. Clearly I don't have A.C. so I may tap into it for something or other...

I soaked the box in vinegar and cleaned everything up, also replaced all the incorrect fuses with new ones. Still no power to fan motor...

First, a photo: https://s12.postimg.cc/oimmys5b1/IMAG1907.jpg Is this the correct fuse box? Keep in mind that it's a 1/70 car, work a 68/69 dash. I'm getting no power to the woes leading to the fan motor, and I narrowed it down to the fuse box so I popped it of thinking a good cleaning might help. B...
