Ha. I live in the desert.
Slim chance.

Anyone know if the 240Z aluminum drums will fit the H165 rear end?

I believe so. A lot of guys use 240 finned on their first gen 510s. The part number listed for 1st gen and second gen drum brakes are the same, so I would think so.

40206-U4800 confirmed! Also used on the 610/710 and the S10. Sorry Kieth I didn't look down the page far enough

We're good.

WTB 240Z aluminum drums.
I'll rock these until I can get some 200sx axles .

Digging this thread man. Subscribed!

Thanks.

Ya know-I have put more effort into this A10 than either of the 521s I had combined.

I want things to happen with this car.


I will say here though that I am a bit overwhelmed by the bodywork that is needed on it more so than anything else.
All the mechanical things-no sweat. I just don't know body work at all.

Me too. Body work is just to the left of Voodoo.

I really know nothing about doing body work but I was given a hammer and dolly shown how the whole concept works and I went to town I love doing body work now.






Holy shit did I just sound like an info mercial?

I need a welder and a brake for what I have to repair.
Maybe even an English wheel.

I totally get the concept-I just have no experience in doing any of it.
Lots of bubbling and a couple of big holes around windows that need love.

Ugh! Fap, fap.

No pics of the clam shell?

lulz. You mean this hideous thing?









Wasn't ready to talk about it yet-but I guess we get to now.

What. In. The. Fuck.

I don't know the story behind it-but this is what the car came with.
Some aftermarket ignition switch, hazard switch, and everything else that was on the shell or behind where this "art" is is connected to this damned thing.

The combo switch is also really, really fucked up. It is loose, broken, and very intermittent when it comes to the functions.
Needless to say, I need a combo switch assy and a clam shell like none other.

I am also keeping my eyes up for a new steering wheel and an entire dash assy.

Why? Why, dear God, why?

You need to frame that shit after you remove it from the car.

I'll hang it right above your fireplace.
