The thing about the 200sx axles is, not only do most of them have disk brakes, but there a stronger unit as well.
Altho youve done fine hauling loads of stuff with your stock axles!

Yeah, my rear end has been making a clicking noise at low speeds/no load for about 2 years now. I'll upgrade when it explodes.
Figured out my cheap harbor freight tach is the same size as the little nissan block off plate in the cluster. Making a better matching black face for it, then it's just a matter of fitting it in place.

Threw some 510 hubcaps on the steelies for now. Anyone have an idea on how much a full set of bullseye hubcaps goes for these days?
Used some of the clips for the old a\c to hold the wiring harness lower on the firewall and declutter the top area, and rerouted the booster hose for more decluttering.
Gotta get some purple power in there to clean it all up.

Changed the oil today.
I'm getting a lot of blowby from the valve cover breather. It's not smoky and there's not really any vapors spewing out, but it seems like there is way too much air coming out of it.

Went to the car wash and removed my protective grease and dirt formuler. I guess my car is white after all.

mmmhmmm. I was talking about that yesterday. The cowl is rusted out pretty bad though, so I need to patch it up first.

So, someone gave me a new front bumper at blue lake, but I never caught up with them to say thanks.
Gotta fab up some mounts...

Right on, Dave. I'll keep that in mind for next year.
So, I have a close friend who happens to have acquired a 210 parts wagon today. Getting a new fuel sender, speedo cable, alternator, bumper mounts, core support, exhaust, and all the little bells and whistles that I've managed to rattle loose or otherwise annihilate over the past few years put back into place. All this just in time for a potential drive down to California to see some friends.

PSsssssssst. Bolt in a 86 720 alternator
60amps ftmfw! Mine literally dropped in. I did have to get one nut and lock washer tho for the adjuster. SInce it sits on the opposite site. Plenty of power for all the lights/heater/wipers and accessories + amp n subs.

No need for a 720 alt. My 210 came with a 60 amp. May be because it was a later model a/c car though.
Pulled the bumper mounts and alternator off the parts goon today. Fairly new Napa alternator ftw. Going back for the rest in a few days.
It's a damn gold mine. And I have a gas gauge again. I feel so luxurious.

Got the new alt in today and decided to run some race fuel through the system for good luck. Then went for a cruise.
